    The service was nice and quick for a Saturday morning. I ordered a veggie omelette with home fries and opted for a side pancake, instead of a biscuit or toast . The omelette was good, loaded with onions, green peppers, tomatoes and American cheese. The pancake was the best thing I ordered. It reminded of Cracker Barrel pancakes with a more homey feel. The home fries were blah. My partner gave their Country Ham omelette a 4 out of 5. I didn't see the cinnamon roll sign until we were exiting, maybe next time.

    I love to relive my past Southern life when visiting and one way is to visit a great Meat and three and Larry's checks all the boxes! Five of us had lunch on a Friday and were lucky to snag a large roundtop table. We went on Friday because catfish as well as limas are on the menu. These places all look the same as if I had stepped back into my childhood. This one is spacious, the staff are seasoned and on it, the vibe is happy and of course FRIENDLY and the food was great. My lunch consisted of three nice sized fried perfectly catfish fillets, greens, limas, fried okra, hush puppies and unsweet (iced tea). Food was fantastic! Great experience. Unfortunately we were only in the area a short time but I will definitely go again if in the area. The breakfast menu looked great as well.

    Such a down home field. The food quality is amazing. The price is great. And it taste amazing. I give them an A+. This is where the locals hang out.

    Excellent breakfast!! Great atmosphere and it appears everyone knows everyone! So friendly in this stereotypical southern diner with great hospitality. Breakfast was great and the service was wonderful. If you are looking to eat in Springfield, you're crazy if you pass this place up! Highly recommend, I'll be back if in the area!

    I love good Southern meat and threes. And I enjoy small towns and new discoveries. And Larry's is both of these. It told me something that I was meeting a friend here for lunch (she's the local), and wandering through the rather large dining rooms in search of her, I met Larry within about 3 minutes. The proverbial "How can I help ya, darlin'? Who ya lookin' for?" and we were already friends. At Larry's, you can sit down at a booth or table and a waitress will bring you a menu with the daily specials, or you can speed things up a bit and walk thru the cafeteria-style line yourself so you can see everything on tap that day. We opted to cafeteria-it so we could scope out that yumminess. In an unusual turn for me, my dining companion and I both opted for veggie plates. It's not that the barbecue chicken dripping in sauce didn't look good or the fried fish didn't smell awesome, just seemed like that kind of day to me. She had fried squash, fried okra, and greens - I opted for green beans, macaroni and cheese, and mashed potatoes. OK, look. I've been low-carbing it for a long time, so when in Rome... don't judge me. We both opted for cornbread instead of rolls. Before I get to the nitty gritty of the food, let me also say that I was treating my friend to lunch, and our two veggie plates with bread and one iced tea came to a combined total of $10.25. I stopped and made sure the cashier had rung both of us up thinking that couldn't be right, but it was. Buddy loved her fried squash, I was jealous I hadn't picked it, and claims their okra is also top notch. I don't do okra, and I try to judge meat and threes to some degree by their mashed potatoes so had to try that. Well, my veggies were OK, but not the fabulous-ness I was hoping for on par with say Arnold's in Nashville or even Pie Wagon. The macaroni and potatoes both needed salt, and neither was all that. The green beans were good, and the company was nice. The cornbread - oh my gosh the cornbread. Now the cornbread... that was worth the trip to Springfield by itself. Ever so slightly sweet, perfectly brown, moist yet still very much cornbread muffins. Yum. I ate two. And thought about going back, seriously. I figured if I skipped on some of my potatoes would that be allowed? The desserts looked really tasty, quintessential chocolate meringue pie, pecan, lemon icebox... all that wonderful stuff you'd expect in a small town meat and three. I can't attest to their taste, but I'm betting they're not a bad option if your caloric intact will allow. My dining companion proclaimed that their breakfast is really their calling card. If your schedule works out to be here in the mornings, don't miss it. In a rather surprising turn, I also noticed they have a drive thru. That's awesome - meatloaf, fried catfish, veggies, etc. all in the drive thru lane. We need that in Franklin! The outside of this building looks like a big ol' log cabin, but that's not carried over inside. Nothing fancy about the place, and that includes the price - so I'd vote give 'em a try.

    We loved our breakfast at Milk and Honey!…read more I've read this place can get very busy and have lengthy waits! Thankfully when we stopped in on a recent weekday morning there was no wait and we were seated in the most perfect spot right away! We chose an outdoor table! The outdoor patio is so nice, even in the Nashville summer heat!! We got there before it was super hot out and the patio kept us super comfortable the whole time!! :) We had a really great waitress who was very knowledgeable about the menu and was able to help us make the best decisions for what we were craving!! We started with a couple of drip coffees that came out in adorable cups, on saucers, with spoons, very lovely appearance! Quite delicious! We ordered a fried chicken biscuit sandwich that was served with their home fries and a side of country gravy. This was delicious! I HIGHLY recommend trying their table hot sauce! We loved it so much we bought a bottle to take home!! :) We also ordered the Chicken and waffles. This dish is also served with home fries and a then a side of syrup. This meal was also fantastic!! We had a really great experience at Milk and Honey and would highly recommend for someone looking for not just a good meal, but an entire lovely breakfast experience! :) Don't forget to check out their gift shop and bakery treats to go, on your way out!!

