Mark's In & Out - Livingston, Montana - Independent Diners on Waymarking.com

Livingston is the county seat of Park County and is in southwestern Montana, on the Yellowstone River, north of Yellowstone National Park.

The community was first named Clark City in honor of Herman Clark, a well known contractor and builder for the Northern Pacific Railroad.

The town plat was filed later that year under the name Livingston in recognition of Johnston Livingston, a director and major stockholder of the railroad.

The railroad provided a means of transporting coal, wool, and cattle to market. It also enabled Livingston to serve as the original gateway to Yellowstone, the nation’s first national park. Mining and agriculture were additional economic factors in the town’s development.

Today, Livingston is the 11th largest city in Montana. Rail transportation continues to be a mainstay of the area’s economy, along with tourism, recreation, agriculture, and mining.

This is a popular place to eat, as when we were there it was a steady flow of customers. First established in June 1954, it has only had two owners, Mark and Scott Black purchased it in 1980 from the original owner Mart Phillips.

In 1980, Mark and Scott Black restored the building to its former glory and it fairly much looks the same as in the 1950s.

Try their great burgers, or also they offer foot long or chili dogs, chicken, fish and pork chop sandwiches, ice cream, flavored malts and shakes and soft drinks.
