Larry's Drive In — Restaurant in East Wenatchee

Not what we remember from yesteryear. One star for tasty, hot fries with quality ranch dip and one star for service. Sadly the chicken was the worst we've ever had. Soggy, heavy flour taste, and no flavor. The worst part was the first piece of chicken I tried was like RUBBER. I could not even bite through it anywhere. I tried pulling it apart with my hands and that didn't work either. Another piece was better but once I got to finally taste it, it was flavorless except for the soggy flour taste. I'm sorry to have to write such an unfavorable review but it was awful. We are visiting family in Wenatchee and I would have taken it back or called but it was near their closing time and we had to move on. My husband eats nearly anything, and even he could only handle one of the three pieces before the flour taste took over. First time we've thrown away a meal, maybe ever. Perhaps it's that we caught them at their last half hour of the day, but we will not be back. 😞 Please be aware there are some food quality issues. We drove to the Avenue, not more than 5 minutes before stopping to eat it, and the chicken was horrible. Eating on site is probably a safer option so they can address any quality...

I'll cut to the chase. THIS PLACE WENT FROM BEING ONE OF THE BEST PLACES FOR FOOD TO A DOWNRIGHT AWFUL SHELL OF ITS FORMER SELF! Came by 11am to grab lunch for my mother and I by ordering 2 orders of the boneless white chicken, fries and one shake, ALL OF IT coming out to a whopping $50. The texture of the chicken was a painfully soggy feeling with no seasonings, you just bite into bland rubbery piece with no real cohesion nor quality, it took everything I had not to spit it out. The shake was way too malty and thick to be able finish let alone drink. Only good thing I can really say is that the fries were somewhat decent however even THOSE were very bland with no salt. It's definitely not the star quality place it was 15 years ago and by the other reviews others have posted, it seems we're all in agreement this place kinda just sucks nowadays. If I was the owner reading this, I would HEAVILY try to gain some common sense to consider revamping and reverting the quality back to normal or just simply close the place down for some other tasty drive in if they continue to go down this road of disproportion.

THIS AIN'T...

Came here with my family to get chicken. I saw they offered a military discount and I was really proud of that. We ordered food and chose to sit and eat it at Larry's. When the food came and the young lady asked for payment, I let her know that we are a military family and provided her with our veteran ID. She then informed us that we had to announce that we wanted our veterans discount at the time we ordered the food and she could no longer give us our discount... even though we had yet to pay. Wow. That really seems like false support for our military and first responders. They don't stop doing their jobs, why does the discount only apply at the time of order? I will never come back here. I will never encourage any family or friends to vote with their dollar here. I've never felt so ashamed, to ask for what has been earned, what they advertise...and to be turned away because I didn't mention we are a military family at the time we ordered our food. How many people pull in here and announce they are military or first responders straight away? This policy is very deceptive. So...
