Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Amazing! We stopped by after a long day in Yellowstone and decided to share an appetizer and entree because I thought I wasn’t terribly hungry, one bite into the Wild Walleye I decided I needed my own plate. The macadamia crusted walleye was one of the most amazing dishes I’ve ever eaten along with the layered rice and veggies. We also had the fried deviled eggs and they were awesome as well. Ashlee took great care of us and they are following Covid guidelines. You won’t be disappointed with the Livingston Bar & Grill.

Our family was driving around Livingston looking for a place to eat dinner. We saw that Livingston Bar & Grille was open so we decided to try it. First, the menu has fantastic food choices. So many, we couldn't really decide what we wanted. Since our group was large, we decided to order a lot of different things and try them all. We ordered salads, Brussel sprouts, braised beef with polenta, bolognese pasta, burgers, the shrimp pasta, the killer carrot cake and the chocolate mousse. We all licked our plates clean! Literally!! Absolutely delicious food. The waitress was so friendly! And management came by several times to check on us and thank us for coming in. I just wish this restaurant was located in our hometown of Summerfield, NC. If it was, we'd go weekly! You have to go visit this restaurant while you are in Livingston.

We had reservations and upon arrival were pointedly ignored by the hostess. Eventually we were seated, though it took quite a while. The server came and we ordered drinks, and my Mountain Mule was easily the worst I have ever had in history. We ordered dinner and my date's steak was inedible. Tough, really tough, chainsaw material tough. The walleye I ordered was as dry as the Mojave desert in July, and completely tasteless. This entire restaurant is an overhyped expensive nothing. Or server was nice enough, but for the price that I paid for dinner and one drink apiece, having a nice server isn't much compensation. This place is NOT a Montana experience. Or, maybe it is, but it's a bad experience. It's pretty disappointing to go somewhere that has so much potential, and find out that it doesn't live up to even a fraction of it. The upscale menu and the high prices, coupled with horrible food, drove us right out of being regular customers. Since the steak was so bad, I took it home in a to-go box and we had a memorial service for the poor steer that sacrificed it's life for being ravaged at the hands of the kitchen staff, then gave it a decent burial in the back yard. Weather permitting, there will be a vigil at the site at a date to be determined. I would hug a porcupine before I ever even gave thought to going to this place again. Ever.

Appetizers to salad course was fine but entrees delivered before three bites of salad. Literally 3-4 minutes. When challenged as to the inappropriate timing I was told they could take them back. Asking if they would be remade the response was no they just would be kept warm under heat lamps. Not appropriate for any of our entrees especially a rare $57 Rib Eye. A request was made to take the salads that were never finished off the bill. I was told there was nothing wrong with them and that there was no one in the restaurant that could approve the request.
Warning -- order each course separately!
With over 40 years of hotel, resort and restaurant operating and ownership experience this situation could have been easily avoided and would have kept us as future patrons.

We dined here for a late lunch. The service was lacking in that we listened to the server go on about wolves with one group of diners and then talking about his pancreas with other diners, all while waiting about 10 minutes for our drinks. The prime rib steak sandwich was like leftover roast beef served on white bread and the chicken sandwich did not come with coleslaw as advertised. We are locals and will never go back.

Wow, what a unique and delicious menu!! We couldn’t decide what to get since everything looked so great, so our little family of 5 shared a bunch of appetizers, a couple of dinners and a few desserts. EVERYTHING was amazing and perfectly prepared. We had a difficult time deciding what our favorite thing was, ultimately we agreed it was all awesome. To top it off the service was super friendly and helpful. Overall our experience exceeded our highest expectations!! We will most definitely be back and we highly recommend Livingston Bar and Grille.

We made a last minute reservation at this charming spot in Livingston and were so happy with our choice. The place is operating at low capacity due to COVID but still managed to have the feel of a bustling, cheerful establishment. The food was delicious, the cocktails terrific and the carrot cake dessert was out of this world! And in a note to great service, the attentive host/manager quickly agreed to move our table when we felt we were not "distanced" enough from another group. Adhering strictly to mandated safety protocols at a time like this isn't easy, so kudos to Livingston Bar and Grill for not only doing so but also offering such a memorable, special meal out on the town!

LB&G was an all around excellent experience!! From the historical and inviting dark wood bar to the large windowed dinning area it was a totally comfortable experience The menu offered a variety of options from protein and fish to pastas and salads . The food itself was carefully prepared outstanding. The staff was attentive and personable throughout both of our dinning opportunities. A must stop for anyone spending time in Livingston!!

We went to Livingston Bar & Grille because our first choice was not available. Lucky for us!! This place is beyond awesome. The name belies the quality. It is most definitely not bar food. It is, in fact, gourmet fine dining. My wife had the smoked pork, which was the best we had ever tasted. I had crusted Walleye, which was equally delicious. The wine list, while not extensive, was very discriminating and contained some outstanding and relatively rare selections. I actually bought a bottle to take home. If you plan to be in Livingston, or if you will be in Bozeman and are looking for a wonderful dining experience, consider this. By the way, the service is as good as the food. Five stars to th!is truly fantastic restaurant!

Dined here in COVID-19 times and were very, very impressed! The social distancing was very nicely handled by friendly masked staff offering paper menus.
The food was really good, fresh and local and perfectly cooked.
How good? We went back for the second night of our 2-day stay in Livingston.
We cannot recommend this place more highly. Eat here! It's really good!

We stopped here while in Livingston. We were so disappointed, They were out of the Lamb chops and one other item we wanted so 3 of us ordered cheeseburgers. All three were ordered MR but were charbroiled to the point of being crispy and crunchy. They were very dry and flavorless. One person ordered BBQ ribs and they too were overcooked and as dry as the bone.

After trying to find an open restaurant during in the middle of the week during Labor Day week, I finally decided to eat here based on the good reviews. Needless to say, the food did not live up to the expectations. I ordered barbeque ribs and they came out barely warm. It wouldn't surprise me if they weren't just some frozen packaged ribs. I would have ordered dessert but was afraid it wouldn't be worth the cost. It wasn't very crowded, but the good thing was that the service was decent at least.

Visited Livingston for a wedding. A really cute town. We had a lovely meal here. Trout was delicious and we enjoyed the smoked trout dip. Also one member had the steak which was amazing. Great service.

Possibly the worst service I have ever had! We were ignored for 15 minutes after being seated. Our waiter turned his back to us as he waited on the table next to us when we tried to get his attention. When we finally did get to place our order we had to ask 3 times to get water. Waiter continued to dote on the table next to us and did not check back on us again. We had to search out another waiter to get a steak knife after we were served. The restaurant was only 50% occupied so it wasn’t that they were too busy.
