Libby’s Southern Comfort: Authentic Southern Comfort Food Experience in Covington

Booked ahead because thats what was suggested. Sunday reservation at 10:30am. Not busy. Eventually, more people came but it never felt crowded. We ordered bottomless mimosas and the hush puppies as an appetizer. They were amazing. I ordered the Duveneck Classic, extra bacon and it was delicious. Everything else I saw come out of the kitchen looked equally as appetizing. We stayed for quite a long time. The waitress had no problem with that and continued to be her attentive self. Thank you. We will be back.

The food was good. (The wife wanted more southern choices). The portobello sandwich was messy but tasty. You’ll just need to ask for extra napkins. The hot honey chicken sandwich was tasty as well, would have preferred it to be a little more messy though. The seasons fries were crispy and had great flavor. We liked the atmosphere, it was open with a rustic decor. We were there during great weather so it was open air which made it even more pleasant. Service was very good. Definitely recommend.

Libby’s was very crowded when we visited, but despite that, it was surprisingly quiet, which made the experience more enjoyable. The inside of the restaurant was quite cold—cold enough that the hostess was wearing her coat. We didn’t sit outside, but we did like the idea that they offer a closed-in outdoor patio with heated lamps, which looked both cozy and pretty. It would have been even nicer if the small lanterns on the window ledges had been working. For our meals, my husband had the Charlie Brown sandwich and I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo—both were enjoyable. Our server, Kelee, was very sweet and accommodating, which really stood out and added to the experience. We finished with the carrot cake, which had good flavor but was unfortunately a little stale. Overall, a decent experience with friendly service and some nice touches, even on a very busy night.

What a treat! My friend and I ventured down from Ohio and boy are we glad we did. Libby's was a true 5/5 experience. Our waitress was extremely friendly and recommended the fried chicken skins which turned out to be one of the best things we had each ever eaten. I also got the Oyster Po-boy which was perfection on bread. We will absolutely be back. I adored the interior and decorations which made the small restaurant seem much larger than it really is. Everything here was the best it could have been. Fresh, perfectly fried oysters, delicious arugula, fresh tomatoes etc. I don't think I could say something negative if I tried. Prices were in-line with other restaurants but the food quality was well above average so I can't knock it there either. If you're eating out in 2026 or beyond, make it a quality restaurant like this one and skip the fast food.

First time trying Libby’s and the food did not disappoint. The fried chicken sandwich was massive and the batter was light and crispy. I could eat this sandwich weekly. The fries were 10/10 and the flavor on the oyster po boy was great; super soft bread. Service was attentive and drinks were good. The dessert menu looked incredible. I was really hoping the crème pies were available, sadly sold out! We snagged a bread pudding to go and it barely made it home! We will definitely be throwing Libby’s into our dinner rotation.

The food was great!! I had green fried tomatoes and a fried bologna sandwich. The collards are a little too spicey for me. Our waiter was great! Remembered our order without even writing it down! And got me green beans and mashed potatoes after the spicey collards. And the Bourbon slushie was out is this world!! Will definitely come back here.
