Reviews for Buckley's Tavern in Wilmington, DE
First time here for dinner. I expected more farm to table type dishes not frozen ingredients. The chicken pot pie base was good... but you could smell frozen ingredients. The peas were freezer burnt the chef stopped by and said himself they were frozen.Linguini with clams was very good....they add bacon and tomato's to it I would opt out of them next time. Pretzels wayoverpriced for what you get. The spicy Thai noodle soup was spicy and good . Read more
Based on the reviews I was looking forward to lunch here, but ended up disappointed. The space itself was lovely. The food was... fine (although the chili lacked flavor and $8 to add chicken to a lunch salad is a bit much). The service, however was awful.The server brought my order then never came back to the table. Not to ask if I wanted anything else. Not to refill my beverage.Nothing. I had to flag them down to ask for my check. And even then they stopped at their other tables on their way to me. Whenthey finally got to my table I was annoyed. It really brought down the entire experience. I guess I came on an off day, but Ican't see myself going back. Read more
Great food and staff in a comfortable old farmhouse setting. Stopped in for dinner and sat at the bar and the staff was friendly... and attentive. Enjoyed a drink and ordered dinner which was the chicken pot pie. Everything was hot and fresh and loaded withquality ingredients and great flavors. I decided to get a dessert and the coconut cake was an excellent choice with a largeslice delivered to me. Everything was an excellent value with the flavor and quality and ample portions for the price. I woulddefinitely stop in again when in the area and would visit more often if it were closer to home.

Exemplary customer service, great menu options and always delicious! Mushroom soup is incredible (local mushrooms), clam... chowder scratch made and entrees that melt in your mouth! Read more
Great spot for quality food, service, and atmosphere. Highly suggest the cheeseboard (best quality for the $) and the chicken... salad and Turkey club. Walk around town after and enjoy the sights ?? Read more
I'll begin by saying that Buckley's gets four stars only because of all the years I have enjoyed going there to eat or drink. It... is a staple in this area, greater Delaware and not just Centerville, but this visit was not up to par. Keep in mind that thisplace is mainly a tavern (read: bar) so their food is really just upscale bar food. No points against them, the food is reallygood. Even this trip, the food was great. However, we waited almost an hour to get our food. It was a busy Friday night andthey might abs short staffed but still no excuse. We heard them tell multiple tables that the frier was backed up then that somestuff got burnt. Just not a great CX. We started with Crab, Artichoke and Spinach dip, that was really good, although we couldhave used more pita. We also got Onion Rings, which despite being super late, were delicious and cooked perfectly. Mygrandmother and my girlfriend both got Salads, that looked fine. the Crab Cake on my grandmothers salad was HUGE and pretty good(I tried it). I got The Atlantic Fluke Piccata. The fish was great but the portion was pretty small and the veggies and potatoeson the side were nothing to brag about. The waitress specifically recommended this dish but I would stick with Chicken or Steakwhen I go back. You should definitely give this place a try when you are in the area. The bar is really cool. I don't drinkanymore but I spent many late nights in the bar room and the ambience in there is top notch. Read more

Excellent, kind service and the food was delicious. We tried the fried shrimp and it wasn't overcooked and lightly coated -... great appetizer! The sauce was delicious. I also recommend the clam chowder soup. So authentically seasoned! And finally we hadthe burgers, medium - cooked to perfection well seasoned with crispy onions rings. And dessert ..just say yes to the apple cob!Atmosphere had a small town feel to it. It was cozy! Read more
