    Meghan was our original waitress in the bar area and made us feel so welcome as we were celebrating a special birthday! She put a candle on her drink and then she made an easy transition to the dining room for our dinner. She is an absolutely extraordinary employee who is a keeper! She needs to be recognized for her special customer service! Thank you so much Meghan!

    We arrived and sat down immediately. The waitress in our area circled around with other table, even with those tables that sat after us, and never even made eye contact with us or said it’ll be just a minute. After 20 minutes we got up and left.

    I've been going to Tucker's over the years since it opened and have always loved the vibe. Last night was kind of ridiculous. We were a party of 4 who got a couple rounds of drinks (beer, mixed, wine) and 2 appetizers and 4 mains and our bill was 350.00. My boyfriend's fish and chips came out with a cold center which was undercooked. We sent that back and then it was not even removed or at least discounted from the bill. I got the crispy half chicken and friends got the short ribs and crab cake. The food was good for sure overall but the value was just not there for me. Perhaps it was the 15.00 drinks which I guess is on us as the paying customers for choosing to order but....again....350 seemed like a large number for what we ordered. The service was just ok as I felt like he kind of forgot about us and I was disappointed that he didn't offer to remove something (even a drink off the bill) for delivering cold undercooked fish that my boyfriend had to spit out after one bite. Perhaps the off season is a time they're more understaffed. I will certainly return but was just underwhelmed this visit for the price.

    Spent $51 on Halibut that was overcooked. Old fashioned tasted like whiskey and orange juice. Stick to the bar food — burgers, fish & chips, beer… I likely won’t be back.

    My friend and I had an amazing dining experience at Tuckers. We started with drinks at the bar, where we enjoyed a great conversation with the bartender about local activities on LBI. Once seated in the dining room, we shared a crab cake appetizer that was perfectly done—packed with crab and minimal filler. The restaurant manager surprised us with two complimentary drinks he was considering for the menu, which was a delightful touch. For our main courses, my friend had the chicken, and I opted for the scallops—both were exceptional. To end the night on a sweet note, we shared a slice of olive oil cake paired with vanilla ice cream. It was the perfect finish to a wonderful evening.
    Tuckers TavernResponded on October 6, 2024
    We're thrilled to hear that you and your friend had an amazing dining experience at Tuckers Tavern. We're glad our bar staff could provide you with a great conversation and drinks to start off your visit. It's fantastic to know you enjoyed our crab cake, chicken, scallops, and olive oil cake with vanilla ice cream. We are also happy to hear you enjoyed the cocktail tasting that our manager brought over for you both to try and appreciate the feedback for our winter cocktail menu. We're glad you both had a wonderful evening, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another delightful experience! - Shaun Ruppert
