We've stopped here twice for lunch when in town and it was excellent both times. Flatbreads and sandwiches, and comfortable decor. We didn't sit outside, but it's an option. read more

First let me say, Framingham needs a LOT more places like this... Restaurant bars with a patio and good food; and a lot LESS chain restaurants and fast food! Reason for 4 (instead of 5) stars... Terrible bourbon and spirits selection, terrible club music, and very little 'dairy free' options on the menu (I know this is only a concern for some not all). Also the house Italian salad dressing was a thick, tangy yuck but the salad itself was fresh and well done. That aside... Food was delicious; our table tried a pretty wide selection of items from the menu and everything was fresh and good. The scallops and wings were probably my favorite; the salmon tacos were also great. The service was also excellent. We'll definitely be back. read more

Food absolutely delish. Fried pickles, pork gyro, pastas, all great. Very loud music is not necessary. Chairs painfully bad. If you want to feel like a Corgi in a Thundershirt... have a seat. read more

Got takeout this evening. The process of ordering was quick and easy and the food was ready quite quickly for a Friday evening. The hostess was welcoming and the food was ready on time. So certainly a good sign that they have takeout squared away early on in their time. The food was great, with a wide range of influences. If you've been to Mazi in Ashland, you will recognize some dishes but they continue to stand out. The pork gyro and bao buns were both promptly devoured. Only gripe is that the parking there is quite tough. The restaurant has fairly limited spaces and there were a number of us circling trying to find something. Its not clear whether you'd be welcome to park in the apartment complex or their leasing office lot. All in all, a very welcome addition to the Framingham restaurant roster, read more

I ordered the most delicious salad- seared tuna, green beans, hard boiled eggs, spinach. They were nice enough to substitute the cucumber for carrots. It was the best salad around Framingham. Our 2nd time there- great service, personable & attentive staff, indoor or outdoor seating. Highly recommend, even though I'd like to keep it a secret read more

Nice local place bar restaurant. Closed Monday's . Parking a bit tight A somewhat of a Greek theme. Burgers very good. Avoid shrimp add ons. Overpriced, few and small read more

I would rate this a 4.3, but Yelp doesn't make that possible Let's start with the service. Buckley had no wait time and the food took around 15-20 minutes to come after we ordered. Our server was very nice and took care of our needs. The restrooms were very clean and there were TVs in every direction you looked. The lighting was nice and there were small fire pillars outside that also contributed to the "chill" feel of the restaurant. Finally, the food. We had four dishes, and all of them were great! First, the Chicken Gyro. It was very nice, but a little dry, also flavorful. 3.5/5. Next, the Pork Souvlaki. The pork was very juicy and flavorful. 4.5/5. Next, the Chili (Soup of the Day). The dish looked small, but was very filling. There was nothing amazing about it, but was good. 4/5. The breads in both the Souvlaki and Chili tasted as they were freshly made. The Pita bread blended with the Chili nicely. Finally, the Burger. We ordered it medium with cheese and bacon, and the bacon was AMAZING. It was thick and juicy, and so was the beef. The vegetables throughout the meal felt fresh, including the potatoes which were very nice. The fries were great, but the truffle and regular fries looked and tasted similar, and I couldn't find a big difference. 3.1/5. The sweet potato fries were a whole different story. They were so crispy and felt like they were the freshest potatoes ever. 4.8/5 read more

Super nice staffs, we brought a small dog in stroller and they let us stay in because it was so windy outside. It was our second time there and I was surprised by the quality of foods! They are goooooood! They know what they are doing. If you live around the area, you must try this place! read more

Great food and terrific service. The drinks are fantastic. My favorite dishes: shrimp tacos, lamb lollipops, chicken wings with sweet chili sauce, and of course the burger! Great outdoor patio or inside dining, and great bar. A fun place! read more

Food okay, but not much choice for brunch. NO milk.. Small menu, didn't even have pancakes. Nothing for kids. No kids menu. We got the chicken sandwich, pulled pork Poutine, and freclnch toast for the kids. The chicken sandwich was the best. Although I wish it wasn't soaked in butter. Kids didn't touch the French toast because it was smothered in rasbury preserve. Wish they had pancakes. Tater tots were very greecy. The poutine was also a Greece mess. The tater tots became a greecy mash and were unrecognizable. read more

Great atmosphere, great service, and absolutely amazing food! 8 Oz. Angus Burger with sweet potato fries.

