“ Love this place! I always enjoy dining here. Nice menu of food & drinks. Great meals & service. ”

“ Nice spot! Visited on a springtime Friday evening-had reservations for three-I would recommend reservations, as it filled in quickly. Decent amount of parking in lot, but when busy, would fill up for sure. Waitress came to our table quickly with waters, then promptly served out drinks once ordered. We also received our apps very timely. Food was good, better than most reviews seem to communicate. Cool atmosphere, decent size bar, plenty of booths and tables. Definitely plan to return, now I see why it is so busy all the time. ”

“ Love this tavern. Rustic charming atmosphere with the fireplace on a chilly day. The service was excellent and they have the best French dip I've ever had. Pictured is the French dip and the beef lasagna. ”

“ We were looking for a place to enjoy brunch that was close to the Brandywine Museum. Also close by are Longwood and Winterthur. Someone recommended Buckley's Tavern and I'm glad they did. The atmosphere at the tavern is casually elegant, with a diverse menu to appeal to all. I had the mushroom soup, which was not a cream of mushroom but it almost tasted like stewed mushrooms. Delicious! I also had the crab cake sliders, which were seasoned just right. A few from our group ordered brunch special plates, and the breakfast meats were awesome. Service was perfectly understated. The game was on TV in the bar area, so a few of us lingered awhile and had a drink while watching the game. Very comfortable yet elegant place. ”

“ Glad we found this place a few years ago. Now every time we visit Longwood, we go here for dinner. The food is awesome! And our server this time was top notch! The building is very quaint, wood, stone, fireplace...how can you not love it?!? Look forward already to next year's visit! ”

“ Restauranting done right! The environment was cozy. They have outside seating when it's warmer. The service was fantastic. Taylor suggested the Riesling wine as it was their sweetest wine when I asked if they had Moscato. I loved that she knew without me asking, that I was looking for a sweeter wine. And the food. Oh my goodness. I had the Cubano sandwich and fries. Asked to replace the Dijon with BBQ as I'm not a mustard person. It was absolutely delicious. Not dry at all. My friend had the Buckleys Burger and Fries and she, being a picky eater, actually cleared her plate. If you haven't already eaten here, put it on your places to eat in Delaware or even Southeastern PA as it's right over the line on 52. ”

“ Each time we go, this place gets better. We were there recently, for dinner. Nice glass of Chardonnay, water for me wife, followed by scallops and risotto for her, and fish and chips. Except mixed veggies instead of chips. And here is the thing, the veggies were really, really good. Cooked perfectly and served with butter. The fish was great--nice pieces of freshly prepared haddock. My wife was raving about the scallops--also fresh. Service was friendly and prompt, with good suggestions on the food. The tavern room is much much nicer than the back rooms. Ask for the tavern area and get seafood!! This trip was a solid 5. ”

“ Lovely crowded brunch place and since it's my fourth time trying this restaurant and hoping for a result I enjoy...it was still a mixed bag. I enjoyed my rare tuna with sticky rice. My husband however had a burnt dry Chinese Milanese with broccoli..eh...and mashed potatoes which were not served hot. I liked the onion rings. The wagyu burger was loved by the other people we came with.. The egg specials were just ok. That's that! ”

“ We spent the morning at Winterthur and our friends had made a reservation to have lunch at Buckleys Tavern at 2:00 PM. We arrived a little early for our reservation, and they very kindly found a table for us. This is a large restaurant that can accommodate bus groups which was happening when we were there. There are multiple dining areas. The restaurant has been around since 1817 and survived many uses. It became Buckleys Tavern in 1951 and is still going strong today. We were seated in the bar, which had a charming atmosphere. We were so impressed that even though it was completely full of dining patrons, we could easily converse with each other. This was a pleasant and welcome change from most restaurants where the noise is deafening. We were warmly greeted by our server, Andrea, who took excellent care of us. We started off with one of their Signature Appetizers - the Soft Pretzel Sticks, which were three German style pretzel sticks with honey mustard. They were warm and the mustard was delectable. Being in mushroom country, I started with a bowl of the Buckley's Exotic Cream of Mushroom Soup with crispy leeks. It was exotic and loaded with a variety of mushrooms with a delicate flavor. Then, I moved on the Roasted Mushroom Flatbread, which was topped with caramelized onions, fontina cheese, & balsamic drizzle. I was in heaven. My husband had the Chef Tom's New England Clam Chowder, which was thick and had bacon, potatoes and clams. He really liked his soup. He also enjoyed the large portion of Fish & Chips, which was fried Pollock and French fries with a malt vinegar aioli. He also asked for tartar sauce. Our friends ordered the Chef HB's Meatloaf dinner, which was made with beef, pork, and veal with mashed potatoes, vegetable medley, and beef gravy as well as a Turkey Club (smoked bacon, lettuce, and mayonnaise on white toast). They ordered a Coconut Cream Cake (coconut genoise and coconut cream layers iced with vanilla Chantilly cream.) It looked delicious. We were all thrilled with our meals, the service, and the setting. We look forward to coming again the next time we drive up from Baltimore. ”
