Reviews of Buckley's Restaurant & Bar
The breakfast potatoes were awesome with just the right amount if salt. We sat outside. The waitress was professional and nice. The French toast is a must.
10/14/22
Tried their Haddock it was Fabulous. The coleslaw had good flavor and the bourbon cheese cake was awesome. The Wisconsin old fashion was one of the best in downtown Milwaukee. Thank you Wolfy and your teammates. I'll be back soon.
Buckley’s restaurant and bar was an amazing night out in downtown Milwaukee. I ordered the fish fry and my partner ordered the salmon which were amazing. they have amazing wine options and a ton of food options for both mediators and vegetarians. The weight staff were very hospitable and even offered to give us a brief tour and give us insight into the history of Buckley’s and the Buckley’s family. this small restaurant is definitely one on the quiet and upscale side, and so far it in their craft.
Tasty Spot. Great dessert. Delicious food. Perfect spot to bring family visiting town!
This is the first place Ive ever ate mushrooms I actually liked. Because of this, my husband & I have been more adventurous with trying anything with mushrooms.
I went to Buckleys for brunch on a Sunday morning. When we first got there at 10:45 it was not busy, but throughout our hour there it definitely picked up.
I got coffee for a drink and the smoked pork shoulder sandwich for my meal. The sandwich was soooo delicious. The bread was perfect, the pork was tender and flavorful, and the sauce on top was incredible.
My boyfriend got the corned beef hash and also liked it, though I tried it and definitely still recommend the pork shoulder sandwich.
Our server, Kayla was so friendly and helpful.
My only downside of this visit was that we were seated in between two other groups of people pretty close, so it was sometimes hard to focus on our conversation without hearing the peoples’ next to us.
Bartenders were fabulous! We had the carrots and artichokes for our appetizers. Dinner was scallops and steak. Delicious drinks. Overall a fantastic evening. Can’t wait to go back. I highly recommend!!!
Buckley's, a restaurant neatly tucked away on Cass Street in Milwaukee, has a beautiful interior and a very friendly staff. We went on a Sunday Brunch date and sat at a high-top in the bar area. We were waited on by the bartender and he seemed slightly overwhelmed as it was fairly busy, but he handled it very well and was attentive. Overall, the food was good. I would say I enjoyed the pork shoulder sandwich, but I would caution that it may need more seasoning. I was glad salt was on the table as it needed a dash or two. We also enjoyed the hush puppies with crab and avacado creme. The dessert was good, with the peanut butter buttercream and chocolate cake, but it needed to be warmed up a bit as it seemed to be straight from the cooler. Overall, pretty good with a really nice, friendly staff.
I had dinner here the other night and the experience was excellent. The service, the food, and the wine options were great. The waiter who served my table was extremely friendly, kind, and professional. I ordered the white lamb bolognese and it was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking to have a nice quiet dinner with someone. The restaurant itself had this older classic look and feel which is pretty neat.
Really enjoyed this place. Food was very good. Service above average. Drinks are great (including some fine N/A cocktail options). Best carrot cake in the city.
Lovely location and establishment. The service was great and so was the food. My wife had the steak and I had the KFC sandwich, and both were tasty. So was the charcuterie and carrot cake. The beer selection includes some nice options and if you're a cocktail person, there are definitely good options.
Buckley's is easily one of the best restaurants in Milwaukee. Perfect for a date night. Service is impeccable, food is always great, and drinks are on point. They make amazing deserts in house as well, definitely worth saving room for.
If you've had one chopped chicken salad you've had them all, right? Nah. This is easily the best chopped chicken salad Ive ever had. Acultually filling and tasty and great amount of chicken, croutons, and dressing. Definitely getting again.
We sat outside on the nice patio on Wednesday evening. Got a table right away. Server Sara was awesome.
My wife got the mushroom ragu which she really liked. We got the meatball appetizer which was enough for 2 people to start.
Dessert. Dang. Seasonal cheesecake was incredible. I admit I dont eat cheesecake often, but I would happily wreck my pancreas if I could eat all I wanted of this cheesecake.
We will be coming back to Buckleys.
Buckley’s was great, we always visited when in Milwaukee. I feel like their food has really suffered the last few visits. We will always swing by for take-out carrot cake to enjoy when we get home, but will probably skip dinner from now on. Disappointing…
Absolutely excellent, my wife had the scallops and I had the schnitzel. Service was top notch as well, and the drinks were very good too. Highly recommend!
Inventive menu and large and competent wine list. We have tried 2 appetizers and 3 different entrees, which all the tasted amazing. Great service. Wine list on the web was slightly different from the one at the restaurant, but still great
Incredible. From the drinks and apps to dinner and dessert. Everything was amazing. Highly recommend the truffle artichokes for your appetizer. I was here in February when cacio e pepe was on the menu. This is a Roman pasta dish and I spent four months living in Rome. Cacio e pepe was my favorite dish in Rome, so being in the states I was hesitant to order it. However, I went for it and do not regret it whatsoever. They definitely pulled through! You also should get the BEST carrot cake ever for dessert. Your mouth will be watering. You will not regret going to Buckley’s!
