On November 9, 2024, after running some errands, I took my family out for breakfast. I especially wanted my hubby to try this location as I've been here before. The parking lot was quite crowded, and the restaurant was even more so. It made for a wonderful day at the Potholder.We added our names to their waiting list. Within seconds, we were asked if we would prefer to dine outdoors or indoors.We were promptly seated indoors. Within minutes, our beverages were brought to our table.Erika, our server, was very attentive. After we placed our menu orders, we engaged in nostalgic conversations.Erika arrived with our food. I had ordered a patty melt on sourdough bread with curly fries. The carbohydrates were satisfying.A la carte eggs scrambled, two biscuits on the bottom, chicken-fried steak on top, two sunny-side-up eggs, hashbrowns, and two delectable hot chocolates.Erika approached our table and inquired about my husband's meal. He playfully remarked that it was terrible, causing her to halt in her tracks. We all burst into laughter.My patty melt was delectable, bursting with flavor and served on buttered bread. The chicken-fried steak was rated an eight out of ten, but it could have used more gravy.The biggest complaint we had was all the ice that was used in my hubby's Michelada the taste was good, one or two I e cubes would of been perfect besides all the small ice and serving a Michelada in a Bloody Mary cup come on.

I ordered a California omelette, sour dough toast, and a short stack of (which would be 3) BLUEBERRY PANCAKES. Not buttermilk pancakes...BLUEBERRY PANCAKES! I was charged $34.00 and some change for this breakfast. And what did I get? A bland tasting omelette, SOGGY sour dough toast with no jam, and BUTTERMILK PANCAKES. I specifically ordered BB pancakes because I have always believed Potholder #3 had the best BB pancakes in the LBC. On top of that, I called them to let them know they screwed up my order, and the waitress who took my call says, "Oh, well, I didn't charge you for the blueberries."? Seriously? No "Hey man, so sorry. Come on back and we'll have some BB pancakes ready for you."?And to top it off, they gave me only ONE syrup...for a short stack. Really? Like..give me one syrup if I order ONE pancake. You give me ONE syrup for a short stack? I'd be lucky if I could get a third of my stack smothered in syrup. Needless to say, I threw this shitty breakfast away. So done with this place. I'm not one to Yelp, but this breakfast and shitty customer service really ruined my morning. Going to start getting my breakfast at "Schooner or Later". Sure it's out of my way drive wise, and a little bit more expensive, but at least they'll give me my short stack of BB pancakes and TWO syrups, coupled with GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Wanted to try somewhere new, but this will be my first and last time here.Atmosphere: 9/10Definitely an establishment that has been here for awhile. Very small on the inside and most of the seating is in the back of the restaurant. I saw several heating lamps that should help keep patrons stay warm when the cold weather officially hits. Wouldn't hurt to get some updating, but overall it's clean at the least.Service: 10/10Greeted warmly, allowed to sit where I wanted and everyone was very attentive. It was the best team work I've seen in a long time.Food: 2/10The only reason I won't return is the food. I got the Popeye scramble with hash browns and sourdough bread. No seasoning was used at all and the salt and pepper didn't help so I slathered everything in ketchup which didn't help much either because I'm not a huge fan of ketchup.The eggs were over cooked, the hash browns were more like mashed potatoes, and at least the toast was toasted to perfection. I didn't complain and I was very hungry so I dug in, but half way through I found a hair in my food.As someone who refuses to complain I asked to pay my bill and was offered a box, I told my server about the hair and showed her, she felt awful that this happened and offered to have my food remade. I told her it was fine, I didn't want to complain but just pay my bill. She was very sweet and ensures I was ok with not getting my food redone, of which I insisted it was fine.This could be a great place, but the bland food will keep me from coming back. I can forgive one piece of hair because things happen, but their recipes need some flavor.

I've eaten here many times over the last few years and have never been disappointed. It's a casual, no frills, home cooked kind of spot. It's one of those you put in your diner rotation. It's difficult to recommend anything because everything I've tried has been good. But I did recently try for the first time the breakfast kebabs and was pleasantly surprised how much I liked it. It has chunks of French toast, sausage, and fruit and served over eggs. (The sausage is a little greasy though.) There is a large patio in the back and some inside seating. It can get busy on the weekends and the parking spaces fill up with all the other businesses around. The service is always friendly and efficient as well

A local favorite, for sure! Delicious food, decent portions, great selections! And fast, friendly service throughout. When it's busy, be prepared to walk as the parking lot isn't very big.

Came on a weekday. 5 minute wait. I liked there was an option to sit outside under a covered patio and individual umbrellas. They have weekday specials. Fruity Friday Special- got pancakes w fresh strawberries. Pancakes were nothing extraordinary but very fluffy w fresh strawberries. Grand Prix Omelette with an upgrade of a side of Super Spuds which were both great! I liked how crispy the Spuds were. With the 2 meals+ 2 coffees the bill was close to $50+tip.

Finally ate here for the first time even though I just live down the street and pass by it all the time. My friend and I shared The Couch and it was PLENTY of food for both of us. It came with 2 big pancakes, 2 slices of bacon, 2 sausage links, eggs and a HUGE plate of delicious, cheesy hash browns!

We just moved here and looked for a place to have breakfast once a weekend. It's not far from where we live and it's apparently a chain. I am thrilled by what was brought to our table. The cinnamon pancake was INCREDIBLE. They cut it much like a cinnnamon roll and the butter on top was a perfect finish. My eggs and potatoes were really good, the bacon was okay but it had a different taste. My girlfriend had the Hoboe omelette and it was really good, the salsa and hash browns were good as well as the sourdough bread. The service was terrific. They spent all their time looking after us. We have found our spot.

Good hot coffee, large portions and friendly servers. This is our favorite location out of them all. There is usually a wait so we were happy to get there early today. Don't sleep on the outdoor tables. There's a lot of space and the area is nice.
