2/15/26 Update! Lib's Grill has become our regular pit stop on the way to D.C. We have become "regulars" and our server that we ask for every time, (Brenna) is a bright light and always provides us with amazing service that keeps us coming back! We all enjoyed our lunch and I have to say, Lib's Grill was rocking! It was President's Weekend Holiday and every table was taken for brunch/lunch. Our meals, once again were all really good and service was top notch. Thank you, Brenna, (and team), for making our meal a memorable one, once again. I'll provide some updated photos to keep this review as fresh as the food and service! :) read more

Stopped in for a cocktail. Bar was packed and dining room empty. Got seated there but then moved over to bar area (thanks to the GM). The place is a holiday vibe! They have tons of holiday themed cocktails (with passports and stamps), and other events. Check their socials. We tried 4 different cocktails. The Don't Eat Yellow Snow... Drink It is highly recommended. Very good. Didn't order food. Service was great even though they were super busy! read more

Always a great time here. The manager is incredible, the bartenders are on point, and the food stays consistent. My go-tos: fish tacos, the meatloaf (top tier), salmon, any appetizer, and that spinach salad with blackened chicken--it'll make you want to slap your momma lol. If you're a beer drinker, this is one of the few places that has Yuengling on draft. And for my cocktail folks, the smoked Old Fashioned is legit. This place is my "Cheers." Great TVs, a strong bar setup, and an atmosphere that's always entertaining. Solid spot all around. read more

I am really disappointed to be lowering my review. Since they opened up the bel air location, the food quality at perry hall has been extremely inconsistent. Sometimes everything is great and other times its a different meal. This has caused us not to visit as often as we did, and we were regulars. This place is so close to me and used to be a go-to spot which is unfortunate. The past few times we came within the past year have been underwhelming. The truffle fries have overpowering garlic flavor, the burger has no flavor, the shrimp portions seem to be getting smaller and the seasoning isn't the same. The drinks and service however haven't changed and are still great, which is why I am giving 2 stars. Happy hour prices have also increased (used to be $1 oysters, $10 burger). Overall, I don't think we will be visiting anymore, not worth the gamble or quality of food. read more

My family and I stopped in for Saturday night dinner. Parking was easy but on busier days it might be difficult to find a spot. We were welcomed warmly and seated immediately after entering. We were surprised that we didn't have a wait because it was prime dining hours on the weekend. Our server was very kind and knowledgeable, offering suggestions for my wife who is frequently unable to decide. Both my son and I had bacon cheeseburgers, my daughter had shrimp and grits and my wife a salmon sandwich. We all enjoyed our meals, service and overall experience. The restaurant was medium sized and likely gets crowded at times. The bar area is separate from the dining area which is nice when dining with family. The restaurant was clean and seemed modern. We'll definitely be going back. read more

Lib's grill wasn't noisy on a Tuesday for happy hour. It was easy to hear and have conversation. I love how there were sports games on the tv but also trivia for the people who aren't into sports! Service was great. The woman and man running the bar were excellent in getting our drink and food orders. They work very well together. The raw oysters were good. The size of them wasn't consistent and they didn't come with Tabasco sauce which was surprising. It does come with the horse radish, lemon wedges, cocktail sauce, and mignonette sauce. Turns out, I really liked the mignonette sauce and it was my first time trying it! The handcrafted burger was everything it needed to be! No complaints about it. The fries were soggy but hot. I would've liked it more if the fries were a bit more crispy. The lemon basil crush was THE BEST. It was so refreshing and sweet (not overbearing). I can't wait to come back to try the orange crush. This place can be on the pricier side but going to happy hour made it worth it to me. Would come back with friends for a quick bite and chat. read more

I had a nice dinner celebrating a loved one's anniversary at Lib's Grill! The staff were friendly and welcoming, service was smooth. We sat in the heated tented area, it was relaxing, at some point the lights were dimmed and changed to blue and green. It changed the vibe a bit more club-y which wasn't exactly what we were looking for for a family dinner. Nonetheless, the food was delicious. I really enjoyed the tortilla salad, it was refreshing!! I also tried the goat cheese creme brulee. The top was very cold, I was a bit surprised for an appetizer being torched at the top, but the goat cheese with walnuts complimented well with the small toasted breads. read more

Dropped by the cute little sports bar after a movie--such a great experience! The food was satisfying. The kale salad was a solid 10/10--great texture and balance of ingredients. The fish taco? A total 12/10! Super crispy and flavorful. If I were watching a game, I definitely would've ordered more! For entrées, my friend and I had the salmon and swordfish. Both were over 8.5/10--delicious, though not mind-blowing, but the portions were very generous and filling. The vibe was cozy with a retro touch. Service was generally nice, though it did vary a bit depending on the server. Overall, I really adore this neighborhood bar. It's definitely a spot I'd come back to--perfect for a date night or just a chill evening with friends read more

