We used to live in Livingston and the Whistle Stop was always one of our favorite places for lunch…read more We moved out of town so we were so glad to be able to take the short trip to Livingston and stop at the Whistle Stop for lunch. The food and service did not disappoint us. Our waitress was very efficient and friendly. We ordered a Club Sandwich with sweet potato fries and a BLT with one trip to the salad bar. Both were tasty and we left them with clean plates. The coffee was hot and fresh and our waitress continued to refill them throughout the meal. Restaurant was clean as were the rest rooms. Vintage decor and pictures give the place an old fashioned appearance. We will certainly return when we can and highly recommend it when you are in town.

This is not our first trip to Whistlestop...our first trip was memorable for my husband, and so…read moretoday......We stopped in here with the grandkids for a quick bite, as we were camping nearby. Breakfast buffet was mediocre at best, ruben sandwich was ok, but nothing special. Fried chicken salad was a chicken breast that had zero seasoning, just floured and fried, on a bed of warm chopped lettuce with a few wisps of carrots. Breakfast ordered ala cart, grand kid loved the pancakes, but scrambled eggs were watery, and bacon he ordered never arrived. Our food was dropped off along with the check, and a thank you, a refresh of drinks, or just checking back in with us never happened. It was like our server just disappeared. They have replaced the carpet and painted since our last visit, but it doesn't make up for the mediocre food. Not sure we'll make another visit.

Farmhouse Cafe is our go to lunch spot whenever in the area and we have never been disappointed! We…read morewere greeted and seated immediately. They warm up the table with this amazing cornbread & hot rolls Today I had the fried catfish with fries and coleslaw. It was deliciously light & flaky but so filling I only ate 1 filet. The coleslaw was the best I've ever had! Ever! And I don't normally eat/like hush puppies but I always try and thumbs up; different from what I've tried in years past. My husband had the chicken fried steak with okra & mashed potatoes which I got a 'it was good' response which really means... he ate all of it with no complaints. Lol very rare to get a 'fantastic' or 'delicious' outta him. There are no booths, which is my preferred dining experience but we're not here for the comfort! The table was a little wobbly but I didn't care, I love staring at the pie shelf while dining! Nicely country style decorum. Great food delivered quickly with a smile! prices are inline with the quality/quantity! Thank you! Happy New Year!

An appetizer main and dessert We got served some fresh cornbread and dinner rolls and also had fried pickles and hot wings. Then we had the chicken fried chicken and different sides. Finally we had banana pie and coconut pie as dessert. I know we ordered lots of fried food and it was good. The pies were not good. The banana was all brown and the coconut time was so thick and not good at all. I will go back if I visited the town again

We ordered the daily special of burnt ends with potato salad and beans and the fried shrimp with fries and slaw. The coleslaw is the BEST I have ever had!! Burnt ends were juicy while still having crispy edges. The shrimp were huge and fresh. While ambiance is that of a backroad diner, the food and service gives this place 5 stars. We will try the ribs next time. If you have a hankering for comfort food, wrap yourself in some warm, delicious, tastes like home cooked meals.

I finally made it out to Blue Duck Kitchen & Bar and honestly, it exceeded every expectation I had…read more This isn't just another local restaurant -- it's the kind of place that makes you genuinely look forward to going out to eat. Right from the start, the atmosphere hit the perfect balance: lively and inviting but not overwhelming. Whether you're heading there for a casual dinner, drinks with friends, or a date night, it feels comfortable and relaxed without ever feeling generic. The décor and layout are thoughtful -- not flashy, but definitely memorable. The menu? Outstanding. Every dish I tried was clearly prepared with real skill, not just thrown together. The flavors were bold without being heavy, fresh without being confusing, and absolutely balanced. I started with an appetizer that was creative and flavorful, and each course that followed kept building on that good first impression. Portions were generous, too -- plenty of food without feeling like you're overstuffed. What really sold me was how every plate tasted intentional. You can tell the kitchen cares about the details -- the way flavors layered, the way textures played off each other, and even how each dish looked when it was served. That kind of consistency is rare, even at places that think they're fine dining. Service was equally impressive. Our server wasn't just friendly, they were attentive without hovering, knew the menu well, and offered recommendations that genuinely improved our meal. It's always nice when staff can talk about food like they actually enjoy it themselves -- it makes the whole experience feel a lot more personal. I left feeling completely satisfied -- not just because the food was great, but because the entire evening felt thoughtful from start to finish. If you want a place in Livingston that combines quality food, a great vibe, and service that actually elevates the experience, Blue Duck Kitchen & Bar is absolutely worth your time. Five stars well earned -- I'll definitely be returning.

The wife and I finally had time to make a point to stop and were not disappointed. We enjoyed the small town atmosphere and hospitality. My sweet tea was some of the best I have had. Ordered onion rings which was really good. Wife ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. I ordered the large chicken fried steak with okra and mashed potatoes. We each ate one of the large onion rings. Then our meals came out which we both thought were really good. No way we could finish our meals so had to get to go boxes. I had enough chicken fried steak to eat on that night for supper and the next day for lunch. Will definitely make a point to go back again!
