We had brunch there on a Sunday. Everyone in our party of 4 had a different dish and they were all incredible! We will definitely be back.
Our group was fairly underwhelmed by our experience at Libby's. Aside from the service, which was somewhere between “not good” and mediocre, the food wasn't worth the hype. Leading with the good, the crab cakes and the biscuits were incredible! The remainder of the meal was pretty unremarkable. The fried green tomatoes were bland, the deviled eggs were rubbery, the Charlie Brown was like eating salty leather (even the bread was tough to get through), the fried chicken was fair, and the grits were overcooked and over-seasoned. I was so excited to try the restaurant, but I'm afraid I won't be going back any time soon.
Service was lackluster- server was standing near our table but did not come over for almost 10 minutes. A bag pf candy being eaten by serving staff was sitting out and open. I ordered a salad which was over dressed and soggy. Fried chicken and green beans ordered by others were good. Black eyed peas needed more flavor.
We had a fabulous brunch!! The eggs Benedict was unbelievable. I had the traditional and my daughter had the special. Both incredible. My MiL had fried chicken & waffles...wow. THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN IN TOWN!!!! Great service with Abby. Definitely going back!
My first time at Libby's was Sunday for brunch and it was delcious! I had their “Libby's” eggs Benedict with avocado, a perfectly breaded and cooked fried green tomato, and nice runny egg yolks. Hollandaise was really good too. They have a great space, a patio and parking too
We had a great time in this wonderful space! Very down to earth atmosphere with exceptional fried chicken!
Amazing food. Oysters were exceptional. Atmosphere was a little meh but the food was spectacular. Chicken was cooked to perfection, greens were outstanding and Mac ‘n cheese wa a gooey and good. Drinks were delish. The finale was an oatmeal pie. A++ Good service.
I always get the shrimp and grits!!! Amazing. We tried the oatmeal cream pie for the first time and it was out of this world!😍😍😍
Three out of our party got the salmon and all three said it was awesome! I had the Alfredo with grilled chicken and it was very good. The service and atmosphere were amazing!
The service was terrific! The fried green tomatoes were yummy! The crap cakes were delicious! My husband had the fried chicken. He loved it although the pieces were really small. He also highly recommended the fries!! The best part was the biscuit!! Not sure what was in it but wow!!!!

It seems like they changed their recipes. Not as good as it used to be. Plus not a good value for the money. We used to go there regularly but not anymore.
Overall good night service was good, food was good. We sat outside on the patio with party of 7. No problems throughout the evening
It was okay. Service was very slow. My husband loved the maple glazed chicken thighs. My fried chicken was average. Macaroni and cheese was bland, and the Cole slaw wasn't good either. The server raved about the pies so we got a couple slices to go, and that was a disappointment too. The place was busy, so a lot of people must like it, but it was a one and done for me.
Have been coming here since they opened and was very disappointed with how slow service was. Food was great as always but we sat there for almost two hours and only had a table of four.

Yeah, atmosphere was great, but the service was extremely slow. It took easily 45 minutes to get our food, 15 minutes just to get our drinks.
The food was OK, I ordered the honey hot chicken sandwich, which I mean, you could taste the honey a little bit, but the heat was not there at all
Overall, it was kind of mediocre
