I enjoyed my visit to Livingston Diner. The turkey club sandwiches were tasty, with good flavor and fresh ingredients. The fries were nicely cooked—crispy with just the right seasoning. The service was solid, friendly, and efficient overall. I'd recommend it.

Nice diner, family and I ate lunch at Livingston Diner after leaving Turtle Back Zoo. Diner is clean, bathrooms are clean, the staff are welcoming and friendly. The service was quick and the drinks and food tasted good. The prices are reasonable for the portions you receive.

Donovan was awesome. Servers greet you at the door. There’s no rush. They clean swiftly. First time here and I don’t feel out of place or anything. For me, the omelette was bland, hash brown could be better. Hot tea was good( it’s tea so can’t mess that up) I gave it 4 star because of the server.

Swiss cheese mushroom burger needs a tad kick of seasoning. Taylor ham is fantastic.

First time here. Went with the family after a day at the zoo. The family enjoyed their meals not one complaint. Servers were polite and on point. High chairs were available for the little one. Oh the food was great at least what we ordered, which was burgers all around.
