"It was a great experience! The Chicken Skins appetizer is a must try... The Libby's Bourbon Slushy is a nice treat, and the burger was extremely flavorful with the chorizo kicker! I don't regret choosing this as a surprise date night spot!! Unfortunately, they were out of the Goetta hush puppies and the Honey pie, so I think I'll be back to try them!"
"Oh wowwww... What a fantastic meal! Stopped in for lunch. We wanted to have some fried chicken while in Kentucky and this joint did not disappoint!! Southern comfort food at its finest with unique twists and touches from the chef. I started off with the fried green tomatoes. They were topped with Libby’s house made pimento cheese, pork belly lardons, bourbon onion jam, and herb oil. I'm not real big on pimento cheese but this was nicely done. The flavors from this and the pork belly threw this fish over the top and made fried green tomatoes unlike any other I've ever had. Next, I dove right into the shrimp and grits. I never knew shrimp and grits could be THIS good, and that's really saying something! Tasso grits topped with blackened shrimp, fried onion straws, and chives. I don't know what it was but each bite was an explosion of flavor and a true joy for the taste buds. Most excellent. You just may have ruined shrimp and grits forever for me. For my entree, I had the two piece fried chicken with white cheddar mac and cheese, garlic mashed potatoes and a freshly made biscuit. The chicken was crisp, flavorful and hearty. The white cheddar mac and cheese, creamy gooey and truly a southern treat. The garlic mashed potatoes were also very and well made! Thank you Libby's for a truly enjoyable meal, friendly service and amazing food."
"I’ve been hearing about the fried green tomatoes at Libby’s for quite a while. It’s not a common dish, but is a Southern Sunday Dinner classic. Anytime a place becomes known for great southern cooking, I pay attention. As one of my last restaurant visits in Cincinnati, I chose to try Libby’s before I leave for Nashville. I did not regret this decision. I stuck with apps and dessert ordering the fried green tomatoes, the pimento cheese dip, and the pumpkin roll pie (not sure of the exact name). All were fantastic! I had great service all around, and very much enjoyed my time at Libby’s. I’ll find a way to be back and bring my Mom who is from Tennessee. She would love it, and so will you! Definitely check them out and try the fried green tomatoes."
"We went to one of our favorites, Libby's Southern Comfort restaurant, and I must say it was a delightful experience from start to finish. As soon as I walked in, I was struck by the clean and inviting atmosphere, complemented by charming decor that set the tone for a memorable meal. To kick off my meal, I opted for the Goetta Hushpuppies, and they were an absolute hit. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, these little bites were bursting with flavor. They were the perfect precursor to what was to come. The Buttermilk Chicken Biscuit that followed was nothing short of phenomenal. The chicken was tender and perfectly seasoned, sandwiched between a biscuit that was flaky and heavenly. Each bite was a burst of Southern comfort in my mouth. Moving on to the burgers, they were truly a class apart. Cooked to perfection, they were juicy, flavorful, and topped with fresh ingredients that elevated them to a whole new level. Libby's certainly knows how to do burgers like none other. To wash it all down, I indulged in the Bourbon Slush, which was a revelation. It was the perfect blend of sweet and tangy, mixed with bourbon in just the right proportions. It was a delightful accompaniment to the meal. Finished with the pumpkin cheesecake. It was bursting with flavors and creamy finish. One of the standout features of Libby's Southern Comfort is their great outdoor dining area. The spacious setup, complete with nice ceiling fans, creates a comfortable and enjoyable environment for al fresco dining. It's the ideal place to savor your meal on a pleasant day. Lastly, I must commend the excellent service I received during my visit. The staff was not only attentive but also incredibly friendly, adding to the overall warmth of the experience. In conclusion, Libby's Southern Comfort is a gem of a restaurant that combines a clean and inviting ambiance with outstanding food and exceptional service. Whether you're in the mood for Southern classics or a perfect burger, this place has it all. I can't wait to return to try more of their delectable offerings."
"I love southern food and I love having such a quality southern food restaurants in the area! My wife and I finally made it to Libby’s and it did not disappoint! We started with the Fried Green Tomatoes which I thought were good but not show stopping. From there we got the Fried Chicken and the Shrimp and Grits. The shrimp and grits was very good. One of the better ones I’ve had. But, the fried chicken is what stole the show for me! It was amazing! The meat was tender and juicy all while having an excellent crunch on the skin! I don’t say this lightly but I think it was the best fried chicken I’ve had! In addition to the entrees, their sides were also very good. Overall, it was a great experience! The restaurant was nice, the staff was good and the food was amazing! I couldn’t recommend visiting Libby’s Southern Comfort enough!"
