We really enjoyed our visit here on a recent Saturday evening. We sat at the bar and were taken care of by Tyler & Co. Good cocktails-the Old and in the Way was my choice. The lamb lollipop was a great start-it's one chop, so I recommend one per person...you won't be disappointed-sauce and accompaniments were right on, and served over a mini saganaki. Short rib pasta was solid, while the pork chop was excellent. Chili oil infused sauce was just the right amount of heat, while pureed black beans with fried plantains on top went with it well. Their carrot cake is a good representation of this staple dessert. read more

Great atmosphere. Love the layout and cozy place. It was a bit noisy in there and hard to hear my partner, but the group next to us was large and have a good time, so I'll chalk it up to that. I ordered the mushroom ragu and loved it. I had plans to take some home but before I knew it, I looked down and it was almost gone. A very impressive NA menu as well which was really nice to see. Carrot cake for dessert because it's always tremendous. Service was top notch as well. They do things very well here. read more

I'm honestly blown away that I've never been to Buckley's before... because this place is phenomenal. From the moment we walked in, the experience was excellent. We started with cocktails at the bar, and Tyler crafted some truly beautiful drinks. Thoughtful, balanced, and made with care... such a great way to kick off the evening. Once seated in the dining room, our server was attentive, warm, and lovely. We began with the carpaccio and a fall-harvest style salad (can't remember the exact name)... both were absolutely delicious. For mains, we shared three dishes, and I genuinely can't pick a favorite... they were all outstanding. The prosciutto-wrapped halibut with mushroom risotto was rich and perfectly executed. The roasted squash and broccoli over peanut mole was unique, flavorful, and beautifully plated. And the housemade pappardelle with shrimp, fennel, and nduja was perfection... fresh pasta with incredible depth of flavor and a spicy kick. Everything we ate was balanced, thoughtful, and just plain delicious. Buckley's is officially going on my heavy rotation... absolutely worth a visit if you haven't been! read more

Such a cool place! I love the vibe and decor here - very Gatsby/ Art deco. Our server, Faith, was oversat but was pleasant. I wasn't super hungry so I opted for a glass of wine, an app (lamb lollipop), and dessert (carrot cake). My date had the smash burger and chocolate cake. Not a cheap place but a very nice meal. read more

We can't believe such a delicious restaurant was in our backyard this whole time!!! We went to Buckley's for my birthday dinner and had an amazing time! Our waitress was awesome and the food was just as great!! The empanadas were an amazing start and knew we were in for a treat for the rest of the meal! They have the best pork chop in Milwaukee. Yes I said it!! David and I both agreed that the salmon was great but the pork chop was absolutely incredible. Only thing I would pass on are the drinks. I personally was not a fan of any of the drinks (also got a cranberry mule not pictured). FYI for your birthday they do not give any complimentary dessert, unfortunately.... David and I want to come back during the week and get the smash burger and try their dessert! We loved this place and will definitely be back. read more

My partner and I had a craving for dessert and remembered a friend of ours shared that they had recently gotten a really great piece of carrot cake at buckley's! It was a Friday night so we called to ask about availability and they said they'd be able to seat us in 30 min. We drove over and were greeted by the hostess and waiter who took our order. The carrot cake was nice and fluffy and had a great frosting on it, not super sweet but sweet enough. I had a seasonal pumpkin cognac cheesecake that was extremely tasty as well. The place was lively and had a great set of art and decors throughout. I'm excited to go back and check out their bar area and the rest of their dinner menu! read more

We stopped in for a bite after spending some time at Agency for drinks. We had the steak tartare, the spicy vodka pasta and the octopus tostada. Part of our party had the house burger and fries and also another steak tartare. Firstly the dedicated server was fantastic. She was all smiles, kind, helpful and made our experience very pleasant. Our group shared these three items for tastes. The tostada was not my favorite. The octopus overwhelmed the tostada and it didn't work for me. The vodka pasta was not spicy. It had a mild little nudge that said "hello- do you notice me?" It wasn't spicy. Which may be perfect for someone who does not care for spice. But, I appreciate spice and missed it. The steak tartare was delish. Beautiful and tasty. The house burger and fries and other steak tartare were throughly enjoyed by our dinner mates. The company we shared was fun and so the night was successful. For the vibe and ambiance and service and food- overall combined- I'm sure you would enjoy a trip to Buckley's. read more

