You need to stop scrolling and give me your eyes cause you got to read this review…read more ***Special edition, excited Southerner best food by far in Maryland to date*** It's Friday night, we wanna try something we haven't gone to yet..we end up in Perry Hall and we go to Lib's Grill.. so this location is right down from Liberatore's Ristorante A glass of Cabernet, J got a lemon basil crush Split 6 LGO MD raw oysters big juicy and so flavorful Got the crab deviled eggs, eyes rolled back in our head y'all.. But Here's where it just got interesting Vodka chicken Parmesan.. sounds simple right I Cannot Express the TBO J and I both had with our first bite.. When I tell you that the Pasta, I mean the noodles y'all, the pasta was the best pasta we've ever had...amazing and then the chicken Parm was juicy, crisp on the outside, baked cheesy on top... just probably the best chicken Parm we've ever had.. put two of them together and I just can't even finish thi..... Okay just kidding, I've got to finish to tell you about the amazing people behind the incredible food.. We told Patrina that we weren't from around here and it was our first time at Lib's.. She was the best first impression you could have had... told us the history of the Lib family how they are the Perry Hall staple of the area. Vic was our server and he was wonderful, answering questions and very knowledgeable. Michelle was the mgr on the evening we were there and came out when we wanted to rave over the meal... when she found out we were new to the area, she came back to the table with her top picks for dining in the area. Really... wow! The deck was enclosed but was an open space that made you feel like you were outside without the draft. I could go on and on, but really, stop reading and navigate here Right now What makes you think I'm kidding Put down that mediocre food This is way better than what your stuffing your face with Y'all

2/15/26 Update!…read more 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! :)

The inside is much nicer looking than the outside, but they have an extremely limited food menu (tacos, crab cake, pizza, or quesadilla). As far as drinks, they were out of a lot of things. No coconut rum, I took the last white claw, etc. The bartender was very nice but a tad too chatty for my liking. They do have a beer pong table, claw machine, and jukebox. Overall it's very underwhelming.

We ended up with leftovers and couldn't stop thinking about them through the night into the morning.

Our…read moreserver was very friendly and mostly attentive, aside from one time she forgot to get another drink we asked for. But besides that she was good. I ordered the ribeye without all the fuss, asparagus and a side Cesar salad. The steak was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. The asparagus was well seasoned but slightly undercooked. The other person in my party got a pepperoni pizza and said it was delicious. The reason we came here is because we saw that they have a DJ on Saturday nights, but when we arrived we were surprised that it would even be a possibility as the place is pretty small. I guess I was picturing a restaurant more like the old Della Roses at the avenue. But a DJ did come at 9, to our surprise. However, the place is too small for a dance floor and the DJ wasn't really doing anything differently than what the restaurant was already doing as far as music is concerned. Overall we enjoyed the food and had good service, but I think we had different expectations regarding ambiance.

The Chicken Parmesan sandwich I had last night was on point and my girlfriend had a very good chicken quesadilla as well. Prices are pretty reasonable. My only beef is with the service. The bar is a little "cliquey" from several observations. The regulars seem to get waited on immediately and a newcomer gets a "I'll be right with you". No placemats, no silverware, no napkins seems to be the norm. Had to ask for ketchup when my fries came out after getting chips by mistake. We will most likely go back though, especially since The Bird River Inn changed their whole menu and did away with most of our favorite menu items. Everything is smoked now and very salty. If you're looking for ambience, you may want to try somewhere else. The Dugout is a hole in the wall dive bar and has been for decades...just the way the regulars like it!

We stopped by this bar after kayaking at Mariner State Park on a Monday evening. Dugout Tavern is…read moreout of the way from the rest of the busy streets, but it is worth stopping by. They have one pool table where APA league members usually play, a shuffle board, and a number of TVs for sports games (although they are not HD). I could tell this was a local go-to for many of the customers at this bar especially since they all seemed to know each other. Our bartender was very friendly with helping us decide what to order. We got the Belly Buster Fried Fish sub ($8.99), with a side of fries (an extra $2) and Italian Cold Cut ($9.50), with a side of chips (free), along with a Loose Cannon ($5.00) & Grapefruit Crush ($6.00). The subs were pretty good. The fried cod (I believe it was) was nice and crispy and the tartar sauce paired perfectly to cut the richness of the grease. The portion was definitely money's worth. The cold cuts in my sub were fresh. There was enough acid to not make the bread soggy. The grapefruit crush was very icy. I noticed the bartender made it by blending a grapefruit fruit cup with ice and some grapefruit-vodka. When I was done with my first drink, she poured the rest of the mixture from the blender into my glass, which I thought was very nice. All in all, dugout tavern is a hidden gem that has great food and service. There is also parking on site and outdoor seating.

While there were options to accommodate a gluten-free diet, the selection of dedicated gluten-free items was somewhat limited.

On the plus side my family enjoyed the ribs and crab balls. On the negative side, the fish in my fish and chips was painfully thin and small. Normally you get a nice chunky piece of fish when you get fish and chips. Not only that, l've never had fish and chips where the skin was on the fish. I left most of the skin behind, but ate some of it because the portion was so small. I had to eat something. Please have the chef look up what fish and chips is supposed to look like. Despite being the only server, our wait person was outstanding - it wasn't their fault that they had to handle the entire dining room. . Also appreciated the carafe of water on the table - but why no ice -had to drink lukewarm water. Make sure to ask for prices upfront and verify-for a single crabcake entrée, we paid $63 when it's advertised online as 30. Let the buyer beware.. Wouldn't feel a need to return at this point, too many other better options.

The server seemed really overwhelmed. Forehead glistened, seemed rushed in every engagement with our table, didn't bring water until we asked. My guess is that she had too many tables. It took 10 minutes after we were seated for her to take our dinner order. I had to wait another 10 minutes for her to bring out the one beer.that we ordered. The food came out within reason which was a relief. Customers should be aware that this place is really loud. This isn't a complaint. It's purely a warning to those who may be looking for a quaint dinner experience. There is loud music in the background, other customers are banging tables/crabs with mallets, and the space is crowded with people trying to talk over the background noise.
