Prices are reasonable and food tasted good. The place was packed but luckily we got a table in the heated outdoor area. They asked if we had reservation, but nowhere in Google maps or their website was the option available... so better call them. I got the Seafood Christina and although it was good, it felt overwhelming. It had a lot of sauce like a gumbo. Good portion. Moscow mule was okay, but their Guava Margarita with Mijenta tequila was sublime. Service was really good and the place is clean and cozy. It would have been nice to have a bit more light in the porch area to see better what we're eating.

Soul satisfying mushroom lover and clam chowder lasagna comfort food addict thoroughly enjoyed our lunches. Mushroom soup with completely pureed special combo of fresh mushrooms. Deep Mushroom flavor. Clam chowder doesn't skimp on clam flavor.

Stopped in for a snack and had their cheese sticks. I was not expecting much and was very happily surprised! Everything was freshly made. The cheese was delicious, the fresh pesto was insanely delicious, and the marinara outstanding. If the rest of the menu is as good as this one appetizer its a good time.

First time visit to Buckley's Tavern. We had a wonderful and cheerful waitress. Two wonderful cocktails from the menu which were perfect. For dinner, a crab Cobb salad with a mountain of crab right in the center. French dip with melted provolone and horseradish sauce. Added onion rings which were made with panko crumbs. Yummy. Meal was perfect. The only negative is they use one rag to clean off the tables and my wife can pick up this smell when she enters. I wish Buckley's would use clean paper towels to wipe down the tables. We brought home dessert and will report on that later :)

Stopped in for a quick bite. The menu prices were quite a bit higher than we were expecting. Nachos (just cheese, jalapeños and pico) were $16, and would have been another $8 to add chicken. They were tasty but nothing great. Needed some black beans, queso or something else to make it better. Fries were good. The atmosphere is the best part. Feels like a tavern (because it is). Portion sizes are good for the price. Didn't order a beer because draft prices were expensive ($8+)

I had the mushroom soup to start, it was pretty good but not the best I've had. For the main I had the salmon and it was excellent. It was delicious and prepared perfectly. The side dishes were mashed potatoes and a vegetable medley of broccoli, carrots, squash, and asparagus. Both were delicious. For dessert we had the lemon cheesecake which was excellent. Service was spotty at times but we did have a large group. If in the area again I will definitely return.

We had the most wonderful experience at Buckley's Tavern yesterday while celebrating my husband’s birthday with our family! From the moment we walked in, everything felt warm, welcoming, and special. The staff was incredibly kind, attentive, and truly made us feel valued. They helped make the birthday celebration feel even more meaningful. The food was absolutely delicious — every single dish we ordered exceeded our expectations. We started with the creamy mushroom soup, and it was AMAZING! So rich, smooth, and full of flavor — you could tell it was made with care. It was the perfect way to begin our meal. After that, we shared a beautiful fruit plate with dipping sauce. It was fresh, colorful, and such a refreshing addition to the meal. The dipping sauce paired perfectly with the fruit and made it feel extra special. For our main dishes, we had the Shepherd’s Pie and the Lobster Roll — and wow! Both were outstanding. The Shepherd’s Pie was hearty, comforting, and full of flavor, with perfectly seasoned meat and creamy mashed potatoes on top. The Lobster Roll was fresh and generously filled, perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious. Every bite was satisfying! The atmosphere was cozy and charming, perfect for a family celebration. The only small challenge was parking — it was a bit hard to find a spot — but honestly, the incredible food and service made it completely worth it. We had such a lovely and memorable birthday dinner, and we are so grateful for the amazing experience. Highly recommend Buckley’s Tavern for special occasions or just a wonderful meal with family. We will definitely be back!

I’ve been here twice, both good experiences. The mushroom soup is a specialty, and good! My friend and I both enjoyed its texture and depth the flavor. Has a little sherry added to it, and the mushrooms are blended, but still a bit chunky. I took my motorcycle buddies here too, and they enjoyed it.
