Got the clam chowder. It was tasteless and I could tell had been made several days prior, at least two. The potatoes were the wrong texture. Considering it's available daily, I expect it to taste fresh. I ate about two bites and left the rest. I would not trust the seafood at all here.

Also got the chef salad, and the tomatoes were cold and mushy, also been in the fridge at least overnight. I couldn't finish it, because something smelled vinegary, despite not having a vinegar-based dressing.

The furniture is old and worn, the walls are grimy, as was my table, and the service was equally worn.

Old diner feel. The 2 bars next to Libbie's are connected. Food was basic but decent. Friendly staff

The food is reasonably priced, and the tuna salad is a real treat.

I wasn't sure how to rate this. I have been going here for 20+ years. Generally the food is great. On this past visit, I had ordered what I always order. #4 breakfast. When it arrived at the table, I asked the waitress, what is this? I ordered the #4 breakfast. She informed me that it was. But where are the home fries, i asked. She told me it doesnt come with home fries. On my plate I had 1 biscuit slit in half and layered with gravy and 2 sorry pieces of bacon. She offered to bring me some home fries. When she arrived at the table with a tiny plate of home fries, i thanked her as she set the bill upside down on the table. Generally I have always had to ask for a box since it normally comes with 2 biscuits, Home Fries and a piece of meat. When it came time to settle up, I noticed at the bottom of the check: Side of home fries $8! The breakfast is only $12.95. So unfortunately I believe that concludes my 20+ year relationship with Libbies.

When I got home, i looked up the menu and found a review for the same breakfast (Including photo with 2 biscuits, home fries, and piece of meat).

Wasn't really impressed with the overall experience here but it may just be me. We eat out a lot and not every place is great.

Me, my wife and a couple friends stopped in for a quick bite. We had never been here before. I have to say it was some of the worst food, and water, that I have ever had at a restaurant. The ice was moldy, none of us wanted to drink the water. The food wasn't any better. My burger bun was soggy and old. My wife's ice cream was freezer burnt. If I could give it less than one star I would have. Whoever is running this place, does not care.

Let's be honest. The only reason this place is still around and people are still going here is because it's been around forever. That's it. It's a historical landmark by now. I got a waffle breakfast here. It was disappointing. It tasted like it was microwaved. Just because this is a diner that's been around forever doesn't mean the food is delicious. I know you're a fixture of the community because you're so old but that doesn't mean you have to stop making an effort to make good food. There are SO MANY other places nearby that do a way better job. Time to step it up. Seriously, I feel like they've stopped caring. Every time I've walked by or have been in, I feel like I have to be over 60 just to be a patron or get good food here. Bertie Lou's kicks this places butt and they've been in business for over 82 years. Do better. I also had to wait about 15 minutes and there was only one other person inside the entire building

Convenient neighborhood place, clearly popular for a long time, but not great on the night I visited. I'll try it again when I'm down in this part of town. I suspect breakfast or lunch is a better bet from the kitchen. The service was what will bring me back.
