“The chicken is the best in Kentucky. The green beans were country style and awesome. Then the mashed potatoes with bacon and pepper gravy was awesome also. I definitely recommend this place. Just had the chocolate pecan pie with bourbon sauce with butter pecan ice cream, that was the best I ever had.“

“SO DELICIOUS! Will definitely be back!“

“My husband and I had a great experience at Libby's. We ordered the sampler which was juat okay. Our biggest gripe with it was that the pork belly was overcooked and too chewey on the deviled eggs. The goetta balls fine in the sauce they were served with but, the fried green tomatoes stole the show. The sauce had a slight kick that paired so well with the fried tomato.
For the main course we had a Hot Brown and Shrimp with grits; both of which were rich in flavor and took oir taste buds to a new level.

Dessert included hot served bread pudding with apples and Honey Pie. The pudding we will be getting again soon. The Honey Pie was a new and interesting dish. If you're looking for pie that is custard-like , similar to pumpkin pie but with honey flavor, order this.

Service was friendly and available without being pushy. The atmosphere was relaxed. We'll undoubtedly be returning soon.“

“The food was delicious and amazing!!“

“I placed a curbside order on Saturday (Dec. 20) and like the handful or previous orders it was a very positive experiences . This review is motivated by two things that stood out most..one very positive, and one minor. The minor issue is the only reason I didn't give 5 stars..

First, the service as usual was excellent..My order was brought out to my car within seconds of arriving, and the woman who delivered it was friendly, smiling, and professional. Based on her attire and demeanor, I believe she was a manager. Seeing a manager personally bringing out curbside orders during a slower part of the nigh really speaks volumes about leadership and brand representation. Most guests rarely see managers unless there’s an issue, so this level of visibility and willingness to step in builds real customer trust. It sets the tone for the entire restaurant and shows pride in both the team and the guest experience. Most guests are local to this area, so restaurants are not only serving guests but serving the community they are part of...The food itself was great. I ordered the New Orleans Cajun Chicken Pasta, and it was cooked perfectly—the chicken was tender, the pasta flavorful, and the dinner rolls soft and fresh.

That said, I do want to share one small concer... While the pasta tasted great, it was served in what looked like a large soup-bowl-style to-go container. Visually, it resembled a side dish or small salad rather than a full dinner entrée. I understand portions are based on weight and not container size, and this may be more perception than reality but when paying around $20 for a pasta dish, it's rather disappointing to get something these size of a michelina meals..Having ordered this several times in the past it seems as if the portion was cut in half half.

Overall, this experience doesn’t change my positive view of O’Charley’s. The food quality and service were exactly what I expect, and I’ll continue to order here understanding now to as a result of increase in coss order two meals instead of one.. As well as excellent leadership and service that deserves to be noticed even when most people wouldn’t.“
