Buttermilk pancake
Stephanie M.

Amazing food! Super spuds for the win! And I always get such great service no matter what location I go to! It feels like an old fashioned diner but everything just feels like comfy diner vibe!!! The pancakes alone are worth the visit! My favorite weekend breakfast spot!

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 chip pancakes 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.

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 features My 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

Service was unfortunately not good. Our server was not happy, friendly, or willing to expand her knowledge of menu items. Her mood was somber, irritated, and unsettling. Food was delivered pretty quickly, but my omelet was under cooked so I sent it back. The new omelet came back pretty quickly and was cooked throughout this time. But I ordered the spicy ground beef omelet and it was not spicy at all. Very bland and the egg tasted like old grill grease. I was disappointed about my meal but my other family members said their dishes were ok. Ambiance has lots of photos on the walls promoting eating here which is cool wish I knew more about the back story. Seems like a popular local spot so I might have just had a bad experience.

Chunky Cluck Omelette (top) Nacker Snacker (bottom)

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!

THE MACDADDY!!!!

Get the big 18" pancake! And if you cannot finish it, most of you won't, please share it with the people around you and just watch and enjoy the smiles! GO MACDADDY! If you're in Long Beach, California, you have to stop by here and eat and visit & highly recommend!

When you get inside it's a place where you order and then find a seat. We got here on a Saturday…read morebefore noon and it was already packed but no wait to place our order. First of all one of their workers with the mastche and tattoos is so cute which is always a plus for the ambiance. It didn't take long to get our food. About 5 minutes and they brought it out to where we sat since we dined in. First of all! You need to get an aguas fresca. We got the medium for the orange mango and the Jamaica. They are so natural. I'm a huge fan of artificial flavor so this was a huge shock, but it pairs so well with their food. My only regret isn't getting the large. For the food we got the burrito 2.0 asada and the chivichanga chicken. The burrito was great but very heavy on the beans. Make sure you get extra green salsa. It's their best and a perfect balance of salty with a hint of sweet. The red salsa gets spicy. If you can't handle hot Cheetos don't eat it. Now the chivichanga thing was perfect. It's so tiny but the fact it's about $5 was perfect. I have never had something so well priced and portioned before. The way I can describe it if you ever wanted to taste high class Taco Bell that will make you want four more then you need to try it. And I mean this in the best way possible. It's so cheesy and savory and yummy!!! Truly just from these two dishes we will be coming back to try the rest of the menu. Our next dishes is to try the tacos!

The tortillas tho…read more... Have been hearing a ton about this place, so came to give it a try. Interior is super cute with tons of seating. We ordered caramelos with the poblanos inside, as well as their horchata. Tortillas are some of the best I've had. Super soft and flavorful from the grill. The fillings and salsa were good too, but it was really wet, and the bean ratio especially compared to the meat, was a little off. Always am going to want more meat. Horchata was unique since it was coconut based. Overall solid spot with patient staff. Tacos La Rueda is still better, but will be back when in Long Beach.

Downside is just parking around the neighborhoods then you have to walk over. But hey I think it's worth the small walk and think of it as exercise before you dig into your awesome meal.

I realized that this pop-up was actually just a street away from where I live, which made the decision even easier. Upon arriving, I encountered a bit of a wait--there were at least 15 folks ahead of me in line, eagerly anticipating their delicious orders. After standing in line for about 10 minutes, I could sense excitement building in the air as the line inched forward. As I observed the scene, I couldn't help but feel the buzz of anticipation surrounding me.. The flavors of sweet marinated pork and fresh pineapple have a way of dancing on your palate. I plan to capture a few photos to share once I'm a little closer to the front of the line. Got a taco dinner $10 rice,beans and 3 tacos and Agua fresca horchata So here's the review I got three tacos Al pastor 2/5 no flavor .. it was missing more citrus and seasoning,even the piña bites where bland Carne Asada 2/5 it taste like reheated leftovers in which he poured all the meat on the plancha Pollo 4/5 had seasoning Rice 4/5 flavorful Beans 2/5 no flavor ,pinto beans Horchata 3/5 overly sweet Overall they hype is not what you think. Tacos are affordable,Agua frescas $5 Will I be back probably not.

Our service was very slow and the drinks took a very long time to come out. We were some of the only people in the restaurant, so I can't blame it on being very busy. My girlfriend ordered a mojito and it tasted more like a margarita than anything. Our appetizer was okay but for the price you pay you don't get much. My burrito was decent, nothing to write home about. But you could definitely get a better one in Long Beach for $5 cheaper. My girlfriend ordered a salmon special which was about $30. I've never had a more overcooked piece of fish in my life. When the server asked how our food was I informed her the food was extremely overcooked. She didn't seem to care and there was no offer to find some kind of solution. I wasn't expecting a comped dish or anything special, but a little acknowledgement would have been appreciated. I wouldn't reccomend this place but if you're going to the club there and want food I guess this could be a decent option.
