Definitely the worst full rack of bbq ribs! So Burnt it was hard black! Also a really bad Bloody Mary with a piece of celery I wouldn’t put in my drink! Definitely the worst $50 I’ve spent on meal in this area!

Very welcoming restaurant with a broad variety of options. The meatball appetizer was delicious. Some of the best kid's meals we've ever ordered. Their entire staff was pleasant during our visit, and our server from Ohio was amazing.Kid-friendliness: Amazing kid's meals

We’ve been here a few times and each time the food was pretty good. I had the burger this time and it was incredibly underwhelming and barely warm. The balsamic vinaigrette on my side salad was oddly sweet and didn’t taste good at all. We also witnessed two steaks being sent back. My wife’s caccio pepe was adequate.As a side note for those with gluten allergies, they are very unaccommodating and the menu doesn’t have many GF options. There are no appetizers that are GF.

As a repeat guest at this restaurant, I experienced an unfortunate safety event there yesterday and I will not be returning. I ordered a salad and toward the end of the meal I found a piece of steel in my meal that I almost swallowed. If it were not for me choking on the piece of steel, I would not have caught it before swallowing and potentially damaging my throat or worse. Yes, the server and manager apologized and yes, they comp'ed "my" salad (to be expected) but it seemed that it was an event that was just "part of doing business" and not something that could have been potentially detrimental to my safety and health. When I go to dinner i expect the establishment to take measures to ensure that all of their guests wellbeing is at the forefront and safety precautions are taken, e.g., safe handling, keep and cooked at the right temperature, and NO FOREIGN OBJECTS - that's used to clean the grill - is in the food.

March 19, 2024 5pm, Rock Shrimp & Blue Crab Lollipops starter tasted good but made me feel terrible a few hours later. I have dined here many times and everything is usually good.

I want to be a fan of a local restaurant. Libbys is considered "fine dining" but the presentation isn't there. The wine glasses are all the same cheap stemware. If I'm the bar manager I demand that changes. The shrimp and scallops were ok. For $40 it should be outstanding for 2 shrimp and 3 scallops. The happy hour cocktail menu is subpar. They need to step their game up.

We really loved Libbys! Beautilful interior, stellar service, and the best appetizers! Our waitress was amazing.. really friendly and personable, attentive, and she comp'd us a dessert for having to wait longer than our reservation time. The appetizer game was strong! We loved the pub pretzels, the meatballs and the tuna tataki. I wish we ordered more of them honestly! Their happy hour looks amazing if you're hoping for some app deals. The rotisserie chicken carbonara lacked a little bit of flavor, but the spaghetti and meatballs and the burger were great! If you love a rich flourless chocolate cake that's easily sharable for 2, we really enjoyed it! I'd definitely return to Libbys!
