We traveled almost 4 hours for this experience. We’ll worth the drive. The hostess was friendly and we were sat almost immediately. Our server Kristina was top notch. We literally didn’t have to ask for a thing. She watched over our table and anticipated our needs. The owner came by our table to introduce himself and welcome us. He sent over a complimentary sticky toffee pudding. It was divine. We will be back.

I realized I hadn’t shared my thoughts on The Library Steakhouse, and I’m excited to do so! It’s such a creative concept, transforming our old local library into a dining experience. On my recent visit with my husband, he enjoyed a delicious NY strip, while I savored the medallion cut paired with lobster tail, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. Each dish was bursting with flavor and cooked flawlessly. We couldn’t stop raving about our fantastic meal, and we’re eagerly planning our next visit. Shout-out to our server, Brittany — she served with excellence and a bit of comic relief, which we loved! The Library Steakhouse is on our bestseller list; we highly recommend it!

My husband and I had a micro wedding and decided to have our wedding reception at The Library Steakhouse. It was an AMAZING experience from start to finish! When I tell you I was nervous to plan this, but planning with The Library was actually fun and stress free. I have to start with the food because it was absolutely amazing. All our guests told us it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. Our menu was carefully curated with dishes and drinks we loved (see menu in photos). Perri was so helpful and walked us through everything. Every email was promptly answered and she spent time with us in person as well for planning. She even helped me with the decor, and the moment I walked into the room I started tearing up because it was everything I dreamt of. Huge thank you to The Library Steakhouse and staff! You made our reception dream come true!

The Library setting is a former library and from the moment we walked into the Lobby we were met with a warm smile and friendly welcome. At our table our server, Brittany, was fantastic. Her warm, friendly demeanor helped set the tone for a perfect evening. Everyone’s meal was expertly prepared! We also enjoyed sampling a couple delicious desserts; hot chocolate lava cake and carrot pound cake both with a scoop of premium vanilla ice cream. The Library is now on our list of best places to go for steak.

This was a fantastic dining experience! Beautiful renovation keeping with the library’s theme but updating it with leather and crystal and warm wood and deep green walls. Our server was fantastic. She was attentive and helpful without hovering and very engaging. She made us feel welcome and cared for. The food was amazing. We got the crab dip, prime rib dinner and the steak and lobster tail special, and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. The meat was perfect. The potatoes crispy and fluffy. The dip divine. But the star was, I kid you not, the Brussel sprouts. Someone in the kitchen practices black magic because there is no other way that Brussel sprouts could taste THAT good. Fuquay has needed a steakhouse for a LONG time and The Library is setting a high bar. Highly recommend anyone in the area to head here for date night.

I came tonight to celebrate my dad’s birthday who passed 2 years ago and we had a fantastic experience. I got the 8 oz filet which was part of the Thursday night steak special. It was cooked to perfection; the red potato mash phenomenal but most of all the front of the house staff was exceptional. Everyone was courteous, attentive, and confident. Wonderful theme, adorable cocktail names, on point…

This place is design so well. Inside it’s such a fantastic vibe. The service was great. Some of our food was great and some was just ok. My salmon was over cooked very crispy outside as a our appetizer risotto balls lacked flavor but my husbands prime rib was on point all sides were delicious

Just went last night with my wife for dinner. The atmosphere is really nice and plenty of space at our booth. The service was outstanding. David was our server and he briefed us on all the specials and he would readily answer any questions that I had regarding the menu. The food was outstanding. Our steaks were cooked perfectly to order. The compound butter that was on my steak was absolutely delicious. My steak also came with grape tomatoes that had the most flavor of any grape tomatoes I’ve ever tasted!!!! The house salad was served with an amazing white vinaigrette. The cocktails were awesome as well. Can’t wait to visit The Library again hopefully sooner than later.
