Reviews for The Potholder Cafe P3 in Long Beach, CA

Been here twice and both times were great. Mimosas were on point and loved the house potatoes very good. This is one of my go to... spots! Made my list????? Read more

All in all the food is pretty good for a few exceptions. The potatoes are never done properly and I've no idea why. been coming... here for a few years now. Needs more seasoning and cooked more. Gravy very bland. Read more

I grew up on the delicious Potholder Cafe. I use to eat there on Broadway when an older man and woman owner It. They are... probably in heaven now but thank you for keeping the delicious food without changing any of the recipes. I now live closer tothe Lakewood restaurant. Excellent service and great food. Very friendly too. I love this place since the 70s hippie days. Read more

We got the chilaquiles and the Special, which was the breakfast enchiladas with shredded beef. The chilaquiles I got were dry... and seemed to be over cooked, which I didn't expect since other reviews spoke so highly about them. My wife's enchiladas werefantastic, one of the best enchiladas I have ever had. I would definitely come here again. Read more

Came here with my brother the other day cause it was close by our current vicinity and it did not disappoint! The food was... delicious. My brother said and I quote "the best breakfast he's had in a while". We both got the chorizo and eggs andsubstituted our bread for french toast. I opted to get the fruity pebbles kind, and paired it with the boysenberry syrup and itwas really good! ???? Read more

Was super excited to come here to the Potholder. Every time I drive by there seems to be a line. So, wife and i decided to... give it a try for breakfast/brunch on a Saturday morning. We arrived about 1030am. Signed in, waited about 30 min, then we wereseated. We sat in a pretty spacious patio out back. The place was running on all cylinders! First thing I notice is thatservice is tip top. Everyone was very efficient, pleasant and helpful. Second thing i notice is that even is very clean andorganized. With limited space it's very helpful. And finally tho is an amazing space for families with little kids and openenough for strollers! However, one looming issue with my wife and i was the food. I don't know if this was just an off day,but besides the hash browns, everything we ordered seemed bland from the coffee ($3.25 with free refills), hot chocolate,mimosas (($10.95) and bloody Mary ($10.95)to the tall stack of banana nut pancakes. I placed an order for Maritime loco Moco($13.45) to share with my daughter. Not sure how they make brown gravy but it underwhelmed and tasted like it came from a canor box. Eggs Florentine ($11.95) that my wife ordered were pretty decent, especially the hash browns. But the main part of thedish also underwhelmed. Hollandaise sauce was bland for me. And finally the tall stack of pancakes ($10.95) with banana nut($1.95) cooked in. Portions was huge, which I ABSOLUTELY LOVE, but texture and flavor wise i bit chewy. Not sure if it was thenuts or walnuts cooked in that made it chewy, but my wife and forced ourselves to eat about 1/2 the order whole we just left theother half. There are definitely a number of other items on the menu that i would otherwise try. I don't know of I'd order thesame things again. All in all, not sure what the hype here is. For me, service is excellent but food for me wasn't worth theprice. However, come an try for yourself and see. Happy eating! Read more
