Food, service, and atmosphere were amazing. Couldn't have had a better anniversary dinner. Our server (Anna), made wonderful recommendations and was very warm and professional. From appetizers to main course to dessert - everything was delicious!

We've eaten here a couple times, every chance we get because the food is amazing! Delicious, fresh, Turkish food, amazing coffee, gluten free options, and a relaxing and clean environment. Staff is so kind, friendly and accommodating.

One of the best breakfasts we had on our recent vacation was at Tuckerbox. Service was pleasant and the Turkish influence on each dish was delicious. The Turkish décor added to the experience. We arrived when the restaurant opened for the morning and were promptly served.

Our family of folks from age 1 1/2 to 78 in a wheelchair enjoyed an early supper sitting outside at this Turkish restaurant. The food was delicious! Lamb kebabs, eggplant stew and yummy desserts as well as special appetizers were devoured by all. Fast friendly service. Recommend it, specially sitting outside. Prices aren’t cheap but you get what you pay for.

Must have is the kunafe. I know this is a dessert but just order it and will not regret it unless you’re lactose intolerant or allergic to nuts. If so very unfortunate. The meat mix and everything else on the picture was a chef’s kiss, except the octopus. Compare to the price $17.99, octopus portion was wayyyyyy too small. It was good but was a little surprised by the size. Service was great, it was a little busy so service was a bit slow but who cares if the food is good.

We had a wonderful meal full of great flavors and attentive service. Some of the best Mediterranean food I have ever had. The lamb was superb. Felt right at home and was perfect for our family gathering

I have never been here for anything but stellar service and food. Sunday brunch is superb and the kebobs for dinner never disappoint. Swordfish and beef are my favorite. For an appetizer get the meza sampler. You will NOT be disappointed. We were 3 people and got the smaller order. More than enough with our meal. The wine flight was really good and worth it.

Fantastic turkish food. Great ambiance, and friendly staff. The restaurant was busy, but we were served quickly. If I didn't live so far away, I'd come more often!

Yum!! Lunchtime on a Tuesday and the place is hopping! Food - delicious. Service - friendly and attentive. Ambience - warm, relaxing, interesting. I can't wait to come back!

Went to Tuckerbox on a busy Saturday night. The food was good, very fresh and you can tell it’s homemade. Service was attentive enough considering how busy it was. My only real complaint is the price to portion ratio, as the prices are a little high for the given portions…. But, the owner was very nice and we left satisfied, would definitely come back if we lived in the area.

Wanted to mention that the portions were really small. My baklava platter had three 1" square pieces, nothing like what is pictured. My appetite was much bigger than the Chicken Guvec (cassarole). Could have eaten two servings and I'm not a big eater.

We stopped in here on a whim for lunch and I am glad we did. The hostess asked if we had reservations (we did not), apparently that is a good idea because they are normally much busier at 1pm when we arrived, but she was easily able to seat my husband and I. Honestly, I was hoping to have a soup of some type but there was none available on the menu so I opted for the chicken salad Sandwich (didn't seem a very Turkish fare), but it was good...although the Sandwich needed more chicken salad to offset the thick Texas toast; there really was very little on the Sandwich. My husband had their PLT, a sandwich that had more substance to it (there was more bacon on it than there was chicken on my sandwich)...but again, both sandwiches tasted good. To drink we tried a couple of their cocktails and while tasty and unique they were very speedy, $16 is far too much to charge for them...the price definitely prevented me from having another, and when we go back to have dinner...we probably will skip drinks (not worth $32 for two people.) Don't get me wrong, we aren't cheap people, we just want a good value...the drinks aren't that. Our server was great! He was friendly, helpful, and there when we needed him. Couldn't have asked for more from him. We did also have a hot appetizer. I forget the name of it now, it was $9 for 2, deep fried rolls (like egg rolls of a sort but with Philly dough and filled differently), these were very good...I could have eaten several, I wish I remembered what they were, but they are last on the list of hot appetizers so you can find them.

Mixed appetizer was amazing. Entrees were quite good except I ordered a dish with lamb meatballs and received a lamb stew instead. Service was good and fairly attentive. Alas like all restaurants in older buildings and during busy times, was very very loud. Very hard to have conversation. Overall food was delicious and service good but at this point in my life, I’d rather have mediocre food in a quiet setting than good food in a loud one!

I arrived about 10 minutes after the restaurant opened, so there was no wait time, and I felt welcomed right away as I sat at the bar. The waiter was great at first, but as the place filled up, the wait times became quite long—especially for coffee, which took over 15 minutes. The wait for things like my takeout box was also excessive. I mentioned to the gentleman behind the bar that while I know it’s not his fault, more help would be beneficial during busy times, and he was very professional about it. The food was good but not as hot as I’d hoped. I also expected it to be a little tastier and juicier. The dessert, however, was delicious. I also really enjoyed the Turkish coffee, and the cocktail I had was magnificent. Overall, the staff was kind, and the atmosphere was nice, but the long wait times were disappointing. More help behind the bar would likely improve the experience. I would definitely go back to try it again.

We were really excited to eat Turkish food since we had eaten it many times in the past and have a lot of Turkish friends. I ordered the tenderloin kebab medium rare and we were disappointed when we received meat that smelled bad. When I cut it in the middle it was dark! It was obvious that the meat was not fresh because of the smell. We were disappointed especially for the price. The waiters were really nice to change my dish and did not complain. The other dish I ordered was good! We are probably not going to go back though.

Timothy Weinstein

The restaurant is grossly overpriced. I would say that every meal is $5 more than it should be. I ordered a spiced chicken wrap. For $14 + tax + tip + credit card fee, I got a small sandwich that left me hungry. They even didn't put any accompaniment like a few pita chips on the plate. My partner had a mezza platter for 4 (it was barely enough for one) and a soup. After tax, tip and fees, it came to $35! For these prices, one expects to leave satisfied. Unfortunately, that didn't happen! I can confidently say that I ate there 2x (my first and my last).

Zeynep Gumus

The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and beautiful decor, and the hosts were kind and welcoming. Unfortunately, the food didn’t quite meet our expectations, which was disappointing since we were really excited for a Turkish lunch. The portions were quite small (for example, four pieces of grape leaves for $11.99 and two paçanga böreği for $9.99), and the paçanga böreği barely had any pastırma inside. Overall, the food quality felt below average compared to authentic Turkish standards. I hope they consider bringing in a chef who’s more familiar with traditional Turkish cuisine, because the place itself has great potential.
