    Went to Buckley’s to celebrate a birthday. The hostess gave us a birthday card and they brought out the dessert with a birthday candle. These two gestures were very cute and super sweet. The food was excellent. We both got steaks and everything was cooked perfectly. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

    Erin a made our holiday meal worth the visit. She was helpful, knowledgeable and has a wonderful sense of humor. I wish the lamb special was cooked more. The chops were almost raw and very fatty. I was thankful for the delicious risotto w/carmelized onions and carrots. My husband that was so looking forward to his sugar crusted steak was a bit disappointed as it was a bit dry and tasteless. We just chalk it up to holiday crowds. We will be back as we usually enjoy anything we get. Laurie DePaulis. 4/20/25

    We love Buckley’s we go here every year for our Anniversary. They have the best filet minion! They cook it perfectly. If you like a good quality steak then you should go to Buckley’s. The staff was very friendly and attentive but not annoying. The side dishes were also delicious my husband and I both had the garlic mashed potatoes and glazed carrots. We really enjoyed our evening and will definitely go back.

    Buckleys is probably one of the best steak restaurants in the area, it just isn’t as good as Ruth’s Chris in NJ near where we used to live. The service at Buckleys was great, drinks were very good (except the waiter gave my husband’s martini with a twist vs. olives as had been requested). Wine by the glass was very good and reasonably priced. We each at filets. Mine was a bit overdone, a bit dry and not that flavorful. My husband had the petit filets and thought they were delicious. So overall a very nice dinner just wished my steak tasted better considering the money we paid.
