Jonathon's Diner

Cuisine: American
Neighborhood: Oak Cliff/South Dallas

1619 N. Beckley Ave. Dallas, TX 75203

214-782-9273

Here you’ll find the city’s best chicken and waffles, along with some of its best gravy with plenty of black pepper. Breakfast is served all day, but don’t skip the sandwiches like the super-tall club sandwich or the macaroni and cheese that’s full of love and no fanciness. In 2022, they expanded with a second location at 5337 Forest Lane.

Top pick: A mimosa and All in One Waffle (bacon, eggs, sausage, onion, green chile, cheese and Jon’s pepper gravy, drizzled with hot sauce) at 11 a.m. on a Monday.
