The Larry

We went to this restaurant because of the high rating on Yelp. We were planning on having the breakfast and the poke specialty. We were distressed to be told that they stopped serving food that week. We stated they needed to post that on Yelp that they were only a coffee bar now.I was veryannoyed as an out of town visitor

This is my favorite spot to settle in for lunch and hunker down to work out of office. After ordering up at the register, I take a seat at one of the tables to set up my laptop. There's music that plays over the speakers that's not distracting (unless you need to take a phone call) and the servers leave you to your own devices after dropping off my lunch and doing a cursory check-in for refills. It's wonderful. Prices are reasonable for the area and plus you don't have to pay for parking. My go-tos are the Larry Smashburger, Ahi Poke Bowl, and the breakfast burrito. Keep an eye on the time because they stop taking orders by 2pm and then they start prepping the restaurant area for a switch over to Kaizen (check out their happy hour).

The food is fresh and made to order with some otra de options for people who might be rushing. The service is great very attentive and funny. The ambiance is like no other super cool industrial look with so much open space.

First time coming to the Larry for a lunch meeting and WOW was I impressed. Such a fun work/lunch atmosphere...but don't miss out on ordering from the Larry. We ordered the Chicken Pita, Fries, aioli, and beet salad. So good and fresh tasting. We will definitely be coming back to try the sushi on the menu!

The Larry is a casual restaurant located just past downtown Phoenix in the warehouse district in a warehouse. They are only open during the week and are closed on weekends. They offer breakfast, sandwiches, pizza, salads, sides and more. They have a small bar and offer cocktails, wine and beer. They also have a dog friendly patio and the inside is very spacious and airy. It's very casual. You order at the counter, pay, grab your name tent and seat yourself.We shared two platters.One was a KFC. A Korean (inspired) fried chicken sandwich with upgraded hash brown fries ($12.00 + $3.50). It was ok and nothing special. It lacked flavor and crunch that real Korean Chicken has. The chicken also wasn't particularly moist or flavorful. It had potential to be great because they made their own bun and it seemed like they made the pickles too but in the end it didn't taste much different then fast food. Our hash brown fries DID TASTE DELICIOUS! The batch we had seemed over mixed because they were gluey like over whipped potatoes but did have a delicious potato taste.We also shared the inside outside grilled cheese with upgraded bang bang broccoli ($8.00 + $3.50). The sandwich was very greasy, didn't have a melty cheese center and didn't have any good cheese taste. This was not good to me. But I really ENJOYED the bang bang broccoli. It was amazing. It was light. It had this perfect meaty texture. It didn't even seem fried. It was DELICIOUS with bonito flakes and Asian seasoning. The people working there were all especially nice. The person that took our order was kind and helpful. The young man that brought us silverware checked on us and also was helpful and friendly. Parking was close and easy because they have reserved signs for dining at The Larry.

Every time I stop by the Galavanize Phoenix office, I make sure to grab some coffee from the Larry. We ordered:- Caramel Latte- Nitro Cold BrewThe servers are super nice, and their lattes are very creamy! Not to mention, the caffeine punch you get after drinking them is much needed for an early morning I always order half the sweetness, and they're always more than happy to accommodate. If you're in the mood for a cookie, they also bake them fresh at the cafe! They're crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside

This place has great promise when we pulled into the parking lot downtown district. It looks as if an old warehouse has been renovated and the menu online looked promising. When we first walked in, there is a nice coffee shop to the right and also if funky little bar. Then straight to the back is an outdoor deck patio which was nice.I ordered a Thai salad and my partner had a market salad. Both were lacking in ingredients and flavors. My Thai salad came with lots of papaya that was way too vinegar forward. It had about a tablespoon of peanuts, a torn Thai basil leaf, four orange 1/2 segments and a few chili slices. For the money it was pretty simple and not satisfying at all. I've had many papaya salad but this one wasn't quite the flavor I was expecting. My partners salad was supposed to have acorn squash and cauliflower two ways. There were two tiny slivers of acorn squash and a few cauliflower flowerettes that were raw and a few roasted ones. It was dressed with Gorgonzola cheese. Both salads or just lackluster. We finished with coffees that were decent enough and on the house due to checking in with Yelp.

The food is awesome and close to my work. I sat outside and I had a club sandwich and fries. The atmosphere is also relaxing. The service was also excellent. I would go there again. Since it's winter I would like to see their new u to see if they have a variety of soups.

The Larry lives up to its great reviews! Great modern, industrial chic, open-air space with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating!We tried a pizza with sausage and mushroom on it. I don't recall seeing too many toppings listed on the menu, so if there is a topping that you want that is not on the menu, then just ask the server or bartender if they have it - you may be pleasantly surprised! The pizza was filling and delicious... and quite large! Definitely recommended!The Larry burger was packed with flavor and was big enough to share! Be sure to check out their HH prices... they have great deals!*****FIVE STARS*****

This place is my new fav hot spot in central phx! Very spacious and open feel with a cool chill vibe; yet there is an air of sophistication as well. Best of both worlds!! Can't beat that!They have an adequate menu--not overwhelming. At first glance, you'd think that sausage was nonexistent here, because it's not a menu item, but thanks to my yelp elite bf who knew to ask for special treatment, we got nothing less than sausage on our mushroom pizza, dang it! And boy were we super ecstatic with our delectable pizza from our very first bite to our very last bite!The other dish we tried was the Larry burger with a side of the bang bang broccoli. Now, I'm not a fan of burgers, but I certainly am now!!! The Larry burger wasn't stacked with loads of toppings and fixins. It's actually a very simple burger, but packed with boatloads of flavor!!! Simply irresistible!!! Needless to say, the broccoli was definitely bangin' as well!!! I almost forgot to mention the cocktails! The bartender at this place must've graduated top of his mixology class, 'cuz the pisco punch and the old fashioned that he made for us was outstanding!! I will definitely be coming back here again and again and again and again....u get the drift...'nuff said...
