    Hidden Gem in Inglewood! Sometimes you just have to give a small spot a try--and The Rusty Pot Café in Inglewood did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff made us feel right at home. Between the three of us, we ordered two different meals: the catfish with grits and eggs, and the chicken and waffles. Both dishes were packed with flavor, seasoned to perfection, and gave off that comforting, home-cooked vibe with a touch of gourmet flair. The catfish was crispy and tender, the grits buttery and smooth, and don't even get me started on that waffle--it was golden, fluffy, and paired perfectly with the well-seasoned chicken. This place may be small, but it has big soul. Friendly service, delicious food, and a vibe that keeps you wanting to come back. The Rusty Pot Café has earned every one of these five stars--I'll definitely be returning again and again!

    Found this place after trying to go to The Serving Spoon and decided to give them a try. The service was great and our food came out really fast. But, I didn't love it. I had the catfish, eggs and grits, the fish was really good but those grits... no ma'am. I didn't enjoy the eggs either. Hubs was a little more disappointed with his food. Definitely wouldn't go back. I'm used to my server asking me how everything was after my meal. This server didn't, but he knew I didn't enjoy it. Half of the food was still on the plate

    After following them on Instagram, I was not expecting that ambience. It reminds me of a hole in a wall with the lack of decoration, ripped furniture, and plastic tables with plastic table cloths. I was willing to look past all of that if the food was good and unfortunately it wasn't. I ordered the chicken and waffles with eggs on the side. The waffle was bland. The chicken was salty and tasted like it was fried in old oil. The grits and sweet tea were good. The bacon is cooked in the oven so it was salty. I also did not like the syrup they provide. Service was great though. Unfortunately, I was left underwhelmed. Perhaps I'll try again in the future.

    Ask the Community - Rusty Pot Café

    Do they serve mimosas?

    No, just good food

    Is there an updated menu?

    Yes and I went there and I left I was so disappointed,

    Is this a black owned business?

    Yes, I believe so

    Hi, I was wondering if Rusty Pot Cafe does breakfast catering? Asking for a party size of 140, wondering what the options and pricing would be if they do have it?

    I suggest you contact the restaurant directly

He looks at my order (in addition to the other donuts I ordered, I wanted two twists for my daughter and received two glazed round donuts). He corrects the order and said sorry. But did not go the extra mile to make me smile. For the wasted time I had to take to go back to get the right order. Not an extra donut or perhaps a coupon to entice me to make another visit. Well, I will not be back any time soon. Cause I only went back because of my kids. Randy's won't be seeing me. :-(

The folded egg sandwich is phenomenal, but the real game-changer is adding their house-made turkey sausage. I tried it once, and now it's hard to order anything else. It's packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and easily one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had. The pastries are just as impressive. I had a seasonal peach Danish that was incredible, and the peach monkey bread with vanilla glaze was absolutely out of this world. Thankfully I had a couple of people to share it with, because otherwise I probably would've eaten the whole thing myself. The coffee is consistently excellent, the atmosphere is warm and tucked away from the hustle, and you can tell they care about every detail. One thing many people may not realize is that their brioche buns are so good they're featured at other popular neighborhood restaurants. Great food. Great coffee. Great people. Every visit reminds me why this place has earned a permanent spot on my list. If you're anywhere near Inglewood, do yourself a favor and stop by. You'll probably be planning your next visit before you leave.

I could understand one bad experience, but 4 times is enough for me to say I gave them a fair shot, and it's just not good. With so many options locally, this place should be avoided. The kitchen staff is the problem. Breakfast isn't hard to get right, so either train them or turn over the staff and get people who at least care about the customer and have some passion and respect for what they make and send out the door. This was made by someone who doesn't give a sh!t about what goes out the kitchen door.