TL:DR - decent execution of poorly designed recipes. Wow- I really don't get it. I mean, I was underwhelmed 13 years ago, but I figured if Buckley's stayed in business this long, they must be doing something right. Right? And who knows, maybe they are. Maybe January 3, 2026 was just the B team in the kitchen, or an off night, or I just have bad luck; whatever the case, I don't know if anyone could convince me to give it a third try. Unironically, our server seemed completely unenthused about the whole menu; I guess I now understand why, because I would probably have to be honest about it too if I was a server. Some of the issues were the cooking that was done tonight, but I would say 90% of the failures were from the original recipes themselves, including cocktails. The execution was actually pretty decent, but you can't polish a turd, as the kids say. As a result, it's not like we could really send anything back, right? Like what am I going to say, this dish sucks, please have the kitchen reinvent it for me? I found myself wondering if the menu was drafted by a skilled writer instead of a chef. Just to legitimize this review, since everybody seems enthralled by this place, I feel inclined to list off everything I tried between my orders and those of my dining companions, with notes. So here goes: Focaccia - house made, tall, good airy crumb, served cold with nothing else, which left what should've been a crusty top kinda just chewy - very boring, bland, basic, and I suggest you go get some focaccia at Birch if you want something memorable. Carpaccio - best food of the night for sure, but still just a 7-8 out of 10 for me. Again, for the price point just go get something way better elsewhere, like Morel. Carrots- flavorless carrots swimming in some kind of fat. Butter, I guess, since it congealed on my plate when it got cold. I can't really judge if they hit the target of what they were aiming for with this one, because I couldn't tell what they were even trying to do. Empanadas- what the fuck. Just don't, honestly please don't order these. Go to literally anywhere else that sells empanadas if you want empanadas. The nicest thing I can say about them was that I could tell they were definitely food. Go try empanadas from chef Ana at Cavas, or go to Cocina Del Sur, or even La Masa, hell, go get some from the deli case at El Rey, or try making them yourself without a recipe and I swear they'll be better than these. Salmon with wasabi caviar- the salmon was cooked beautifully. There was little flavor in the fish itself, even the wasabi caviar was bland, I don't even know how. The whole thing was served on plain, unseasoned white rice. Honestly I think this was the most uninspired dish imaginable. I truly can't comprehend how this one made the menu. Bucatini carbonara- I guess it technically had all the elements found in carbonara. There are enough Italian places in Milwaukee, you could throw a rock in any direction and break a window of a place serving a better carbonara; this one, like most of our food, lacked flavor and needed salt. Chicken Marsala- ok this one actually had some flavor. I only had a bite, but after trying all the above, I was definitely jealous of my friend who ordered something that didn't need salt (or a complete throw-it-in-the-trash overhaul) Cocktails were also just not very good. The gin curry thing had so much potential, but really fell flat and just tasted like a curry-ass cup of gin. I had a mezcal drink that was just ok. Dessert was a resounding "Nope" from everyone at the table. We wouldn't have said no to a complimentary dessert, as our server knew we were celebrating a birthday, but there was nothing noteworthy done by anyone at the restaurant other than a quick "happy birthday" verbalized at the start. We certainly weren't going to pay money for more food after what we had experienced to that point. read more

My favorite thing about Buckley's is the bar and the carrot cake! I love the ambiance- very romantic. Dim lighting, candles, soft music as background noise, and modern nouveau decor. And the cocktails are always great- the bartenders are very knowledgable and know how to make a good drink. The bartenders are also friendly and listen to their customers. If there's something specific you're looking for, they'll take the time to make it! The carrot cake is AMAZING!!! I love all of their desserts but that one is my favorite. Most of the dinner entrees are also very good. I love their salad options and salmon. The carrots in maple brown butter are delicious. My only complaints are 1. The parking and 2. Sometimes the entrees can are hit or miss. I usually stick with what I know. read more

