She and Carl have kept our family coming to Larry's four years. Cheap, filling breakfast and their chicken rice soup is amazing. Good old fashioned no-frills hearty eats. -- Connie V. Joliet, IL   |   A very unassuming place. Hard to believe that this place has been in Plainfield downtown for so long and I had never visited until 2021. A real hidden gem. Great service, great food and great atmosphere. There's also currently a Groupon available for this place that you might want to pick up if you'ree going. Really can't go wrong with this place. -- Asif R.   |   Yummy -- Vince   |   The staff is so nice. My 4 year old son and I come in once a week for a breakfast date.

I love thier chicken tenders with cottage fries, and the soup of the day. I eat there at least once a week. and it is delisious!!! The service is great also, theres a waitress name Debbie. She was a great waitress!! -- Shana R. Lockport, IL   |   I had a skillet with skirt steak and it was prepared nicely. The coffee was also fresh and delicious. We also had a very friendly server. He was an older gentleman who has worked there for a very long time. He should be commended on his outstanding service. -- Bob L. Joliet, IL   |   For consistent good service and good food, Larry's is tough to beat. Past critiques of outdated decor are silly. The entire place was recently renovated and is clean and comfy. Obviously this is not a 5 star restaurant, but they don't portend to be either. Instead they are your typical small town family diner. Sure there are a few duds on the menu, but most items are very good. The valley is very good as is the Monte cristo. My daughter loves the beefarella too. Simply put, its simple good food at low prices. -- Tom B. Plainfield, IL   |   Been going by Larry's Diner for years, like reading their sign marquis that they have Walleye & skillets. Ordered a couple of omelets, excellent quality, hash browns good, blueberry pancakes great. The waitress and owners really care. The bill was fantastic for what you got. Very friendly, great variety on all the menu's, this place is a hidden gem. -- Paul P. Chicago, IL   |   Larry's has always been a local greasy spoon restaurant in the Plainfield area. We used to go here for lunch occasionally. I recently had to be in the area for work but was severely jet lagged. Luckily, Larry's was open at 5:00 am and was ready to serve me breakfast. I had the skillet with a side of pancakes and coffee. The serving size was huge and I could finish half the skillet and a bit of the pancakes. They tasted great! The service was perfect as well. -- Jeff B. Glen Ellyn, IL   |   This is your stereo typical small town diner. You get a lot of food for your money. The skillets are very big too. Sometimes service is a little slow but the wait is worth it. Waitresses are friendly and the atmosphere is unique. -- Jim H. Westmont, IL   |   I come here about once a month for breakfast and I've never had an issue here. Service is good and food is good. -- Joel C. Plainfield, IL   |   Nice place, old style interiors. Food was good and delicious. -- Patty W. Hidalgo, IL   |   I've always felt that every town needs a good diner. A place to grab an affordable meal in an informal and friendly atmosphere. Larry's fits the bill. While it seems to cater to an older clientele, you get the sense that these are Plainfield residents who support their community. Worth a visit if a diner is what you're looking for! -- Rich F. Plainfield, IL   |   Larry's Diner has a great breakfast , you get a good amount of food for the price. The service is good, he always came around to see if everything was good. The atmosphere is great, clean place to eat. -- Vince L. Bolingbrook, IL   |   Our business group meets here every Tuesday. We chose to meet at Larry's because the food is great. And Carl is our regular waiter. Carl has been here for years and is both funny and quick to refill your coffee. We are back every week! -- Robert Plainfield, IL   |   The food is really good here. I was a fan of the Lone Star in Channahon and now the night cook is at Larry's! This will only make the restaurant better. Can't wait to go back. -- Crystal S. Joliet, IL   |   Classic diner food. Happy we tried this place. -- Mark R. Plainfield, IL   |   Love great local place plainfield STAPLE! Larry is amazing..good place to go for great food reliable service -- Courtney O. Plainfield, IL   |   The restaurant was clean and neat. I was seated immediately. I ordered a monte cristo, which is one of my favorites, with a beer.The food was good and the beer was cold. The waitress Christie, was attentive and made sure I knew about the specials.She made sure I had Water and noticed when my beer was about finished, asking me if I wanted another, which I did not. I did not have to wait for my check, or ask for anything.People were friendly and I left satisfied, knowing this was a place I would visit again. -- Ralph B. Joliet, IL   |   This diner has become a fan of the older crowd- a lot of things on the menu so that us older folk can choose what we can have that day! Just kidding! A good restaurant, noisy at times but I'd rather have noisy and busy than quiet and dead. Pretty much a type of restaurant you do not see much of these days, so they must be doing something right. No matter the mood, I am always greeted with a genuine smile(rare these days) and no matter the crowd, my food is served on time, hot and tasty. Don't go with high expectations of elaborate cuisine. Go with a hungry crowd, a bit of money, and leave with the leftovers for later. -- Lisa O. Naperville, IL   |   Best example of diner food -- Drew Z. Plainfield, IL   |   A BIG THANK YOU to Larry's Diner OF PLAINFIELD, IL for providing sandwiches for the volunteers of St. Mary Immaculate - Annual Garage Sale 6/13 thru 6/16. All of us really appreciated your thoughtfulness. -- Cathy B. Plainfield, IL
