The atmosphere was fun, but the food was not great. Chicken tenders looked like they came out of a frozen bag and tasted like it, too. Definitely not homemade as claimed. The waitress told me the best thing on the menu was the burger, and...it was extremely disappointing. One of the worst burgers I’ve had unfortunately. I wanted to like this place because of the reviews, but the food was just not good.More

Really did enjoy the entire experience but the prices listed on the trip advisor menu are apparently from the good old days . I’m not saying it’s not a good value now but….? 🤔

The 6 of us chose this Tucker's for dinner last night. We all enjoyed ourselves in part due to the attentive service provided to us by Jackie K. and her table assistant. The entrees we chose were all very good, especially the 20 oz thick...cut pork chop $18.95 and the night's special 10 oz bone in tomahawk pork chop $14.95, which came with a salad, potato and rolls. We will return.More

The young, Caucasian female hostess is very rude and snotty. However, the main problem is that this Tucker's does not have wi-fi! That is so hard to believe in this era where everyone has to be connected for work, health, family, etc. reasons. When I...could not get any signal at all I asked the server what was up. She really didn't know other than she can never get a signal either. Snotty hostess walks by so I ask her. Her reply: "We want our customers to focus on each other and not their phones!" I explained to her that I was still in my business day (at 4:00) and needed to stay in touch with business associates. She just kept walking back to her princess station. That is a decision diners should make individually, not one that Tuckers should make for everyone.More

This is the second time I have been there that the girls at the hostess stand have been rude. We were there for a date night and the wait staff was great but the girls that greet you were very rude. We went last evening...with family and the 2 girls at the stand were so incredibly rude. My husband was looking at the patio to see if there was room for us and the girl told him he couldn't walk to that side of the entrance unless he had PERMISSION!. I couldn't believe she said that to him. My brother in law said they have already left twice because the girls were so rude when they came in. I don't think we'll be visiting there again. The wait staff and food were great - just the hospitality when you enter is seriously lacking.More

I travel a lot. So I love checking out the local cuisine. Local Mom and Pops’ are my favorite! I went after the lunch rush so that there would be no excuses for rushing. This however was the worst steakhouse experience I have EVER had...in all of my 52 years. The marinade was BURNT. And I found two bones in my salad. Did management approach me to resolve the issues. NO! I didn’t eat the meal. I actually gave it away and the server was quite aware of my displeasure, yet did nothing to quell the situation. Now for a comparison, the other steakhouses in the area were very tasty and delicious. So this wasn’t a case of a misunderstood dish or local color. They just don’t care.More

This was our first time at this restaurant. Our initial impression was not so good. It was lunchtime and the place was very dark. Noise level was on the high side as well. On the positive side, the food was very good, as was the...service. Given the quantity of servings, this was a bargain. I had the 9 oz. burger. Done exactly as I requested, very juicy and flavorful, and a BARGAIN! My wife has the chef's salad, and took half of it home. Judging from the very high percentage of customers taking boxes of food home, I would say they could reduce serving sizes and still be busy. Next time I think we will sit on the patio, for a quieter experience. The key point here is that yes, we will return. Well done! Da KupunaMore

4 of us couples chose this Tucker's for dinner Friday night. They would not take a reservation nor seat us until we were all present. We agreed to meet at 4 and got seated quickly once present at a round table that barely fit us...back in the corner. BTW, Their happy hour is only in the bar and it was jammed and lunch menu ends at 4. Our waitress was Sheri and she handled us well except she forgot my order of O'rings for the table until she delivered our entrées. This VG rating is based on how good my 20 oz. tender and tasty pork loin chop cooked medium with its big perfectly cooked baked potato was for $18.95 as well as my wife's 10 oz. sirloin and it's big potato was for $17.95. Great value dinners that came with a salad and complimentary dinner rolls IOP. Everyone else thoroughly enjoyed what they ordered too.More

We've heard many good things about Tucker's, and had been many many years ago, but were extremely disappointed this time. The server was great until the food came bur then never came back again. The salad was soggy slightly brown lettuce with no crunch...virtually inedible....The cheddar cheese for the burgers is a soft ball of pub cheese rather than a slice of cheddar, which it didn't say. The burger was very much overcooked, supposed to be pink, but actually charlbroiled. On a positive note, the patio was nice and the onion rings and poppers (appetizer sampler) were delicious. If the items above are all addressed, it would be a better rating.More

We were immediately seated indoors upon arrival around 5:30 on a Friday evening. Our waiter was excellent. Wait time for ordered items was borderline. The potato skin appetizer was superb - as was my 16 oz, bacon wrapped filet. A mistake was made with my...wife’s ribeye. My son’s pork entree was far too raw to consume. (Disappointingly, our waiter assured us it was okay.) After my son finishing cooking it at home he said it as delicious. Speaking of ribeyes. My daughter-in-law’s was a 7. My wife said hers was good, but not nearly as good as that from a previous outing in the area.More

My better half and I were shopping in the area and so we went back to this Tucker's for a quick lunch this week. Their daily lunch specials suited us again. Prices are just okay in our opinion. Service was also just okay but she...was busy serving a big table next to us when we arrived. They were busy on a Wednesday at lunch hour. We dined inside.More

My wife and I have gone there many times and always have a very nice meal. The staff is friendly and the food is very good. Steaks are great but if you just want a hamburger it is one of the best in St. Louis!!!...Warning: They will not seat you until everyone in your party are there. Just a heads up to know. They do get crowded so going earlier helps.More
