The food was delicious and fresh, which means it could take a few more minutes than expected. It's a small place, with maybe 8 tables or so, so don't be surprised if there's a wait. The young ladies who took my order and brought out my food very attentive and checked on me periodically to check how the meal was and refill my coffee. Yes, you won't pay some low diner-type prices here, BUT the price was absolutely reasonable considering the portions and taste. If I'm in town again, I will return.
Food was delicious. Planning to go back and try the catfish... Had the Pot's Denver omelet & grits was so delicious that I didn't take a before because I wanted to dig in. 👍🏽 It sure was good. Side note we were looking for a breakfast spot to have breakfast in honor on my grandmother's Birthday. We visited her after @ Inglewood cemetery.
Updated Review So today it was cold, rainy and windy; I happened to be in the area and of course this was the first place in mind. I could smell the waffles down the street being made while I walked up. Quality service and even better food! I got myself the Rusty Pot Burger with the Parmesan Fries! The best burger I've had in a cool while, the char was there and they sure didn't hold back on all the fixings! PLEASE COME AND SUPPORT THIS PLACE!
Diane took very good care of us! Her customer service was excellent! We flew in from Dallas and came straight to this establishment! Food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! If you’re in the area visiting or live here GO TRY THE RUSTY POT!
Food was delicious. I highly recommend the catfish and Belgium waffles.
This is a quaint and humble spot which offers both indoor and outdoor seating. You will need to use a QR code to order from the menu that menu is very simple not very many items however the items that they do offer are amazing. My husband and I had the waffles with four wings and the bacon egg and cheese sandwich with brioche bun french fries and tater tots. We also had orange juice. The service was prompt and we did not wait long for our food our food was fresh hot and very tasty well seasoned and that portions were just enough.
This place is no longer called the "Rusty Pot", so I totally missed it at first. (It's now called "Toast and Jam"). Everything was delicious and the service was great, the waffles were particularly amazing. The outside seating area was a little sketchy tbh, I'd recommend getting a seat inside or order yout food to go.
I’ve lived in LA my whole life and I can’t believe I missed this gem in Inglewood! The Rusty Pot Café has been serving the community for over 11 years—soon to be renamed Toast and Jam—and it absolutely lives up to the hype. I had the Bacon Scramble, and my sister had the Chicken and Waffles. I took a bite of her chicken and WOW—it was the bomb! My scramble was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The service was warm and welcoming. They're currently doing some revamping, so give them a little grace on the aesthetic—but the food is still top-tier breakfast goodness. If you haven’t been, now’s the time to support this Inglewood staple. Highly recommend! #BlackOwnedBusiness #InglewoodEats #SupportLocal #BrunchVibes #HiddenGem #ToastAndJam #RustyPotCafe #LAfoodie #BreakfastGoals
Oh my goodnnnessssss wow!!! Seriously was one of the best plates of food of my life and it was breakfast food (some of the best food to enjoy) !! This place was beautiful and the staff is super amazing. Shoutout to Stephanie big time. She was very kind and delivered amazing service. I got the fried chicken wings and waffle breakfast plate and when i say fall of the bone delicious hot chicken I mean it. The chicken was so simply seasoned it made me feel utter bliss. Felt like wow seriously words cant describe it. It was so incredibly amazing. My dad got an omelet and grits and the grits were super amazing as well. The waffle !!!! The waffle was so soft and they serve it with a lil cup of melted butter, gosh it was so beautiful. Thank you toast & jam / the rusty pot. I am so incredibly grateful for that meal and the people that provided. 10/10 preflight meal as well. Much love yall
First visit and the food was great, basic menu, had great customer service. Try to get there before 11 as we did because it started to get busy and from what I could see parking became hard to find as other businesses began to open as well. Small place so it's ran like the chow hall in basic training, no sitting around after eating 😅.