Gone to this place a few times. For the most part the food is very tasty. I find some of the items too small of a portion for the $$ and others are just right. Drinks are great. Got the meatball appetizer in July with a group, was so good, I ordered one to bring home. I called and inquired about the meatballs today and was told that there are 3-4 in the portion. In July it was 8-9 small ones. The hostess said the menu hadn't changed...? That doesn't sound right. read more

The food here is fantastic and we have yet to be disappointed by anything we've eaten. The souvlaki, gyro, meatballs, and lamb lollipops were incredible. Also shout out for having a dessert display tray and options outside the norm. Definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. read more

Stay away. Overpriced medicore food served by hostile server. Food took way to long to arrive, one meal was cold, the other was overcooked. chick File has a better sandwich at half the price. Service was indifferent, Nicole is NOT a friendly bartender, in fact she was borderline rude. I won't be back. read more

Solid option for lunch/dinner. Food has been reliably good. Bar area seems steadily busy but not overcrowded. Recommend!

Nice atmosphere. We had the classic flatbread & lamb lollipops. The tzatziki was spot on...delicious & home made. Relaxing atmosphere. A great find! read more

The Buckley Kitchen & Bar - Lamb lollipops. - New American Near Me - Framingham, Massachusetts

The ambiance is absolutely lovely. The space is naturally bright and filled with greenery. The restaurant was not too loud, either. The food was delicious and I would highly recommend the Buckley piña coolada. The staff was attentive and friendly. read more

Great atmosphere, service was great and the food was also delicious. Can't wait to go back!

Ordered a $17 salad and it was legitimately tragic. Huge chunks of romaine as if they couldn't bother to chop it, two slices of cucumber and 2 tiny pieces of grilled halloumi that were so dry and shriveled up. Legitimately got robbed with this salad. read more

Food was delicious, service was fantastic (and fast!) under normal circumstances but especially right now, atmosphere was great. The manager was there and seemed very involved and cared about the guest experience. read more

I tried this place several times and it's always great. The entire staff works together nicely. The drinks and food are good and the attentiveness of the bar staff is always on point. They did an A+ job with the decor and atmosphere Shannon was unreal. Her willingness to go above and beyond was two levels higher than most people's ceiling. read more

Good food and service at reasonable prices. Greek specialties are excellent and good values. Pleasant seating with good seasonal outdoor option. read more

Food is decent, service is decent. It's a nice option in Framingham which doesn't have a lot of cute and interesting restaurants.

The ambiance is stark and boring. The food lis lacking. Service is very slow. This place could be so good with a little more effort on their part to justify the prices. read more

Checked this place out for the first time, it 's a pretty cool place to hang and have a couple drinks and some good bar food, my review is specific to wings and Bloody Mary,s, the bloody's where mediocre and the buffalo wings where terrible, although to a non-wings snob, as I am (Been from the anchor bar and Duff's in Buffalo to DJ's in Hyannis) might find them delightful. They might be using frozen wings, which is a disaster from the start, but not sure about that one but it is worth checking out The Buckley, Cheers. read more

It was ok. It doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. The decor is cool and funky. And then you open the menu expecting cool funky cuisine and it's not. It's burgers, Salads and pasta. Super basic. Not terrible. But the vibe of the restaurant doesn't match the menu. Had the fish tacos. They were ok. Korean bbq wings were also just ok. Side salad was basic and uninspired. Wouldn't go back. There are better places to go. read more

Stopped in for lunch yesterday. Everything was spot on fabulous, from the service to the food! Lamb lollipops and fried oysters to start were delicious. Mediterranean sandwich, gyro, and beet salad were all generous portions and awesome flavors. Fair prices, friendly staff. Parking is tight. read more