(We had other dinner plans in a few hrs) we got the ricotta/honey bread, the honey butter biscuits and a Bloody Mary. Ricotta/honey: everyone raves about this but we thought it was boring. Ricotta was cold but the bread was warm. No flavor. Added salt and pepper just for something. It gives me ideas of something better to make some day do for that I'm Grateful. Biscuits: husband and friends loved them!! Could have used more butter but still good. Bloody Mary- YEEEESSS!! It was perfect. Our friend got the hot chicken and he loved it. I had 1 bite and it was definitely hot!! And yes- very good. All in all, a good different brunch place for an out of towner. Nothing amazing that I will come back for. Great customer service!

    My friend and I were looking for a spot to grab a quick lunch and catch up on some business, and…read moresince we were both in the mood for a diner, we ended up at Uncle John's American Diner in Goodlettsville. The Vibe: We arrived a little after 2 p.m., knowing they closed at 3, so the team was already starting to wind things down and close off part of the dining room. The place looks and feels exactly like you'd expect from a classic diner, simple, casual, and comfortable. It was clean, which I always appreciate. The only small quirk was that our booth table sat a little off-center, so we had to do a quick adjustment, but no big deal. Service: Our server looked like he might've just started, honestly, he couldn't have been more than 12 (lol). You could tell he was new and nervous, but very polite and trying hard. When I ordered the breakfast croissant, he quickly said they were out, and another server jumped in to help clarify part of my friend's order. Despite the small hiccups, everything was handled kindly, and he was genuinely nice. Food & Drinks: I went with the Breakfast Burrito, and it was good -- nothing to write home about, but solid. The scrambled eggs were super fluffy, which stood out, and the salsa had good flavor. My friend ordered the Cowboy Eggs (two eggs over crispy tortillas with refried beans, cheese, and avocado). He felt the same -- decent, but standard. He also mentioned his coffee wasn't hot -- more "end-of-day warm," lol -- which fit the late-afternoon timing. On the drive back, he said something didn't sit quite right afterward, which was unusual for him. Overall: It was fine for what it was -- clean, friendly, and typical diner fare -- but nothing that would make me want to stop in again, even if I were close by. Date of Visit: November 2, 2025

Cook was in the back but another gentlemen took my order and started it. Fine. He then tried to cook it but screwed it up so the cook came back and had to throw it away and start over. Fine. He then starts cleaning again and is cussing every other word as he repeatedly burns his hand cleaning the griddle. Which is fine because we are all grown ups but it is not a good look to overtly cuss loudly as other customers, right or wrong, might get offended. Conservative town so kind of read your room type of stuff. Then the other cook came in replacing the current one and he looked like, and I say this with as much consternation as one can, he literally got kicked out of a moving vehicle. Which is fine too since who am I to state what is right for a person to look like so whatever. He then proceeds to loudly announce (redundant but I have to use it for emphasis) that he has great news because his car was fixed. Did I mention it was awkwardly loud? Like middle of a movie in theatre shouting loud. Anywho, there were a couple workers in there busting their tail so it was not all that bad but just a weird, awkward, and disconcerting experience. I miss my Spring Hill WH where Frank the Tank ran a ship-shape store.

We live in Michigan so this southern fare was SUCH a welcomed change!! We walked in to this spot and were immediately struck by how cute it is!

There isn't a lot of room in this area so standing there trying to read the menu for an extended time is difficult!

The kitchen brings out the order to your table when it's ready. Everything on the menu sounded so very good, it was hard to choose! Because I was using yelp to see what the menu items looked like I was able to spot a "secret menu item" as the staff member explained. I ended up order the "Nasty Princess". The princess sandwich, which is the Nashville hot chicken version, but add gravy and and egg! AMAZING! This was so, so good! I highly recommend! I also ordered a side of the fried potatoes, which were also very good but ended up being way too much food!! The biscuit sandwich was very large and incredibly filling!! :) We also ordered an egg plate with an upgrade to the chronic bacon - HIGHLY recommend the chronic bacon!! This was super delicious and very unique!! We LOVED the cheese grits on this plate as well as the biscuit with jam!! This is a good choice if you like a platter of different, separated items!

I don't think we've ever had a bad meal; however, in this small town of White House, TN, we were traveling through last week on vacation and decided to eat someplace close to the hotel. We were flabbergasted by a meal that was ordered by one of our traveling companions. She ordered the Friday special which was fried cod. When she received her meal, she looked at the fish and said right away that it wasn't cod, as we know it; it was catfish. The young server was relatively new and said "no, that's what our cod looks like". Our friend replied back, "this is unlike any cod I've ever had, it looks and tastes like catfish". The server offered to have the fish redone and at the same time she checked with the kitchen staff and they swore that this is what their cod looked like and described how their catfish looked like. The second batch of fish looked like the first - still not cod but didn't argue anymore about it. Photos 1 & 2 are what we believe to be catfish posing as cod; photo 3 is a properly fried cod, thanks to a fine restaurant in Hilton Head SC today. Light and fluffy, you don't see the back of the fish like you can with catfish. Maybe there was a mix up in shipping mismarked fish to CB or maybe the staff at this CB truly doesn't know the difference. It was disappointing. The other three meals were very good. The staff we dealt with were all very friendly. As a note; after returning home to Ocala FL, our companion dined at our local CB and she showed these photos of the CB "cod" to to a seasoned server and was told that was not cod, it was catfish and their cod here is battered, not coated in cornmeal as the photo appears to indicate. Our CB serves only cod on Fish Fridays.
