    Our server was excellent—very kind and knowledgeable. However, the noise level was quite loud, and there was a child who screamed every couple of minutes. While this wasn’t the restaurant's fault, it did affect our enjoyment of the meal.

    This is our favorite restaurant in Sarasota. From the moment we walk in we feel like family. Beth did a wonderful job taking care of us. It is always so nice to see the manager, Ericka with her bubbly personality. HH drinks are great. All the food items we had were all hot and cooked perfectly.

    Libby's is one of my favorite lunchtime restaurants, and it did not disappoint on my May 12 visit. I ordered the French onion soup and pulled pork sandwich. My lunch partner ordered the French onion soup and hamburger. It is worth a special visit just for the pulled pork sandwich. The hamburger was very good, but not worth a special visit, as good hamburgers are available at many other restaurants. The service was very good; our server timed the meal perfectly.

    Took my mother there for Mother's Day. We had a table for 5. The noise level was SO LOUD it was hard to talk across the table without almost shouting. It was so hard to even talk to the person next to you, you had to lean in close just to talk. The decor was not what I remembered, it was very humdrum. Then they left the large sliders to the. outside halfway open, so it got very warm inside. The server was delightful and did a good job. The food was pretty good, not great, but it pretty good. I used to love to come here for a nice and relaxing dinner, but it is just so loud now it took away from the enjoyment.

    Hello Kim, Thank you for choosing Libby's for your Mother's Day celebration. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the service and the food. We're sorry to hear that the noise level was too high for your comfort, at busy times the restaurant does tend to get loud.
