Came for the Spider-Man character brunch and it was a fantastic experience! The staff spared no details to make it memorable for kids--from the Spidey-themed music , menu, decorations and even Spider-Man doing a meet and greet at each table. The manager was also very attentive and the food was great! Recommend it for family dining. read more

We went here for happy hour and we had a good time. It was also restaurant week so we were able to try their 3 course meal. It was great. My favorite was the chicken and mushroom gnocchi. It was amazing. We had a great time. Service was good. At times we needed to flag the servers down so we can ask for something. They were accommodating but it was a busy night for a Monday it was busy, It was a nice chill evening for us and we had wonderful time. read more

We went to Libs for Father's Day. The menu is promising, the atmosphere is great, and they have a great outdoor area. We sat outside, but unfortunates it was as the sun was going down and the way the patio faces puts you in direct sunlight with little shading. I don't fault the restaurant for that. Just something to think about. What I do fault the restaurant for, we waited almost an hour just to place orders. When we told the waitress we were ready, she said she had to grab her iPad for ordering and then we watched her take 2 other tables orders before coming back to us about 20 minutes later. The food was also not quick to come out after that as well. However, once we got the food it was good. My Greek chicken bowl was pretty good. My husband was not a fan of his Argentinian steak. The potatoes on it were undercooked. My kids loved their kids meals though. With all of this, I would go back. I would just know what I'm getting into. My in laws also say the regularly get take out from here and that is always ready on time and carry's home well. read more

On a cold, weekday evening my foodie companion and I decided to try something new and headed out to try Lib's Grill in Maple Lawn. The atmosphere was warm and friendly, welcoming and not pretentious, a mix of couples, families, and groups of friends enjoying a night out. The restaurant was bustling, the bar area was nearly full and while we did have a reservation, it appeared not to be absolutely necessary. Service was friendly, prompt, and informative.    I started with one of their craft cocktails and our server recommended a beer for my friend. The drinks were perfectly refreshing and a good start to our evening. When my friend saw they had oysters, this convinced him we had chosen wisely. We selected a mix of their oyster offerings. They arrived chilled and with just the right amount of condiments making for a tantalizing slurp to start our dinner. For starters, we selected the Brussels Sprouts and the Roasted Beet Carpaccio. The Brussels were perhaps some of the best we've had in quite some time, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The goat cheese on the Beet Carpaccio was very good, but for me, the flavor profile wasn't quite there, it needed a little more acidity. For dinner, my friend selected the Shrimp and Grits, and I chose the Argentinian Steak. While quite good, constructive criticism would be that the vinegar in the chimichurri, smothered an otherwise perfectly cooked, flavorful steak and the rosemary overpowered the roasted potatoes. The grits, while delicious, were almost too creamy rich, but otherwise a delicious blend of sausage and shrimp. For dessert, we shared the Key Lime Pie and the Carrot Cake. The cake was very good, but we weren't fans of the hardened frosting top, and we wished the Key Lime Pie had even more tart, lime flavor.   The portions were plentiful, the price point was reasonable, and all plates were wonderfully presented. The friendly neighborhood environment, atmosphere, and service all enhanced our dining experience. Definitely give them a try, we will return and look forward to it. read more

Recently visited for Brunch. My friend and I sat in the bar area. On this visit I had 6 oysters, which were on a buck a shuck special. Nicely sized, fresh and briny. OJ Crush, boozy and refreshing. And the Crab Cake Hash. Good sized crab cake. Little to no filler. It was served with an over easy egg, spinach and potatoes. The dish was savory and delicious. If there was one thing I had to mention negatively about the dish, it would be the lack of spinach. There seemed to have only been 2 sprigs of spinach. Our bartender was super nice, knowledgable and fast. I'll definitely be back! SYOY! read more

My husband and I came here the other week for date night- it's situated in a nice little shopping center in Fulton. We easily parked right outside on the street, free parking. Service was fantastic, very attentive server. Cocktails and dinner entrees were great and moderately priced- will definitely be back to try more of the menu! Pretty large central bar inside too which is always a plus. Good spot for both date night or every day dining. read more

We had SOOOO much fun with Phil as our server. 10/10 would request him again! He's friendly and personable in a way that really isn't common nowadays. We loved our dining experience! For food, the Asian Brussels sprouts are worth the trip alone. I also loved my beef and burrata pasta. read more

