    I usually love it here, but last night my food was awful. I got the buttermilk chicken and it came out later than the other guests, and it didn’t look like buttermilk fried chicken? I went to cut it and even with a steak knife, it was hard to cut. I took one bite and have never eaten chicken with that texture!!!! It was like a rubber ball. Everyone at the table tried it and was horrified. It was something I have never in my life tasted???? I was so disappointed. But the service was perfect as always.

    Our service was absolutely top notch! Hayley was our server and we could not have asked for a more attentive, knowledgeable or kind server for our party of 7. One of the steaks unfortunately came out well done when it was supposed to be medium rare, and upon realizing this they insisted it be replaced with a new steak. We were fine as it was but Hayley and the manager were so upset that it wasn’t perfectly cooked that they had a new steak at the table within minutes. They definitely didn’t want anyone at our table leaving anything less than perfectly satisfied. We were very impressed. Food, wine and service were fantastic. We can’t wait to return.

    We have come to Buckley’s for years and it is our Christmas Eve tradition. Excellent as always, great service, deserts, mashed potatoes and, of course, the meat. Definitely go

    Dining for two. First time at Buckley’s. Was sat at a cramped table in a busy room, someone must’ve ordered oysters nearby, you could smell them. For a $130 bill for two, I don’t think i’d come back. The server was amazing and the drinks were fantastic (will definitely come back for drinks) however I don’t think the food portions/quality was enough for the price and cramped seating. The food was good, not much flavor to the veggies. Don’t think the portions are worth the price as someone who often visits restaurants. Again great service, great drinks. Stay blessed!

    Makayla our waitress was outstanding! She was very attentive and polite. One dish was a burger for my sister. My niece ordered the steak tips and I had the twin filets w/ each filet having its own sauce (Bernaise & a Demi-reduction). Everything was so good! The fries were spectacular! Mac n cheese, YUM! My entire dish was exceptional!!! I drove 1.5 hours to have dinner w/ my niece and sister and I plan on coming back, IT WAS THAT GOOD!!! A+++
