By far the best restaurant on our 9 day trip to Vermont. I didn’t even try to book a table at TJ’s for our stay in Brattleboro, thinking I would not be able to get in last minute. Fortunately, we met a gentleman at a local brew pub and were discussing restaurants in the area, he called the owner on... more

We have been dining at TJ's for about 15 years. We have never had anything but an excellent experience. This is not for those who especially enjoy iceburg lettuce with Ranch dressing. Although peanut butter and jelly does have a welcome place in my life, I definitly see the "value" of exquisitely prepared food by a genious. If cost is... more

We read lots of very positive reviews and decided to give this place a chance. Decor is interesting: tiny diner with a warm and comfortable feel. Sadly the food was merely acceptable. I could do better myself at home. A waste of $200 (for 2). more

Are you kidding me? You could drop $140 in NYC and get Outback Steakhouse level food. Lord. I think they might have off nights according to some reviews out there, although the friend who recommended TJs to me lived in Brattleboro for 2 years and never had an off meal. We lived together in Japan before that, so I hope... more

What a great meal!!! We went for dinner with friends for my birthday and my friend's birthday. What an amazing place. Very intimate. Food choices great - I had an appetizer, salad, entree AND dessert. Portions were just right - so at the end of the night I didn't feel bloated just satisfied. Can't wait to go back!! more

We had heard very positive comments from the locals on this "charming" and "top-class" restaurant. Well...The dinner was somewhat better than average with top marks for the ingredients but "haute cuisine" it is not... Just simple cooking of meat, fish and poultry. Expect a very cramped space and rudimentary comfort. Our table was not ready when we arrived and the... more

We were invited to join friends for a special dinner at TJ Buckley's. We have lived in the area for years and have always wanted to try this unique restaurant. I doubt we will go back... To be fair, the #1 chef was not working at the restaurant the night we visited. I suspect that had something to do with... more

Once inside the diner exterior, you enter a world of sophisticated cuisine presented with flare and elegance. By limiting the number of customers they serve and the number of choices of entrees to four per night, they can deliver incredible freshness and quality. There is no printed menu, and we mistakenly thought that we were dealing with a prix fixe... more

Me and my wife recently visited this establishment and we thought everything was excellent. We both had the beef for dinner and it was very exquisite!!!! The place is very expensive and after tax and tip most will not get out without paying $130, which is quite a bit of money for most people to be spending on just one... more

I have been dining here for over 20 years. It is my restuarant of choice for a fancy occasion. Do NOT let the fact this restuarant is located in a diner deter you. This place will seat only 20 max. The kitchen is open to the dining area. Michael the owner and chef is a treat to watch. There are... more
