    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.

    Nice little diner! Greeted and seated quickly, My French Toast was a huge order at a great price…read moreand was fluffy and custard-y! His eggs, sausage and pancakes were also spot on! Definitely a great diner!

    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

The whole bathroom was nasty. Subsequently, I walked out. My order had not been cooked yet, but I paid my money beforehand. I went to the cashier and asked her for a full refund because I said I am not comfortable with this food here looking at that bathroom. I've had problems with this place for a long time, they need to tear this whole thing down and start all over. I don't know who the owner is but this is unacceptable. in no way shape or form can a male cook that's and use that bathroom in good conscious and then go out there and cook peoples food.

The lobster rolls were pre made and reheated in the paper they were served in, you could tell because the bun was shriveled, dried up and the meat wasn't with a creamy sauce, it was dry! And the funnel fries were old as well and rolled in the powdered sugar numerous times, it was piled on. They had that weird powdered sugar taste. I had been craving this meal for weeks and this was such a let down! Tried to call the store but they never answered the phone... Go figure! The location on Dickerson Pike was just as bad the last time I was there, that's why I chose a different location. Never going back... EVER!!! Done with Captain D's!