I came here for a lunch date with my husband. The food was great, the service was amazing, staff was so friendly. My husband's phone was dying and they put it on the charger for him. The lemon drop was tasty and the right amount of alcohol. This was my first time having oysters and I loved them. I have been craving them ever since. We will be back to try other items on the menu. read more

We came here yesterday evening to celebrate my husband's birthday. I was so happy that Lib's Grill was such a delicious and satisfying meal. We started with local beer and the cheese platter. We both adored the cheese platter that came with cranberries, pistachios, warm toasts, and some A-mazing Bleu cheese that I suspected was Stilton but maybe not? The husband got the chicken schnitzel and I had the pistachio salmon. The salmon was really good and served on a bed of mashed potatoes and squash. The husband loved the corn-flake encrusted schnitzel. We were pretty full by this point but HAD to have dessert. The husband had some kind of warm carmel-y cake with ice cream. I had an amazing circular marriage of peanut butter and chocolate-- I could not eat the whole thing and yet decided I could not face it again the next day. I do have some regret about this. :-) Our server, Sarah, was so kind and attentive! We sat outside on a very warm night but she checked up on us regularly. I am looking forward to returning to Lib's Grill in Perry Hall-- there is still a lot on their menu to explore. read more

The food is way to salty. We have eaten there more then once and always the same, chef uses too much salt.

Great food, generous servings. Welcoming atmosphere. Been there many times. Always a great experience

Went there today for lunch to celebrate our father's 96 birthday. Burger was not cooked a medium. It was on the dry side and overcooked. Steak and blue flatbread,, meat was a little tough and was not cooked enough. All four of us were a little underwhelmed. Since we have been there previously and it was fine. read more

Lib's is like your best friend. You can go anytime and get great service and a great meal. My martini is calling me and I know it will be perfect. I am an oyster lover and so u always start with what they have. Always served very cold and with all the accoutrements. I love the salmon BLT. The burgers are great also. If you are looking for a dinner the filet is off the charts. Great place great staff. read more

I really liked this place. Has a nice bar and adjacent restaurant. The shrimp and grits, one of my favorite dishes, were stellar. I always judge my service on whether they keep my drink filled. They did. I will definitely go back. read more

Totally love the new fall menu. And looking very forward to fall fun and the best time of year to visit Libs Grill... Christmas. If you think Hampden looks cool on 34th St., you need to check out Libs Grill in Perry Hall because they pull out all the stops. The videos and pics that I'm going to share are from 2024 right after Thanksgiving and they weren't even done decorating yet. This was just their initial decorations. read more

I was visiting my brother-in law with my family, who lives in Perry Hall Maryland. We were at his place for a family get together to honor my wife's dad, who isn't with us anymore. So my brother in-law walked us all over to Lib's Grill, which is walking distance from his house. The first thing I noticed was the decor which was all did up for the Christmas Season, it was very welcoming and looked great. We went to Lib's grill for some drinks and to catch up with one another, it was a great gathering with love ones. The staff was very friendly and were very attentive to our groups needs, they were on point especially when my brother in-law spilled his beer they were right on top of the clean up, they were amazing. I bet their food is top notch, my family will have to try the food the next time we visit which we will. With that said I would recommend Lib's on their service alone, so if you find yourself in Perry Hall Maryland give them a try. read more

Earlier this month I had a chance to stop by this place for the first time to celebrate my son's 25th birthday. Our server was quite attentive and even offered her opinions on some of the dishes that we were deciding on. (We should have taken her advice on the jerk chicken bowl). For appetizers we had the fried oysters, and fish tacos. Absolutely delicious! Only wish there were more . We ordered: a seafood flatbread, several crab cake platters, several braveheart burgers, a pistachio carbonara pasta and the jerk chicken bowl. Everything was on point with the exception of the jerk chicken bowl. It was very bland and did not have any of the spice or kick that we would have expected from a jerk chicken dish. The crab cakes were good without a lot of filler. The burgers were hefty, and the pasta was homemade and the sauce was delicious. It just needed a little more seasoning. The portions were sizeable and everyone was too stuffed to get dessert. Nonetheless, they capped off the night with a nice butter cake with ice cream for my son's birthday. Would definitely come back again to try some other menu items. read more

The Ambiance is Great decorated for Christmas and looks great. So I ordered appetizer the shrimp and crab dip. The shrimp were amazing cooked perfectly great flavor. Not sure on the crab dip never showed up. I ordered the filet with fries and a salad. So the order got messed up meaning the steak was suppose to have onions and mushrooms came out with neither. So the manager came over and offered to take meal off plus gave me the up grade steak the Wagyu it was very good. The manager went all out to ensure we were satisfied. Over all I recommend if in the area . read more

