About
Serving Ireland's best steak in Temple Bar, a traditional Irish steakhouse with the experience and knowledge of over 25 years serving the perfect steak. We change our menus seasonally to reflect the finest that Irish produce has to offer in combination with the finest wines, cocktails and spirits to cater for all tastes and budgets. The Buckley Family has built a reputation as purveyors of quality meats for over six generations. Francis Xavier opened his first butcher shop on Moore Street in 1930 and this soon became awell-known Dublin institution. Since then it was part of a natural progression to open our own steakhouses around the city and serve our famous beef from our butchers to your table

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was our second trip here, and another amazing experience. The service was fantastic and the food was incredibly great. A small venue that allows for an intimate environment.

A perfect dinner. Everything was excellent: the food (the quality of the meat!), the service, the atmosphere. Great value for money.

We are on vacation and visited FX Buckley on the advice of many locals. This has to be one of the best meals I’ve ever had! The fillet was amazing! Perfectly cooked and probably the best steak I’ve ever tasted! Also order the potatoes gratin....Delicious! We loved our meal here and the service was outstanding as well.More

Our waiter was great. He shared many details about the restaurant and family and was interested to hear about raising beef in the US. Highly recommended if you are looking for a nice grass fed steak to compare to what we have in the states....They are cooked perfectly.More

I can't say enough good things about our experience here. Dinner was amazing and delicious. So much food! We were two couples, and we shared entrees and self-serve side dishes with drinks (we each had the chateaubriand for 2). The waiter was great and explained...and recommended menu items. It was my son-in-law's birthday, and he was surprised to receive a dessert complete with candle. For what we received, the cost was well worth it!More

My hubby and I last came here in 2017, pre pandemic, and it's great to see that @FXBuckley is still serving fantastic food and giving superb service after all these years! We had the porterhouse steak (again), served with all the sides.. a big call...out on the chips; perfectly hot & crispy, the spring onions in the champ (mash) sang out, and the sauces; red wine, peppercorn & bernaise were divine! The garlic sauce was just a little too strong for us, but if you like it garlicky.. it'll be yum. The Stellenbosh Merlot, webbersberg cabernet sauvignon complemented the steak perfectly, and the dry bone vodka martini with a lime twist was spot on! Busy throughout the evening, with attentive but discrete service... a superb night out!More

This is the best restaurant in dublin. We were all blown away by the quality of the food. We had the short rib nugget, young buck panna cotta, steaks, sides, banoffee cheesecake and raspberry pistachio delice. Steaks were so soft they cut like butter, all...cooked to perfection with delicious sides All staff friendly and service really quick.More

We had booked this restaurant after a recommendation from family. Firstly put somebody in front of house that will actually say , hello, how are you , your welcome here , any of the above would be nice,. The table was booked ,6 weeks in...advance ,so I was surprised when we were being seated in 1 of the 3 tables in the middle of the floor, I asked as we had booked in advance could we possibly sit in one of the empty tables on the edges , we were but yet again no words from the front of house person. Our meal was nice , all except the carmalised onions , desert fab and coffee good . Another server bringing our drinks couldn't be bothered to talk , the only member of staff with a personality was the young man with the tat on his neck , staff could learn from him, feeling a bit underwhelmed , £150 for our meal and drinks and yes for this I expect a personality and a manner from the staff.More
