I was trying to find a decent place for my friends and I to have breakfast/lunch. I was visiting from Florida. I came across the Rusty Pot Cafe. SOOOO HAPPY I found this place. The food is AMAZING!!!! I had the fried chicken and waffle. When I tell you that waffle was hands down, the best waffle I've ever eaten. The chicken was seasoned perfectly! My friends ordered the fish, grits, and toast. They, too, said it was delicious! The food was so good that I made it my business to grab takeout again before I headed back to Florida. The service was great! Staff is super friendly, and they check on you to see if you are in need of anything else. I will ALWAYS return to the Rusty Pot Cafe EVERY TIME I'm visiting LA! GREAT FRESH FOOD, GREAT SERVICE, AND A GREAT ATMOSPHERE!!! I HIGHLY SUGGEST EATING HERE!!!

My friends and I get together on the last Sunday of the month for breakfast and I chose this spot. Let me tell you...the food was amazing ! Four in our party got the catfish and grits and our other friend got the waffles. Those cheesy grits though...perfect! The customer care was impeccable, the atmosphere was cozy to us and we will be coming through again! Thank you for loving your clientele by giving home cooking!

The service was exceptional, it was not crowded and the food tastes great. I had the chicken and grits which were flavorful and more than warm. Eating outside has its own difficulties dealing with flies. There is no outdoor cover to reduce the flies and would improve the comfort of eating outside. The indoor is small with 4 tables, but was clean and bright. I applaud the effort it takes to have great food in a small area. Try it, you will like it.

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.

Tried this place for the first time today and it was absolutely delicious. Best waffles and chicken wings in LA and I have tried other places. The chicken wings and fries were tasty too. The servers were extremely nice, will definitely go back when in the area. Seating is limited but we got there at a good time and got a table.

I absolutely loved The Rusty Pot! The service was A1 from start to finish—everyone was so kind and welcoming. My phone died during my visit, and one of the gentlemen, I believe his name was Miguel, kindly let me use his charger. That was excellent customer service and truly appreciated! Now let’s talk about the food—it was amazing! I had the fried fish, cheese grits, and cheesy eggs. Everything was seasoned just right and cooked to perfection. My babe had a burger, and he loved it too! We’ll definitely be back. Thank you for such a great experience!

The food is good, service 8/10 but that's only because he didn't tell me about the special so I ended up paying more money. Went back the next had the chicken and waffles. Chicken seasoned good and the waffle was on point. Grits were done right. Owner is a sweet lady and she comes out great and talks to you and she's doing the cooking. The server was nice always smiling and attentive.
