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.

The hushpuppies, okra, "slap em" sauce, and tarter sauce were also all 10/10. The slaw was very good but I prefer mine a tad sweeter... but slaw is just one of those "preference" things. Definitely wont hold it against them because it was still plenty edible.
Very great portion sizes! I could have made it two meals… if I could have only stopped eating it. Haha.
My only regrets are not ordering the fried green tomatoes as well and not trying this...