Buckley's Restaurant & Bar is a small unique brunch spot featuring fantastic specials. During my last visit I tried the homemade Elvis Pop Tarts, Lobster Benedict, and Dutch Passion Fruit Pancake. The Elvis Pop Tarts were hot and fresh, The Lobster Benedict well cooked and prepared, and the Dutch Passion Fruit Pancake while taking around twenty minutes to cook was the top standout, and well worth the wait! I look forward to visiting Buckley's Restaurant & Bar again soon.
This was my second time coming to Buckley's and I just love it. They had a special on bottles of wine and had a fabulous pinot noir for a steal. The waiter was very attentive and would top off our glasses when they were getting low. We split the lobster roll and it was devine. The bread was perfectly buttery and toasted. We also shared the truffle fried artichokes (again). I don't think I've seen this appetizer offered anywhere else and it's so special. It's lemony, truffle-y, lightly crunchy - just a beautiful flavor and I want to order it all for myself! We also shared a special dessert -
key lime pie with a chocolate crust. It's the perfect pie. It's creamy, the flavor is just right and the sweetness does not overpower like some key lime pies. Sitting outside on the patio is a treat as well in the summer months!
This is a rather small location, but it was a perfect stop for a late lunch! I kept seeing the truffle artichoke mentioned in reviews, and I'm glad we ordered it. It was a delicious starter! I had to keep reminding myself to slow down and enjoy it. Their drinks are a little pricey, but strong enough that I only needed to order one. I enjoyed the salmon burger with a small side salad. I usually pass on dessert but the waiter was sure to brag that everything was made upstairs. Once he told us the dessert options, I had to try the peanut butter cheesecake. It was unbelievable! Would definitely visit here again!
Came in to the restaurant way underdressed. Didn't know as we stopped in from out of town.
Bone marrow was good.
The Gnocchi was great!!
Also had Scallops and the burger for dinner.
Both were good.
Gnocchi was definitely the favorite.
There fries were fantastic and I really liked the pork sandwich. I would definitely recommend the pork sandwich. The new England clean chowder and the lobster roll were okay.
A small menu but everything was delicious. Very cute and quaint atmosphere.
Sunday brunch was awesome! The Peruvian shrimp is a unique dish that is delicious and perfectly portioned. The new renovation/expansion is amazing! A beautiful space with elegant decor.
The main course took almost an hour to get to the table beer was great, entenace was very good but half checked roasted wasn't what I expected and also took too much time.
Our lunch here was delicious and memorable. It became one of the highlights of our visit to Milwaukee. The spinach salad with prosciuto, the haddock, the key lime pie were all excellent.
Very good new American restaurant in downtown Milwaukee. Amazing old architecture in their new addition. Terrific server. Hope to make it back here.
Food was excellent- clam chowder was hearty and full of clams. I had pork chop, wife had fish fry, which was haddock. Carrot cake was recommended and that didn’t disappoint either- Server was Daniel and he was attentive and friendly
Came here for our lunch date… such an amazing food. Will definitely come back here again. ❤️
A very nice place, the drink selection is great. The food menu is a little lacking though it makes up with the amazing fresh food and service. There is only street parking so beware that you may have to walk a few blocks but it's so worth. Meatball starter is out of this world.
Top notch service and delicious food. When my friend made the reservation she was able to include allergy information and the server was helpful in explaining what we could eat.
This is not a place for regular meals out. At least not for my wallet.
The primary reason for only 4 stars is because the menu is NOT vegetarian or vegan friendly at all. Granted the menu is limited - a GOOD thing IMO as this allows the kitchen to focus on doing those things really well.
Great bartender, we had drinks and some apps on the walk to summerfest from the plaza. Generous portions, great drinks
Stopped in earlier tonight for cocktails before a bday dinner rezzo down the street. Chris was exceptionally hospitable and cocktails were fantastic! Will definitely be back soon to dine in.
It's like coming home. The home with people you want to spend time with, who serve you delicious food and fine wine, and are so happy to see you. What more do you need?
Steak was the best I have ever had. The dry age was wonderful. Cheese board was nice too. Will be going back soon.
2nd time here for dinner. First time in the dining room. Both times dinner was great. Try the curry drink and the old man. Wife and I split the spinach salad and got two different pasta dishes. Was aldente, gave it a hearty taste. Dont forget the carrot cake... order it first so you have to try it.
Delightful brunch, ate at the bar, which offers full brunch service even without a reservation. The food was delicious, the breakfast potatoes were shatteringly crisp and still tender on the inside. Check out their brunch cocktail list for some fun and thoughtful beverages.
