Restaurant review part deux: Jonathon’s Oak Cliff in Dallas


Friday beer cheese soup is worth the lunch break.

After being published in Food & Wine magazine for their Friday beer cheese soup special, we had to try out Jonathon's in Oak Cliff. We decided to get there pretty early (11:15 a.m.) in case everyone else read the same article; by the time we finished our lunch, the place was certainly filling up.

We each started with a cup of the beer cheese soup and loved it. It was flavorful and creamy but wasn't too rich. As described in the magazine, there were hints of bacon and jalapeno -- making this the best beer cheese soup we've ever had.

We decided to split the chicken pot pie for our entree. Again, we were very pleased. The presentation was lovely and homey. The pie itself was even better! The crust was buttery and flaky and the flavors were wonderful, a true bite of fall with peas, carrots, a solid gravy, and shredded chicken.

We wrapped up our lunch with a delicious pumpkin chocolate chip muffin topped with cream cheese frosting. A nice end to our carb-y lunch.

Our gentleman server could not have been nicer and the food got an A+! We are excited to have another favorite in the OC!

The Dish: Friday beer cheese soup is worth the lunch break, but don't forget Jonathon's serves up some delicious brunch (chicken and waffles), too.

I did not have a good experience at Jonathans. Service was very slow and the chicken burger I ordered turned out to be ground poultry with a very strange taste...not good.

Went there once, stood near door for maybe 10 minutes while servers left and right avoided making eye contact. Just as we were getting ready to give up and leave, someone offered us a table. Bit of a problem with having front and back entrances also--you don't really know who's next. Now, they did have THE best club sandwich I have ever eaten. The fried egg on it was great.
