While I was living in the far East Valley, the Monkey and I frequented Liberty Market on a regular basis. I have to say that the EV has an over abundance of chain restaurants, which LM is definitely not. Their breakfast choices are hearty and well proportioned and not your run of the mill choices. Although I am a meat eater, the Vegetable Scramble with biscuit and potatoes made me happy and didnt make me miss the breakfast pig at all. And the griddled bread pudding is scrumptious, but wasnt a big enough portion compared to their other choices. The coffee bar is a treat but even I must admit that the bowl of latte is even a little much for me.
I've only been to LM a couple of times for lunch or dinner and really cant recall any favorites there, except for the side dishes. Those are all exceptional. I've even purchased the Sweet Potato Salad to go to serve at a company potluck.
The one downfall for me at LM, and really of any EV dining establishment (which seems to be the case in the EV moreso than in other parts of the Valley), is that it is definitely frequented by all family members. I'm only 40, but I grew up thinking going to McDonalds was a special treat and mom & dad were never afraid to hire a babysitter when they dined out or we all just stayed home. I realize this isnt going to win me any brownie points with those who have pro-created , but I wish more parents would realize that not everyone enjoys little Johnny's slobber and shrieks and running around barefoot during an otherwise potentially enjoyable dining experience.
