Worst experience ever. From the waitress to the overall experience. Ordered a skillet NO ONION, and my husband ordered a Denver omelet. Took 30 minutes and had to ask a different waitress because ours didn’t even return to check on us. When we finally got our food I had onions in mine. Asked for a manager because I was not waiting for it to be remade and I was not even happy with our waitresses terrible customer service abs asked for the check. They took only 5.00 off because the waitress said I didn’t say it. Well if she did her job correctly and paid attention to my order I said it. I can’t eat onions due to digestion so I’m pretty well aware not to eat them. And request them to be removed from food I order. I will never eat here again or ever recommend this place. I get places are short staffed and trying to do their best right now and I’m always super happy to over tip and eat out at small owned places for this matter. Not here. Never again.

Larrys has been a staple in Plainfield for 30 years. The staff is great and they are long time employees. Larrys is a place where everyone feels welcome when they dine here. Gus is a very gracious host. They give back to the community and have been giving back for years. With service and hospitality like this they will be here another 30 years. The food is good too and the menu has something for everyone.

I ate here a few times about 15 years ago and it was good. Moved away and returned to the area last year. I went back twice now in the last 4 months. Both times, waitresses were friendly. The first time it was Sunday morning for breakfast. It was crowded and they were understaffed but we were understanding. I got a skillet and it wasnt very good. Recently decided to try again for lunch on a weekday. There were like 3 other tables occupied in the whole restaurant, so not crowded at all. Ordered a BLT on crossaint, came with fries and soup. My husband got breakfast. It wasnt very good. The crossaint was more like a bun than a flaky crossaint.I hate to criticize price because prices have gone up everywhere and I know I can eat at home for cheaper. I also know the issues that have come with Covid but if we are going to pay $13 to $15 a meal, I expect it to at least be good.I do appreciate a good diner but this place needs more than a good scrub down. I think it needs a renovation. It just feels grimey in there. Again, I know thats costly to do, but they need it! But sadly being a long established business in a community just wont cut it for much longer, if you dont have at the very least, good food.

Average but overcooked eggs, the fruit was fine and bacon was ok. The service and staff were nice and friendly. The air conditioning was not operating the day we dined there so it wasnt a spot to stay very long.

I was in Plainfield looking for a restaurant to eat at and I seen this little restaurant called Larry’s diner I was hoping to go in there to get nice food. I went with my mother and she got an omelet, she said hers was good and I was still waiting for mine, I ordered a waffle with fruit they brought it out and it looked SO GOOD so I took a bite of a strawberry and they were rotten and so was the other fruit! My waiter did take it back and said sorry and got me a plain waffle but the receipt still made me pay for the rotten waffle! The food is also fairly expensive but that’s okay. I do not recommend going here but I’m giving it a 3 stars because the waiters are very nice.

Waited almost two hours for our food. The waitress was bragging how her daughter came to work with her to help, but to be honest they both sucked. They both literally ignored is the whole time. Every other table they has(which was like 5) got thoer food before is and the waitresses never even really came by to refill drinks, or check on us. HORRIBLE!!!!

The food was really great. The Waitresses was older which basically means the service was professionally done. They were very amiable. Will go there again

First time i was here i had a lovely experience, second time here today, it was terrible. The waitress rolled her eyes and sighed when we asked for more water, and it took us 30 minutes to get asked what we want to drink. The food was fine, just upsetting service...

Good food, amazing service, wasnt the cleanest though. A lot of the utensils and plates seemed old. Interior was a bit dark also, they should open more of the blinds. The prices seemed a tad high as well for the quality of the food.

We just finished lunch at Larry’s Diner in Plainfield. The food was great. Large portions, great staff, owner greets you when you walk in the door. The prices were incredible. During these Covid times, you feel very safe eating at the diner.

Review №58

I can not describe how dreadful this restaurant is!!! The eggs were as soggy as wet cardboard, and tasted awful. The steak as-well looked like dog poo, and it was as dry as dead skin, not to mention the sauce was unexplainably rotten as-well. Also my coffee tasted like it was sitting out at a hospital for 15 hours. That smell in their reeked of pure sulfur and the walls looked like there was mold everywhere! The place all around looked like I was in an old run down ghost town! Not to mention those nasty floors looked like they havent been cleaned in months!!!

This restaurant holds a special place in my heart that they have been able to capture ever since I first came here as a child back in the late 1990s. Almost every Saturday my father and I would come to Larrys for breakfast and head over to the Ace Hardware afterwards next-door. The food has always been a good value and the service always friendly. I enjoy coming here whenever I am back in Plainfield when I am looking for a familiar and cozy atmosphere. I am happy that Larrys is still doing well and look forward to my next visit!

Delicious food and no wait! Most of our visits have been for breakfast or lunch and our servers have been great for the most part. My husband LOVES their country fried steak and eggs and their cream of chicken soup is delicious. I always either get eggs, bacon and pancakes or their hot Turkey sandwich. Definitely a must to go here!

Home town diner feel, great portion sizes and friendly staff. Many options for food choices. Ambience could be updated a bit, but may be some of the draw while escaping chain restaurants. We left full, and happy.

Review №78

Actually the food was good and the waitress that greeted me was great. It was the check out that was nasty. The gentleman that checked me out. I got the feeling that he didnt like POC. I ordered a carry out because basically I just wanted a good cup of coffee. The waitress happily took my order and their brought me out a hot fresh cup of coffee. She was really a sweet older lady and I was impressed with her service and kindness. Upon checking out the older man took credit card ran it through and he never said how much. He then threw my card on the counter. He did the same thing with the receipt. After I signed it he took it out my hand and walked off. He didnt say one word to me. So I give two stars. If not for the waitress, I wouldnt give any. I have stop back in and tip the waitress as the guy just walked off before I could say anything. I believe he may have been the owner and that makes it much worst.

I stopped here today for a quick breakfast. They use fresh spinach and fresh mushrooms in their omelettes and skillets, which was delicious (and hardly any breakfast place does that!) And I got to choose French toast or pancakes as my toast option! French toast was great. Definitely recommend.

Talk about a quaint little place just like what my grandparents used to take me to for some good food. The cream of chicken and rice soup is so good. The burger and gyros are great. Had a little pie and ice cream to top it all off! Nice quiet evening! Staff was great, friendly and funny. Definitely want to come here more and try more on the menu!

Ive passed this place a million times and finally stopped in with my family. I was disappointed in the food and service. Ordered a super super meal and didnt get a salad or dessert. The bread rolls in bags was also a bit strange. Perhaps we just went on a bad night, but we wont be returning.

Review №99

Not impressed with food or service. Made me feel less important than regulars. Waitress barely looked my way but table next to me waited hand and foot on regulars. Guess they don’t believe in bringing in repeat customers. As far as food goes I paid 10 dollars for a portion of pork chop that I would feed a small child and when i finally got waitress attention she said it was boneless. I asked Greek gentleman at cash register if I should pay half price based on half pork chop and he all he said was “ it boneless “, so much for customer service skills. I would not recommend this place. In contrast o went to matty s grill on 59 and got great service and 2 pork chops. Guess Larry’s is happy with its old clients and not looking to build new relationships. So be it