Amazing experience from start to finish. Lovely ambiance, delicious food with great options. Incredible wine menu and the best carrot cake we have ever had!! We will be back again soon!
This place looks great. The atmosphere is second to none. Servers and staffs are friendly Menu selection is very limited. The food was not to our satisfaction. For a great place like this, my only explanation was that the chef may have been off that night.
My significant other and I first visited Buckley’s for just another Sunday brunch. From day one the service, food, and atmosphere has been top quality. We both work very busy schedules and frequently don’t get to spend time with one another.
We have found that Buckley’s has become our weekly Sunday Brunch tradition and we think of it as almost a second home/getaway. Anytime we bring friends or family we are recognised, greeted well, and the food is always great.
Thank you for becoming such a big part of our lives, Buckley’s and Staff. We’ll see you next Sunday!
At a loss for words so it'll do to just say if you live or work around here and don't visit this place occasionally, you're really missing out on one the bests.
One of the best meals I’ve had. Each dish was prepared perfectly. The setting is beautiful. Service was wonderful. On top of all that, the pricing is extremely reasonable; depending on what you choose it doesn’t need to cost much more than eating at a chain restaurant.
Burger was not cooked as ordered, "the medium rare side of medium", it arrived medium well to well. I let go this time because I was sharing with someone who prefers more cooked, AND because the taste was outstanding!!!
Buckley's should be known for their burgers. One of the best I've ever had in my life. That's definitely what should be ordered. Make sure you have reservations. Quality people and food!
We went to Buckley's last night and it was great! Great service, the atmosphere was fun and light, and the covid protocols were followed. We felt really safe and comfortable even inside with everyone masked and spaced. Thursday nights are an egg roll special and holy cow were they awesome. We went with the idea to just get apps, drinks and dessert and ending up getting the food too. The swordfish was incredible. Our server was fun and helped make the experience (wish I could remember his name but had one too many delicious cocktail). Thanks Buckleys!
Great service, lovely atmosphere. The braised artichoke is seriously one of the best dishes I've had in a long time, definitely a standout. All around excellent experience!
Very original menu, and I loved it. Some things may seem pricey but definitely worth it. Cute exterior and very clean cozy interior.
The menu has limited options but very good things to choose from. I had gnocchi with butternut squash and it was delicious but a few pieces was a little mushy. The chicken wings were good but one piece was chewy. Great sauce and flavorful. I'd definitely go back if I lived in Milwaukee. The waiter was kind and quick which is a good thing. You can always tell when the server has been doing their job for a while when they know what they're doing.
Beautiful place just across out hotel so we thought we would
check it out. Sat outside on a beautiful night. Drinks very good. Food ok. Server very nice. Friends cesar salad all oil. My steak pretty good. Great bottle Italian pinot noir. Like how they do their wine pricing.
This is a quaint restaurant with super ambiance and food. I took a visit from out of town out for this meal and she was equally impressed.
The only thing that seemed a little out of synch was the hostess. My guest and I both thought she seemed very quiet...to a point where she seemed upset at us about something. It was strange.
The waiter was very kind and service was excellent. We will definitely visit again.
Good food and service. Dined in for dinner and sat outside. Their version of an Old Fashion cocktail had a nice balance - was not overly sweet or too boozy. Overall the charcuterie plate was OK but the raspberry-elderberry jam that came with it was excellent. I had the rigatoni with added shrimp. The rigatoni flavor was good and the shrimp perfectly cooked. The noodles were a bit too al dente and the shaved parmesan cheese on top clumped together - shaved would have been a better option so that it would have been distributed though the dish better. But overall ot was a good entree that I would get again. Both of the people I dined with enjoyed their meals and drinks.
Wonderful experience. Beautiful interior with high ceilings and dim lighting, but not like you're in the dark. Very intimate yet vibrate atmosphere. Professional and wonderful service. The menu is fantastic and the food supports it. It also has a really nice bar with plenty to chose from. Solid wine and spirits list.
Can’t say enough good things about this place. Great food and the friendliest service. And the carrot cake is a whole bunch of awesome.
It has a welcoming atmosphere with great decor. Food and service were both outstanding. We had a Buckleys burger cooked to medium rare perfection and the pork bolognese with house made pasta was also delicious. For those with covid worries...they are masked at all times and require you to be masked when they interact with you at your table, ordering, dropping off food, etc...and constantly sanitizing common spot areas...doors, tables, etc... Will definitely be back!
The food and service were absolutely amazing! We sat at the bar and had a great experience. The recommendations from Wolfgang hit the pallet in the proper way. When we left there were big bags of dessert to take home (because there is absolutely no way to eat all of the delicious sweets in one sitting)!!
