Came here for breakfast on Saturday morning as I was passing through the area. The location is rather odd, as it’s a diner located in a shopping strip with a lot of miscellaneous stores around it.

I was looking for a new breakfast place to try that wasn’t far away and offered a sit down breakfast with lots of options including chicken fried steak and pancakes. This place delivered.

Overall, I will give a 3 star rating, but only because I wish I could also include a half star. Overall, when my husband and I came here, we were excited to try a new place. We might go back maybe one more time, but otherwise, no.

I wanted so much to like this place. Breakfast enchiladas were messy and watery, the waitress brought them over with some of the salsa spilling over, got all over my pants. The beans were terrible, bland. I was offered a different side, went with the potatoes – they were slightly tastier. The chef was nice enough to come out and explain that they don’t season the beans, not his choice. I’m not sure if I’ll give them another shot.

I had the Mac Daddy Frankie breakfast and it was delicious, but OMG… I read it came with am 18 inch pancake, but for some reason didn’t think it would be the size of an XL pizza

The food is amazing! The menu has so many delicious food it’s hard to choose! We have been here multiple times and it never disappoints! We love the charming outdoor dining area. Last time we were here my husband lost his wallet and the helpful servers found it and reached out to us, saving us a lot of hassle and headache!

I ordered via postmates yesterday morning from this location and they followed none of the notes I put. I am gluten free and I requested the pancakes with fruit on the side so I could use it for my benedict. That didn’t happen. I asked no English muffin which is gluten. It is on here. I asked for chorizo instead of ham and said add any additional costs and that didn’t happen. Didn’t care at all. Waited over an hour for food I can only stare at in disappointment. I have an autoimmune disease. Don’t order delivery here. No care given.

It’s hard to really describe my opinion of this place. On the one hand, it’s reasonably priced and a nice little breakfast restaurant. On the other, I didn’t enjoy my meal.

Very good experience eating at the Potholder, food is tasty and plentiful. They are short staffed but still do a fantastic job waiting on everyone. Please be patient.
