About Neptunes Taphouse and Eatery
On South Main Street in Livingston, Neptune's Taphouse and Eatery serves a coastal-fusion menu that pairs sushi and sashimi with pub-style plates. The sushi program uses tamari in place of traditional soy sauce across its rolls and sashimi. An ahi tuna tower appetizer and crab ragoons are frequently ordered starters, while the kitchen also turns out fish tacos, a smash burger and clam chowder for those wanting something heartier. Wonton nachos and a chicken sandwich round out the recurring picks. The bar pours craft beers on tap alongside cocktails, and dessert runs to key lime pie or crème brûlée. Seating spans a patio and an upper deck in addition to the main room. The restaurant takes walk-ins rather than reservations and opens Wednesday through Sunday, staying closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Customer Review Summary
Sushi and sashimi anchor most visits, with reviewers repeatedly calling out the ahi tuna tower and praising sashimi as some of the best they've had, though one diner found the rolls basic and the rice consistently crunchy and cold. Close behind, dishes like the Neptune Burger, fish and chips, crab ragoons, and wonton nachos draw regulars back, some driving in from Bozeman specifically for the ragoons and chicken sandwich. Fish tacos get a more lukewarm nod as "just okay," while the tofu Bahn Mi, clam chowder, and key lime pie earn separate praise. Craft beers and creative cocktails, including a bartender's willingness to build a custom drink, round out the experience, and one celiac diner notes accommodations using tamari and a dedicated fryer. Service is mostly described as attentive and warm, though one reviewer found it inconsistent, sometimes "aloof and borderline rude." The setting is repeatedly called lively and beachy, with several saying they'd return.

“Kelly was our server tonight. She was so sweet, kind and very attentive. All of our food was fresh and delicious! My husband and I ordered the ahi tuna tower, crab ragoons, fish and chips along with a specialty sushi roll. Presentation was beautiful. We were so full by the end but ended up finishing our plates. We would definitely come again!”

“First off, best sashimi Ive had in Montana. The chefs know how to slice their good quality fish in a way that melts in your mouth. And their wasabi is EXTRA hot. They dont skimp. Of their rolls however, they are basic basic and the rice is consistently crunchy and cold. I liked the tacos though! Filling and flavorful. Service is 50/50 if theyll be genuinely sweet or absolutely aloof and borderline rude. The bartender was willing to make an abstract cocktail upon request. Such a hit or miss spot with being either great and hitting the spot or totally falling flat. Only true tale is their sashimi.”

“Loved this place when I was staying in Livingston. The atmosphere is very bright and beachy, very nice bar. The food was amazing. I got the tofu Bahn Mi with hush puppies and it was amazing. Their side salad with Thai dressing was also delicious. Also they had really good key lime pie.”
- Sydney Baumeister
“Super cute restaurant. We went here because I have celiacs and I saw reviews saying it was a pretty safe option. I had the sushi (spicy tuna and the avo mango rolls) and it was absolutely delicious. They use tamari instead of traditional soy sauce. They also have a dedicated fryer for fries and the fries are heavenly. I also had the crème brûlée- it was decent. I went with a vegetarian and a person with a dairy allergy and we were all able to be accommodated. I highly recommend this place.”
