Mr Buckley's

I walk past this place every day and curiosity had finally got the better of me. And I'm so glad it did. We were greeted by the owner and were made to feel welcome and comfortable throughout the evening with regular visits from the friendly and efficient waiting staff. 5 stars for ambience and atmosphere. 5 stars for the quality of food, so refreshing to go to a place where nothing seems deep fried or greasy, and thankfully NO CHIPS! Great place to go for drinks at the bar pre-dinner or post-feast (open till 2am!)

Fantastic night out. I loved the tasty small shared plates, the pecan cheesecake and the Gin Fizz cocktail - delicious! Thoroughly recommend it.

Managed to get a table at Mr Buckley's yesterday evening for a first time experience of excellent culinary delights. As a veggie it's always a concern when trying a new restraurant but I was really pleased that the menu contained several very tasteful world foods. A very welcome change. The name Mr Buckley's has a interesting history in the area and I've no doubt this new restraurant will bring a history all of its own. Thanks for a lovely evening I will return!

Mr Buckley's is a breath of fresh air to what was becoming a very stale and boring East London culinary circuit. Interesting dishes (no burgers, thankfully!) with different influences from around the globe that excite and satisfy. The staff are friendly and attentive, the ambience spot on with low lighting and simple wood panelling. We took our party downstairs to the late licence bar after for some Old Fashioneds... the perfect end to a lovely meal!

I've been here a few times now since it opened, All occations have been 1st class. Happy, welcoming and attentative staff that don't lurk around behind you. Little tea lights cast dancing shadows over exposed brick walls and simplified decor, Accomapnied by well selected background music. Also got some good spotlessly clean facilities. The smaller plates meant each dish came out slightly staggered, but this gives ample time to enjoy each carefully thought out and balanced dish. Lobster Mac and Cheese is great concidering i'm not a fan of lobster. It boasts the taste with out too much of the texture. The Lamb Cutlets are mouth watering. Quality not quantiity and reasonably priced with a stripped wine menu that you could play with and pair to each dish if you felt inclined. Id recommened it for a date!

We have been to Mr Buckleys on three occasions for brunch. Each time we tried something new and each time the food was excellent. The skillet breakfast was particularly good. The service is always attentive and it's been an interesting buzz and nice crowd. All in all a great, new local place.

I ate at Mr Buckleys recently for a Sunday brunch with my folks.The food was great! I had the skillet,which was filling and cooked just how I liked it. The atmosphere was relaxed and not pretentious at all. We were there for ages! The service was good too.Our waitress, Lauren, was really lovely with our children too. Really liked the look of the place also. Very hip.Am planning on going back soon with all my girlies!A welcome addition to the area. 5 stars!

On recommendation from a friend we went along to me buckleys. I was so impressed with the unpretentious interior and relaxed ambiance. We shared some small plates And they were all delicious. This place is soo worth trying. I just wish i was a local!

I'd heard a lot about Mr Buckleys and thought it was time to see for myself. I was thoroughly impressed with the brunch and so booked for dinner. There were a few of us and so we tasted most of the menu, which proved to be original and delicious. Staff were on the ball and welcoming, as was the atmosphere. I have no doubt they'll do very well, there's nothing nearly as good on Hackney Road.

Just Awful. We had booked five days in advance but were still seated downstairs in the basement. We were then moved upstairs to the main area 30 minutes later, which we had to request. The Ambience and décor are east London cool and the one good point of the restaurant was the lovely waiting staff. The food however was terrible! We ordered the chicken terrine from the specials menu, which tasted ok but was served very cold, as if straight from the fridge. The second dish of crab cakes came with a very smelly fishy odour, the crab was obviously not fresh! We sent them back and were told that this was the third time they had been returned to the kitchen that night, yet they still served them to us! To give them credit, they did take them off the bill without being asked. The lamb dish was a very cheap cut of chewy lamb that was served very undercooked. For our last dish we ordered the lobster mac & cheese, supposedly one of MR Buckley’s highlights. This was rubbish also. For £9 you would expect more lobster, more taste and a little bit of style. We paid our bill then went to another restaurant nearby to eat! Very disappointing as I am a local resident. Just Awful!!!!