This was my first time dinning at this restaurant. One reason I choose to dine here was because of the holiday decorations. The restaurant was beautifully decorated which I loved. To my surprise they also had karaoke which was fun and festive to listen to. I ordered something basic, grilled chicken ceasar salad and it was good. The service was quick and friendly. It would be nice if they added mulled wine to the menu. read more

Great experience, perfect place for the 505 meeting. Everyone from the bar to the waitress, kitchen staff and atmosphere was perfect. Thanks

Stopped here for the first time for dinner. The restaurant has multiple areas for seating. As for the food, they had a seasonal menu for Valentine's. I got my meal from that menu but I think I should've ordered from their regular menu for my first time since that's what they do best. I got steak with asparagus and two small scallops. It wasn't very filling or satisfying but it did come with a large plate of salad as a side option which did fill me up. However, I think I received a different salad than what I ordered. My partner got the shrimp and grits from their regular menu and that sauce was fantastic! I literally ate the rest of my steak with that sauce. And, it came with lots of shrimp. The deviled eggs were also really good. Our server was really nice and friendly throughout the night. read more

Good Bar food menu great drinks and the bartenders are friendly and courteous there menu is extensive with a good variety of foods

Lib's has quickly become one of my regular go tos for a nice dinner out. They're a bit much for a weekly stop, but they've definitely earned their way into the rotation of "treat" restaurants! They're tucked into Maple Lawn, and have a nice, kind of old fashioned family diner setting. I've gone quite a few times, and each time, the service has been fast, prompt, and upbeat. The food is usually fantastic. They've got a good selection of raw oysters, though the last time I stopped by they were not as great as I'd like -- oddly, during their "Oyster Week." But, typically they're fresh, briny, and delicious. The oyster stew is also delicious and highly recommended. I usually get the coffee seasoned steak. Sounds weird. It's delicious. But, do check the specials -- they often have some unique items added to the list, some of which are great, too. read more

They offer a wide variety of delicious brunch and lunch options. I've tried the French toast, classic American breakfast, flatbread, Brussels sprouts, and the meatloaf--and everything has been fantastic. The meatloaf, in particular, is outstanding! The service has always been excellent as well. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Aliyah was amazing that could be the review! The food was pretty ok but we did have to send the steak back because it was not properly cooked. The manager resolved our problem without any issues.

We went to see the Christmas setup and really liked it- they have super cute decorations! I made reservations for a Friday evening and when we arrived, was told we would need to wait over 20 minutes. I said that seemed long for having a reservation. The hostess said that previous parties were staying longer than the expected time. The manager came over a couple minutes later and immediately found us a table, which we found interesting. I got both the Señor Claus and the Elf'd Up. Both were good but I liked the Señor Claus a little more. My friend got 2 It's Lits but the first one didn't come in an ornament, while the second did. For food, I for the tuna nachos and MD crab soup. I loved the nachos- so much flavor. I want to try the scallops and crab dip next time I come! read more

