A former 1882 stagecoach stop turned into Livingston's own version of "Cheers," this place has a lot of character before you even look at the menu. We stopped in for lunch and were glad we did. We started with the homemade chili soup, which was hearty and full of flavor. It had that slow-simmered taste you hope for on a cool day. For mains, we ordered the Landmark Burger and the Chicken Quesadilla. The burger came loaded with cheese fondue, bacon, frizzled onions, lettuce, and tomatoes on a soft brioche bun. It was messy in the best way and cooked just right. The quesadilla was packed with pepper jack and cheddar, served with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and salsa. Simple, solid, and satisfying. Portions were generous, so come hungry. The food was good across the board, and they also have a nice beer list with plenty of options to pair with your meal. Overall, a comfortable, welcoming spot with good food and local charm. Definitely worth a stop in Livingston. read more

Cool historical place with crooked floors, stained glass, and homey, basic booths. Good pub food, especially the Landmark burger, giant pretzel, and super crispy fish & chips. Good prices, great service. read more

We didn't have any food as we had reservations elsewhere. But we decided we wanted a drink and we just sat at the bar . Bartender was on but a bit tooooo slow for an empty bar . So we just had a drink and left . read more

Livingston's only dive bar has gained its reputation for consistently turning out fresh pies and providing a local cozy home atmosphere. Fast service, too. read more

I have a soft spot for neighborhiid bars with beer and burgers. This one was founded in 1882 as a stage coach spot. I know they also have pizza and other items but I come here for a good burger and I am not disappointed. You can get other things like pizza, which I've never had, and French onion soup, which is excellent. I did have a salad with chicken and some of a shared Giant Pretzel with cheese, both of which were fine. But I come here for the burgers. The Landmark is a 10 oz Burger, cheese fondue, bacon, frizzled onion, lettuce, tomato on a brioche roll. The English Burger is a 4oz burger, English muffin, cheddar cheese. There's a plain burger in 4 or 8 ounces and if you want, you can add toppings like cheese, onion frizzles, mushrooms and bacon. Also available is a black bean burger, a salmon burger and a turkey burger. Every single burger I've had has been excellent. Only caveat is burgers do not come with fries, which you have to order separately. There's a decent selection of beer on tap and bottle selection is good, and there's a bar with a bar menu if that's what interests you. Service is prompt and friendly. The place is small and unassuming. Plus prices are reasonable. Four oz plain burger is $5.50, eight oz is $9 and the Landmark burger is $13. Really a great place. Try it! read more

On this inaugural venture of the @OldPubClub Steve & Steve and the #Pubbettes decided to checkout @TheLandmarkNJ in #LivingstonNJ This building has been around since before 1882 as a former stagecoach stop and tavern. It has changed owners and names multiple times but has operated as the appropriately named "Landmark" since 1960. Our table had an assortment of tasty cocktails and some well prepared pub fare. The long wooden bar and high back booths really added to the old pub atmosphere. With one wall covered with pictures from past St. Patrick's Days, you got the feeling that that is the best day to be there. The service was quick and everyone was so friendly. There was a nice selection of beers and we loved the music. 4 thumbs up from the #OldPubClub #TheLandmark read more

Delivery for old world pizza , burger and wings. Everything was ice cold, the pizza was thin as a cracker and just as dry. the wings were dried out. Burger ordered medium was definitely well done and also dry. Gave 2 stars only because I wonder if it was the drivers fault everything was ice cold. read more

I have been there in the past. However, this time I was disappointed. Service was OK, ambiance is that of a local bar. Food is subpar. The main reason for the 2 stars is that the charges for food on the bill do not match what is on the menu on the table. The amount of the mismatch isn't much, but it shouldn't occur at all. This is not about the credit card surcharge which is extra. Either this is poor management, or dishonesty on the part of the owner. It will be a while until I am back. read more

