Excellent fish and chips. Very dry and crispy (not soggy). Coupled with a decent beer menu makes for a darn good dinner.
Fantastic Sunday PJ brunch for my birthday...Always fun & yummy too...& you can’t beat the price...food is top notch!! I highly recommend!!
Met friends for dinner here after having a great lunch experience a few months ago. My second trip did not disappoint- excellent service and amazing food. Also loved that our table was right in front of the fireplace where we felt like we had the fire all to ourselves. This place is a gem!
Always a great time with friends and family, for a beer, cocktail and conversation with the local-regulars. Very friendly bar and service staff. Good food too!!
Four of us tried Buckley's for the first time, after visiting Longwood Gardens for the Orchid Extravaganza. Our cocktails and wine were very good as well as our Exotic Mushroom Soup, Clam Chowder and Pear Salad Appetizers. We chose Chicken Pot Pie, Chicken Breast Chausseur and Shrimp and Grits (two of us) as our entrees. All were excellent. Cobbler of the Day was Apple, which two of us thoroughly enjoyed. It was served with Vanilla Ice Cream. I had the Ghirardelli Brownie Sundae and substituted the Pink Peppermint Chip Ice Cream in place of the vanilla. Our friend's Coconut Cake was positively awesome. Our server, Charlene, is one of your biggest assets. She was very pleasant, knowledgeable and took care of us quite well. When I made our reservation, I requested, and was given, a table by the fireplace, which added to the ambience and overall enjoyment of our evening. I would highly recommend Buckley's Tavern and we definitely plan a return visit soon. Looking forward to drinks and tapas on your outside patio or upper level outside bar this Spring and Summer.
I was there with some of my family on Sunday for the Pajama Brunch celebrating my 50th birthday. It was my first time there and I can't wait to come back! The staff were very so friendly and the food was absolutely incredible! We all had a great time wearing our pajamas out in public. I live in Levittown PA and it was definitely worth the drive to Delaware and back!!!
Great food and staff in a comfortable old farmhouse setting. Stopped in for dinner and sat at the bar and the staff was friendly and attentive. Enjoyed a drink and ordered dinner which was the chicken pot pie. Everything was hot and fresh and loaded with quality ingredients and great flavors. I decided to get a dessert and the coconut cake was an excellent choice with a large slice delivered to me. Everything was an excellent value with the flavor and quality and ample portions for the price. I would definitely stop in again when in the area and would visit more often if it were closer to home.
Great spot for quality food, service, and atmosphere. Highly suggest the cheeseboard (best quality for the $) and the chicken salad and Turkey club. Walk around town after and enjoy the sights ☺️
Exemplary customer service, great menu options and always delicious! Mushroom soup is incredible (local mushrooms), clam chowder scratch made and entrees that melt in your mouth!
I absolutely loved it, the place is always packed and now I know why. Everything from the building and decor, to the staff, to the food and drink was top notch.
Starting with drinks, The guinness was fantastic. For mains, i went with the game burger and it was the best burger I have ever had. It was cooked perfectly to my request and was just simply amazing. I don't normally do dessert but coconut cream pie is hard to turn down when it available, I got one to go and it was so, so good.
Overall a very, very good meal in a beautiful place, 5 stars is not enough.
I absolutely love this place. The service is always on point and the food is delicious. I’ve never had a bad time here. I can’t remember the girls name, but she has maroon hair-works as a bartender and server. I’ve had her twice the last two times I’ve gone and she’s AMAZING! So professional and seems she really loves her job. I wish I could put her in my back pocket lol well done, guys! Can’t wait to get the mussels again. Best I’ve ever had!
I'll begin by saying that Buckley's gets four stars only because of all the years I have enjoyed going there to eat or drink. It is a staple in this area, greater Delaware and not just Centerville, but this visit was not up to par.
Keep in mind that this place is mainly a tavern (read: bar) so their food is really just upscale bar food. No points against them, the food is really good. Even this trip, the food was great.
However, we waited almost an hour to get our food. It was a busy Friday night and they might abs short staffed but still no excuse. We heard them tell multiple tables that the frier was backed up then that some stuff got burnt. Just not a great CX.
We started with Crab, Artichoke and Spinach dip, that was really good, although we could have used more pita. We also got Onion Rings, which despite being super late, were delicious and cooked perfectly.
My grandmother and my girlfriend both got Salads, that looked fine. the Crab Cake on my grandmothers salad was HUGE and pretty good (I tried it). I got The Atlantic Fluke Piccata. The fish was great but the portion was pretty small and the veggies and potatoes on the side were nothing to brag about. The waitress specifically recommended this dish but I would stick with Chicken or Steak when I go back.
You should definitely give this place a try when you are in the area. The bar is really cool. I don't drink anymore but I spent many late nights in the bar room and the ambience in there is top notch.
Wow! What a marvelous place, it was recommended by friends & we were so glad we made the 40 minute drive from home, because it was worth every bite! the food was delicious, I had the seared tuna for a starter, broiled crab cake for main & key lime tart for desert, hubby had the mushroom flatbread (I had a bite from every plate he ordered lol, so so yummy:), Bistro steak & warm Ghirardelli brownie sundae for desert - omg..it is to die for! Their services was impeccable our server was very friendly. We are happy with everything, we will definatley be back!! oh and their restrooms were super duper clean ;)
Buckley's is one of my favorite restaurants that I found on accident just exploring the area. In 3 weeks I am having my wedding dinner there upstairs. The food is really good, and well priced for the amount that you get. The townie bar feel is super welcoming, and cozy. I would recommend Buckley's to anyone and everyone looking for great bar food, and great ambiance.