In Oct. my girlfriend suggested Lib's for her birthday, I said we should taste test. For our Oct visit, I was more enthusiastic & would be 5-stars based on that. Dec overall good but a few small complaints. Friday, 10/25, we both got the same thing as I had looked over the menu, read prior reviews, & asked the host his recommendations while I was waiting for her. All which lead me to the crab cake sandwich. It was excellent & thankfully a big size because sometimes it's just not quite enough. French fries were well seasoned & delicious as well. Server was very attentive & friendly getting refills on water quickly. After this, it confirmed she wanted to do this for her birthday. Saturday, 12/7 we arrived 15 minutes early to greet anyone early. They were about 20 minutes late for our 7 PM reservation, so the 13 were awkwardly waiting in small & narrow waiting area (mainly 9, 4 of them were pretty late themselves), & 2 more arrived after we were seated. In spite negative of extra waiting, they told us we'd get charcuterie boards free. Within about a minute after seating, they put out 3 boards in various parts of tables. It wasn't a traditional charcuterie board simply cheese & various processed pig. Thankfully, it was cheese cubes, Brussel sprouts, DEVILED eggs, strawberries, blueberries, cranberries, etc. which I liked better. I especially enjoyed Brussel sprouts, my 1 friend said that's all me...haha, meaning he's not a fan of them. Deviled eggs were great too. All other items on board were good too, but Brussel sprouts were well seasoned & delicious. As for food decisions, my girlfriend opted to get exact same crab cake sandwich we both knew were excellent. However, I refused to get the same thing as last time as I wanted to try something different. I was looking at the entrees. I felt 6-8 oz meat for like $35-40 was not worth it. I'm like I can make steak or salmon at home for a lot less & get more meat, & yeah it'd probably be better at Lib's, but still not worth the price differential. They had some chicken schnitzel bowl for like $26, but I wasn't sure I'd like that all that well. I didn't want a burger or any sandwich. So, I opted for the pasta, even though I had pasta Wed, 12/4 (3 days earlier) & still had leftover that I planned on eating on Mon, 12/9 for lunch. I'm having this $29 beef pasta dish too, which was a little steep. I'll be honest, it was just good for me but not great & compared with less expensive place in Odenton we had on Wed & some other excellent places (including Galiano walking distance from Lib's), this was subpar & more expensive. It was also not that big amount although did have a good beef quantity in. My appetite wasn't all there as I had a ton of food, beer, wine from an industry holiday party Thurs, & my weight inflated 3-4 lbs for several days after. In spite only a somewhat modest portion of pasta, I still saved half as a leftover, which I'm planning eating for lunch Wed, 12/11. I tried my friend's carbonara, which was better & looked like more food for only $25. A few people got pasta, there was also a $31 with scallops, which I might've considered but it clearly says bacon (I don't eat pork). Also, I'm realizing that the carbonara which I tried as proscuitto (which is a dried pork, like what you'd find in a regular charcuterie board). Next time I go to Lib's, I'll just stick with the crab cake sandwich or ask if they can make carbornara w/o proscuitto & to put something else in it to make up for the loss of a normal ingredient. Several people on my half the table got pasta, so it was a popular choice for folks. Many got alcohol too. My girlfriend & I each got a holiday cocktail. Neither of us are big drinkers, & if we get a drink, we often will split, but this time we got our own. She got Milk n'Cookies (vodka, amaretto, etc.) & I got a Santa-gria red wine blend, brown sugar, apple pie moonshine, etc. I liked mine better as she liked hers better. But hers was good too. Both had adequate alcohol content. Service was just ok. Water refills were slow. Some water was done, & I was looking out for my friend as I called server over to get him more water. My g/f & I split creme brulee. She loved it; it was just ok for me. I think I would've liked the key lime pie more & she might've liked as much. Server came around showing example tray display of desserts. I actually find it to be off-putting as a ploy to get people to buy overpriced desserts people don't need. But my g/f said days earlier we would split a dessert, so I was ok with it. I also am against forced gratuity even on large party; I probably was going to tip around 18-22%, but this is almost universal for large parties at restaurants. A friend got steak & greens top making fries soggy. He liked beef juices soaking fries. We agreed to disagree; I'd want those items separate & would've been annoyed with that. Staff was cordial, overall pretty good. read more

The cocktails were a tad warm, had ice chips. It seemed like they were above the staff's ability to execute. The food was fine, but overall it felt like 43 dollars a person was a lot for a burger and a cocktail. read more

This is a great location, right on the corner with other restaurants in Maple Lawn. They recently updated the menu, and the first dish I tried (French Onion Grilled Cheese) was FANTASTIC!! Others were not as impressed with their meals, but I'm only writing with my experience. We've had spotty service in the past, but our latest visit was great. I did see some staff members hanging around, and there are the occasional leaners to be found. But, again, the last time we visited, we had no complaints with OUR server. The atmosphere is modern, a little chic, but slightly rustic as well. Wood, wrought iron, clean walls, incandescent lights... that kind of scene. It's conducive to good eating, though, I feel. The prices are okay, depending on what you get. The lighter fare like handhelds are generally much better than the entrées. It works for both lunch and dinner, though. We've been here several times already, and for the most part, everyone has generally enjoyed their meal. Again, the jury is still out on the new menu... Overall, it's a great location, generally great food, and typically great service. If they keep hitting on all these items, they should be here for a long time to come. Here's hoping! read more

Easy parking. Warm and friendly welcome. Lovely outdoor seating on a glorious day. Friendly service by Sophia. Definitely recommend the Brussels Sprouts appetizer. The onion soup was delicious. The braised beef grilled cheese sandwich sounded so tempting, but it needs more seasoning or flavor, IMHO. Suggest that they make plastic straws available on demand rather than by default? A bit more environmental awareness would be great... A note-- quite unexpectedly (and thoughtfully!), they delivered a custom mini-dessert with good wishes to our table. Nice touch!! read more

