I prefer local ma & pa type restaurants over overpriced and unsatisfying chain joints. Love the food and the service and most importantly and prices. …

Worst employees and manager/owner. Very rude to customer. Tried calling in. The sauce is nasty. Seasoning is dull. 0 out of 10.
Ole Mphs girl. Had the best meal I’ve had in any restaurant I’ve been to in a long time. Had the rib eye. Cooked to perfection!! There was 6 of us all had different entries. From turkey ribs, pork chicken fried steak, filet, catfish. Everything was delicious. The sides were also yummy. Can’t wait to come back. Recommended Triple D to give you a visit!!!!
Rude people. Good food but the people are very rude. They put your money on the counter as if you’re dirty. I won’t ever eat there again. Seems prejudice.
Heated up frozen and canned food.. My GF and I like to try local places that we havent been to before, so we went to Fat Larrys We had a coupon from the fundraiser book for a free platter with the purchase of another platter of equal or greater value. The coupon, though, stated that there was an automatic 18% gratuity applied. We had to park in the back of the restaurant, which isnt bad other than the poor lighting back there was we were leaving and the sun had set. We were not impressed that there was not a host stand but rather a Seat Yourself sign. We dont like those because the servers tend to not notice/acknowledge you walking in. The first thing I noticed as I sat down was the Memphis In May trophies, three of them, in the corner of the room. Since nobody was sitting near them, I wondered over to take a look: First Place in 1999, Second in 2003, and Third in 2005. One of the servers was kind enough to point out the Grand Champion Trophy on another wall, also from 1999. Eyebrow raised, each trophy placing progressively lower and hadnt placed in nine years… I showed the coupon to the server, who was pleasant, as youd expect a server to be. However, once we ordered the first platter, a brisket platter, she informed us that we could get the brisket with the coupon, but the second one couldnt be a brisket, also. Wouldnt the same item be of equal or greater value? Regardless, I she could have kept that info to herself, because I was planning on ordering the pork platter next, anyway. They did allow me to substitute my slaw for fries and my GFs beans for fried okra, and allowed us each to get a burger bun at no charge to make sandwiches from our platters.Rather quickly, our food arrived. Then again, why should it take long when it was all pre-made. The pork and brisket each had a different barbecue sauce on them and the brisket sauce was fair, but the porks sauce was not very good. I would have preferred the other. A year of watching Robert Irvine and many other Food Network personalities critique food has ruined me. Last year, I probably would have been pleased with my meal. However, the pork didnt taste smokey at all, had no kind of seasoning, and grease dripping off of it, from the sandwich to the plate. The brisket was dry and tasted like an overcooked slice of sirloin. The fries were frozen crinkle-cut fries you can get ay any supermarket, though they did sprinkle some kind of seasoning on them. The slaw on my GFs platter was from a bucket. The okra was as the fries were, some frozen breaded okra. But, the beans were the biggest disappointment of them all. Beans arent that difficult. But these were taken straight out of their generic pork-n-beans can, with some of their tasteless pork thrown in. I could picture Robert turning the bowl over on the table with a disgusted look on his face. When the initial check arrived, it showed the itemized bill with the total. However, when the final check arrived, there was simply the price which included the gratuity, with no itemization. There was a place to sign and add yet another tip, which Im sure, fools enough people to make it worth keeping it there. Fat Larry, we can get heated up frozen and canned food from any of chain restaurants in the Wolfchase area. You arent helping the eat local cause if your idea of local was shipped in from some warehouse or bought from Sams. Thank you for honoring our coupon, but we wont be back.
Charged more on card than thought. Went to Fat Larry’s and my bill was $19.61. I put a $6 tip so the total charge to my card should have been $25.61. My statement showed $35.61, who would put a $16 tip on a $19 bill. The service was good, but not that good.Don’t think I will go there again and I will tell people to pay cash instead of credit since they seem to add extra on the bill.
Sooooo Smokey!!!. I have to say that this bbq is so smokey and flavorful. It is just amazing how much smokey goodness is in this meat. The onion rings are fantastic and the fried green beans are amazingly good too! We love the food here!
Consistency seems to evade Larry’s. Had the catfish on Friday a few weeks ago and was great , yesterday terrible. Sometimes barbecue great , sometimes taste like warmed over. Service always great