Buckley's is under renovation and expansion, so it will change significantly before too long. We add in a new addition which we were told would be a private dining room when all the remodeling was done. That said - it did not feel like a new addition. It was comfortable and cozy with a fireplace. We were seated on the second floor (alert - there is no elevator at this time). The room was about half full and my only complaint is that it was loud - not overly loud - but there is very little in the room to muffle sounds. I had a little difficulty understanding our waiter, but that was probably more my aging ears and the timber of his voice. The service was excellent - friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The food was excellent. We will go back on future visits to Milwaukee.
Great little spot especially on a nice day when you can sit outside. Staff and food were amazing!
Really liked the new space and am curious how the older part of the restaurant will meld with the new.
The food was very good, I had the muffaletta and my wife had the beet pastrami. We usually don't do dessert but the carrot cake was SO good.
Our server Megan was delightful.
The outside seating will be changing with the new kitchen area and the landscapers were hard at work so it's a work in progress.
This is a beautiful restaurant, understated but asking for a certain amount of decorum. The evening restaurant crowd seemed to skew elderly but, to be fair, it was a fairly early evening Thursday. Our group met to talk true crime and we did not feel out of place! Our server was exactly the right measure of attentive without making us feel rushed or uncomfortable. The food was delicious and was attractively served.
New owners have freshened up the restaurant and it is wonderful inside and out. Very good food and an excellent menu. Sitting outside on a beautiful summer day cannot be beat. The also have a beautiful room in the upper level for private parties. contrary to another review I read, our experience with service was A+. We always look forward to going to Buckley's when in Milwaukee
For years, Buckley’s has consistently been one of my favorite restaurants in Milwaukee. Their fantastic food and drinks are equally matched by the quality of their staff. It’s simply an awesome establishment run by a great family.
Visited on a warm summer evening. Went for the food, stayed longer for the home made deserts. A bit noisy, but due to the ample crowd that evening. Food was hot, nicely presented, and of a nice serving size. Unusual drinks, outstanding deserts. Great location, outdoor seating, wonderful food, good service. Cozy little restaurant. The duck and the pork were both moist and tender. The duck was not at all greasy. The tuxedo cake and chocolate mousse were decadent.
This place is such a gem. Even in covid times it was such a beautiful delicious place to visit. We originally had reservations at 845 but didn’t get a table until 930... we are very easy going understanding people and they served us our bottle of champagne we ordered while waiting standing to the side. Honestly we enjoyed even that. We thought the building was beautiful and can not wait until better times when dining inside is allowed. They were very accommodating when we did get our table and comped our entire bottle for waiting which was not needed but completely appreciated. We ordered the artichoke (ummmm so delicious) the cauliflower flat bread (like a deconstructed banh mi), the Salmon mousse salad (;p), and the salmon. So tasty, everything. The servers and staff were a delight. Could not recommend this place anymore, please go, so worth it. Great neighborhood.
Buckley's is one of the best cozy restaurants I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. The food is exquisite and service was the best I've had in a long time. The waiter whose name is Daniel was authentically funny, delightful, and refreshing. The burger and fries were great and my coworker said that the carrot cake with buttercream icing was the best she's ever had. This one is a must if you're in the area.
I went with some family friends for lunch last Saturday. What a wonderful surprise! the service was personal and professional and the food was great. It has a really nice 'ambience" and feel. It looks like they will be expanding the restaurant in the future, which is a wonderful idea. The deserts were outstanding and it seems that one the owners is the pastry chef! I will come back many times in the future when i visit Milwaukee. Truly a gem and a great find
Best brunch we have enjoyed in a while!
Homemade ginger ale, homemade whipped cream, beautiful dishes with perfect portion sizes. Surf n turf breakfast, Peruvian Shrimp, and Lobster Benedict all yummy. Pancakes are light and fluffy, and a great dessert. Wait-staff, Kayla, is polite and attentive.
Had the Peruvian shrimp breakfast with eggs scrambled and it was excellent. Daniel and Taylor were excellent behind the pine. Cosmo of the rocks, margaritas were the best. Come for the friendly atmosphere and attentive staff, your pallet won't be disappointed.
Went into this meal anticipating a good meal from the reviews. The high cost of food is not indictive of the quality here. I got the beef short rib, which was incredibly over done and dry. It also had a small, sharp piece of bone in it that must've been left from when this piece was cut from the bone. It came with brussel sprouts that were soggy and not very enjoyable. My wife's airplane chicken was nothing special from what a small town diner could prepare. The carrot soup and the wine was the only things about this meal that we enjoyed. If I'm going to spend $100 for a meal, there are countless better places I could go in this city.
We came here for the first time tonight. Had the truffle fried artichokes, scallops and the pork chop. The food was so delicious, i cannot wait to come back. Our waitor was very friendly and funny. I would definitely recommend.
Such great food in a beautiful downtown setting. Outdoor seating is wonderful.
