Let me start by saying- wonderful location. In the heart of Oak Cliff- Bishop Arts District- very charming and right by another specialty restaurant VH Pho House so no competition there. Either you want something fried or you want soup..
This review will definitely be my invitation for people to come back into and support Oak Cliff. With all of the gentrification going on- I am definitely taking part in enjoying what my hometown has to offer. Oak Cliff has been known for far too long for negativity; crime, AIDS epidemic and a struggling school district- but no longer. We are making some changes and I am here for it.
The 30-seat dining room is a cozy blend of homegrown (local staff, one page menu with explanation of ingredients (I need that)) and rustic modern (eclectic drink menu, main street patio seating, dallas trolley stop). You can also eat at the 4 seat bar with direct views of the kitchen staff and the stove.
Jonathan's menu is by-the-book southern. Grits and oatmeal, country gravy on almost eveything, chicken and waffles, salad with everthing but enough lettuce and SUGAR for my grits lol.
So far, so good – this was my first experience. The door greeting is warm, service accommodating, and food more delicious than not.
Service can be bumpy, too. A perplexed hostess told me to choose my own seating while she held the menus in hand looking around. I was confused, she was confused I was like ok guess I pick this table.....
The pricing is reasonable and the serving sizes are Texas approved. "Everything is bigger in Texas"
Huge fried chicken breast and a belgian waffle served with country gravy ($11.5)
Main dishes all sound appealing. Biscuits and gravy, House Burger, Working Mans Salad and Club Sandwich- offer you an array of menu choices that stick to the traditional brunch like menu.
I did not order or even consider dessert- I had a belgian waffle! Leftovers for sure and my Texas Grapefruit juice was glorious. (Ruby Red grapefruit juice with Deep Eddy grapefruit vodka) This will be on my next home hosted brunch menu.
All in all this will be a frequent meet up spot for me and the crew whether for sunday brunch or midweek lunch. Inexpensive, centrally located and good vibes only!!
Check em' out!
