Me and my family of 5 decided to eat here for dinner on 6/22/25 at 5pm.The food was very good and our waiter was very nice and attentive, and also gave us a free desert on the house. Unfortunately we never caught his name but he was very good, so was the food and the pricing.
My boyfriend and I went to Libby’s last night for the first time, and were highly impressed! We ordered a Texas Paloma, Dr Pepper Ribs, Orange Chicken, Jalapeño Mac and Cheese. Wow, we would defintely recommend the Ribs and Orange chicken for a tasty and filling meal. Our server Carlos was knowledgeable and smiley and lovely. He hooked us up with a ridiculously delicious slice of key lime pie cheesecake for our first time dining at the restaurant. Well done Libby’s
Went to this gem of a restaurant, by our home, and it was an incredible experience. Dalia, our waitress, complimented our celebration, as she was very friendly and hospitable. As far as the food, it was absolutely delicious. By far, one of the best places to dine in Lakewood Ranch. We can’t wait to come back!
The food was all really good and the service was even better! Our server, Carlos, was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive.
Great place! We had the meatballs, brussels sprouts, and kale Caesar salad. Everything tasted great and service was fantastic.
Food was great, service was excellent
From the moment we walked into Libby’s Neighborhood Brasserie, we felt genuinely welcomed. We were warmly greeted right away, and our waiter, Carson, was incredibly attentive and friendly. After learning it was our first time dining here, he offered excellent recommendations that did not disappoint.
A nice touch was when Alejandro, the manager, stopped by our table a couple of times to check in. When he found out we were new to the area, he took the time to personally welcome us, which made the experience even more memorable.
The entire staff was attentive without being overbearing, the portion sizes were generous, and every dish we tried was full of flavor. We’re already looking forward to coming back. A great neighborhood spot with both hospitality and quality that stand out.
Absolutely delicious. We came with a group and everyone loved the food. Definitely going back.
We Made reservations.
We love Carlos at Libby’s! He’s one of the best!
My wife and I are fans of Libby's and view it as something of our "go to" restaurant. We always find the food to be excellent, the servers very friendly as well as efficient, the ambiance welcoming, and the overall value worth revisiting.

After waiting an hour for our food, server notified us he forgot to put in our order and forgot what we wanted. Reluctantly agreeing to order a second time we were assured our food would be out very fast. Twenty minutes later we finally received our meal. Manager came over and apologized for their mistake and said he would work something out on our bill. After receiving the check, we realized the not-so-generous manager “worked out” removing our two iced teas. I'm sorry, but waiting an hour and a half for our food when the restaurant wasn't even busy is unacceptable and comp'ing $5 worth of iced tea is a slap in the face. Leadership comes from the top down. What this manager did was anger two repeat customers who will not return. Due to our experience we felt it was inappropriate to tip for our disappointing experience, but in turn the server too was ripped off when all the manager had to do was comp our pretzel appetizer or discount or meals. This would have cost him and Libby's nothing, satisfied us and earned a tip for his server. Fortunately, there are plenty of other options in the Lakewood Ranch area to eat. As they say, you can't find good help these days.
Friendly staff. We had the meatball appetizer, which was delicious. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich and my husband had the Santa Fe salad with blackened chicken. He told me 3 times how fabulous it was, so I think he's found a new favorite here. We'll be back.
Frequently go to Libby's in Lakewood Ranch. Food is always consistently good and broad enough menu everyone can find what they like. Service has always been good for us. Excellent location in corner of University and Lorraine and never a parking issue. Think the biggest plus is the menu has different food types that can accommodate the salad to meat lovers.
Restaurant was very warm and muggy. Made for unfortunately an uncomfortable meal. Food: Fish and chips were odd. Basically a few nuggets. Not a nice piece of white fish. The “chips” are ultra thin fries. Not bad just not a true thicker cut chip. Friends got: Burger looked very good Sirloin looked very good Definitely would go back in cooler weather or if AC gets fixed. Service was ok.
The restaurant are have flies - really annoying. Food is not good, just OK and overpriced for the quality. Libby's in Sarasota is a better choice. Service was good