I went to Lib's Grill for happy hour and it did not disappoint. The oysters were fresh! The burger was made to perfection. The bartenders were really nice and the drink was made quickly. The bartender saw me lean my phone up against the tap and gave me a heads up that liquids can fly all over the place so that was nice of him. The inside is very nicely decorated! read more

Lib's never disappoints--the food is always great and the service is super friendly. I'm a big fan of the new enclosed patio too, especially since the inside can be dimly lit. I usually go for the steak frites or the french dip grilled cheese, and always get the duck fat rosemary fries on the side. The portions are solid and everything tastes great. Last time, I tried the Maryland crab soup and it was packed with crab--seriously the most I've ever seen in a crab soup. So good. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Sooooooo I circled back! This time for Brunch. I was not disappointed. Though it was packed, my server didn't miss a beat. This time I was in the bar area. On this visit I had the buck a shuck oysters. They were soooo good. Fresh and meaty. One suggestion though, offer another hot sauce beside Tabasco. Some oyster aficionados love a vinegar based one. In addition to the oysters, I also had the shrimp and grits. The grits were very creamy and nicely seasoned. No under cooking here. But let's get into the shrimp and andouille sausage! Sooo good. Perfectly cooked and adequately seasoned. A great portion and good value. I washed everything down with a delicious spicy Bloody Mary. Check them out! SYOY! read more

We came here for date night during restaurant week. It was a really nice experience. Here's what we ordered: * SPINACH craisins, dried apple crisps, bleu cheese, toasted almonds, champagne vinaigrette. A+ The various ingredients allowed for a wonderfully textured salad. * Sweet Chili Buffalo Glazed Edamame. A+ The sauce and fresh edamame was a big hit. Not too spicy and not too sweet. * PAN SEARED ROCKFISH pan seared rockfish, potato hash, clams & bacon broth, parsley oil, red chili flakes. C The fish was drier and less seasoned than I preferred. I let it sit in the bacon broth to moisten a bit. It helped but it could have been better. * PISTACHIO & PEPITA CRUSTED SALMON whipped potatoes, garlic spinach, coconut ginger butternut squash purée. A- The salmon was cooked very well. When you pair the savory salmon with the sweet butternut squash...magic. * Heath bar bread pudding A+ This bread pudding was unmatched. If youre going to eat the fat, sugar, and calories, do it right. Lol. This should be your order. * Pistachio Tirimisu. This aint it. Order something else. The food portions were nice sizes. We didnt finish everything so we took home leftovers. We were pleasantly surprised how good the food was the next day. Our highlight was our server. Forgive me for not remembering our red headed, tattooed, beautifully spirited server. She was super attentive, offered great suggestions and was super amiable. For whatever reason, when we left, I left my purse at the table. When we got in the car, I said, "babe, i left my purse at the restaurant." He circles back to the restaurant and this beautiful red head was already outside looking for me. read more

A friend has been recommending I try this place for a while so I finally decided to see what it was about. The restaurant was festively decorated from the holidays and already full of people for an early weeknight dinner. There was a holiday cocktail menu I ordered from - first a Mistletoe Tini (quite strong but good!) and second a Mele Kalikimaka (went down smoothly and wasn't too sweet). Both drinks were quite good. For food, I ordered the LGO Oysters, a fish taco, and Brussels sprouts from their happy hour menu. The fish taco was A-mazing so I had to order a couple more. I loved the drizzled spicy aioli and the fish was so crispy - just so good! I love Brussels sprouts and unfortunately, theirs fell really short for me. It was burnt to a crisp and was way too salty. I only ate a few before I stopped and couldn't finish it. I also decided to order the Short Rib Rigatoni as a main entree. There was plenty of braised meat and I liked the touch of basil. It was quite good and I could only get a few bites in before I put the rest in a to go box. The bartender was friendly and staff seemed alright. Food and drinks overall were good. I will definitely need to come back because I'm still thinking about how great those fish tacos were! read more

Libs Grill is definitely one of our go to places. The bartenders that work there make the place so warm and inviting that I would rather sit at the bar sometimes even if I'm not ordering a drink. Andy, MJ and Vic always provide top-notch service. make recommendations on what food pairs well with what wines, inform me of new specials that might be going on or new items on the food menu. Chef B, and some of the other young gentleman who shuck the oysters do a fantastic job you can really tell that they take great pride in presenting a plate That looks great, Tastes great and is done in a manner that's not going to get you sick. Tracey, who is a server in the dining room is also a delight if we come in with a party that's more comfortable at a table. The young men and young ladies who host are also very kind and courteous I see them open doors for people and greet them and make sure that nobody's standing at the hostess station for too long top-notch staff. We were in recently and I am enjoying all the fresh new additions to the menu for the summer season especially the new tuna dish. I don't see why you would go anywhere else if you wanted a nice comfortable laid-back experience in a bar type atmosphere with top-notch service. I only had one complaint they changed what's being presented on the main television screen behind the oyster area. They used to show you the oysters and their prices and then it would flip through some of the specials that they have going on or seasonal brunches or theme dinners, and now none of that is there anymore. When I would come in, my eyes would always fixate on that TV and I would inform my friends and family via text about things that might interest them since I have a lot of people in my life who are not on social media, so that television screen was our social media for what is going on at Libs. read more

