One thu night in Oct the gf and i decided we were in the mood for some Eastern Euro food. You know, dumplings, goulash, schnitzel, the works. I had heard good things about Liba's as a great, no frills option and we were not disappointed.
I sorta felt like Jerry Seinfeld entering Babu Bhatt's World Cafe as we were the only ones in the place. A little surprising as I had seen a bustling Liba's while driving by a few times. Regardless... we had the attention of the nice lady who was working both the tables and the kitchen. As an app, we shared the Slovakian street food staple smaený sýr (I like alliterations) aka fried cheese. It doesn't sound super healthy - and it's not - but boy is it good with a cold beer (0.5 l Krombacher on tap for $6.50!) to wash it down. For the mains, the gf had fried sole with hand-cut fries. The fish was good but the fries and the dill sauce stole the show. I had the goulash with dumplings and was not disappointed. The goulash meat was nice and tender and the spicing was perfect. The dumplings were just ok - perhaps if we went on a busier night, they would've been made "more fresh."
We did not have the schnitzel - which other yelp reviewers have raved about - so we definitely have a reason to go back!
Final rating: 3.5/5 but I'll round up to 4.
Would I go again?: Yes, and i'll have the schnitzel next time for sure... extra dill sauce please!
In a sentence: A great, no-frills option when you're in the mood for some hearty Slovak/Czech food.
