    Shrimp Plate
    Shelby B.

    10/10 experience. A warm family restaurant with freshly fried food to order. Ate every bite!

    Cajun perch, Mac and cheese, hush puppies and Cole slaw

    Great food and super friendly service. We tried the cajun style perch and lemon pepper catfish, with a side of coleslaw, hush puppies, Mac and cheese and beans. My dad who lovesss catfish said it was the best he's ever had, which is saying a lot!

    Perch 3 piece fish plate!

    So I recently got a order of food from here. My sister was visiting coming this way from Nashville to so this place is on the way. For the longest my sister said that I should be doing videos about my foodie adventures because I've been doing this for awhile. I started on TripAdvisor and Google platforms also. I saw this place on line a video of the back story of how they got started and I definitely needed to try this delicious looking food! I got myself a 3 piece Perch plate for me and mom. I got my sister s 3 piece whiting fish plate and I got a 10 PC whiting fish only plate. The fish is fried to a crisp and crunchy with hot sauce and tartar sauce on the side. The sauce is boss. One thing about whiting bones will be there more than Perch no bones but whiting is different. The Perch is delicious and crispy how the original Bankhead Seafood used to be. I can't speak on the renovation building because I have not visited. The whiting fish is delicious also and the pieces are big not small at all. I took a picture of my Perch fish plate I put the whiting fish plate in the fridge at the time. I ate from here on 9/11/2025. If you are ever in the area pull up and support them! Man if they had a location down here in the area it would be game over for some places ha lol.

    Fried Catfish Plate

    Visited the South for the first time and heard great things about this catfish restaurant! I got the fried catfish and my friend got the fried tilapia. The catfish was so soft and buttery!! It is definitely a softer fish than the tilapia. The breading is a little too salty for me but I think that's also a personal preference. I got my fried catfish with a side of fried okra and turnip greens. Fried okra was delicious but the greens were also a little bit salty for my taste. I'd get the baked beans next time. The restaurant has more of a hole-in-the-wall vibes and is causally run. Service was fast and staff were attentive and helpful.

    Catfish sandwich! Oops, bite missing!

    My goodness! What an absolute gem this restaurant is in the city of Chattanooga I enjoyed a catfish sandwich and coleslaw, with a side of greens. The best fried catfish I've had in the city!! The sweet lady and young man that served us were very friendly and had great sense of humor, both of them! The lemonade was delicious. The restaurant is old school, I felt like I was on my great grandmother's porch on a Sunday We can't hardly wait for our next visit!!!

    I simply cannot recommend Uncle Larry's more to anyone, by far the best catfish I've ever had. Such a family run small place shelling out some of the best seafood east of the Mississippi. The catfish filets were breaded and Cajun seasoned, the best! I also loved the white bread it came with, simply was a little different than normal white bread unless I'm brainwashed by how good the catfish was. I ended up making a sandwich with the bread and adding a slaw. My wife for a simple meal of chicken tenders, I had her baked beans and she had potato salad which she enjoyed. Service was fast and friendly, couldn't have been any nicer. I hope to be in Chattanooga again one day to have some more of Larry's catfish.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my first time visit to Uncle Larry's Fish!!! Food is cooked to order so don't go in being hasty! Signs posted set the proper expectation for all orders. This isn't a huge place but you can dine in comfortably. I placed a to go order to take back to my room. I ordered the 2 piece small whitening plate (Cajun). The plate came with two sides, which I went with white beans and fried okra. I opted for hush puppies instead of white bread. I didn't request fried hard on the fish nor the fried okra, like I normally do. It was a test & they passed!! Everything was so delicious, perfectly fried and well seasoned!! The customer service was personable and the inside of the restaurant has a very inviting vibe.....Felt like the inside of a loving home. I will definitely be back here whenever I'm in Chatt! My only regret was not ordering more food!

    Arrived early so I was the 2nd person. Food was delicious and perfect for my journey back to Georgia. Uncle Larry greeted me and brought me more tea. Always kind and a gentleman. Such a God-fearing man.

    Catfish, Mac and cheese.

    I couldn't be more happy that we stumbled upon this place. I spent the rest of my trip trying to get back here. The catfish is something I dream about. I liked the lemon pepper the best, and it was still a little spicy. The okra divine. The mac and cheese was like my momma makes. The person working that night was kind, helpful, and funny.

    Catfish plate! One spicy.
    Alexander B.

    Very friendly service. Spicy and regular tartar sauce. Hip working class food. Possibly the best fish and chips. Onion rings are so so. All other sides are excellent.

    My dinner. Consumed.  Yall this place is INSANELY GOOD.
    Jordan F.

    This place is insane yall. It's so good. Come here today. My family is from out of town and we like good food. This place delivers the seasoned catfish. The beans. The okra. What the hell they season those beans with?? I need the recipe! We can't stop eating. It's so good

    Great fish, fried or steamed! So glad they arrr close.  I shall be a regular!

I had The Motherclucker - Springer Mountain Farms Southern Fried Chicken, Spiced Pickles, Hot Sauce, Duke's Mayo, Niedlov's Bun. Hunter recommended adding Pepper Jack cheese and Bacon, as well as the Brussels Sprouts with Maple & Bacon. Everything was wonderful. There were way too many Brussels sprouts. It also would have been nice if they were cut into smaller pieces. They had a special dessert of Blackberry Cobbler with Vanilla Ice Cream. This brought back childhood memories of my grandmother's cobblers. My husband had the Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream.

Each oyster has a beautiful deep shell filled with clean, briny liquor that captures the true taste of the ocean. The flavor is perfectly balanced with a crisp saltiness followed by a smooth, slightly sweet finish that makes you want another one immediately.

The server was nice and set our expectations, advising that some of the items we ordered were more of an acquired taste, but we were still disappointed. There was a server change at one point, and the new server was not careful when delivering the food and spilled the gumbo upon arrival. Considering the price and value, this place is definitely a one and done.