Lib's Grill - I got this to go so I could eat it for lunch the next day. It was a tuna special they had it's so fresh so yummy. - Seafood Near Me - Perry Hall, Maryland

My husband's coworker recommended this spot, and it turned out to be in a little strip area we hadn't even known existed. The outdoor seating area was a highlight - covered and heated, making it a pleasant place to enjoy the view of the street. I tried the orange creamsicle martini, which was quite good. We ordered the seafood flatbread, and while it was fine, it didn't really stand out. The oysters, however, were too salty, so we sent them back. The replacement batch was better, though still not exceptional. The service was decent, but the food menu was a bit limited. Overall, the food was okay, but I've definitely had better elsewhere. The place was quite busy, which suggests it has its regulars. While I'd recommend giving it a try if you haven't been, I personally don't think I'd return - it wasn't a bad experience, just not memorable enough to revisit. read more

Had another very nice experience at Lib's. We ate outside on the patio on a nice evening, which was much warmer than the chilly inside. Bring a sweater, but no different than most restaurants. Service was great, and the server was great with my 4 yr old! We got the crab dip, with the lumpiest crab I've seen in crab dip in a LONG time. Def appreciated. Could have used a little more seasoning, but I like a hefty hand on the old bay, so it could be me. The bread was also not my favorite, but did the job. Overall, I'd def get it again! The fish tacos were perfectly fried and a great balance with the picked onions and aioli. I really enjoyed them. The truffle parm fries were PLENTIFUL, and very tasty. Was a great night and would certainly recommend. read more

Finally made it back to Lib's and the experience did not disappoint! I'm so happy my husband and I decided to revisit as we wanted someone nice to celebrate our 2nd year of marriage. We called in Saturday afternoon and made reservations for 8pm. We opted for the enclosed patio seating which was so cozy because it was heated. Our waitress Brenna greeted us and she was absolutely amazing! We started the night off with apps and let me tell you, the fish tacos were the best I've ever had! My goodness, absolutely delicious. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his MD crab soup as well. For entrees, I enjoyed the rigatoni a la vodka pasta with smoky beef and my husband enjoyed the grilled pork chop with mashed potatoes and green beans. He went on and on about how good the Demi glacé paired with the pork chop. I also praised my smoky beef rigatoni pasta. You could certainly taste the quality in the preparation of the pasta dough and the beef was so tender. We wrapped up dinner with dessert. We told Brenna earlier in the night that we were celebrating our 2nd anniversary. To our surprise, after we picked dessert, she brought to the table a beautiful hand written display which was so thoughtful of her and the team. It was the cherry on top of a perfect date night and the chocolate cake was yummy! We will definitely be back to visit soon to try out the candy cane cocktails for the holiday season :-) read more

We were stuck in traffic on 95 for half an hour and decided we really needed to eat something. So as soon as we can get off, we did and found Lib's grill. We had no idea what to expect, but it was more than delightful upon entering. Whomever decorated for the holidays obviously had fun! The restaurant was adorable. On to the food. Just wow. The food was at a level. You wouldn't expect in a place as un assuming as Libs. Everything we had was creative and exceptionally delicious. Our server Aga was amazing as well. She guided us through the different choices and helped us make choices that we would love. She was a attentive and thoughtful and fun. There was not one thing we were sorry that we ordered, and we ordered a lot. We will definitely be back. read more

Lib's Grill - Appetizers - Seafood Near Me - Perry Hall, Maryland

Nothing to write home about This is an Applebees of the east coast. Devil eggs, hotdogs and burgers with a twist. Aside from the over-bae'd crab soup and the pulled beef hotdog, this place has the classic east coastal options and some infused mix cocktails that can carve out any trendy nightscape of an evening for a dinner date. The atmosphere is inviting, the place is clean and well kept, bathrooms were clean and the food was hot and well prepared, plated and presented. A lot of opinions, some that don't belong (in my opinion) such as the: fish tacos, tuna nachos. Word for a burger/steak/seafood place but, they did good muscles (the bourbon red pepper sauce was okay) if you like the classic butter and garlic this may be a turn off. The goat brûlée was well prepared and very good. The service was great. Accommodating on time, patient and followed up on table touches and meal satisfaction. Not overly loud. No outrageous music or eccentric ambiance to try to accommodate the Democratic or age which was nice. Good drink choices and holiday choices. Overall a good place to take a date, family, company meeting, etc. reputable, quality food with vast choices and good service. read more
