This was above my expectations! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their delish dishes! I had shrimp, crab asparagus and mushroom risotto done to perfection. Beautiful building, super crowded but large enough so it's not felt so. Huge menu, delightful and attentive service from our server (wish I could remember her name, very sweet) I can't wait for our next dinner here!

Our server Buffy Q was attentive, outgoing, and super nice. The food here was great - plenty of flavor. I got the deluxe nachos with chicken and no sour cream and they were fantastic (blew PJ’s out of the water). The cheese was peculiar in a good way, almost tasted like beer cheese or something but the portion size was just enough to fill me to the brim! The mozzarella wedges were okay but everyone else liked the food for sure. Their French onion soup looked delicious! Atmosphere was lovely. It’s sufficiently lit, decorated for the holiday(s), and a beautiful open-space barn-house style inside and out.

Absolutely wonderful experience! The place has an amazing vibe! My waitress was super friendly and helpful and the food was amazing! I’ll definitely be going back!! I was so hungry I forgot to take the pic until I started eating so my apologies for that.

Finally stopped here after years of passing by on our route. We ate at the bar and Jeremy gave us stellar service. Very cool building. My wife had the bacon wrapped Scallop appetizer. I had the Beef Short Ribs with broccoli and a baked potato. Stupid good. I have never had beef ribs that tender. We will definately come here again when in town. Got a Peanut Butter Explosion desert to go. Really rich, could use a quart of milk with it. Get you one. 8/12/24 update...back in town. I was eyeballing the seafood options tonight. I had the Ravioli with Blue Crab and Ricotta. The rich sauce has lots of garlic. Really good. My wife chose the Lobster Bisque and Caesar Salad. We split a Pineapple Upside Down Cake for dessert. Excellent bar service from Danielle. 12/7/24 update...last trip for this year. Very busy Saturday night but lucked up and got bar seats. Usual great service and cold drinks. I had the Whiskey Glazed Salmon with a baked potato and broccoli. She had the French Onion Soup and Kickin Chicken Sandwich. Both were great. Even Santa dropped in. 4/17/25 update...Thursday night bar service was spot on, as usual. After a few cold Lagers, my wife has the Chicken Fajita Wrap with steak fries. I had the BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich with kettle chips. The cole slaw makes a good sandwich great. It's large enough to feed two people, but I did it. There was just enough room left to split that yummy Bourbon Toffee Cake.

For starters, our server Sierra was fantastic. We’ve all been to establishments where it was obvious the server was there just collecting a check. Sierra has a magnetic personality and it is obvious she understands the relationship between the words “service” and “serve”. She is a tremendous asset to this establishment. The ambiance of the dining room could best be described as quaint. It has been impeccably decorated to resemble what it would have been in the stagecoach era. For those who enjoy spirits and ale the bar is quite captivating. With plenty of choices on tap and bottles it’s a great place to take in a game or otherwise kill an afternoon. Our group had a Breakfast Burger, Whiskey Burger and Turkey, Bacon and Avocado sandwich. The burgers were cooked to the exact temperatures requested; and the TBA featured perfectly cooked bacon and fresh avocado which is hard to get this time of year. For myself I had the Fajitas. The menu offered a base of Steak, Chicken or Shrimp. A combo was to pick the base item and then pick a second. Well I wanted all three and was amazed because I got way more than I expected! Normally when you order all three as a combo you expect small cubes of steak and chicken, mixed in with a few shrimp that look like they were starved to death. Not at Buckeye! They served about 8 good sized shrimp along with a 6 ounce breast and an equally sized steak that was exactly as I like it, medium rare. Without getting appetizers, none of us finished our food. We went on a Saturday, and although they were getting really busy we didn’t feel rushed to leave. Overall Buckeye easily earned their 5 Star rating, and if I could award bonus stars they would be at least 7! Whether you’re in the area on business, or simply visiting family and friends make sure you prioritize getting here. If you’re local and haven’t been here yet, what are you waiting for?

We've been trying to have weekly date nights, and we are trying different places we have never been to before. We have driven by Buckeye Tavern many times, and finally got a chance you visit. We LOVED it there and can't wait to go back! Our waitress Buffy was outstanding and the food was great! The atmosphere inside was right up our alley too! I highly recommend checking this place out if you haven't ever done so! :)

Our first time at Buckeyes but definitely not our last! The service was fast and attentive. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful too. The food was delicious, too. We ordered the French onion soup, Caesar salad, and blue cheese chips. All so tasty! We both ordered the Crabmeat Colorado steak. The filet was one of the best we’ve had, very tender and demi glace paired well. Unfortunately the crab tasted too fishy and salty, so maybe next time we would just get the regular filet. Can’t wait until our next visit!
