My friend brought me here since he had been coming here for 30+ years and the food is great. I got the Turbo and it was a huge portion so I took half of it home for later. Service was super fast and they have pictures of people from all over the world with signs they made that say “Eat at The Potholder”. Super friendly staff and the prices are great since I only ate half and took the leftovers home. This is a Long Beach staple for breakfast and lunch.

My husband completed the Mac Daddy challenge haha that was fun. My chocolate chip pancakes were good, but nothing to write home about. I also thought my eggs were a bit on the slimy/wet side? So unfortunately, I did not love them! Not sure if it was a one time thing or if that’s how their eggs are usually made? Coffee was okay, but it was cool to support a small business in the area!

This is a delish gem in Belmont Shores. After a long day at Vans Warped Tour, their 18 inch pancakes really hit the spot. I had the Bar Room eggs, it was like a taco and a country breakfast had a baby! Our server was everything I believe being a local in this town is, warm and delightful!

I bought my home in the Belmont Heights area of Long Beach in 2000 and discovered the POTHOLDER almost immediately. My career has had me bouncing around the country for the last 17 years but I’m back in the neighborhood. Couldn’t wait to introduce my wife to this fabulous, local breakfast & lunch dive just 2 blocks from home. I was pleasantly surprised at the great upgrades the new owner, Michael has done to the place. It still has a great, funky feel, just upgraded funky. Before Covid, Saturday or Sunday meant 60 – 90 minute waits to get a seat. That should (and does) speak volumes for the food. Always tasty, great portions and great service to match. If you’ve never been, you owe it to yourself to give it a shot. And after you’ve been there, you too will be telling others to EAT AT THE POTHOLDER. (You’ll understand after you’ve visited.) 🙂

Gave the 18” pancake a shot but only got halfway through it . The chilaquiles were by far my favorite although everything we had was super good. The potatoes, the sausage, and the COFFEE…the coffee is amazing. The service was just as good as the food Can’t wait to be back!

This place exceeded my expectations and more importantly put a smile on both of our faces. Located just down the street in a corner building, the sign is easily readable, had a 50s vintage feel and says “cafe”. We decided to stop here for breakfast and the service was prompt, friendly, and professional. The waitresses consistently checked in on us without being interruptive and always wearing a huge smile! 10/10 A+ would definitely come back again.
