Hear from our valued guests
My family and I are from Louisiana and this restaurant reminded us of home. As soon as you walk in the front door, you can sense the warm welcome. Not only is the ambience great but so was the service and food. We loved the spinach and artichoke dip, Poboys, pasta dishes, fried green tomatoes, just to name a few. If you were looking for authentic New Orleans style food, be sure to check out this place.
Fantastic spot - we came for lunch but it would be great for date night! We had the shrimp and grits, and the shrimp and gritcake - so amazing! And Jayleiana was a sweet and attentive server - outstanding job 👏🏻👏🏻
Definitely a gem in Brandon. Service was A-1! Decor and Vibez: UP 🔥🎇🫡 Food: Damn good for Florida and large portions. Wife and I will be back!
We were there for a baby shower, we had about 50 guests in our party. Guy and Brianna were our servers, EVERYTHING was excellent!! We received our drinks, appetizers and food timely. They handled our big party better than any other time that I've been a part of a large party at a restaurant. They provided service with a smile and never showed frustration or irritation. They really made my first experience a wonderful experience. The whole group was happy and had a pleasant experience ☺️. The food was hot, delicious and tasty! I will definitely return in the near future!
Food and atmosphere were good. Appetizers Honey crystal shrimp, very good, tails are fried and breaded as well. Boudin rolls, almost like southwest eggrolls, would order again. Fried green tomatoes with crayfish sauce, nice and crisp, crayfish sauce less than memorable. Entrees Muffaletta, this sandwich is huge, a half is more than filling unless you take the other half home! Shrimp and grits cakes Monica style, not bad, not much flavor, id skip it. Overall, great food, service, decent prices, will return.
Crawfish Mac was a great appetizer! Drinks were good. Enjoyed my catfish & craw basket! Husband liked his food too. Service was good. Will be back!
Our first time ⏲️ here. It's like being in Mardi Gras in the south. The food 😋 was great 👍. She had the catfish with cheddar with grits. I had the romaine salad with chicken 🐔. We also had some powdered beignets for dessert. We loved it here. Our server for tonight was Natacha . She was very helpful to us.
We came here for my son's 18th birthday and had a great time. Our server, Breanna, was fantastic! She offered recommendations that were spot on. The food was delicious and the drinks were really good as well! We had the onion rings, spinach dip, and fries with gravy as appetizers. The po' boys were huge! The ettoufe was delicious! Get coffee and beneigts for dessert!
I love this place one of my favorite happy hour places to go. They have awesome gator bites and fried green tomatoes in the entrées and sandwiches are delicious too, All with a Louisiana flavor done, right!. I’ve been here twice same bartender and he makes the best hurricane ever you must go. Try one. Tell him Eliza sent you Lol This restaurant has beautiful decorations, colorful, and just a great atmosphere and great service. It’s a must go try.

Each dish brought its own unique flavors and showcased the rich culinary traditions that make New Orleans cuisine so special. The gumbo was rich and comforting, the shrimp and grits were perfectly balanced with layers of flavor, and the Cajun Chicken Pasta delivered just the right amount of spice and creaminess. Even the salad was far from ordinary, offering fresh ingredients and excellent flavor that elevated it well beyond a typical starter. What stands out most about Tibby's is the consistency. Every visit has delivered outstanding food, generous portions, and an experience that feels both fun and memorable.
