I drop in now and then but haven't been back in a couple years.
Buckey’s was always a favorite family restaurant with great food at reasonable prices and friendly atmosphere. When I went there with visiting family a few months ago it had turned into a bar with restaurant tables as an afterthought. They were out of the special as well as second choice. Apologetic and courteous, but the bar was well populated and that’s where the emphasis is. Can’t blame them for making a living, but with Pine Cone/ Birch and Vine gone, it’s a shame to lose two restaurants in this area.