I hosted a business happy hour event to bid a colleague farewell. Our group reserved the oyster bar area and it accommodated our group of 15-20 well. Our server was attentive. The drinks were very good, and I had some of the best parmesan truffle fries I've ever had. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

We surprised my friend for dinner at Lib's Grill a couple weeks ago. I had the deviled eggs with crab and the tuna nachos. I also had the seafood soup which is not pictured. The nachos were delicious -- the wonton chips were crispy (a tad bit greasy). The eggs were served cold which I didn't expect. I liked the crab on top, but the eggs itself didn't have the best flavor. I had two of their zero proof drinks. The blueberry one had an egg foam on top. I usually don't mind, but I think the lack of alcohol makes the raw smell more potent which I didn't like. The service was good -- quick, knowledgeable and friendly. This was my second time here and I think would go again since it's conveniently located. read more

Hunter was amazing and gave fabulous recommendations! ! Lunch was delicious! Will definitely be back!

(4.5 stars) Delicious. Travel-friendly packaging. Prices are....a bit weird? I got buffalo tenders, roasted beets and a side of gratin. The buffalo tenders were good and not dripping with a runny sauce, which I appreciated. It looks like they fried the tenders and then dipped them in a buffalo sauce/oil? Sort of how they make nashville hot chicken. The tenders were robust (3 was plenty), and the blue cheese was chunky and delicious. The roasted beets was gorgeous. Vibrant colors, and the travel home (just 1 miles) didn't mess with the presentation at all. The roasted beets lay on a bed of whipped goat cheese (worth the whole dish, in my opinion, but I love whipped cheeses), and it's sprinkled with slices of orange and shaved radish. I didn't see or taste any lavender, and I didn't see any evoo either, but the dish was still delicious. The caramelized shallot & gruyère potato gratin was disappointing to me. I didn't taste or see any caramelized shallots, and the whole dish needed salt because it was bland to me. Shocking since it was supposed to have the caramelized onion and gruyère--it really shouldn't have been bland, but it was. I thought the pricing was a bit weird. The $9 tenders made sense, but the $14 for the roasted beets felt really overpriced. Maybe beets are expensive right now? I dunno. The $8 gratin felt overpriced as well, especially since it was bland. Overall, I did enjoy the meal. I'm glad I tried Lib's, but it'll probably be a while before I order from there again. read more

Visited using reservations on a Friday night. Seated immediately. Brisk business with customers in the bar and restaurant. Our server Brian was attentive and provided water immediately. Frequent check ins while reviewed the menu. Music was a mix of 90s to present and not so loud that conversation was difficult. Everyone enjoyed their entrees, and most of us boxed up leftovers. Nice to see local beverages from nearby breweries. I enjoyed my pasta, which was fresh-tasting and hot. I prefer a little more spice, but still very good. Plenty of nearby parking! Thanks. read more

What an unbelievable night to celebrate my daughter's 18th birthday. The interior was heavily decorated, and we loved it. I sadly can't remember our waitress's name, but we all think it started with an "E". If you worked on Saturday, November 29th, and served the group of 6, we LOVED you!!! She was fast, kind, attentive, and really made my daughter feel special with a surprise dessert. I will surely return. Whoops... almost forgot to mention how good my shrimp and grits were. Wow!!!! read more

The oysters arrive like small, cold moons arranged on a bed of crushed ice -- a constellation built to be briefly admired and then devoured. Under the violet glow of the bar at Lib's Grill, their slick surfaces catch the light like wet pebbles after rain. Each shell holds a pulse of the ocean: brine, iron, and something ancient that resists metaphor. The house mignonette cuts through the salt like a thin blade of order through chaos, and for a few moments, time dissolves in the act of slurping something both alive and gone. The happy hour here, like all good rituals of civilization, feels like a truce with entropy -- oysters at a merciful price, martinis so clear they seem to erase thought itself. The bartender moves with quiet efficiency, and the service -- kind, unhurried -- gives the illusion that the world might briefly make sense. Outside, night continues its patient collapse, but within this violet-lit sanctuary, humans persist in their tender absurdity: paying homage to the sea with ice and gin. The staff here seem to understand that hospitality, like art, is simply a way of keeping the dark at bay for one more hour. read more
