I hadn't been to this Potholder location in over 10 years, so I decided to take my partner since he had never been. I love the vibes here! He ordered the breakfast enchiladas, but the pork was cold. We also got a create-your-own omelette, which was good, but the real star of the meal was the French toast absolutely delicious! Our total came out to $60 and some change, which was a great price for everything we ordered. The highlight of our visit was definitely our waitress she was not only beautiful but also had outstanding customer service. I'd come back just to have her serve us again! Looking forward to trying something new next time.

I Loooove this place! So many breakfast options, American staples, a full list of vegetarian and vegan options, a fun and colorful ambience, and as if that was not enough: the service rocks! Perfect for couples, and families. I believe it is also pet friendly as I have seen people sitting outside with their furry friends. PSA for vegans: do not miss their tofu scramble with house hash brown potatoes!

On December 29, the year of our lord 2024. I stepped into this establishment famished and not with the highest spirits. The decor homey and inviting, the seats comfortable and adequate. The silverware and menu reminding me to live a little and enjoy the smaller things in life. As I perused the menu, one thing caught my attention. Behold, the chicken and waffles. "Buttermilk chicken tenders, atop a Bacon Waffle with green onions" for a mear price of 17.95 U.S dollars. What. The ever living hell. Is a bacon waffle. I pondered, is a waffle with bacon inside? Or perhaps is it a waffle made entirely out of bacon. The question had to be answered. Upon my waitresses arrival. A goddess with a nose piercing. She addressed me as love bug, a name that made me feel like I was more than a customer. I was family. The order of chicken and waffles was requested with no green onions. There seemed to be no point for their inclusion to the supplement. The lemonade that was ordered alongside was sweet and left a nostalgic feeling of my childhood on summer days. When the holy grail arrived I was taken aback by its sheer beauty. The chicken tenders, crisp and golden brown, shining like the Sistine chapel. Its smell was intoxicating. The waffle, perfectly fluffy and its own shade of perfect golden brown. A beautiful dollop of soft creamy butter sat ever so sweetly in an oasis of chicken, melting ever so elegantly, leaving a trail of gleaming succulent cream. Cutting into this masterpiece was comparable to the first sight of dragons in the HBO original series, "Game Of Thrones." The chicken was crisp and tender. As I took my first taste of this. The only word I can use to describe it is enchanting. As I rose from my seat in irreplaceable ecstasy, I heard a choir of baby angels singing in my ear. This must be what heaven feels like. I saw the face of god before me as I licked my lips searching for crumbs to fulfill my desire for more. It was apparent to me. The potholder is not a restaurant. It is a sanctuary, for those to get lost in the sauce of golden syrup, buttermilk and bread crumbs. Second photo features My actual order. My brother ordered the chicken and waffles. I got the Beth's luau omelette which I did not have the energy to finish as my cousin offered me a serving of his own chicken and waffles. Potholder, I love you. En fin

This was an old favorite of mine when I used to live in LB years ago and decided to take my family there for breakfast on a recent visit. Everything is what I remembered..large selection to choose from, good value (size of meal to price), warm neighborhood feel, and lots of seating. Our service was good and the family loved both omelettes that we shared.(baked potato and a sausage spinach). I am already looking forward to the next trip back.....lots of competition for your $ in LB, but this one still is one of the best for a hearty, delicious breakfast.

Ray and I often share an omelette as they are usually too big for just one. True here. I failed to get pix, darn it. But we finally made it here. Haven't been since my first ex and I lived here. Loved it then. Love it now. Of note: you can sit outside, around the corner from the front. Server was attentive and we were there without a line. The location is on Broadway and due to this usually busy. We arrived about 11 ish on a Thursday. Good time to come.

Stopped here on a whim since they had so many different options! We didn't know what to choose but needed up going with the Chunky Cluck (omelette) and Nacker Snacker (Omlette). We both really enjoyed our food, they had lots of toppings and was super filling. Our favorite thing was probably the potatoes! We've never had hash browns like that before! They had skins on and green onions and the portion was huge. I subbed my toast for French toast and it was yummy but definitely a lot of food. The service was quick both the hostess that sat us and the waitress were super attentive. They also were super friendly even though we were taking forever to decide on the food. The restaurant was super casual all sorts of people were here from couples to families. The restaurant was decorated like a fever dream but not in a bad way. The room we sat in had a huge mural on the ceiling and the walls were covered with pictures of people around the world holding signs saying "eat at the potholder." Would definitely come again!
