Staying in Livingston on business me and my comrades wanted to get some dinner and watch the opening NFL game. So we chose the Livingston Bar and Grill thinking that would be a lively hangout for the evening. However, this is more of an upscale dining establishment than a local pub. Now it wasnât a bad place but certainly not what the listing Or the name would have you believe. I would not classify as a bar. The menu was good, not particularly your average bar fare but some great items none the less. We had a party of six and so Iâm just summarizing our thoughts afterwards. Appetizers of fried eggs were very good and unique. Many in our party had the flat iron steak. Flavor was good but compared with other establishments in Montana the size for the price was small. The consensus on the Parmesan garlic fries was low. Different, didnât taste bad, but just not what a fry should be. Not sure if the menu had other varieties of fries or not. Had one who chose the hamburger, again flavor was good but portion was small for a bar and grill. Their pasta dishes fared a little better. One person had the shrimp pasta and was good and I had the bison bolognese. Good hefty portions, heavy dish. Wishing I had couple of slices of French garlic bread rather than thin piece of baguette but it was good. More than I could eat on hot day. Dressing selection for the salads was disappointing to me cause they didnât have thousand island. Canât understand why restaurants donât offer this popular dressing. Would of rather had a soup but didnât see any on menu or was offered by the server. Overall assessment is the food was sparse but tasty. Certainly not a bar restaurant as one would expect but more of an upscale dining establishment in mood, prices, and portions. I would return if I wanted to take someone out for a good dinner but not to just hang out and enjoy the game. Hello MT Traveler, we appreciate your comments. We are just a little bit upscale. We do make our own pasta and it makes a lot of difference. We are glad that you enjoyed the food. We also make all of our own salad dressings; hence the lack of thousand island. We hope to see you on your date night ;-)

This is kind of a simple cafe in an amazing building. And when I say simple, I mean it in the most positive way. Good breakfast choices. The waitperson was really nice and professional. The customers seemed to be mostly locals and were all very friendly.Even if you have meal plans elsewhere, definitely stop in here for a coffee just so you can appreciate the architecture of the room.

Pinkyâs quickly became our favorite spot for breakfast during a short stay in Livingston. Located on Main Street, it has a local atmosphere, fast friendly service and excellent food. The specials are a fun cuisine adventure or you can have perfectly poached eggs and some of the best pancakes Iâve eaten, if you prefer to play it safe. Portions are generous and prices tourist area moderate. Waitresses are efficient and very engaging. Get a Pinkyâs coffee cup while you are there and enjoy free refills each visit.

Service was very friendly and competent. Menu was limited. Portions were small for the price. Did not feel like a good value. Both meals were average. Not bad, but average. Not up to the price.

The dinner experience here was superb in every way. Very populist and crowded but they did a great job. This place is not large. The wait staff was really professional and excellent. The drinks were super. The food was all really good and we celebrate servings for hungry men! We all loved it.

We drove here from Bozeman at the advice of our innkeeper. We are so glad we did! We started with salads, and their homemade bleu cheese dressing is soooo good. I then had the halibut special and my husband had the famous fillet. Both were just awesome. Iâm not even normally a steak eater but my husbandâs fillet was so delicious and tender, even when cooked well done (his preference). Everything was terrific, the service, food, everything. Not a fancy place, as we wore our jeans, which we love. We split the apple cobbler with ice cream for dessert, and it was awesome as well. Just canât say enough about the experience here. Our trip will end in Billings and we plan to try their location there, I canât imagine how it could be better!

Visited twice over the past week. Pizzas are excellent with a good variety of toppings. Great bases.Friendly service. Reasonably priced.Can be a bit loud - went on a Thursday evening, and it was too noisy to talk across the table. However, good âlocalâ atmosphere.

A place to nourish your mind, body and soul, through food, art and love. Come and have fun! Be creative! Get Yumtwisted! :)
Reviewed By L H
Inside the large brick community building, this small place has a family-owned atmosphere. Their version of eggs Benedict has poached eggs on small pieces of bread with thin, bland Hollandaise; the cheese-topped hashbrown cake is good. The quesadilla is great; very flavorful. The mac & cheese is made with cheese, not orange cheese sauce; it's a bit oily (be aware whatever 'yumtwist' you order will be mixed in throughout, not served on the side). Pork 'yumtwist' is tasty. The delicious cinnamon roll is on the small side, lots of frosting, could use more cinnamon. Friendly staff, free parking. Ask for fruit on the side if ordering to go, unless you like egg yolk/sauce/etc on bananas. You can text your order in advance (they're often too busy to answer the phone).
