Libby’s Neighborhood Brasserie

Libby’s  is a local favorite for sandwiches like the Krabby Patty (blue crab and local gulf shrimp), its juicy brisket burger, garlicky shrimp scampi, and fall-off-the-bone Dr. Pepper ribs.  A $29, 8-ounce sirloin with garlic herb butter, Yukon gold mashed potatoes, and veg of the day is a downright bargain. Homemade strawberry shortcake is a dessert specialty. Happy hour specials are daily, with all day happy hour on Mondays and Tuesdays.  A second location is in the planned residential of Lakewood Ranch at 8445 Lorraine Road (tel. 941/357-1570).
