“Best fish in town, I really love this place. Ownership is fantastic!”
— Patrick Dills“Had the catfish as we have heard it was good while we were staying here for a couple of months. It was all good and we had the hush puppies with the fried okra. Price was good too!”
— Jon Hackler“Purchased 2 plates: The 2 piece catfish plate with baked beans and okra and the whiting fish plate with mac n cheese and okra Add ons were side of hush puppies and the fried green tomatoes. Total spent $41 and change. 1st time eating at Uncle Larry's, and it was enjoyable. Okra was amazing, cooked thoroughly, and flavored just right. Baked beans tasted like canned bush b.b, Fried green tomatoes were okay, the breading was a bit heavy and a bit meally from the breading. They had a firmness to them, which I could tell from the texture they were the perfect ripeness. I was looking for excellent but this would be a 2nd best compared to other restaurants. Fish was moist and large pieces. Mac n Cheese was decent. It did not have a WOW factor for me. My husband, on the other hand ENJOYED IT Food was also made to order and was fresh. Local spot on East Brainered Road: If I wanted some fish, I would put this on the list.”
— Nicki“Went and bought three fish sandwiches and a large onion ring. I was there right when they opened. The fish was not freshes cooked. It tasted like leftover fish microwaved. I know what microwaved leftover fish looks and tastes like. Only thing that was fresh was the onion rings. Will never eat there again.”
