    The food, drinks and service were excellent, as always. We asked to be seated in a quiet location and they did. Portions were huge and we took home more than half of our entrees. Perhaps serve smaller portions and lower the price a bit.

    I love Tuckers for drinks and atmosphere. This night food was really not good. Sorry I feel bad because it’s an LBI staple but everyone had not a great meal. My burger was tasteless and cold. It was very busy. Surver was nice and super honest on what to not to get.

    Great drinks and really good appetizers. Entrees were very good also but they get a 5 star for the staff. What makes them so happy and personable?! Also it is a little noisy but you can choose a table in the back or outside. Nice location and they always have slots open becasue the place is so big!!

    A very young boy was running around, in between tables, up and down aisles, and around tables. A manager should have asked his parents to keep him closer to the their table. I felt terrible for servers trying ti navigate around him and for the couples who wanted to hear each other talk. All this aside, the food and service was great.

    Went here for an early dinner, which was probably the right move because we had our portion of the dining room all to our party. The food was excellent, from the cornbread and french onion flatbread to the bolognese. A very spicy margarita (above expectations) was quickly replaced with a milder version without hesitation. Service was friendly and efficient. The only disappointment was the credit card surcharge, which feels like another fee that should be in the menu price and is only in small print at the bottom of the menu (not on the door). At least they correctly waive it on debit cards.

    The staff was great, but I ordered ribs and they were hard as a rock. Certainly not worth $42. My wife ordered scallops and seemed to enjoy. I also hate when mules are served in incorrect glassware. We did enjoy the atmosphere, live music, and location. We would give this place another shot next time we are in town, but going with something other then the ribs.

    Many places on the island have no tables available on a Friday night without reservation, only to be greeted by subpar service and "decent" food BUT Tuckers Tavern was a gem. Last minute walk-in was a success and we will definitely be returning. Server was helpful and kind, food was delicious. Was treated so great by everyone. Little bit of a wait to get food but that's okay because the atmosphere was fun, view was beautiful, and the cocktails were refreshingly delicious.

    We sat on the roof deck and had an excellent meal. Only reason for the 4 is that the food could have been hotter. Drinks are excellent and the service was outstanding. Highly recommend a visit to Tuckers.

    Enjoyed the bay view on the rooftop ! The staff was friendly and accommodating! Was disappointed in the food; we ordered roasted corn guacamole, which tasted like it came out of a plastic container. Had the seafood Cobb salad, the salmon was dry and the crab and shrimp were tasteless. Was a fun vibe there but they need to step up on the food quality!

    First time, last time. $32 for fish and chips made from frozen fish filets and soggy fries, $23 for a made from frozen hamburger patty and soggy fries. I don’t mind paying for quality food, this just wasn’t it. $230 for a family of four with one kids meal and only two beers on the bill. I waited 10 minutes for a drink that arrived after my meal was completed. I appreciate the server removing it from the bill but her station was too large to service us properly. Really disappointing experience.

    Service was not the greatest. Our waitress did not know the answers to our questions. We asked about the type of scallops and she had no idea if they were bay or sea scallops. We asked about the kids fish and chips and she had no idea what type of fish. Then when she was reading off the daily specials she said she couldn’t remember one of them so we have no idea what the specials were that day.
