    We love Buckleys and go a ton of times but the last time, and again this time, we just weren't blown away. My medium cooked steak was overdone, the mac and cheese was salty, and the wedge had way too much dressing on it. Overall, still wonderful but I hope they are not falling off!

    Normally we have had good experiences with the food at Buckleys. However, not this time… the food was much too salty - way over the top with salt. The mashed potatoes didn’t taste fresh either. Maybe it was an off night for the chef or there was a staff shortage in the kitchen but the food was very disappointing. Other than that the service was fantastic - the waitress did a great job.

    My wife, her sister and her fiancé all enjoyed our getaway from Halloween chaos. Great clam chowder, perfectly cooked steak and a snickers tall cake were the highlights. As usual, the service was excellent!

    Buckley's is our favorite fine dining restaurant. The 8 oz filet mignon is the best I've ever had. The service is always exceptionally outstanding - Sengul was the best.

    We have been to Buckles for the second time and we have not been disappointed. We drove an hour to get there but it’s still the best of the best and we will be back soon. We live in Daytona Beach and have a cottage on Lake Contoocook for the summer and I googled the best 5 star restaurant in NH and you were the only one. Congratulations 🎉

    My wife and I recently celebrated our 45th anniversary at Buckley’s and we enjoyed it very much. My wife loved her wedge salad with blue cheese beginner while I also enjoyed my French Onion Soup. For entrees we both opted for their 16oz ribeye. Both were cooked to perfection and were tender and tasty. The atmosphere was terrific, maybe just a little moderately loud in our smallish dining room, but not loud enough to distract. Our server, Bill, was awesome. He greeted us immediately, was very knowledgeable of the menu making some suggestions along the way, was sociable, and attentive just enough. This was our first time back to Buckley’s in a handful of years. We will not wait as long for our next visit and we thank the restaurant and staff for a terrific anniversary dinner.

    My guest and I enjoyed a nice dinner at Buckley’s. We were originally seated in a second floor room but the manager noticed that the room was fairly noisy so he offered to move us to an adjacent quieter room which we did and happy he made the offer. We had a great server, although I think she had too many tables to cover. We did OK but an adjacent table had to wait a few times. My guest had the beef stroganoff and thought it was very good. I had the regular prime rib. It was also excellent but the side baked potato was pretty cool when it arrived. The Quilt red blend wine was outstanding. Highly recommend.

    The food at Buckleys is always exceptional. Have eaten there more than a few times and have never had a bad experience. I’ll waitress Erica was phenomenal. The buttermilk chicken is our favorite dish and even though their steaks are unbelievably good I could never bring myself not to get the chicken and the focaccia bread with oil starts off the meal wonderfully. The general manager, I believe greets us each time we dine there, and when he is checking on other guests meals, he always asks us how everything was. Great place great food and overall great people.
