Went for breakfast on a Sat and ended up being there for a loud and intrusive political meeting. It was held in a lower room but very much disrupted our meal, especially when the speakers started insulting the other party. Not at all how I wanted to start my day. The food was just ok. Will not go back.

Friendly, quick service, good selection on the menu. Recommend their omelettes (especially with the chorizo sausage) and french toast with strawberries. Decent coffee with free refills. Family-friendly and great for early risers--opens at 5 a.m.! Inexpensive, considering what you get.

On my annual trip back to the east coast to see family, my dad asked if we could come here (itâs been a staple for us since I was a kid). The restaurant has had some updates to the exterior which is nice but the same homey New England vibe was inside...which was great. Ellen was our waitress and she was lovely! I of course had a steamed lobster which you canât get in Arizona! The lazy man lobster was ok but a little dry...my boyfriend will stick to the regular lobster next time

Came here at 5pm on a Thursday. I had never heard of Buckley's and was brought here on a business dinner to impress a very important client. The organizer chose this place well. The atmosphere is very warm and our client could not stop admiring the podium at the entrance. The podium is made out of wineboxes and has a very authentic, custom decor. There are paintings on the wall that are artistic and for sale. If you venture into the attached gift shop next door, they support local artists and this is very important aspect everyone loved. The hostess and waitress staff were wonderful. Our food was cooked and ordered, starting with appetizers. Wonderful choices, quite a handsome selection of meals available on the menu. Our guest of honor was very impressed with the amount and quality of food. We started with appetizers, continued with the main course and finished off with desert. The display brought out of examples of desert dishes was quite impressive, as most restaurants are apt to show only photos and descriptive words. I love this place and cannot wait to come back!Wow, thank you so much for the great review! We are always thrilled to hear when a guest enjoys their visit, and we thank you for taking the time to let us know. We hope you'll join us again in the future!

The Mile Away is in an old house. The hostess welcomed us warmly. The dining room is well appointed and clean. There is an extensive choice of food. You can order an entree or a four courses meal. The food and the service were perfect. The price was fair. In summary, it is a classy place.

Had an excellent breakfast at the Riverhouse Cafe. Everything there is organic and homemade and the place is very friendly, with counter and table service that is helpful and efficient.The roasted vegetable omelet was very good, with a variety of fresh roasted root vegetables, home fries and rye bread. Fresher brewed iced tea was very good as well.A good place right in the middle of town.

Checked it out on a weekend afternoon. Plenty of parking, nice clean facilities, staff was friendly. Lots of local dishes as well as favorites. The Nashua Poutine was great, the entrees were large and very good. Jake's Ice Cream was a perfect way to end the meal. Can't wait to visit again.
