If you are looking for super casual, laid back, down home southern cooking you have found it at…read moreFlorida's Kitchen! The food was excellent!! 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.

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.

He set a very nice buffet table and provided all of the plates, napkins, and utensils. After all of it he cleaned up and packed the leftovers. Now for the food: AMAZING! He knows his BBQ. Great brisket, sausage, and chicken. The sides were delicious. My wife and I, along with all of our guests, were very impressed. I will continue to use him for future events.
