Three of us had lunch at Buckley's last week. The experience is one I hope never to repeat again. We hoped to start with the house salad, but we were told they were out of lettuce. Two turkey dinner were Luke warm and the mashed potatoes has an odd test. Our guest said the roast beef dinner was okay, but since she was our guest I sincerely believe she felt she couldn't criticize the food. She did take most of it home saying she likes it hotter. Three cappuccino ordered ... No such luck - machine broken. The dessert was good.... read more

At Home Feeling – I love Buckley's. My husband and I have attended many special occasions here and we have not been disappointed! The food is delicious, service is good, reasonable prices, and it has a wonderful atmosphere! The person who organizes and runs all of the special events does a wonderful job! She is always friendly and professional and NEVER disappoints. All events; weddings, showers, christenings, & engagement parties have always turned out beautiful!

So So Service and Quality has gotten worse. – We've been going to this long standing neighborhood joint for years. Always decent food at good prices. Sometimes you have to wait a bit as it is busy a lot of times. Some great servers and some sluggish servers are, I guess, the norm. The last visit was by far the worst of all time for me. Two out of three entree's were severely overcooked. The drinks were empty and the server never came back into the dining room after delivering the entrees. The guest with the perfectly cooked ... read more

Nothing Special – I've been dragged to this restaurant several times through the years and not once have I been completely satisfied. They bring a big loaf of bread out and you're expected to cut it yourself - would it kill them to actually do his in the kitchen and serve it in a bread basket. I ordered the roast beef with rice pilaf and broccoli. The beef was cut so thinly that I thought it might be from the deli and the broccoli was just two very small florets mounted on two very long, tough stems. The service, on this occ... read more

Ok and Has the Potential to be Much Better – This is a meat and potatoes restaurant. They are one of the few family restaurants in this area of Brooklyn. For this reason, I think they have become lazy. They have a very good business. It has been crowded every time I have gone there. The problem is that they do not try very hard. Some may work hard but not smart... there are a lot of inconsistencies... sometimes, the food is excellent, sometimes it is mediocre, sometimes the service is awful, sometimes it is great. It is like... read more

Great Neighborhood Staple – My family has been going to Buckley's for about 20 years now. It's very much a local/neighborhood spot that can always be counted on for a good, well-priced brunch, and filling dinner. If you are looking for frills, this is not your place. If you're looking for a casual meal, definitely a good choice.

Ughh! – Where do I start? I have been to this resturant many times, but after my dinner experience on Friday night, I will not be returning. My family and I (4 people) had reservations for 6pm on a Wednesday. We specifically said "BY THE FIREPLACE". Unfortuantly, we did not get anywhere near there when seated. The server gave our table away and than stuck us in the corner of the resturant. We waited 10 minutes to get simples glasses of water and then we ordered, and it took 45 minutes to make clams and scallops. When the foo... read more

Down South Eats – My husband walked into Buckley's to register him and I for the annual Buckley-Kennedy Run a couple of days ago and was so upset by the treatment he received. Apparently the three staff members behind the bar were too busy watching T.V. to even acknowledge his presence. After standing around for over ten minutes another staff member walked out from the back and assisted, when my husband asked how to register for the run he was pointed in the direction of original three behind the bar that finally offered him... read more

nothing special and very expensive – This place isn't horrible but it's nothing spectacular either. There aren't too many resturaunts in Marine Park so I understand why this place gets business. But I find that for the very high prices you're paying, the service is just so-so and expect to wait 30 minutes during busy times - even with a reservation. The food is just okay and the portions are small. I love steak and I would say theirs is average. Two people eating a dinner with appetizers and a drink or two each are looking a... read more
