Absolutely Flawless Quality and Service.
You really wouldn't expect a place like this to be where it is -- in an converted drive-in hamburger joint a mile outside a sleepy Vermont town. However, if you have a taste for the finest meat and seafood, you'll be glad you found the place.
It's convenient to both Kingdom Trails and Burke Mountain, being mere minutes from both.
My son and I enjoyed spectacular Faroe Island salmon tonight (I've rarely tasted better), and regularly go for their hand-selected (and local, if possible) beef, lamb, pork, poultry and seafood. They feature a wide variety of hand-made sausage. The service is attentive and gracious.
They have Halal offerings in meats that apply.
Don't expect bargain basement prices, or to dash in and get a large custom order filled if you're short of time. It's a busy place offering premium products. For large orders, they have a well-organized web site, and a call ahead is recommended. Virtually every cut of meat is hand-trimmed to order, and can take a few minutes. They take great care and pride in this. The service is always outstanding. After a few visits, you'll be greeted by name.
A few items to check out: The lamb steak, which makes a lovely presentation on the grill. The prime London Broil, which is as flavorful a steak as I've eaten, and frankly a bargain. It will change your perceptions of this cut.
The owner drives to Maine in the wee hours of the morning to collect fresh lobster, and the their selection of fresh (not frozen) seafood is perhaps the tastiest in the state, although limited in scope.
Libbey's is clean, friendly, and down-to-earth . It's truly honest value as well. These are not food snobs. These are food enthusiasts who take great pride in what they do, and they do that exceptionally well.