I really wanted to try this local spot because my husband grew up in Livingston and used to be a regular hang out spot when he was in high school many ages ago.. and I heard about the place from other people so I just had to come by and try for myself! We ordered the Thai pizza, jalapeño popper, tater tots, calamari, landmark burger, and chef salad. Jalapeño peppers were by far the least crunchy jalapeno peppers I've ever had... like I expected it to have a crunch to them but nope. Tastes quite soggy and not the least spicy. Not sure what part of the Thai pizza was Thai but we enjoyed our pizza. It's thin crust just the way we like it and doesn't feel heavy at all. Tater tots - a bit better than the jalapeno peppers but still lack the crunch you expect from something deep fried. Calamari - crunchiest out of the appetizers we got and goes well with their dipping sauce. Would recommend ordering this to start. I really enjoyed my chef salad - quite the large portion and definitely filled me up. Landmark burger was huge and had to be shared but definitely juicy and solid. Might pair well with a beer! Overall great for a local hangout spot but if you are looking for food quality, probably not the spot to hit. I can see this place fill up during sport nights and a place for young adults to hang out over a drink or two. read more

I have lived in the of Livingston most of my life and last night was the first time I stopped at Landmark! It's a humble little gem in Livingston! It is a small little restaurant with a bar, with about 6 tvs all around it. It was a nice friendly atmosphere and a nice waitress. I got the landmark burger and it was delicious and juicy. Wings were excellent as well! We also got fish and chips but we were a little disappointed with it so I didn't get a photo lol fish does not seem super fresh abs not as meaty as I thought it would. Overall this was a very good experience and we will definitely be back for another visit! read more

Usually would give 4 stars but tonight was different. Food was good as usual. However, the ambiance was atrocious. Our waiter looked completely disheveled, and the bartender I guess decided to match. Shortly after ordering, a waitress who didn't even take our order walked by our table with our apps just to ask OUR waiter where the proper table was. And the coup de grace was the group of loud and tipsy women at the bar (one in particular who was intently focused on her alcohol consumption). I guess it's nothing new for middle aged single people to come here. Anyways, maybe it was just an off night, who knows. read more

I love their pizza, but I am never ordering delivery from them again We called them and placed an order for delivery. We waited an hour. We called back and they said the delivery guy left it on the front porch and told us to check and call back. We checked and called back, and they said the delivery guy said he left it on our front porch once again. We went back outside and checked. We looked at our house and all of our neighbors' houses, We called to tell them we never got the food and they said they would call the delivery guy once again. They told us that they called us multiples times, but when they told us the phone number, they had written down the wrong phone number. When they told us the address it was left at, it was the wrong address. So they got the wrong address, the wrong phone number, said they could not redeliver the food because the delivery guy went home, and only offered to refund the money. This used to be my favorite place, I love their pizza, but the service was absolutely atrocious. They were extremely rude on the phone, didn't believe us that we didn't get the delivery, and kept telling us that we don't answer our phone even though THEY wrote down the wrong phone number. Like maybe check the caller id? I don't know, I was totally turned off off by this experience. They weren't even sympathetic or the least bit apologetic. Save yourself the trouble, and go somewhere else. read more

Stopped here because it was literally the first place that my GPS suggested. What a great find! It's small inside, with dark wood and old dive-bar vibes. Don't get me wrong, I like that. It was not crowded so that was nice. The weather was horrific today, so I'm guessing that's why it wasn't that busy for lunch. There were 3 guys at the bar and I made 4. I got the French Onion Soup and the Landmark Burger. Didn't realize the burger didn't come with fries but that turned out to be okay cause that burger was delicious and quite filling. The soup was good too - very hot and tasty. I think the cheese was provolone and I do prefer swiss and/or gruyere -- but still, it was good. The bartender was friendly and refilled my diet coke several times. Glad I stopped here .. it was great! read more

A friend had recommended this place. Immediately liked the decor, already from the parking lot, and it even gets much better when you get inside. Absolutely love the look of the place. Bartenders are friendly as well. My honest impression when I left was that I was told that their bar pie is great, and I found it salty and disappointing. I left feeling like I surprisingly spent too much for what I got. If you're looking for a very charming spot to stop in for a drink, and friendly service at that, then this is not a bad choice at all. Maybe I caught them at an off moment, but the bar pie disappointed me. read more

Idk what happened to this place in this last year. They changed everything as far as the food goes. You can tell everything is frozen, the tuna-which was the best- is now full of mayo and gross. The service was AWFUL, the table was dirty, the food was bad. I used to tell everyone to go there, I will never be back and I will never tell anyone to go. read more

Great place for watching football or soccer games. Offer expansive menu delicious fresh pizzas, sandwiches, salads and burgers.Full bar and all drink options available. Family friendly atmosphere and kid food options available. Garlic pizza is great for sharing and a must Try!! read more

