    A little loud, but the food and service shines thru. Solid drink menu and the food was on point. A definite second trip here next time on the island.. easy in and easy out during the busy season. Thank you Megan, your a superstar and the reason I'll be back

    Classic rustic beach town bar. Menu had a great mix. Can’t get pot pie and sushi at many places. Wife and I sat at the bar. The bartender was very nice and attentive. Sushi was nice but the flavor of the rice was a bit bland. Maybe didn’t have any rice wine vinegar cooked into it, not sure. Jumbo pretzel was fantastic. Fish and chips were great. Clams we slightly undercooked but the broth an bread made up for it. Beer was tasty 😋

    The wait times were ridiculous, if you’re going to have us wait over an hour and a half for a table at least tell us that. The food was overpriced and mediocre. I really had high hopes for this place but the oysters on the half shell tasted dirty and briny and I’ve had oysters all over the state. This place was probably the worst, the calamari didn’t taste great at all, and I was really looking forward to it. It tasted like old oil, and the vast majority of what was supposed to be calamari were peppers and Olives… the Bucks burger was good but wow do you skimp on the fries. I will say our waitress was absolutely incredible, she was working as fast as she could. She was very kind and dealing with our party she did good. But theres a lot of issues with this place. I probably won’t be back.

    always walked by this place but never got to eat so we decided that yesterday was the day we finally get to... we ordered a dozen oysters... chicken pot pie... linguini with clams... kids burger... a pretzel... a couple of drinks... we wished we xould have just walked by it again as the only thing that was good was the pretzel... the oysters were not fresh... the linguini with clams almost had no clam taste... pretty sure i would have made better... there was something wrong with the sauce like burnt garlic and a bit of cornstarch... the drinks were not good... my old fashioned was comparable to what you get from a national chain with a low quality bourbon... welp... we'll probably come back just for the pretzel... that's it...

    Appetizers we got chicken wings (buffalo) and the duck wings. Chicken wings were good not dry and cooked just right. This was the first time I've had duck, and these duck wings were very delicious, cook amazingly great sesame sauce paired very well. Got a buck's burger. Very juicy, cooked perfectly, honestly ate it before I could get a picture of it. Paired with the coleslaw it was amazing. Even got a side of fries. Well made could of been a little more well done but I still got some crunch. All in all very good food. Staff was very friendly.

    The food was great and as well as the service! I’ve been wanting to try Buckalew’s for a long time and I was not disappointed. I got the linguine with clams and it was super good. I also tried the new york 14oz. steak which had some fatty pieces, but it was still delicious especially with the vegetables on top. I had a party of 7 and I believe that everyone at my table was satisfied. Buckalew’s honestly have a lot to choose from. There’s sushi, steaks, burgers, pasta, grilled cheese and everything in between. Because of this I think the restaurant can appeal to more and more people (because a lot of variety type foods there are still delicious). I give this restaurant a solid 5/5 because although I did give the food 5/5, it’d probably be more like 4.7/5 but the service was good. Not to mention the atmosphere was pretty cool although it wasn’t like outstanding, it was still pretty great and a really amazing restaurant and I recommend to anyone who wants a good sit down bite down in LBI.

    Prompt service. Great food. Good size portions. Only a 20 minute wait for a party of 6. Awesome live music. Performer saw my son walk in wearing a Phish t-shirt and opened his set with a Phish song that got crowd rocking and rolling.

    Went to Buckalew's for lunch today. As opposed to normally going for dinner. Christina was our server. She was really great. Today I just had their Reuben sandwich with fries. Very delicious. Looking forward to going again the next time I'm in LBI. Next time, definitely dinner. Oh, the picture is of the take out order I took when I got home.
