Oak Barrel Salmon
Salmon is cooked perfectly and the spinach is delicious! Our whole family loves the crispy fries. We love Libby's and have not been disappointed!
Brisket Burger
Favorite burger in town! Try it! You won't be disappointed
Joe's Spaghetti & Meatballs
Really good pasta and a great rich sauce with lots of deep flavor. Meatballs are excellent and having three of them in the order is a wonderful surprise! We look forward to eating this tasty classic everytime!
Brasserie Brisket Burger
The best burger I've had since moving from Nashville! Flavors are very well balanced, and the quality of the meat is superb. You will not be disappointed!
Blue Crab & Shrimp Cakes
Loved our meal we had here on Thursday night. We had the blue crab and shrimp cakes for an appetizer and I had the ribs for dinner. Some of the best ribs I've had in Sarasota! Loved the atmosphere, friendly staff and will definitely be back soon. Thank you!
Family Value Meal
We just thoroughly enjoyed a Family Meal to go. We were expecting a decent meal but were truly impressed with the quality of the meal and the generous portions. We had the Nobu salad, brussel sprouts, salmon, mashed potatoes and chocolate decadence cake. Everyone commented on how they expected as least one dish to be ordinary but in each case everyone was extremely happy. The only negative is extremely minor; the chocolate decadence seems to have a distinctive mocha flavor and although I love both chocolate and coffee I do not care for mocha. Everyone else loved it!
Fried Grouper
AMAZING!!!
IMPOSSIBLE VEGAN DOUBLE STACK BURGER
Just one of the many items I have tried their food is always fresh and delish
Joe's Cast Iron Meatballs
Their meatballs were so delicious and that marinara they were in was good too!
Bistro Salad
Great Salad
"Smokey" Old Fashion
From the Old Fashion , to the service , to the food, we look forward to being back in Sarasota to dine at Libby's ā¦.we drive from Naples to enjoy Opera, theatre etc. with Libby's as our go to dinning location. Setting is lovely and food a treat.
Brioche Gruyere Melt
Overall delicious but maybe better with less brioche - doesn't need the middle slice. Service was excellent. Have had the same young woman as our server 3 times and she's efficient, friendly and personable.
Brioche Gruyere Melt
Delicious sandwich, more than enough to bring home for an extra snack.
Chicken Milanese
Our party had 3 different Sunset dining meals: chicken for me, catch of the day Mahi, and salmon. We all tried different starters and desserts. Everyone was very happy with their meal. My soup was exceptional, as were the Brussels sprouts. Nice presentations, good flavor, and great value. House wine was decent! Our waiter, Joe, was an added bonus. Thanks, we'll be back.
Drunken Mussels & Fries
Best mussels I have ever had. I order this dish a lot when I go out to eat. These were by far the best I have ever had. It was a rainy night and we just happened to drive by your restaurant. We live in the neighborhood and thought we would give the local restaurant a try. Well it didn't disappoint. Great service , great food. Half price bottles of wine with a wide selection of wines to choose from was a bonus. It was a Wednesday. My husband ordered the ribs which were fall off the bone tender. Perfectly matched with their homemade Mac and cheeses. Oh and I can't forgot the cute delicious cheese buns that come with your meal. We will definitely be back. A very pleasant surprise. Would highly recommend. Cheers
Joe's Cast Iron Meatballs
I stopped in for happy hour to beat the dinner rush. I was greeted immediately with a smile and taken to a very cozy table. The service was excellent. Kelly was well versed and helped answer all my menu questions with a smile as well.
Dr Pepper Ribs
The ribs were fall of the bone tender and the Dr. Pepper BBQ sauce was sweet and tangy. It was a good size portion and we'll have leftovers for tomorrow. I ordered fries as the side and they came perfectly crispy on the outside. Highly recommend!
Shrimp & 3 Cheese Grits
This was the best shrimp and grits I've had in years. The service was amazing and the staff was very friendly.
Brunch Burger
First time here and really enjoyed the burger! Looking forward to coming back and trying other items on the menu.
Dr Pepper Ribs
Yummy! We've enjoyed many great menu items at Libby's Lakewood Ranch- both dining at the location (outdoor seating) and take-out. We had these Dr. Pepper ribs last time we ordered take-out and they were fabulous! The entire meal was excellent (I especially liked the coleslaw side dish). Generous portions. Moist, tender, meaty delicious ribs. Libby's Lakewood Ranch is one of my favorite restaurants! We look forward to having Dr. Pepper ribs from Libby's again soon. ps. Also the crab cake appetizer and chicken croquette appetizers and crispy Brussels appetizer are great (be aware the appetizer portions we've had at Libby's are very generous! Like, huge!). Thank you Libby's!