I am so sorry about the horrible attitude of the waitresses. After reading numerous reviews and eating there several dozen times, I have to call the rude wait staff refreshing. In the world of "Hi, I'm Brianna and I'm going to be taking care of you..." or "Can I start you off with some extreme nachos", the lack of formal introductions or upsale suggestions is a welcome change. They're tired. They work hard for their money. If bubbly effervesce is your choice, there is a Chilis or Applebees a short ride away. The place is a dive. A dive that serves really good food and drinks. Their pizza is great, their salads, meh. But their ribs are awesome and more than make up for the unimpressive salads. They also have a pay phone. I like places that have pay phones. You never see pay phones anymore. More places should have them. They bring back an era before waitresses became servers and felt it absolutely necessary to introduce themselves because God forbid someone fills out an annoying online survey and mentions that they didn't, they're screwed. The Landmark has no online survey and if they did, I would give them all 10s and yeses. Can't say that for their cheerier competition. And did I mention that they have a payphone? read more

I'm not picky, but I've got pretty simple taste. And because of that, I eat alot of grilled cheese. Cheese, bread. Bread, cheese. Maybe throw on some tomatoes for good measure. It's pretty much an unbreakable combo. I know grilled cheese well, and I also know that a grilled cheese craving can be hard to ignore. Because of that, I found myself at Landmark while running some errands in Livingston. Everything about Landmark was cute, minus the grilled cheese. I loved the small town feel -- you can definitely tell that it's the type of joint where everyone knows each other. They've got a very expansive menu with just about every type of fried and greasy option imaginable. There was cheap beer and football on every tv. But, amidst all of this awesomeness, my grilled cheese was lackluster, ill-prepared and just straight up upsetting. The bread was soggy and covered in butter, the cheese was haphazardly assembled and the tomatoes just tasted weird. The highlight of my meal was the pickle spear. My BF wasn't really feeling his wings either. We longingly gazed at the table behind us, where a couple was enjoying a bar pie that looked aceeeee. If there is a next time, I'll stay as far away from the grilled cheese as possible. read more

Great again! Back to their great burgers!! A must go. Seems like the menu went thru some changes since pandemic. Seems to be all back to the good ole days. Great food. Great Landmark salads. Best burgers...A gem once again! read more

Decent place. Nice selection. 5 people could share the pretzel appetizer. Good burgers. Drink specials. I'd go back.

Came in with my girlfriend and cousin for a bite to eat. I actually live in the town of Livingston. I've been to the Landmark several times but never had a burger here. I heard they have really good burgers, so I ordered a cheddar cheeseburger cooked medium. It was a good burger but I had much better. The burger doesn't come with any side and the only sides they have are 3 different kinds of french fries. No home fries and no baked potatoes which I'm not a fan of. The price of the burger was pricey for what you get. If it wasn't for the beef nachos, I would of left hungry still. It's definitely not a good choice if you want to eat somewhat healthier. It's a dive bar that's very small and noisy. On a more positive note... My cousin got a full rack of ribs and they were excellent. Meat falls right off the bone. Plus, the price was very fair at $20 and you get a large amount of French fries. Conclusion: if you have a big appetite and don't mind a small noisy dive bar with average at best customer service, come here and order the full rack of ribs. Great value and you will leave stuffed. Not the best burger joint. Most diners have better burgers. read more

The Landmark never disappoints for food, and always has a good selection of beers on tap. I like bringing out-of-towners here to show them what a good local One piece of advice to the waitstaff- if a customer asks for a cup of coffee, at the end of a meal (around $85 before tip)- brew a pot! Having worked in restaurants and delis, I know that the cost of brewing an entire pot is easily offset by what is charged for just one cup! read more

The Landmark - Great place to relax with drinks on the weekend! - American Near Me - Livingston, New Jersey

This is a favorite local eatery. It's Livingston's version of "Cheers", where "Everybody knows your name!" Families, from the area bring their children, grab a booth or table, to enjoy a simple but well prepared meal!! Many local adult "teams" come by to cap off the night, after a game!! The menu has some new offerings, and some very loyal patrons who go way back. There are many old standby favorites. Their pizza is super thin and very popular!! Ribs too!! Many special salads and other favorites keep folks coming in ( or ordering take-out) all night long. The building itself has a historic past and is a cherished part of Livingston's tradition! read more

