The Potholder Cafe Belmont

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 featuresMy 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 review is based only on hostess/client service. We stopped in today around 11:20am and waited outside for the hostess. There was a small crowd and we asked someone if we are supposed to write our names down and they said no, the host will come back. So we waited patiently. When she came out, before we even said a word, she immediately displayed her palms to us and said "everyone just give me a second" and went to seat a few guests. When she returned, she asked if I wrote my name, I said not yet. And she spat "just so you know, that pen doesn't bite." It was so rude and stunning that it took a minute to register. She then asked my name, I told her, and she asked me to spell it. It's really a common name so I am not sure what confused her. Then she began her onslaught of apologies. To her credit, she looked tired and said as much. But wow - I didn't deserve that. f I had less restraint of tongue, I might have made her day a lot worse. Instead, we decided to leave without eating. Sadly, I can't comment on the food. I'm sure it's good. It's been a while since we dined here but it's been a nice brunch experience in the past.

Never ever coming to this restaurant again. Food is mediocre and service was ass. My friend got home and ended up vomiting all his chilaquiles back up

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.

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.

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!

This place was recommended to me a while ago. I was in the area and decided to stop in for a to go order. Street parking only. There are apartment buildings in the area so keep that in mind when searching for a spot. I was fortunate to get parking half a block away. Inside you have several seating options in several rooms, patio dining and counter seating as well. The service was excellent. While waiting I was offered something to drink and multiple staff members checked in with me to make sure I was being taken care of. I ordered chocolate chippancakes for my daughter, which she loved. I opted for the California Omelet which came with potatoes and toast. Serving sizes were large and the food tasted really good. I will defiantly go back to dine in.

Food , hash browns, dishes , customers all of it sucks why would you buy a place after the last owner try to sell Popeyes Chicken !
