My eggs Benedict were not cooked. It was almost like eating raw eggs. I would have sent them back to the kitchen, but our waitress was nowhere to be found.
We've been going to Libby's for about two years and have never been disappointed.
We had our weekly dinner here Thursday night. Mitch did an outstanding job as our server. It was so nice to see Ericka as she came by to see us. The entire staff is just wonderful! Every dish we had was great! HH cocktails are amazing! We love Libby's.
Carbonara had too much bacon and therefore smoke overwhelmed the flavor. Also much of the bacon was underdone so was just pieces of raw fat. Crispy panchetta would be a better choice.
Great menu for value. Had the half rack of ribs. Fell off the bone and were delicious. My wife had the salmon. Always perfect.
Typically this is one of our ‘go to' places ; however, this visit left us with a mediocre experience. Started out good w an on time reservation and attentive server where we received our drinks and ordered in a timely manner. Once our food arrived our server disappeared for the duration of our visit. We were never asked if everything was ok (one of our salads came w no dressing), if we'd like to order a second drink (which two of our party would have done), and our bill took a very long time to be presented to us. All in all a good but not great dinner out.
Great find! Just outside the downtown with easy parking. Sat on the patio. I had salmon and husband had the Thai noodles. Both scrumptious. We did happy hour cocktails and were treated to a complimentary dessert as first timers. The Key Lime Pie OMG! Best I've ever had. We'll be back!!
Celebrated our wedding anniversary at Libby’s and this was the first time for my wife. We found the LWR location to be convenient, great atmosphere, with a broad menu! Portions were bordering on excessive! But we powered through some absolutely delicious food! The staff ensured we were well taken care! Carlos especially was outstanding and made sure we had a memorable and tasty anniversary dinner! She ordered the orange chicken I had the brisket burger with truffle fries You can be sure We’ll be back! Soon!! Thank you Libby’s and staff for a great evening!
The restaurant was a little warm and the staff kept leaving the sliding glass door to the patio open. Unfortunately, I was sitting close to that door.  The grilled chicken on my Caesar salad was dry and my croutons were soggy. Our waiter was very nice and did a good job, but came up missing quite frequently. He stated early on that they had seated several tables at the same time for him.
I came here for the first time tonight and was so blown away with the food and service! My husband and I came for a late dinner after a long day at work thinking it would be a basic American food restaurant but it was a lot more than that! The restaurant is beautiful (full of twinkle lights outside and great mood lighting inside) and is puppy friendly— the vibe is really awesome too. The food was so delicious, from the appetizers to dessert. Matthew was our waiter and he was the absolute best making our experience even more elevated! We will definitely be coming back— highly recommend coming here.
P.s. get the key lime pie! ?

My wife and I have been to this location quite a few times. I was surprised to see that I had yet to write a review. Unluckily for this location, the review is not as high as it would have been had I written one after our first or second visit. The food quality and taste has continually gone down in the time since we first tried Libby's. This last visit we both were very disappointed in the lack of flavor our steaks had. Coupling the steak that had little flavor was a runny mashed potato portion. The only saving grace for me is I love their jasmine rice, and their pretzel bites are a nice appetizer. If you want beer, also keep in mind Libby's has some of the highest beer prices in the area. Will we be back? Probably. But only because the atmosphere and vibe is enough to warrant another visit.