Classic French Onion Soup
We had brunch at Libby's in Lakewood ranch and my husband enjoyed the French onion soup while I stuck with the classic eggs benny and bottomless mimosas. I would highly recommend all of the above! Our kids shared the fruit plate which was huge and high quality as well. We sat indoors near the open patio and love the vibe at Libby's. Such a peaceful, fun place with lots of great energy! We love that Libby's is now in Lakewood Ranch as we used to occasionally love to go to the one in Sarasota.
Crispy Brussel Sprouts
Addicted to these very flavorful sprouts! Best ever, generous portion.
Family Value Meal
The Family Meal exceeded our expectations! The portions are generous; its truly a full 4-course meal for 4. The food was hot and ready to enjoy with all the garnish and sauce you'd expect from a dine-in experience. We enjoyed the crab cakes, kale cesar, salmon, mac 'n cheese, and chocolate cake. Each was uniquely tasty. All that makes for a real meal deal! Plus touchless curbside pick-up was easy with efficient staff who came out in the rain with friendly smiles behind their safety masks. See you again soon! UPDATE: We enjoyed the left-overs for lunch today š Please consider using all reusable, recyclable, and biodegradable containers. The foil trays and paper carry bags are great. Unfortunately, the plastic clam shells can't be recycled, unlike #1, #2, or #5 recyclable plastic containers. I know Tableseide is doing a lot to promote and practice sustainability in our community, thank you.
Crispy Brussels
Shout out to Libby's! Was thrilled to enjoy our first night out for dinner in several weeks. Staff had masks and gloves and tables appropriately distanced. Great food and drinks. Very pleasant evening. Thank you!
Four Cheese & Pear Tortellini
Loved these tortellinis. like soft little pillows full of flavor. Have recommended the dish to others. will order it again and again.

Dr Pepper Ribs
Had not heard or tried Dr. Pepper Ribs before and decided to give them a try. I was not disappointed. Thought they might be dry as they were not lathered in typical BBQ sauce. They were absolutely great. The meat was plentiful, seasoned to perfection, tender, and moist. This menu item is served with macaroni and cheese...and that was a surprise and good addition!
Bistro Salad
The Bistro Salad at Libby's is my go to! I have to have it every time I go. the balance of acidity in the dressing with the rich pork belly croutons is spot on. Then it is topped with a runny poached egg for perfection! Order a side of crispy brussels, you will love them. Bottomless Bloody Mary and Mimosas - WHAT?? Yes Please! See you next Sunday.
Octopus
Great but a bit overdressed
Classic French Onion Soup
Best french onion I've ever had!!!
Libby's Creamy Mac N Cheese
Had the Ribs, very tasty and fall off the bone. It could have been a little warmer. My wife had the Pork chop and it was great.
French Dip
Sandwich was perfectly done -- right quantity of beef and cheese, good flavor from the horseradish mayo and the dip was great (not too salty). The roll was perfectly toasted with a nice chewy texture. Nice portion of french fries but with a taste/smell of OLD cooking oil (even McDonalds gets this right)! Need to get an oil change more frequently. Shared coffee creme brƻlƩe --- this may be the best dessert in Sarasota!! Taste, preparation, quantity, creativity are all perfect. Our waiter (Gregory) was excellent. Knowledgable, attentive and personable. We've sampled most things on the menu (glad you are in LWR) and the consistency of the food is excellent. Only complaint is the brussel sprouts, which are so over-crisped that the taste of the vegetable is lost. However, most people like fried food so much that they seem to be willing to overlook this. Thanks
Brasserie Brisket Burger
This was so delicious and the flavor was perfect!! The service here is outstanding!! Love the atmosphere š
Bottomless Bloody Mary's & Mimosas
Libby's is the best spot for Saturday/ Sunday brunch! The environment and staff are always inviting. The food is fantastic and you can't beat the bottomless mimosas!
Florentine Ravioli
This was awesome! I will be going back with clients to share this delicious dish find! The meatballs and the caesar salad was equally delicious!
Crispy Brussels
Love ā¤ļø these! My go to appetizer!
Impossible Burger
Libby's has amazing food but what really makes them stand out is the atmosphere they provide for every customer that comes in. My all time favorite is the impossible burger. It's a great dish for a customer that's never had it before because they won't be disappointed but an even better choice for someone that is a vegan. The Bun, the burger & the sauce is what makes this sandwich so great. Definitely would recommend !
Octopus
Cooked to perfection and seasoned well. Definitely will be returning
Lemon Tahini Hummus
We had the hummus (amazing) and the meatballs! Love that you have specials for each night of the week and can't wait to return!
