I had roasted oysters with roe and green onion as appetizer - delicious. Main course: shucked lobster with bearnaise sauce, filet mignon with red wine sauce,asparagus with garlic mashed potatoes which was amazing. My husband had prime rib with baked potato and green beans. He stated that prime rib was the best he has ever eaten. Wait staff were attentive without being intrusive. Overall a wonderful experience and will go again.
Ambience in dining room is classic New England with low background music that does not overwhelm ability to converse with companions.
Booking appointment via Open Table was a breeze.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMWe were seated near a doorWe were seated near a door and I never actually faced the rest of the room so it would be hard to note the ambiance. The food was quite good.

From walking in the door to leaving we felt totally welcomed and relaxed. Everyone was friendly and professional.
The service was great. Our server checked in periodically without being interruptive. She noticed right away if we needed another drink or refill of water. The food was excellent. I ordered the blackened prime rib and it was perfect. My husband had sirloin and it too was delicious. We ordered 1/2 salads (one caesar and one house) which were both good size portions, that we could've got one 1/2 salad and shared it. But glad we didn't because they were so delicious. My husband ordered the"just a bite" dessert and that was a perfect size after a full meal.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMfood was great. A littlefood was great.

The food was amazing and perfectly prepared.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Steak, but go off-peak hoursThis is our third visit to Buckley's and as before the steaks were outstanding, the sides creative, and everything was cooked perfectly. Also as usual they were very busy. While our waitress was attentive and did check in from time to time, the service was a bit slow and our waitress went missing on a few occasions. We ordered a pre-made desert to go, and it took 15 minutes to arrive after we paid our check. That said, the dessert was excellent.
Buckley's is well worth a visit. The prices are reasonable for a higher end Steak House, the food is fantastic, and the ambiance of the old farmhouse is very nice.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMthe atmoshere the staff andthe atmoshere the staff and the food was as usual all top notch w is good for dinner or a romanic evening together this is the the spot my husband and I have been here many times for a casual dinner or a romantic evening and each time the wonderful staff remebers us and are always freindly and a add treat to a wonderful meal give 5 stars4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food and reasonableGreat food and reasonable prices.

We haven't found a better steakhouse in New Hampshire.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMA great alternative!I'm a big Capital Grille fan, but the slog into Burlington or Boston can be a bit much from where I live. I've finally found a close second and that's Buckley's! Service was great and the food was excellent. A little noisier that I would have liked, but it wasn't over the top. The restaurant is in an old tavern building so that adds to its character.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMA-mazing steaks!!! wonderfulA-mazing steaks!!! wonderful side veg too. Make sure to top it off with the Baked NH- out of this State!4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMFantastic steaks done perfectly.Fantastic steaks done perfectly. Terrific waitstaff. Try the surf and turf. You won't be sorry.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMThey really pack 'em in on SaturdayThis was our 5th time at Buckley's and first time alone as a couple. The occasion was for our 15th Wedding Anniversary, and thus I had requested a seat close to a fire several weeks in advance. However, due to the amount of people, we were seated where there was room, which unfortunately was next to a drafty window, as well as another couple who were obviously inebriated. This other couple had problems with volume control and my wife and I found out more about their personal life than we would have liked to. Definitely took away from the ambiance for us. As usual, the service was outstanding. Our server was timely, knowledgeable and polite. The food was excellent. We both had the Surf & Turf and the fillets were cooked spot-on.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMIt was our first time goingIt was our first time going to Buckley's and I was amazed how wonderful the whole experience was from the time we step in the door.

Excellent service, outstanding meals. Highly recommended.2/16/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious meal, noisy environmentThe service was excellent. The ambiance was ok, but a large group was seated next to us, and the boisterous conversation sometimes made it hard for us to hear each other talk.
The steak was very good, but not the best I've ever had, but then again it's hard to beat the beef in Texas!
All in all, we had a very nice meal at Buckley's and will be sure to return, though next time we will request to not be seated near a large group.2/13/2013 12:00:00 AMMy husband and I make thisMy husband and I make this steakhouse visit an annual event.
