Jonathon's Forestwood

My partner and I came here for brunch after he went with a friend and had an amazing experience. Let me tell you, this place? Amazing. No other word for it. The atmosphere fits a comfy diner vibe. Nothing fancy and that’s the best. We had no wait on a busy Saturday morning and the service was 10/10. Shoutout to Rebecca! She was kind, funny, warm, and fast. Would love to have her again. Now let’s get down to the food. I can not say enough about the food here! My partner had the Huevos Juanitos and I had the Sopapilla Waffle. We also started with the Brunch Kabobs. The kabobs were HUGE. The sweet coffee glaze paired beautifully with the tender and slightly spicy meat. The drippings added to the arugula and blueberry salad beneath the kabobs creating a lovely flavor. I could eat that as a salad by itself! The Huevos was FILLED with queso, peppers, cheese, egg, etc. All ingredients combined for a complete and cozy taste. Everything worked so well together! The Waffle…. Jesus they were phenomenal! I won’t lie, they were the best waffles I’ve had in my entire life. They don’t need any butter or syrup because the sweet vanilla crema was more than enough. The cinnamon and sugar created a slight crust on the waffle while the inside was still soft. The price was great. We spent $55 for two people. And that was with two speciality coffees, an appetizer, and two meals which we had to take a decent amount home because they gave you a lot. Overall, I would highly recommend trying this place out. They have a delicious menu, nice atmosphere, and wonderful staff.

Stopped here for a quick lunch in a break between my appointments at MedCity. We were greeted and seated quickly and brought waters along with our menu. Our sweet waitress was very attentive and gave us plenty of time to review the menu. I really, really wanted to try the chicken fried steak and eggs, but decided to order lighter since I had scans to do after lunch. I went with the chciken salad sandwich and sweet potato fries. The idea of ordering lighter really didn't pan out though, because this sandwich was LOADED! I've ordered chicken salad sandwiches from McAlisters and Chicken Salad Chick before...this thing was not at all skimpy like the others. This one wasn't messing around, which I appreciate...though I wish you luck fitting it into your mouth! The sweet potato fries were perfectly cut and prepared. I have no complaints at all for this place and would love to return one day for that chicken fried steak!

My husband and I were in the area, and as soon as I saw the pictures on Google, I knew we had to try it. My husband got the burger with ham, egg, and bacon, which was good (he is picky and it was prepared as he requested). I had the peanut butter and jelly waffle with a side of bacon. It was so good! I loved it! The peanut butter was definitely the forefront flavor with the jelly hints. Service was spot on. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and seated. We got drinks in a reasonable time. The place was quite full. A little slow on the taking our food order and getting served, but again full room. The atmosphere was comfortable. Clean. The tables were a tad close together, and the busyness of the place made the chatter a bit loud.

Ask for the Chicken Froed Steak! Jonathon’s has to be experienced, as a mere description just can’t do them justice. Great atmosphere with a bar-and-breakfast-diner motif. The service is second to none. But the real attraction is the chicken fried steak. Big enough to fill the whole plate, they start with a prime cut of beef that’s tenderized so that you can cut it with a fork. The batter is thick and tasty (contains Saltine crackers, they say) and fried to perfection. Plan on either getting a to-go box or unbuttoning your britches and getting a nap. We got the breakfast CFS & eggs. Matched with coffee and a Bloody Mary is enough to make a puppy pull a freight train!

Went with friends as a last minute brunch. Was seated quickly once the entire party arrived. We all enjoyed our food and speed of service. The poinsettias were great and chicken was so juicy and had a nice crunch.

Jonathon’s Forestwood is absolutely delicious! The portions are generous, and the food is incredible. I used to frequent the original location, and this one definitely lives up to its reputation. The Kure has always been a longtime favorite, but honestly, there isn’t a bad item on the menu. This time, I had the All in One Waffle and the Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs—both were outstanding. The servings are huge, so I’ll have plenty of leftovers for tomorrow. Jonathon’s is always a winner!

We love Jonathon’s and usually go for a late breakfast/lunch. Everything I’ve tried I have loved. Fried Chicken salad is my favorite. Their salad dressings taste homemade. Love their cappuccino and Bloody Mary bar. My mom loves the club sandwhich- it’s like no other. We took family from out of town and they were amazed at the size and flavor of the chicken fried steak. Chicken and waffle was also a hit. Only reason I gave 4 stars for atmosphere is at peak times, it is very loud. So we go later- problem solved.

We were blown away by the massive portions! The chicken fried steak was tender, chewable, pretty decent. Gravy is excellent. Our favorite here is the chicken and waffles. The chicken batter is crispy, and the food came out fresh. Service is kind!
