    From start to finish, our meal was excellent. Bread and oil service was a great way to start the meal, as were our drinks. They were mixed to perfection. Calamari was spicy and delicious! Prime rib was a beautiful medium rare and lean, just the way it was ordered. Steak frites were perfectly cooked, tender, and delicious. The fries were crispy and seasoned beautifully. The cucumber salad added a very nice balance to the dish. Top notch grades from start to finish!

    Went for our anniversary and birthday celebration. Everything was great from the service to the food and drinks. Both are equally as important to us when we dine out. Quality of food was awesome and we will definitely be back!

    They deserve every star rating from these reviews. There's so much to enjoy on the menu that one visit will never be enough. The patience you have to have while you wait though is too much. It takes wayyy too long to transition from placing your dinner order to receiving your meal at the table. 1.5hrs on a Friday at 5PM is far too long.
    Buckley's Great SteaksResponded 1 day ago
    Hi Gregory, Thank you so much for your review, we are glad you enjoy our menu and continue to visit. We likewise appreciate your feedback regarding the timing of your dining experience. While we generally would expect a party of two to remain for an average of ninety minutes, our waitstaff is always happy to work on expediting your experience if you prefer a brisker pace of service. We will be sure to do our best to make this a reality for your next visit if you so desire. All the best, Buckley's Great Steaks Management

    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.
