Had an absolute wonderful experience. Owner Chef Michael has been serving extraordinary meals for over 40 years in this “1925 train car” restaurant. Portion sizes were perfect. Presentation was “out of this world”!

Had a delightful and delicious meal from the upscale restaurant for Valentine’s Day this year. We moved to Keene in the fall and I wanted to try somewhere different for my wife and I to explore. I searched Brattleboro and found this gem. Nestled in what looks like an old train car at times, there is limited seating but you can see all the food being made to order. The food selection and taste were on point. The plating was exquisite and beautiful. Sorry, no photos as it was dim.

One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. Everything was exquisite. We went for New Year’s Eve–which can be risky, but they’re clearly pros. The place was a little dining car with just 8 tables…and you felt like you stepped back in time, from the lighting to the music. The service was perfect–quietly attentive without being intrusive. Food rundown–crab cake delicate and flavorful; halibut melted in the mouth; scallops cooked to perfect texture and flavor (and I don’t like scallops). Creme Brule not too custardy and had the crack. We loved being able to watch the chefs. I agree about the Michelin Star. Such a special place.

Let me just say, you can even eat the flowers. This place brings a certain kind of quality to the food that many places are lacking these days. Perfect for date nights, anniversaries or cooking enthusiast. Seating is very limited, experience and flavor are worth the price.

WONDERFUL small space that serves excellent high quality meals that are prepared expertly.
A truly excellent dining experience with great wine pairings as well.
We wish more restaurants would follow this model.

I am very happy to have finally gone here. It’s was a wonderful dining experience. It’s small with what I believe to be 6 small tables which is a nice experience. The food was delicious. We enjoyed the appetizer buratta which was delicious but we didn’t really have an idea of how to eat it. But we used our hands and got it done. I was able to enjoy the rabbit and my date enjoyed the steak, both were delicious. I enjoyed the house iced tea which was nice. There is no good parking, a couple of off street parking but there is a paid lot down the street, but it is free after 6pm. I was happy to get a reservation for Friday evening on a Wednesday morning. I am looking forward to going back again soon.

Exquisite food in a funky little diner environment. This establishment seats only 15 patrons at a time. Note that they do not have a full bar, so have your before dinner cocktail elsewhere before arrving. The food and sevice were excellent; would definitely go back.

TJ Buckley’s is an extraordinary restaurant, and one of the best I’ve been to. The staff is welcoming, and the chef is friendly and funny as well as talented at what he does. The atmosphere is cozy and romantic, but still family-friendly. There are plenty of vegetarian/vegan options, and although I’m vegetarian the meat and fish does look good. Gorgeous presentation of food, and you can watch it being made. The salads are topped with flowers and beautiful garnishes and created with local organic produce. The crème brûlée is my favorite dessert I’ve ever had.

I took two friends to the restaurant. One is a serious chef so I was nervous. We all thought every part of meal including appetizers and main courses and dessert were terrific. So was the service and atmosphere. Thank you for a great dinner!!