Buckley's is my favorite restaurant in Milwaukee, hands down. I love the vibe of this place--very chic and welcoming, and the recent expansion makes it so easy to get a table when you stop by. Service is always spectacular. I loved my salmon entree, and we shared a piece of cheesecake after dinner that was downright heavenly. The food here is always good, no matter what you get. read more

My husband and I came here on a Saturday evening recently for just a date night and to try out a new place and I'll just cut right to the chase: it was FANTASTIC. We had made reservations ahead of time and while I would still recommend that, there were a couple tables next to the us that were empty almost the whole time we were there. It overall looked like a busy place though and I can definitely see it filling up especially on the weekends! We were seated right away. The interior is very beautiful, modern, and clean. It wasn't too loud and it was easy to have a conversation without having to strain. Hunter was our waiter and he took great care of us! I started with a gin and elderflower cocktail whose name I can't remember now and my husband got the Old and In the Way - both were amazing. Mine was sweet and floral - perfect for summer and a very easy sipper! My husband's was a bit more liquor-forward, but tasty in its own right and he loved it. We started with the grilled broccoli. It was cooked to perfection and the sauce on it was everything. My only critique would be that it needed more sauce for my taste or alternatively a bit more salt. My husband then got the Buckley's Burger with fries on the side and I got the vodka pasta. We did ask if we could get a side of the Truffle cheese whiz to go with our fries, which Hunter made happen for only $1 extra to the bill! This homemade cheese whiz was EVERYTHING. It had the perfect amount of truffle and was the perfect dipping accompaniment to the fries. I would walk back for the cheese alone! My husband thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the burger, which looked very saucy! My vodka pasta, even though it didn't look like anything special, was very yummy. It wasn't spicy, but the flavor was very very good and the sauce was super creamy. We of course couldn't leave without dessert and I have to tell you... do NOT skip dessert! We got the seasonal cheese - a salted caramel Bailey's and chocolate cheesecake - to go, which we enjoyed at home with a homemade Italicus spritz and the only regrets we have about that is that we had to share it. It was absolutely sublime - sweet, creamy, salty, made to literal heavenly perfection. All other cheesecakes for me are ruined. The only snafu of the night was that we accidentally took both receipts at the end of the night, after which we got a call from the restaurant notifying us of the mistake. I called right away and they didn't even ask that we bring it back, only asking how much we had tipped - so so nice of them after we made the mistake! read more

Buckley's is that perfect mix of cozy charm and elevated dining. Everything was delicious, but I have to call out the halibut saltimbocca - it was the star of the night. And save room for the chocolate cake - trust me! The service was warm and attentive without being overbearing. Highly recommend! read more

Overall Pros: - ambiance: the restaurant and patio are both beautiful and cozy - service: our server was super attentive and gave us a lot of great suggestions when we were stuck - bar: great selection as well as many NA drink options - dessert: everything was house made and the perfect way to finish off the evening For starters, we tried the sourdough (not the prettiest presentation, but still solid albeit a little overpriced) , truffle fries and roasted brussels. We next had the vodka pasta & chop chicken salad. Finished the meal with the key lime pie and seasonal cheesecake offering. Overall consensus from the group - the food was good, but the dessert was definitely the show stopper. I plan to come back and try some of the other main course options in the future to see how they compare! read more

