    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!

    Catfish, eggs, grits

    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.

    Great family owned spot. Easy to get into very friendly staff and delicious food. I love the breakfast sandwich and also the fried catfish. I come to eat and order lunch for later haha. Will be back soon.

    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

    Wow such a great find!! Can't believe how close this is to the beach and next to LAX and my hotel…read more Cute and quaint all day Thai cafe really love what they did here. Super laid back great spot to grab breakfast with friends and family or even impress that one foodie friend you haven't seen in a while! Now to the food! I ordered the Best Avocado toast, house made chimichurri, honey, nori goma, radish, and power green, sourdough! Fantastic so good prob the best avocado I've ever had ngl I've had some good ones but yeah wasn't overly sweet either had a great balance truly enjoyed this one! I also ordered a Breakfast croissant, well because I'm a foodie, which was absolutely delicious! Super flakey croissant with egg, cheese, lettuce, tomato, bacon, spicy mayo. Egg and bacon cooked just right all the flavors came together like a perfect bite every time. Even the tomato was red and brought a nice touch to the whole sandwich. The waitress was super busy as she was the only one running the front. She crushes it I've seen bigger restaurants struggle with more staff and less people. Thank you so much for letting change tables mid dinning to sit outside is the sun!!! I was truly impressed because this was the type of restaurant I was looking for this morning near my hotel and had healthy breakfast options and was local! Absolutely coming back to this gem anytime I'm in the area.. Thank you so Toast & Thai love your little cafe! Can't wait to try the other menu items, like the Biscotti's lovers waffles!!!

    This place was DEAD when my friend and I went here at around 5PM on a Sunday. It wasn't a big place…read moreat all and it looked like you could order at a kiosk and have your food ready to-go, so maybe eating in isn't their specialty? I don't know, but this place had a big menu and decent reviews so we chose to hit up this spot. The vibes in here were super laid back. There was only one woman who we saw working which was also the hostess and everyone else's server, which was just us and another woman to tables away from us. We had a difficult time choosing something to order since the menu was so diverse. Everything from croffle ice cream, to clam chowder, to a full Thai menu. I saw banh mi on the menu and instantly knew I had to order it since I've never tried it before. So, I ordered the chicken meatball banh mi sandwich with a side salad (removing the jalapeño and spicy mayo). My friend ordered a Thai iced coffee and the pineapple curry. The food came out relatively quickly. My friend enjoyed her Thai iced coffee, but she said she wished she'd ordered the Thai tea instead. She also really liked her pineapple curry, and it came out piping hot. I tried it and it was super spicy, so not for me, but she really enjoyed it. My banh mi sandwich was interesting. Right off the bat, it was 75% bread. The bread wasn't bad. In fact, it was chewy and not tough to tear into, but the sandwich itself was mostly bread. There were only like three meatballs in the sandwich, which were cut in half, and I feel like there wasn't anything special about the meatballs. If I was blindfolded, I would think they were the Great Value frozen meatballs in a bag from Walmart. The pickled cabbage was nice though, even if the mixture made the entire bottom of the sandwich soggy af (but I like soggy bread so it was fine with me). I tore most of the bread off and left it on the plate. The side salad dressing also spilled onto the sandwich and contributed to the soggy bread. Now that I'm looking at the photo I took of the sandwich, there wasn't much cilantro on there at all. The pickled cabbage was at the very bottom buried in between all the bread.