Excellent food, service and drinks in an inviting place. A family run establishment that is a can't miss when in Milwaukee. Last night my husband and I had the Brussels Sprouts to start, who knew smoked grapes would be so good?! For main I had the scallops - cooked perfectly and a perfect portion over grilled sweet potato medallions; and he had the lamb. I don't generally eat lamb, but the dish was wonderful, paired with the ancient grains with which it was served. For an extra kick we had the cacio e pepe, and house made pasta was very good. If you have room, try one of the desserts freshly made by the lady of the house. We had turtle cheesecake and an aperitif to end the amazing evening.
Please check it out, you will not be disappointed!
Heard great things about this place, so we thought we'd give it a try.
Service was wonderful.
Food was unique and very flavorful. We ordered a mixture of dishes and liked them all (wings, meatballs, burger, salad).
Dessert - I had to talk about this one separately. The rest of the food was good but this was amazing. Peanutbutter Cheesecake - creamy, not overwhelming, light and fluffy. Wow. We'll be going back for this for sure.
Went here for lunch midweek and was able to get a table outside. They have a pretty good beer selection and the menu had a few good looking options. I went with the banh mi, which was very good and had quite a bit of heat in some bites. I attempted to be healthy with the salad instead of fries, but the salad was not that good. Probably a simple lemon and oil dressing but a little too acidic for me, and the salad was pretty much just lettuce with nothing else to liven it up.
Best duck I have ever had. Incredible artisanal cocktails. The waitstaff was tremendous. One of the top meals I've had this year. Can't wait to go back.
Perfect for entertaining clients or impressing a date.
Really wonderful menu with such interesting choices. I had the gnocchi and really enjoyed it. Several of the apps that my group shared were very tasty as well. It is a small space, so better to come outside of prime dinner hour.
Excellent service, drinks, and food. Menu is fantastic each time it changes and the carrot cake is amazing. One of our favorite spots.
Tonight we had the fish fry and it is one of the best in the city.
Great neighborhood place, the quality of which you'd find in a cool neighborhood in a big city. I've eaten here about ten times and never had a bad meal or even a bad course. Specials are often particularly lovely, and often sell out. Craft cocktails demonstrate taste, creativity and skill. Quaint and quiet tables. Also, attractive bar is blend of modern and old school and makes a great place to have a meal and feel like a really cool regular. Highly recommended, a true five star place.
Food was outstanding, service was even better. Our server Danny totally made our evening with his humor and charisma. 10000% recommend and will be back!!!
This was the first time I have eaten here. the food and service was excellent. We had the braised ribs and it was tender and flavorful. My wife had the tile fish and it was one of the best seafood dishes she has had in Milwaukee. Overall we had a wonderful time and we will be back.
I've been eating here for a bit now and I am never let down. I've been getting their take out and everything is packed well. The buckleys burger and fries is my go to and has never been less than amazing. Highly highly recommend this place! If you're looking for a sign to order here, this is it!!
Great atmosphere and excellent service. Food was good, but not great. Will be back again to try other things off the menu.
If you are a local or visiting for a weekend you must, and I mean MUST stop at Buckley's for brunch. When I say I enjoyed myself, I definitely enjoyed myself! The experience and food were both on par! My husband and I have been a few times so my review is valid. Let's start! First let's talk about the vibe. If I have to describe the feel of the place think New Orleans -bourbon street meets Brooklyn brown stone.
We love Buckley's! The food is superb - get the truffle fried artichokes as an app. BUT WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT LEAVE WITHOUT GETTING THE CARROT CAKE. It will blow your mind. Enough said.
Buckley's is currently undergoing renovation and only a small part of the newly renovated dining interior is open for now. The open area is currently a newly built fill in of an old alley way, which you would have a difficult time guessing if you were new to the area and not on the sidewalk/patio seating area.
Good clean atmosphere, just stopped in for drinks with a client, the drink selection is good, with many local options.
Been there in November; I'm from Europe and I had tough times with food in US, but they served me the best burger I've ever had. My wife was thrilled with her fried chicken. The staff was very friendly and kind. Next time I go to Milwaukee, I will definitely visit again.
Had lunch on a weekday. Excellent Food and service. I must deduct one star for the noise level. An absolute deafening cacophony. Everyone at our table had to yell to be heard by the person next to oneself, and just forget about speaking to anyone further away. I highly suggest installing some sound absorbing decor. carpeting, textured ceiling or walls. Anything would help.
Excellent - love the visual vibe of the place, our waiter was attentive and very helpful, the food was terrific: fantastic burger, hand made pasta, a very different take on brussel sprouts, and solid Caesar salad with roasted romaine. Yum! Nice wine selection, too.
Lovely ambience. Excellent wait staff. Very inventive menu. I had the spinach and feta strata. It was garnished with a little salad of nice lettuces. I liked it and was pleasantly full.