I have been aware of Buckley's for decades. It was a tiny place when it first opened, run by the former wife of Benji, the famed delicatessen maven. We returned last night, and Buckley's has grown exponentially. With two bars and multiple rooms, the place is huge. Somehow, the separate rooms help provide intimacy despite the square footage. Our meal reflected a system of apartheid. My wife and I were served food that was on the lower end of mediocre, but our friends' raved about their dinners. In fact, one of them proclaimed their Halibut the best seafood they ever tried. My Friday fish fry consisted of two minuscule pieces of Haddock with a bunch of tasteless fries. The pasta my spouse ordered was decidedly unmemorable. My buddy declared his steak delicious. Service was entertaining, but perhaps the fact she seemed to enjoy our friends more than us had an effect on their dinner. She proclaimed herself a licensed sommelier when I started commenting on dry rieslings from Germany and Austria. I think my commentary irked her, but I did study wine in France in the 1990s, but older men need to keep their mouths shut these days and learn to just smile and nod. Whatever, our Key Lime pie and cheesecake were not good either. We split the bill, and mine came to $247.00 with 20 % tip. I thought that expensive, but I'm old and know squat. By the way, if you use a credit card at Buckley's, you get charged 3%. read more

Finally made it into Buckleys for dinner. I've heard so many great things about their food, but unfortunately was disappointed. We ordered the sourdough started as recommended by our server over the focaccia. It was very meh...nothing special and definitely not worth $12. The foccacia looked much better when we saw it come out to other tables. We also ordered the spicy vodka pasta and the fried artichokes. Both were good, but nothing super special...I'd say the pasta was my favorite item, but it could've used more sauce and wasn't very spicy. Overall the service was good and the food was ok...but I'd probably go elsewhere read more

Service is fantastic. Atmosphere is homey and food is spectacular. Highly recommend this place. Desserts are also great

We found ample free parking across the street on Saturday night, which was a pleasant surprise! Sat at the bar before dinner and cocktails were good but very loud space! Seated the 4 of us in front of fireplace which was much quieter and all enjoyed our meals. My lobster pasta dish had plenty of lobster, and sauce and pasta good but lacked flavor. The beet salad was delicious and large enough to share. My husband enjoyed his beef short rib with pasta, but it didn't look as expected as beef kind of hidden under the sauce. Atmosphere is great in a renovated older home, and not dark as the website pictures looked. Pleasant surprise! Lively and busy! Staff all very pleasant and professional! We all shared 2 desserts and tasted excellent...key lime pie and chocolate mousse (my fave) read more

Great food and fun atmosphere! I've stopped by for drinks but this was my first time getting food and it was great! Beautifully decorated interior and outside tables as well. We started with the Silky Collins and the Jupiter Jazz. Fun cocktails before splitting the empanadas. They had 2 fresh sauces that paired well together. Perfect for sharing. For entrees we get the spicy vodka sauce pasta and burger with truffle fries. Pasta was the perfect cream to tomato ratio with a good level of spice. Burger was cooked perfectly medium rare and the fries were crispy and well seasoned. We finished with salted cheesecake and carrot cake. All made in house and were my favorite part! You definitely need to leave room for dessert. The carrot cake was the best I've ever had. The cream cheese frosting was smooth and complimented the cake well. The cheesecake was also a hit. Our waitress was great and service was fast. Perfectly spaced out our courses and sold us on the espresso martini (not pictured) and desserts. Looking forward to coming again! read more

I ordered the tahini broccoli which was really poorly cooked broccoli and some dry tahini at the bottom of the plate, it was pretty awful.

The food is good, the cocktails are great, and the bartenders can hang when we talk about anime, so of course this place rules.

