Classic fried seafood is an art that involves not only the best seafood, but also getting the batter perfectly seasoned and golden brown – every single time. Libby Hill Seafood has been around for more than 50 years and has perfected the craft of yummy seafood – and then piles it high on the plate, making sure you’ll have a good chance to enjoy it again – later, at home.

The restaurant has a few locations in North Carolina (Greensboro, Reidsville, and Mount Airy) and it’s their Mount Airy location we’re featuring here.

TripAdvisor/Daniel B If you’ve never ventured out of downtown when visiting Andy Griffith’s Mayberry, USA, town, then do… and head straight toward the Mayberry Mall parking lot when you’ll find the stand-alone restaurant, Libby Hill, at the entrance.

Libby Hill’s first location opened more than half a century ago in Greensboro and then the goodness spread from there.

TripAdvisor/lakeman51 The roomy restaurant doles out an atmosphere that’s family-friendly and features a staff that gets nearly as many raves as does the food.

The menu features both small plates and a Captain’s portion.

TripAdvisor/Daniel B If you order the Captain’s portion, then be prepared for a mountain of seafood. And if you really want to be sure you have a big variety of leftovers for later, order the Combination Platter.

The Combination Platter gives you a choice of three of the seafood selections.

TripAdvisor/Neal R Choose from Alaskan Whitefish Fillets, Country or Cajun Catch (of the day), Flounder Fillets, Perch Fillets, Catfish, Calabash Shrimp, Fantail Shrimp, Oysters, Clam Strips, Scallops, Fish Bites, Deviled Crab, and Fried Salmon. For those who want to add chicken to the platter, choose from Chicken Tenders or Bites.

Concerned about cholesterol? That’s no problem at Libby Hill. You can get your fish broiled or steamed.

TripAdvisor/MariefromGeorgia And if you’re concerned about your waistline, Libby Hill also serves sandwiches, salads, and soups.

Who says you have to go all the way to the coast for delicious seafood?

TripAdvisor/MariefromGeorgia Libby Hill brings the seafood to you!