Celebrated our anniversary at this small, but unique treasure of a restaurant. Smaller, delicious entrees served by knowledgeable wait staff. Impressive carrot cake homemade by owner. Love the black and white polka dot umbrellas on the outdoor seating. Fun, but elegant.
Small, intimate, cute, cozy atmosphere. Everything was excellent from the appetizers to the dessert. Our waitress was excellent. My only complaint was it was drafty when the door opened because there was no outdoor vestibule.
Excellent cocktails. Have not eaten here yet but the menu looks lovely as well. Love the cozy room and the bartender was knowledgeable and classically "Milwaukee Friendly" = everyone in this town is so damn NICE!
One of the best restaurants in Milwaukee overall. Server was friendly, knowledgeable and offered good recommendations; just the right amount of attentiveness. Only negative--kitchen was extremely slow. It took us 2 hours to eat dinner from 9-11pm, plan accordingly. The restaurant was not busy at 9pm; so, I can't imagine peak dinnertime.
A little small, but this is a fantastic restaurant with very nice and helpful wait staff. The food was great, the drinks were great. I happened to stop by with an employee after a light flight for a business trip and was pleasantly surprised with Buckley's. Definitely plan on going back the next time I go to Milwaukee.
For our first date, this was an excellent choice! The food was absolutely amazing but what really just MADE the experience was Maxwell! His service was flawless and his kindness was everything. Give him a promotion :)
Excellent dinner. I would definitely recommend the artichokes heart appetizer and the carrot cake. Our meals (steak and lamb) were also great.
Great venue with a fun vibe. Our server,Kayla,was very efficient and pleasant! We received just the right amount of attention! Food was delicious and served hot. Wonderful evening in all aspects.
Dinner at the bar was relaxed and filled with amazing food, drink and conversation with Wolfgang and other viaitors.
The salmon and berries was delicious and the carrot cake exceeded expectations!
A great choice for a wonderful meal. $50 covered everything including an excellent glass of wine chosen by Wolfgang tyo match my dinner.
Great covid-19 policy. Felt very safe. Comfortable ambiance with nice spacing. Staff was very attentive. Food was delicious. Especially loved the cheesecake.
Small and intimate. Really cozy & cute with GREAT food and a respectable wine list. The service is fast, friendly, and knowledgeable. I love this place! I try to stop every time I am in Milwaukee.
First time being here and the food was tastefully Executed Pork Bolognese sauce phenomenon, definitely will be returning again as there is a chancing seasonal menu🤘
Wolfgang the bartender is awesome and very knowledgeable!
Even under construction, my first visit this understated neighborhood spot known as Buckley's did not disappoint. I walked from the Westin so parking was not a consideration. The atmosphere, menu and service was exemplary. The carrot cake made by Mrs Buckley was to die for!
Absolutely one of the best restaurants in Wisconsin ! The food is absolutely incredible ! They have an absolutely Beautiful bar and serve handcrafted cocktails phenomenal beers and wines . Mike and his family are absolutely first class and top-notch they also do so much for the community . This is a must on any buddies list trust me you will not be disappointed !!!
Loved accidentally running into this quiant, little spot. The bloodies were delish and homemade, bahn mi and pasta were yummy, beet tartare was on point. All of the things, including the atmosphere, were so awesome. Wolfgang took great care of us. Apparently, it is meatloaf Monday every week, we didn't get it, but it looked sooo amazing I had to snap a picture of the guys plate next to me. Well done, will for sure be back for the meatloaf.
Spectacular, classy decor inside: great, creative menu! Great mixologists for cocktails. Friendly attentive wait staff.
Small and quaint. Eclectic menu, very date night centric. Staff was extremely helpful and considerate, allowing my family and I in out of the rain during Summerfest. There fish sauce chicken wings are something to tell mom about!
As a former Milwaukee resident, I have my go-to staples for places to go when I'm in town visiting. And Buckley's is top on that list. Amazing food, knowledgeable and friendly staff, and literally the best damn key lime pie I've ever had.
Never had a better lobster roll or New England clam chowder. Will be back! 🦞 …
Excellent service. Great food. Wonderful atmosphere. Really a nice gem of a place. Recommend you visit because I will! Like craft cocktails? You will enjoy this place!
If you like curry, you will not regret the Curry Gin Gimlet. So awesome! If I lived in MKE, this would be my go-to place for a drink. Great atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable servers.
High quality atmosphere, service, and cuisine. Beautiful venue, and the key lime pie was delicious! Fun, relaxed patio dining with friends on a beautiful evening.
Awesome brunch, *actually* spicy bloody mary's (sometimes places say that they're spicy, and they're not really thaaat spicy), and my table loved the poptarts (the whipped cream that they came with WAS amazing).
We were a party of 7 and we had amazing service!
Sat at bar. Ordered curry gin gimlet. Do not recommend.