It is no coincidence or stroke of luck that Buckley's has been around so long and is thriving even post-covid. They have earned their wonderful reputation and I am so glad I finally got to try their delicious food! Such a great experience! Before anything else, I have to talk about the vibes. It was a beautiful day, and part of the reason we picked Buckley's was for the patio. It's hard to provide ambiance on a patio, but they manage to make it flow perfectly. My friend and I enjoyed the oldies playlist they were playing so much - just the right combination of upbeat and chill - that we asked them which playlist they used (in case you're wondering: Wolfgang, the bartender, had "War Radio" playing on Pandora because that band was playing at Summerfest that night). We came for the carrot cake (yes, it was as divine as everyone claims it is! Best I've ever had, hands down) but stayed for the food. Here's what we got: Jupiter Jazz: I'm always a sucker for a good gin drank and this was such a fitting name for the perfect summer patio drink! We both liked it so much we had seconds Truffled fried artichokes: I thought these were going to be very crispy and greasy, but they were just the perfect combination of soft artichoke hearts and crispy edges with a hint of truffle so that it's not overwhelming and not too greasy! Also just the right portion for an appetizer to keep you satisfied while you wait for the main course Pork Schnitzel: a different approach to schnitzel, adding ground hazelnuts in the breading. An appropriate lighter fare for summer that paired well with the salad of strawberry, rhubarb and a light vinegrette. And I got a side of the parsnip cauliflower mash with it, which was fabulous White Lamb Bolognese: while everything was delicious, this was the star of the show IMO. The ground lamb paired perfectly with their light white cream sauce. It was perfectly hearty (Pasta! Lamb! Cheese!) without feeling heavy Of course the carrot cake gets a second mention because it is the bomb.com ! Also it's HUGE! We split a piece and barely finished half of it. I very much appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet. The cream cheese frosting tasted like it was balanced with buttercream so that it wasn't too heavy or sweet. read more

Honestly I went to this place a couple months ago and it was awesome. The menu was amazing, especially the burger. We went last night and the whole menu was different. Their service was still nice and the waitress was very cool. But the menu was atrocious. I tried the burger again and honestly they tried to do wayyyyyy too much. It used to be a simple burger now they put elote and DORITO CHIPS. It seemed so cheap and everything did not mix. If this place reads their reviews please take that off the menu, you have ruined what used to be an awesome burger. The place is nice and I love the vibe but this was bad and it felt like a waste of $200. read more

I pass my gratitude to Kayla for her readily-adaptive and affirming service with the suggestion of a delicious and nutritious ginger tea (prepared to the perfect temperature where it didn't need to cool), as well as her happiness in changing a few ingredients in the Baby Greens salads for me to enjoy. Such joyous and still relaxing energy being taken great care of as the sun set on the patio. The kitchen staff perform so efficiently too as their pacing of the meal was impressive. - Excellent work on all fronts. Looking forward to savoring the Waseda Farms burger patty next time! Elegantly crafted and collaboratively executed, Buckley's peaks my interest in a major way because of how intentional the family ownership approach, and, consistency in experiential attention to detail is in everything from front and use of color in the website, to the freshness and presentation of rainbow beat salad. Thank you so much for this. I am humbled by your dedication to accommodating the interests of guests and building a strong community in our busy city. read more

How have I never been here before? Seriously the bartenders are some of the most knowledgeable I have met. You can ask them about any drink or particular liquor and they will know how to make it or pair it. The atmosphere is intimate and I really like sitting on the bar side. Plus you get to converse with the bartenders. There are ton of regulars here so you know it's a solid place. I shared some appetizers with a friend and we had the lamb lollipop and the truffled fried artichokes. My lamb was perfectly done and I honestly wanted another one. The fried artichokes were okay but I thought they were a bit over caramelized but that could just be a personal taste issue. With the chives, truffle oil, and parmesan I expected a little more delicate taste. The customer service is killer as well so that really makes this place special! read more

I had the pleasant opportunity to finally go to Buckley's. The service was very friendly and the seating was very appropriate for social distancing. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, without being intrusive! I knocked a star off for the price and the fact that they did not offer any gluten free options. I feel like for the price of the meals you'd think they'd cater to more dietary restrictions, but they do not. The price for one person (app, drink and entree) was $70. For what I got it seems a lot but I'll say this, the food was good! I got a bloody Mary's which was very good. I ordered the pork bolognese and the truffle artichokes. All very delicious. I came here on a date. It's a very elegant but laid-back place for a first date. My date got the burger and fries and that looked good as well. read more

