Very fresh and tasty. Because it's new, there were a few things that needed to be worked out. But, it was 5 o'clock and we had nowhere to be. Go check it out, and ask for the cheese fries!

No problem--it's a new restaurant, so that's understandable. What surprised us was the response when I asked what burgers they did have. The person on the phone said, "Umm... I don't know... umm... you'll need to figure out what you want and call back. I can't sit on the phone with you; I have more important things to do." Needless to say, my mouth dropped open, and I was stunned. My reply: "Wow. Thank you for the information--that will certainly make for quite a memorable review." Sad, because the food is pretty good. We enjoyed taking clients there. Well, I guess they have more important things to tend to than customers... Makes me sad.

I stopped at this location for takeout, as it is closer to my home in Houston. When I & my appetite arrived home, we were severely disappointed to find these ridiculously small & unseasoned dinners. I can't help feeling that I was robbed. I can't believe that I paid $30.27 for this. Is this what they serve everyone, or was I treated unfairly?

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 bar is always lively, creating an energetic atmosphere, while the servers move with impressive efficiency to provide attentive, friendly service--even during the busiest hours. The standout dish is undoubtedly the chicken-fried steak, which offers exceptional flavor, generous portions, and outstanding value. It's easily one of the best in town for both quality and price. The dining room is spacious and comfortable, though its popularity means it fills up quickly. On Friday evenings, a brief 5-10 minute wait is common, but the food, service, and inviting ambiance make it well worth your patience.

If you love hush puppies, this place is a must. Bison chopped steak ordered rare with gravy on the side was exceptional. Fried shrimp and onion rings were crisp and tasty. Seafood gumbo was delicious with a strong kick of spice! Salad was a nice medley of greens. Finished with a delightful peach cobbler. They were out of bread pudding, so we definitely have to go back! Highly recommend this place. We also went shopping at two stores on the square. It made for a perfect Saturday afternoon I forgot my phone at home. I will update my review with pictures when we return.
