TO EAT: Libby's in Lexington, SC

Location: Libbys, Lexington, SC
To Eat or Not to Eat?....... Eat and then eat again!!

Oh, so many good things to say about this place....... The food is great! The staff are polite and friendly. The management staff comes out to meet and greet. They're always busy, so you know you can't just take my word for it.

The restaurant is clean and pleasant. Once again,  you've heard me say this about other places.....it's truly not an insult,....but this is not your five-star restaurant. It's your local, casual, where-do-we-want-to-go-tonight, "pick of the litter" joint. Great pizzas, great calzones, yummy shrimp and grits, and a YOU-HAVE-GOT-TO-TRY-THIS Asian Steak Wrap!!  Could the kitchen be a little less cluttered and more organized? Yeah, probably so, but it's heavily used....not the they-never-clean kind of clutter. Could they use some swinging doors between the kitchen and sitting/waiting areas? Yeah, probably so....but that's asthetics.  If you don't like the way it looks on the inside, they even have patio seating outdoors!

I highly recommend Libby's to anyone looking for a good meal any night (even every night) of the week. You won't go wrong. I recommend them so much, that they even get a 'pass' from me for the one time that they did something MOST restaurants would not get away with. Just one time (out of many MANY visits), we ordered a burger plain (that means no cheese, no nothing...). The kitchen got a little hasty, slapped cheese on the burger and then peeled it off after they realized what they had done. The sent it to the table that way . (Oooops!) I caught it instantly, had a nice little chat with the manager and waitress, got the correct responses and witnessed the situation being handled properly in the kitchen. I can assure you this 'uh oh' will never occur again at Libby's....not for me or for anyone else. Good job, guys!! You handled it well. You get an 'A' from me.

So, long story, short....To Eat or Not to Eat? You don't even have to finish the thought....just go.....you'll be glad you did!
