We stopped here while traveling. This was not a place I would recommend. First of all, the vibe in…read morethere was just weird. There were more employees than customers, and several of them seemed to be in a bad mood. The food was decent, but also priced kind of high for the quality and portions. Perhaps the most annoying part is that we were overcharged. At that point, I was just ready to get out of there and paid my bill and left.

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.

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.

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.

They either ignore requests to remove things or the kitchen doesn't read the ticket and makes it their way.

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.

The shrimp and the chicken tenders meal I got was great. They did accommodate me with a food issue which I'm grateful for. The hamburger was very huge and juicy. They do charge extra for cheese ($1.50) and grilled onions ($1.00), but over all the food was good. At the bottom of the receipt you can see where they add a "non-cash fee" automatically to the bill.

The fries were cold, the burger was sloppy and cold, and the tacos were overcooked and greasy. To make matters worse, there were flies and gnats around the restaurant, which made it hard for us to eat. On top of that, the workers seemed very confused and moved very slowly, which made the whole visit even more frustrating.
