Delicious food & a charming atmosphere whether you come in Summer or Winter. Artichoke dip is insanely good as is the pesto mayo they add to sandwiches. Definitely order dessert while you are here. More

Had a great dinner at this restaurant. Our friends raved about the salmon salad, the mouth-watering pork chop entree and the trout. Dining room has high ceilings which makes it noisy, but a corner table helps. Our waitress, Jen was excellent. Attentive, but not overbearing. Sorry we had to pass on the divine desserts--but we know they are just that... More

I went to Buckley's for the first time recently and enjoyed a sandwich for lunch at one of the outdoor tables. It was a beautiful day that pretty much demands eating outside. The sandwich -- vegetable panini -- had good vegetables but was dry and quite bland. It would benefit from a sauce, an herb mix or both. But the... More

Buckley's is a very conveniently located restaurant and bar with excellent service and tempting and delicious food, reasonably priced. I enjoy their green bean appetizer and their veggie pannini sandwich, just to name a few. A bonus (in my book) for Buckley's: it is open for lunch and dinner and in between...great for meetings when you have other dinner plans... More

I was excited to be visiting Buckley's Kiskeam Inn. The restaurant was rated as number 2 in Milwaukee. I arrived at 8:30 on a Monday, went to the bar and asked for a drink that included Grand Marnier. He looked and advised they had no Grand Marnier. How can a fully stocked bar not have Grand Marnier or Cointreau? He... More

I wanted something special for Mother's Day, but not the typical brunch so I told the family they were taking me there! There were some initial protests, but Mom did know best. I read the reviews, but surprisingly wasn't familiar with it, even though I've probably been past it many times. The brunch menu is a little small but the... More

A truly pleasant evening. This is "my old neighborhood" 30 years ago, but I hadn't been back for many years. Buckley's is a great addition to the neighborhood. Great and varied food (from full dinners to sandwiches, with some nice specials). Two of us had Eggplant Parmesan, 1 the tuna, and 1 a steak -- all were fantastic. The carrot... More

This is a great upper middle neighborhood pub. The service was excellent and very fast. The decor is interesting and intimate. The food was reasonably priced, varied and darn tasty. The portions were reasonable, maybe a bit small by Midwestern standards. Very nice wines and full bar. It's well worth our time to walk in from most anywhere in downtown. More

Was visiting from Chicago this weekend and luckily found this little out-of-the-way restaurant! Food was excellent, service was friendly and the decor was really interesting! Menu is small, but a nice range of choices. Next time in town, I'll definitely come for dinner!! More