Ordered grilled Caesar with oysters. Taste was great, portion was disappointing. 3 oysters the size of my thumb.
I am from Illinois and we were up here at the Irish festival when we saw this place and decided to stop in. Great bar, Amazing food, and the gentleman that runs the place was knowledgable about the food, what he had on the bar, and local places. The lobster roll was excellent.
Delicious food and friendly service. I plan to come back and often!
Had the privilege of joining my friend Adam Gollatz of #414chickensandwich to try this tasty Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich. Fried chicken thigh, homemade pickles and slaw. I loved the slaw!!
Food was fantastic, but Yelp said it was kid friendly and I would have to disagree. However they did accommodate with supplying a butter noodle option. We will probably be back minus our kiddo.
Amazing lunch, dinner and desert food. Some of the best staff and service I have ever had! Great location and atmosphere. Awesome alcohol selection and amazingly clean everything.
A little pricey but worth it. Wonderful drink menu. The remodeling and expansion of Buckley's is done very tastifully, and I think is one of nicest spots in the city now.
Great spot and the swordfish was delicious 🤤... Portion was a bit small but the dish was amazing. Great staff and ambiance as well.
New classy update to a great MKE spot. Staff here is top notch and food is always on point. Britt is the man. Daniel is the man. These guys know their craft. Also dreaming of that carrot cake again my gawd
I love brunch here!!
One of our favorite places to eat, whether el fresco (weather permitting) or on a cold evening. Stylish and upscale without being snobby, Buckley's offers great food, service, and a cozy atmosphere.
Excellent. Went for lunch. You need reservations to eat inside. Food was unexpectedly out of this world. Waiter was helpful and knowledgeable. Wish I got his name... Great service
As a local lunch spot, Buckley's is top notch. Great service, great food, great drinks. My go-to is their Bahn Mi, which is one of the best I've had.
I always enjoy eating at Buckley’s. The food is delicious and the service is great. I also appreciate not being rushed so they can turn the table over to another party.
The gnocchi with lobster is something to write home about! The short ribs fall apart like butter. The wild boar was tender and flavorful served with al dente pasta. Every single course was on point. The homemade carrot cake is made by "Ma Buckley" in house and will blow your mind! The server was kind and attentive. Very pleased and will return!
One of my very favorite restaurants in the city. The food is always outstanding (and not overly pricey), the cocktails are strong and delicious, and the vibe is upscale without being stuffy.
Food and service was excellent, however the wait time was miserably slow. Waited close to 25 mins for our appetizer to come and another 15 for the main course after. Not sure why because we came pretty late and the restaurant was about half filled.
You need to make a reservation if you want a table. They fit us in at the bar and we enjoyed a great meal, and a first class education from the two gents tending bar. We would go back in a heartbeat.
Incredible restaurant with terrific cocktails, awesome staff, excellent food, and one of the best fish frys in all of Milwaukee! Thanks and see you again soon!
The bartender as very knowledgeable and friendly, he made me a drink that wasnt on the menu and also made a spirit suggestion that really improved the drink. the food for lunch was really good and came pretty quickly.
I am not blaming this review on the restaurant, I guess I just had a different picture in my mind of what it would be like. All the hype of old family Italian grocery store, in the family for so many generations and passed down from family to staff as new owners...When we walked in on a Sat. night at...
The food was delicious and the vibe was laid back. We ate outside and had a great time!
Once again I had a wonderful lunch...pork sandwich and carrot cake were great. The chef is the best!! So glad you’re expanding!!
Fantastic meal great service and ambiance.
We will definitely be back
I think we were there on an off day. We sat down for Sunday brunch at 12:30 and it was almost 1:30 by the time we got our food, which was just meh. It seems like a nice enough place, tasteful and all, but I was not impressed.
Fatastic find! We had the perfect evening. The food was amazing, the service outstanding (thank you Daniel, you were the best). We cannot recommend this enough.
Wonderful food and great service! We went for brunch and the menu was limited but the food was delicious. I had the Lobster eggs benedict which was so good!
Upscale menu that has delicious food and drink options. On the pricier side, but you get what you pay for. Highly recommend. Service was also great
Great dinner spot. The food is top notch and the drink menu is fun. The service was exceptional. Will be back
Bahn Mi was amazing in my mouth.
Burger disappeared in my husband belly fast.
Dessert is to die for or just take home
Buckley s is only getting better,
Tried Buckley's for my birthday celebration and couldn't be happier! All the food we ordered was perfect, and the carrot cake was incredible!
Buckley's is my favorite restaurant in Milwaukee-- I walk by on my way to work in the morning and the owners are always outside at 745 am tending to the flowers and patio/sidewalk. They always are sooo friendly and really bring a smile to my face just by walking by in the morning!
