Good food and extremely lovely and welcoming staff, we really enjoyed out brunch here! Thank you!
nice neighbourhood restaurant on hackney road. there is a nice bar downstairs. open late on weekends as well which makes it good spot for drinks and dinner as well. menu changes all the time.
Another fantastic night out. Service was friendly and informal with the food nicely presented and tasty. The variety of the 'jars' are a joy to choose from. Will be back - again!!
Chilled atmosphere, great friendly and genuine staff. The food was amazing, exactly what we wanted. Would definately visit again.
Friendly, contemporary atmosphere, with simplistic decor. Excellent quality classic food with interesting ingredients, reasonable prices. Complimentary still/sparkling water a nice touch. More variety on dessert menu please (2 pear and 2 salted didn't do it for us). Great music!
First time visiting Mr Buckley's. The restaurant has a cool vibe, great cocktails and an interesting albeit limited menu. It's definitely worth a return visit.
I've eaten here several times and it never fails to impress: the imaginative menu, friendly attentive service and relaxed vibe are worth coming back for time and again. Above all the food really is superb. Do yourself a favour and pay Mr Buckley's a visit.
Very good but unfortunately portions were too small but the value.
We felt that the restaurant promised a lot, but didn't actually deliver. When you read a menu like that, you get excited, but actually the food was underwhelming, considering the price too. To give some examples, the butternut squash in our starter was completely tasteless, the dauphinoise potatoes was like a dry roast potato, the medium steak was bleeding all over the plate and not tender and everything lacked seasoning. Being people who cook and get fed by their friends we feel it shouldn't be that hard to make a squash taste good. When we tried to give immediate, friendly feedback, we were informed by the waiter that the manager would come over, as that's the procedure. We waited ten minutes and were then informed by the waiter that 'the drinks would be taken off the bill', when in fact SOME of the drinks were taken off. It was a slightly confusing situation and we felt unhappy that the manager wouldn't come over and speak to us. What we ended up feeling was that our experience didn't matter. If you put something on the menu, you should be able to execute it and if you can't, as things do go wrong, don't make your customers feel bad for pointing out. The experience was slightly saved by how helpful and understanding one of the staff was at the end, but overall, the evening felt slightly sluggish and considering I'd been to Mr. Buckley's two times previously and had a lovely time, I was very disappointed indeed. I wish we'd just gone for a kebab.
Best place on hackney road for dinner, drinks and music. Includes a late night license too.
Nice interior and atmosphere, very good breakfast food though french toast maybe a bit burnt, but we had a big group and everyone was really happy with the food otherwise. Good bacon too by the way! Good service. A huge plus for the free refills of filter coffee, this is rare and I really appreciate it! Would come again for brunch for sure!
Very interesting space. We were 5 people and 3 of them enjoyed their meal, but my veggie friend who ordered the filo pastry said it was tasteless, and I who had the stuffed Turkey with potatoes found it dry and tough. The potatoes were a bit undercooked and I couldn't eat much of anything. The bread and starters were good.
Mr Buckleys is such a great little place, full of personality, good music and a young creative feel. I've had many a great evening here and an enjoyable birthday meal last year. It's a good spot for breakfast too. Unfortunately though, the service is a bit hit and miss, and on this occassion my partner and I were disappointed with how we were served, which wasn't very well. In short, when you have 3 tables of 8+, it is important not to ignore the smaller parties. There's an art to balancing a relaxed feel with good service and I don't think Mr Buckleys has mastered this.
Fantastic food, great atmosphere. Table was REALLY wobbly but waitress tried her best to fix it
Great service, friendly staff. Nice atmosphere and food was yummy
Great food. Great atmosphere. Great staff. Will definitely be revisiting!
Good service and food. The atmosphere was pleasant and busy.
Had a fantastic birthday brunch at Mr Buckley's - excellent value for excellent food. The cocktails were a bit pricey, but they were delicious as well. The waitstaff was very patient with our large group - and were accommodating despite my own lateness to the party (thanks a lot, TfL!). I'd definitely recommend their brunch to friends.
Second time here, love it. Delicious food, awesome cocktails, fabulous staff and great tunes to finish the night off.
Really great atmosphere and good service despite being very busy
Went for brunch and thought they had a great choice of food. The ingredients seemed very fresh and the price was very reasonable, especially in the area it's located in. Will definitely go again!
Great service. Lovely food. Looking forward to returning Great atmosphere
My second trip was very different to my first, the service was slow and parts of my order were forgotten and brought out at the end instead of the appropriate time. Also the food menu was different to that online and as a vegetarian I felt a struggle to find something suitable.
The food was fine. The service was terrible and the bar down stairs was great!
Awesome restaurant for Brunch. Love going there. Good atmosphere and nice staff!
Small but cosy, Mr Buckley's is a great place for a group party - excellent food, service, ambiance! We all had such a fantastic evening and the staff handled a big group in full festive spirits extremely well.
Always great to dine there. Great service and great food.
My wife and I were impressed with the well presented and tasty food, cocktails and friendly staff. Despite being a quiet Wednesday evening, the music playing in the restaurant also helped add a great atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Great place for brunch or lunch! Very tasty food! Definitely recommended!
Just been there.. Had steak and pan fried chicken.. Both of them really tasty and properly cooked... Good wine..really nice service.. We Will definetely go back..!!
Great food and wonderful service! Also enjoyed the different choice of cocktails. Definitely go again
Extremely friendly service and absolutely delicious food. Will definitely come again!
I tried Mr Buckley's for dinner recently and I loved the food so wanted to try it for a brunch as well. The fine quality of ingredients well combines with tastes.Good service and nice tasty portions. I would definitely recommend it!
Excellent breakfast, let down by terrible service. We did a lot of the waiters' jobs for them, getting our own menus, hunting down sugar etc. But there's only so much you can do. Noone knew where our booking was, 3 dishes came a good 5 minutes before the last one, a pudding came without its chantilly cream, which the chef proceeded to make after we asked about it, and noone seemed clear on what a filter coffee was. It can't be helped - the many aspiring actors (who mostly also own their own cat-themed knitting magazines and have designed the next big gif app that's just about to take off) working here have much more important things to do than learn the difference between still and sparkling water. But worth noting as it could let down the experience if you want a hassle-free breakfast. As for the food, it's all beautiful - potato and courgette rosti are a particular treat. And if you do want a boozy breakfast, what better place than a cocktail bar?
Service was great. Food was very good, but seems as if more thought was put into the starters (which were delicious) than other courses.
We had a great time. Our waiter was really friendy without being overbearing or pushy
Great food for brunch. Breads are made in house. Will def go back!
Great bar, good food, fun atmosphere, decent cocktails and closes late (2am).
As expected the service and quality of food was exemplary. We had the smoked pigeon starter followed by the pork chop and sea bass, with a side of winter greens. Each meal was expertly balanced in terms of flavours and seasoning and cooked to perfection. My only suggestion would be less potatoes! We both left some, but finished off everything else. The cocktails were fantastic, with my friend exclaiming it was the best Sidecar he'd ever drank (and he's quite a connoisseur of Sidecars!) Will definitely be going back and recommending to more friends. Oh, and Chloe, who served us, was delightful!
Great food, service and atmosphere at Me Buckley's. Definatly recommend
