A Family Affair

Liberatore's Family

A Culinary Legacy

The Liberatore Family established its first restaurant in Eldersburg, Maryland, in 1988, offering predominantly Italian cuisine. The brand expanded with the opening of Lib’s Grill in Perry Hall in December 2013, a neighborhood Grill & Raw Bar celebrated for fresh seafood, specialty steaks, craft beers, boutique wines, and unique cocktails. Guests dictate their experiences, allowing Lib’s Grill to deliver exceptional hospitality.

The Lib’s Grill Brand expanded towards the Washington DC market, opening the second location in Fulton, Maryland, in December 2017. The family continued to spread their hospitality and focus on quality food by opening Lib’s Grill Bel Air in September 2022.

All Lib’s Grill locations share a common menu featuring an extensive selection from the InHouse Raw Bar, unique signature dishes, and classic favorites. The cuisine, characterized by high quality and value, adapts to the evolving world of personalized dining, allowing patrons to enjoy their meals at their own pace. Lib’s Grill stands out with its wide variety of micro-beers and boutique wines, ensuring that foodies, celebrants, and everyday diners find top quality and service without needing to travel downtown.