This is a neighborhood spot that is big for locals. Go for the cold beer and conversation. The pizza is decent at best but for it to be in NJ it should be better. I ordered the buffalo wings and they tasted like ketchup. Ketchup in Buffalo sauce is blasphemy. I see the charm of this place close, homie, good drinks but don't go hungry. There are better restaurants in the vicinity. read more

Passed this place a thousand times - never stopped. Well, I am glad I finally did. Had dinner at The Landmark on a Friday night. Place was busy but no wait. Bud. Bar pie. Burger. I was quite pleased with my order. Bar pie had good flavor. Thin. Well cooked. Had The Landmark burger. It is better than Zagursky's. Anyone who knows the local bar scene knows that is a very high compliment. I savored every bite of that 10 oz burger. So good. This is a casual bar. Nice setting. Good, friendly service. Cheap prices for what you get. Will be back. Well done, Landmark! read more

I went to eat here with my family I guess it's been close to 6-8 months ago. The food was memorable. The fried chicken here used to be amazing. Big juicy pieces of honey chicken -yummy. And the fish and chips were freshly made, not from frozen. I was a regular for those. Well I went on a diet so I've been gone for a few but i needed to treat myself and my family last week...Boy have things changed! The fish was obviously not made on the premises and the chicken were tiny little pieces ...I never even saw a drumstick that tiny before. Both obviously from a frozen bag from the restaurant depot. I commend you for trying to keep your prices reasonable but not at the expense of the quality of your food! Please return to your old way of doing things your fish n chips were the best! Your honey fried chicken also the best. I would've gladly paid a little more for that quality . For $17 for each dish for what we got I felt way too much, it was that much of a departure! Please let me know if and when you either get your old chef back or return to your previous quality. I miss knowing where I could go for those epic comfort foods. read more

The Landmark is just that, a landmark bar/restaurant in Livingston. Been there for years. Local joint with curiosity seekers coming in. I It's simple. It's small. Not much atmosphere. Beers on tap are decent. They are known for their burgers. Expectations are high. The burger was average. Seriously on a scale of 1-10, it's a 5. Needed some pizzazz. Some energy. Pickle was good. The bread needs some work. Bartenders are friendly but preoccupied. Locals get top billing here. Always busy. We went on a rainy evening and it was busy. Expect average bar food. Nothing more please. read more

Horrible experience at the Landmark Restaurant in Livingston this evening after being a customer there for over 20 years! My boyfriend's dress work pants got ripped by a nail sticking out of one of the booths while we were out for his dad's 85th birthday. It was politely brought to the attention of the server as well as the owner of the restaurant, who ended up being nasty about it and saying that he could find other customers if we don't want to be customers anymore! Don't waste your money going there! read more

Landmark is probably my favorite place in Essex County, where I was raised and taught about the value of a mom and pop joint vs generic chain. That said, this is always on the top of the list when Mom is out of town and it's me and Pop going to grab a bite and a brew. It is a unique little dive in otherwise pretentious Livingston. The service and clientelle is always friendly, the food is unbelievably cheap, and they are always on point, from the nachos to burgers to pizza, fries, specials, or anything else. The beer of the week is one of those stupid little things to look forward to before you even start thinking about the menu. Don't let the "shack on the side of the road" exterior fool you, this is absolutely somewhere you want to come in to eat and drink. They recently upgraded to flatscreens (I guess everyone has now) make catching a game here much more enjoyable than on the previous tv sets. Landmark also gets my vote for "Most Improved Since the Indoor Smoking Ban." Even then, it was worth enduring just to get a great meal! read more

I've been here a few times...every time I go I regret it instantly. Its small inside. Always busy and crowded. Burgers tend to come out with soggy buns (a pet peeve of mine). Servers are rarely in a good mood. Some of their food is good but most of it is just ok. If you're not from around here, trust me when I say it's not worth any trip to get here. Oh... Almost forgot about the time I was given curdled milk in my Kahlua and cream. read more

I love Landmark, except when it's crowded so I carefully plan my visits. Caesar salad is terrific, sweet potato fries are the best, chicken sandwich is wonderful and don't get me started with the pizza. The staff has been there forever and they know everyone, no matter how long it has been since your last visit . It is a dive but a good dive. A great lunch alternative too! read more