Awesome burger and French fries! Hot and yummy! Highly recommend. Service was great and nice location. read more

I discovered The Buckley last year and keep coming back. The food is consistently delicious and served with a flair. They have outdoor dining and a friendly bar. Aneil, was our server and he was attentive and helpful. We especially loved playing Mahjongg between courses. It's a great local spot! read more

Great service every time, excellent menu, and an overall cool place to hang out! Everything there is consistently fresh and tasty

Wait staff is attentive and upbeat. The drinks are good. The food is simply so-so. Be aware that the fish tacos are basically fried fish with tartar sauce vs actual fish tacos (grilled fish, greens, salsa). That said, if you live in the area this is a true find and a great place to relax with friends or family for a. Ice meal. read more

Happy to have a non-chain with delicious food and beverages in the area! Very creative menu with lots of shareable, sandwiches and entrees. Come early to secure some parking. Staff is lovely and quick with drinks. Started sitting at a table with chairs but needed to move to a booth for comfort. Chairs are cute but not designed for larger folk. Go early and hang at the large bar while waiting for your friends. Enjoy! read more

I agree with Miryam's review below: the fish tacos were amazing! I'm usually very, very picky about fish tacos, but these were perfect: Nicely breaded and slightly crispy piece of fish, the pickled onion and cabbage were cool and crisp, and while I have no idea what "Alabama white sauce" is, it had a nice horseradish bite to it that perfectly complemented everything else in the taco. That, and the serving of 3 of them is quite generous in size! Coupled with the hot Buffalo Chicken Dip and some great cocktails, made for a fabulous dinner. Thanks Buckley! read more

I met a friend for drinks and dinner at this great new Framingham eatery. We had excellent cocktails ("Night in Greece") , the 3-Dip appetizer, a Salade Nicoise and the Pork Gryo (which came with outstanding fries or choice of salad). Everything was super fresh and delicious. I got there early to snag an outside table on a Friday night-- good idea! Service was excellent and I will be back! read more

Meatballs not home made you can buy them at the frozen section of BJ's Gyro pork dry no flavor tasted like wood chips. Lamb lollipops bland no flavor On the lighter side drinks were good and bartender good server read more

Went today (Saturday 8/13) and the service was atrocious. Place was empty @ noon. Server was on her phone the entire time. Never refilled coke when asked. Never brought more napkins when asked. On cell phone at bar entire time. Even ordered food delivery and went to the front door to pay for it and retrieve it. Get a manager that cares or your business is going to tank fast. Another server had to bring and process check as well as ToGo boxes. Pathetic. read more

This used to be an abandoned parking lot...a real eyesore. Then, the Buckley came in. Apartments galore, and then....the Buckley kitchen...we'd been waiting for a local restaurant to be able to walk to, and this one fit the bill. The food is great, the service decent, and it's pretty cool. Their website was down, but the Yelp app came up instead, however...it sucks. don't order with Yelp. They up-charge on every item. Yelp absolutely SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! We got overcharged by 10 bucks on 4 items. DO not use Yelp to place order. read more

Made a reservation for a large party here last night, they accommodated our party and moved everything along quite quickly considering how busy the entire restaurant and bar were.The restaurant is really nicely decorated, different and casual without being dingy. Pomegranate Margarita was so good, a nice balance of drink and ice too. The cute swanky glasses for water, cocktails and wine were the highlight of the night. We got appetizers (buffalo chicken dip, meatballs, chili) and everything came out promptly. For entrees we all got something different, the Nashville hot chicken was HUGE and made really well, the pickled carrots and cucumbers were amazing. The chicken broccoli rigatoni Alfredo was also REALLY good! Throughout the meal the staff was attentive and pleasant. read more

Good food and beer selections. Prices were ok. Dinner area is nice and modern. Good spot

Staff is great and the food may be the best in the area! Get the souvlaki and fish tacos.
