What People Are Saying About Tucker's Place

Citysearch
In Short – Like its South County and West County siblings, this original Tucker's boasts a dark, comforting interior with a typically pleasant steakhouse feel conducive to enjoying a bottle of red wine as you wait for your pork loin or porterhouse to arrive. The traditional menu sticks to moderately priced, satisfying basics: filets, strips, pizzas, seafood (cod, salmon, breaded shrimp), burgers, salads and sandwiches. – – –

Cool food--literally
by MFrances
Slow service and lukewarm food: We had late lunch on a weekday when the restaurant was about half empty. We waited about 15-20 minutes after finishing salad for the two sandwiches and french fries to be served. People at another table who ordered after I finished my salad, received their meals soon after we got our sandwiches. While the quantity and flavor of the sandwiches and french fries were OK, they were all lulewarm at best. We ate them because we had waited so long, but mentioned the temperature to the waitress. She did not apologize, but said there was a large party in another room. That did not explain why the food was not served fresh and hot. We've found the service to be slow on previous visits, but after the luckwarm food as well as indifferent service today, we probably won't be back soon. I was going to contact Tucker's directly but did not find an official website.
- Pros: Quanity
- Cons: Service

kid unfriendly, slow service, okay food
by citymom2
We only went here because we were read in the brochere from the hotel they were "KID FRIENDLY" and had good steaks. We were shocked to find out they had NO highchairs or boosters , nor a item on the menu suitable for a child. Top it off the server said they did not have milk or juice, but could bring the little guy bloodymary mix instead? Besides the incredibly RUDE hostess and ridiculously slow serving staff (our waitress only had 3 tables), the place was overwhelmingly filled with cigarette smoke that there was no such thing as non-smoking. (suggestion to owner -top floor smoking, bottom floor non-smoking). Anyhow, we ordered 3 filets that were pretty average and not really worth the $20 dollars/filet. For $9 I can go the local grocery store and buy the same size bacon wrapped filet without all the hassle. Please revise your advertising as "kid unfriendly".
- Pros: good local watering hole
- Cons: smoked filled, slow service, not recommended for children

GREAT STEAKS!
by aunt_sis
Best steaks in town! I eat here as often as I can. I expecially like the large fillet mignon, it's not only delicious but a great value, the salad dressing is in a league of its own too .
- Pros: Delicious eat early
- Cons: Avoid weekend evenings, they are rightfully busy and service is slower
