Buckley's. - Memphis

Our first time eating there tonight. We had a reservation and had to wait about 15 min but the host was nice and apologetic. The food was worth the wait!!...

If I could rate this restaurant lower than 1 star, I certainly would. I'm unsure of the name of the host who welcomed and seated guests, but his demeanor...

One of the best places I've eaten at, and I eat out, A LOT! Fine Dining with a casual feeling! The Memphis Jam Bake Appetizer, the Ribeye, the baked potato...

On December 12th, 2023, I went to Buckley’s Grill at 5355 Poplar Memphis, TN 38119. At approximately 7:55pm. Once I arrived there, I was told that the only way I could do a To-Go order was if I sat down and ordered a meal also. I agreed to it and proceeded to the table. I ordered a glass of water, Chicken Pasta, and Cheese bread to eat while I was there. The waiter asked me what my To-Go Order was. I told her a Chicken Pasta and a Ribeye well done. I received all my food, proceeded to eat a little and got full so I asked for a box so that I could put the rest of what I was eating in it. The waiter then gave me a box and the receipt. My total was $142.13. I then added the tip and rounded it off to $150.00. I was at the restaurant approximately 30/40 minutes. Once I exited the restaurant the man at the front who sits guest followed and stalked me all the way to my vehicle and told me that I was banned and that I couldn't come back. I asked why and he stated that because I only tipped her $7 something and that I didn't make her Christmas great and that because of that I couldn't come back. I then stated what do you mean I paid for my food, and I also tipped. He stated again that he has me on camera and that since I didn't tip her much that I am banned and that I can't come back. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone because of the horrible customer service I received tonight. No one else was there during the time I was there, was watched like me that I noticed.

Last night to celebrate a birthday, and I will say the service was great. our server raven has made a wonderful job. there were a few hiccups with eating, but nothing even worth mentioning in detail because they immediately fixed it. eating was good, the drinks were great and the ambiente is really nice. I would definitely visit again.