When I get to stop their on weekends for brunch it's just amazing-- the duck confit ragu is insane-- so rich and delightful-- pair that with a habenero bloody mary and you have the perfect start to a lazy sunday.
Surely the best fish fry in the state of Wisconsin. Wonderful drinks, excellent food and great service. Also try the carrot cake!
Upscale neighborhood restaurant that doesn’t feel pretentious. This is where you want to hang out in the evenings, no matter a weeknight or date night. The food, ambiance, and staff are fantastic. 👏🏻 …
Wonderful atmosphere, great wine and food selections!
Great food and amazing drinks. Atmosphere was lively and staff very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed some great dishes and drinks.
The food was well prepared and the service was great. Solid dinner spot.
Buckley's, is a fantastic place! Some of the best food and service Milwaukee has to offer. Pray you get Max as your server.
Delicious curry potato soup and cauliflower unlike anything I have ever had. Great service. Small but unique place.
Always a pleasure. Great family operation that take pride in what they do the atmosphere, beverages, food and service. Thankful they found a home on the corner of Wells and Cass.
Someone needs to update Whyte America on the fact that BLK ppl ARE ALLOWED to eat where they are paying customers also.
Always fantastic food in a now upgraded space. Buckleys is a Milwaukee staple and should be on everyone's best of lists.
Really cozy spot with good food and friendly service. The outdoor tables are great on nice sunny days. The inside is intimate and comfortable.
Great service, food was delicious and excellent drinks.
I would like to meet the person who didn't give this place 5 stars. The food was amazing! This was a intimate setting with friendly service.
Top-notch service, great food selection and comprehensive beverage pairings. An atmosphere that invites you back without ever disappointing.
Great food, great service, great ambiance and take covid precautions seriously. Save room for their famous carrot cake!
Awesome cocktails, fun list. Good food. Really nice after the renovations.
Incredible food, great atmosphere. An absolute must visit for an intimate night out.
Everything on the Lamb Shank plate was delicious. Same for the artichokes for a starter. Loved all of it.
The food was actually really good and the young waiter we had was really good but it took almost two hours to get our food.
Great place. Came here for brunch. One of the best bloody Mary's I had in a long time. Get the poutune Fry's they are great
Nice menu at a beautiful space inside a restored residence. The bar boasts a very comprehensive selection of amaro.
Highly recommend the Buckley Burger. It is, so far, the best burger I have had in Milwaukee.
great place for a date and the food and the drinks amazing. can't wait to go back and eat again great service and very nice people.
Spectacular meal including dessert. And wonderful hospitality. Love the quality of food and unique choices.
Food was excellent with good size portions. But they could be more generous with the drinks
It's small quaint, great atmosphere good food. Even more beautiful freshly-made desserts
It seems cavernous since they've finished the expansion, but they've retained the cozy atmosphere and the food is still top notch.
Had lunch twice now. Fantastic salads. Fantastic mixologists behind the bar and the staff is top notch.
Everything was superb. Appetizers, entrees, cocktails, and dessert. Outstanding
Best outdoor seating in Milwaukee. Drinks are fabulous and the food is ever better. A Milwaukee must!

Ally B was our server for our first time here, she was absolutely wonderful. She deserves a raise! The food was wonderful, one of the best steaks I have ever had, the key lime pie for dessert was to die for!
My wife and I showed up without a reservation on a Saturday night and got seats at the bar. The three bartenders were entertaining and attentive. They have an extensive whiskey selection, and the food was phenomenal. Will definitely keep this place in mind next time we are back in Milwaukee.
It was okay at best. I went on Valentine’s Day so maybe it was too busy for them or whatever, I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. Anyways, I ordered the salmon as “medium” and it came out cold, not warm, or Luke warm, but cold. My significant other ordered the steak which was cooked to the right temp but the cut of the meat looked like what appeared to be flank steak; the price they’re asking for steak seems to be outrageous compared to what you’re getting.
The cocktails were amazing. I got the old fashion, it was pretty expensive ($15) but it was pretty good and came out fast.
The ambience and cleanliness at the restaurant are good too. The food just needed a little work.
(Translation) Excellent place to relax and enjoy a good selection of dishes and the atmosphere of this elegant city.

Ce restaurant est magique ! Quel que soit le plat choisi, c'est toujours une étonnante découverte de saveurs ! De la cuisson aux accompagnements en passant par les épices et assaisonnement, tout est parfait ! Pour les desserts même si le choix est restreint, la qualité est là ... Bref un passage obligé à Milwaukee !
(Translation) I stopped by without thinking about it, but it was the most delicious hamburger I ate in the US. But I'm not sure if it's friendly. It was just so good.

별 생각 없이 지나가다 들렸는데 미국 와서 먹었던 햄버거 중에 제일 맛 있었습니다. 근데 친절한지는 잘 모르겠습니다. 그냥저냥 좋았습니다.
