Our waitress Alize was not very attentive at all. She barely came back to check on us which was unfortunate because we had the bottomless mimosas, which means we didn’t get as many as we’d like. This is our first time having fair service as we have always had great waiters and waitress. Hopefully this was just a bad day for her and this is not her norm.

2 out of 4 dinners ordered were seafood, and both were poorly prepared. The shrimp was bordering on burnt and rubbery and the fish was not fresh tasting.

After being seated and waiting at the table for 15-20 minutes with no waiter we walked out the door and will never come back. Instead, went to the new Waterside in LWR, had a great meal there.

Our server Olivia was attentive and personable. Our party especially liked the pork chop entree. Ribs were fine, tuna tataki starter also good. Brussels sprouts starter was lackluster. Definitely what made this dinner an enjoyable experience was the service we received.

We like Libby’s. We just feel the prices have increased and the food presentation is just OK. We sat inside in the middle of the restaurant. It wasn’t too crowded but we felt closed in. I’m sure we will try it again.

We go there for their fish and chips (though I replace the chips with the jalapeño Mac 😋), wife loves the blackened fries. Service is always good, prices are reasonable but place is a little noisy However I would highly recommend for a nice casual dining.

Libby's Lakewood Ranch is good. No complaints. Good food and service but not outstanding. The menu is diverse but I can't say that some items aren't overpriced. It's a good place to grab a bite but unfortunatelyI wouldn't recommend it for much else. The location is convenient, but with so many choices, Libby's is not high on my list for dinner. Definitely better for lunch!

Food was just ok. The wedge salad someone took a head of iceberg lettuce chopped in half jammed it in a plate (which was overflowing impossible to cut ) threw two strips of bacon (not chopped or incorporated) and put an over cooked 5oz steak on side.
