Buckley's Tavern

Wonderful place. Our family visited for my parent's anniversary after seeing Longwood Gardens. Food was excellent, the waitress was very attentive and fun, and the atmosphere was perfect. Prices were fair. Would gladly recommend!

This has become a new tradition spot to grab a good bite in the Brandywine area. I love the old tavern neighborhood atmosphere, the mushroom soup is a must, and always Irish coffees.

This tavern was an enjoyable experience and with a different flair. It had a bar area to the left when you enter and some table seating. To the right through the door is more table seating and that is where we were seated. I had meatloaf that was served with mashed potatoes and gravy with fresh steamed veggies. The veggies were, yellow squash, zucchini, carrots, green beans and I'm probably forgetting something. It was seasoned and delicious. The meatloaf was soft and good. The mashed potatoes were real and had small chunks like I like it. The gravy was a bit salty for me but good. A friend had fish and chips. She loved it. The atmosphere was subdued and low lighting. The patrons ran the gamut from children to aging adults. I've included a few photos of the house from the 1800's. I would recommend this place, but it is a but pricey, not bad though.

We ate in the pub. The food options were good and the beer and wine list is ample. The quiche of the day with Caesar salad was excellent. The waitress was friendly and did not rush us. But, she checked in several times to be sure we had what we needed.

Another delicious meal at Buckley's. Made reservations but didn't need them. Ate at a booth near the bar.Mushroom soup, yummy

This place has seen changes for the good over it's lifetime. I haven't been here in over ten years but what I remember if it then, was not something to be desired. NOW, it's beautiful inside, well lit, and much more pleasant atmosphere. I don't want to harp on this much but the server and host were not as well prepared for the job as they should be. The host asked if we had reservations but then said it didn't matter she would find where to seat us (5). Then the server describes food completely opposite of what we want but expects that to be accepted. Soups and salads come out before the main meal, not at the same time. Lastly, don't make the customer find you to get the bill; you might get an unpaid table if you don't check on them. Train the staff more and check up on them. I'd go back to give them another try; it was a Sunday night and everyone wants to go home.

Went there after spending the day at Longwood Gardens. Ordered a fantastic burger. So amazing! Love the atmosphere and waitress was perfect. We have been going there for years!

Even with a relatively simple menu, this place gives your mouth a complex ride. The food was cooked as ordered, so if you are shy of cool red beef, order accordingly. Their Reuben was an absolute delight, with everything in seemingly perfect proportion. The staff was attentive, and extremely quick in handling requests.

Been coming here for over 30 years. As always, everything was good with our food. I would have given tonight five stars had they added some help with the dining area. Our poor server had the entire two dining rooms and it was hopping. He managed it better than I could have expected.

Brunch was very good and a terrific value if you come in your pajamas! It’s also very nice and cheerful inside. I’ll definitely be back!

It's a good and decent place. The waitress was sooooo nice and whenever someone asked to share a plate when we ordered , she splitted the dishes into two. Great service.The onion soup was good but too salty for some. The Tavern burger was good (asked for medium got well). The chicken pot pie was very disappointing. Berry cobbler was really nice and not too sweet! Overall good experience

Stopped in after a visit to Hagley House. VERY good food at a reasonable price. Staff were super friendly...

Lovely old tavern. I had a great burger there with awesome coleslaw. Beautiful seating around the bar. Very nice place with great food.

We had Fish and Chips and Clam Linguini and both were fantastic. Very impressed with this place. Food is delicious, staff is friendly and quick. And food comes out fast!!
