Don't Waste Your Time or Money
In the past the Buckeye Tavern was a nice place with good food and a great atmosphere. That’s why we chose it for our rehearsal dinner. Boy were we surprised! Apparently we weren’t as important as the much larger rehearsal dinner that was going on next to us on the upper deck. The service was poor. We were basically ignored. I felt sorry for the waitress. Afterall, it wasn’t her fault she had such a poor manager. The food was terrible! They used canned crab for the broiled crab cakes. I have never heard of that before and now I know why. For those of us unlucky enough to order them – we didn’t eat. One bite was all it took. They were gracious enough to notice and take them off the bill. Of course they didn’t offer us anything else. Although after that experience I don’t think I would trust them to actually cook anything decent or worth eating. This was not the rehearsal dinner I had in mind. We all managed to have a good time regardless. I would never, ever recommend the Buckeye Tavern to anyone, not even if they were starving. This used to be a nice place. It’s a shame that it’s gone so far down hill. I had been going there for years. I hope one day it will return to the great place it used to be. However, I don’t know if I’ll chance it to find out. I wouldn’t waste my time or my money.
Dishes Tried:
Broiled Crab Cakes
Don’t ever use canned crab to make crab cakes. Awful, just plain awful. It had a fishy taste. Are they supposed to be swimming in grease – I mean butter.
Chicken Marsala
After having basically no dinner at all, my future mother in law had me eat some of her chicken marsala. She wasn’t going to finish it and it wasn’t because she was full. The chicken was at least cooked. The sauce was barely there, but the mushrooms were at least semi-fresh.

Old Farmhouse Charm, great food
Great food! Good service! Affordable prices…Very nice upstairs seating and cool bar area on the top floor. There is a nice deck, but it is surrounded by walls preventing customers from any view.
Dishes Tried:
Lutron Chicken Salad
I love it…it has great popcorn chicken on it and blue cheese pieces drizzled over it! It’s a hit!
