Fantastic food. Southern done right. Fried fish was fresh, crispy and light. Best okra ever. Greens were great.

Tuesday night was kind of slow. Service was great, food was fresh and flavorful! Our server put out just the right amount of sarcasm fun! Everything looked clean & organized. Light Christmas music played in the background. We enjoyed our dinner & will be back!

I ate more than I should’ve before I asked a family member if it’s normal for it to be pink.

I actually went to Uncle Larry's for my birthday. It was incredible. The waitress was very friendly and she came back to the table several times during our visit to make sure that we were taken care of and that we had our needs met. She also gave us an extra sauce to try out. It was their smacking sauce. Let me tell you, it was really good!!!
I encourage you to check this place out. The food was wonderful and the price was just right too.

The gentleman who served us was very pleasant and welcoming. Anything we asked for, he was eager to answer and was very helpful. However the lady that delivered our food had a bad attitude and when we asked for something, she yelled for someone else to get it.

The food: Fried Pork chops were extremely greasy, unseasoned and the coating was falling off. The baked beans tasted like can baked beans, hot sauce was very watery. The fish was fried perfectly, however, unseasoned. The okra was ok, just tasted like frozen okra that was fried. The fountain tea and lemonade had a weird after taste.

We were excited to try this establishment but was very disappointed.

As a Chattanooga local, I have had the pleasure of having the absolutely best blackened catfish at this location, along with the Brainered & former Ooltewah locations. The easy listening background music provided a great dining experience during lunch time. Ask for the Smackem Sauce to dip your catfish in, sends the flavor over the top!!

I do wish they could find another location to open in the Ooltewah area. Ooltewah is a fish desert, nobody has anything close to the delicenses that Uncle Larry cooks up!!

Unfortunately, I think when uncle Larry is not around, I think that the cooks and the people in there they’re not making the products the right correct way this is the second time I’ve been in there within a three year limit and the food was definitely not as good as before the downtown Chattanooga one is the best place Food was very bland. The fish was very bland The fried okra was very bland and the pasta salad was very bland and I always get the same thing every time on Brainerd Road not very happy for $40 I used to think that they were the best catfish in town, but I’m starting to have doubts now that’s the second time that I’ve been very disappointed in a long time

Larry’s has good catfish sandwiches, but unfortunately the customer service (from one woman) makes the experience unpleasant. The woman who works at the front (and answers the phone) has a terrible attitude and comes across very rude and unhelpful. It really takes away from the quality of the food. As much as I enjoyed the catfish, I wouldn’t return unless the customer service improves or they bring in someone new at the front.

Just tried for the first time and WOW that was amazing!! First of all the service was top tier! everyone was so sweet and friendly the atmosphere was just so welcoming. Once I told them it was my first time they threw in a piece of catfish for me to try on the house! So kind and generous. Secondly that food was AMAZING AND FRESH!! Everything was piping hot and the flavor was crazy good 10000/10 from the catfish, shrimp, mac n cheese, and best fried okra i’ve had in years! Another 10 for the portions for a fair price!! I can’t believe i’d never had it before I will definitely be back. 🔥🔥🔥