If you are in Milwaukee, I highly recommend Buckley's. The food was amazing. The mushroom ragu pasta was a huge portion and masterfully executed. I loved the Rueben kale salad. Service was great, especially by the bartender who invented the warm blanket. Order the warm blanket or you'll be sad that you missed out on one of the most amazing cocktails ever created. The restaurant is very relaxing. Overall very nice experience and I'd be there every week if I lived close by. read more

The bar area was hopping on a Thursday night, and I'm happy we reserved a high-top table for 2 in the bar. Felt like "the place to be," although the dining room area looked beautiful and cozy, too. Cocktails = Outstanding. I tried "The House Blanket" which was Reposado tequila with chai-infused vermouth and other complimentary vanilla & spice flavors. Wife went with red sangria. Truffle Fries were a nice starter as we perused the menu and savored our cocktails. For entrees, we shared the Faroe Island Salmon and Seafood Risotto. The Thai coconut sauce on the salmon & vegetable rice pilaf was incredible. Enjoyed sauvignon blanc with dinner. There are so many more starters and mains that we want to try! Dessert is a must at Buckley's. We finished our meal with Carrot Cake and Seasonal Cheesecake to-go. Exceptional restaurant in a charming & not too congested location within Downtown Milwaukee. In other words, plenty of parking options nearby and tucked away from the ultra-busy streets of Downtown. We'll be back soon! read more

Buckley's is a quiet, quaint restaurant in the heart of downtown Milwaukee that 100% needs to be on your list of places to go.

6 or 7 stars out of 5 if I could! This is is an absolute gem in Milwaukee's vast food scene. Every time I make a trip up to this city, a visit to Buckleys is MUST. I originally found this spot when searching for an anniversary dinner and now visit a couple times a year. Buckleys exudes a classic, homey, and simply stunning ambiance. Set inside a residence converted restaurant, the attention to detail is clear to see, even down to the welcoming hosts at the door. Make sure to have a reservation, although I have been able to get in a few times without one, it does seem proffered. Staff is knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. Last comment on the space: perfect place to come on a cold night, perfectly warm in temperature and tone here. Eating at Buckleys is an upscale experience. On to the food: a glass of Chardonnay always accompanied my meals here. The menu is not pages long, which is a good sign that a restaurant does a select few things really well, and that's what you will find here. The menu does seem to change though. The first visit did not have this wonderful schnitzel and I was delighted to find it there yesterday. It was genuinely better than the schnitzel's I had in Germany and Austria., which still remaining authentic. A fabulous dish I would value way over the price, as it was truly excellent. Note: you may order an appetizer of bread and butter if you are looking for a little something before dinner. While I have had appetizers here in the past, yesterday we were not as hungry as times before. Cheesecake and coffee for dessert are the most appropriate way to finish up the meal and this real view. Warm, refined, sweet, and elegant. Book a reservation here, you will not regret it. Although I hesitate saying anything as I wish this place to remain under the radar for as long as possible, mostly for selfish reasons. read more

Enjoyed a very romantic valentines dinner here with my boyfriend. Our waitress was very energetic and seemed to know the menu very well. We started off with the focaccia and a French onion soup which was one of the best parts of dinner. The drinks were very good as well, but on the pricy side. I had the salmon with the coconut sauce and it was very good! I don't usually like coconut but this cause was really delicious. My boyfriend had a steak dish that was phenomenal. The food was a 10/10 for sure. It seemed like everyone else in the restaurant was having just as good of a time as us. Very good restaurant and a great time! read more

100% Recommend!! My husband and I dined at Buckley's on a Thursday night to celebrate our one-year anniversary. It was our first time dining here and we chose it just because it was really close to our hotel. Indeed it was worth it and beyond our expectations! The environment and service were both great. We had the Pei mussels and curry cauliflower as the starters and shared the white lamb Bolognese as the main dish. The food was really tasty and flavorful. The homemade pasta for the white lamb Bolognese (and the sauce of course) was amazing! We also had a slice of chocolate cake as the dessert. The server/restaurant was really considerate to light us a candle, knowing that it was our anniversary. That was super sweet. The cake was also delicious. Overall I would definitely recommend this place! read more
