| - The problem when you have a friend with the palate of a child? They have horrible taste in food and restaurants.
My husband and I were invited last minute to go to Tucker's for a friend's birthday. I knew already it was a bad idea since I tried their bland food over 5 years ago, and his new girlfriend did not even like North American food. His excuse was he wanted to show her "good" white food, like OMG...*shake my head*
I knew vaguely of their free birthday meals. We went on a Sunday, and his birthday was the following Tuesday. I thought, oh he just wants to go so he gets a free dinner - no problem, I'll be happy to attend and help him out. I found out that the birthday promo was only valid for the exact date of their birthday. So nope! He actually wanted to pay full price and for dinner too. It was $25/person for dinner - I think this is very overpriced for what they offer.
I definitely think they are under staffed as there were stacks of dirty plates left on our table the whole time and we had to go out of our way to ask our server for refills on our drinks. The server would regularly pass by our dirty plates.
There were a huge variety of salads, which I'm not a huge fan of (Insert "You don't make friends with salad" joke), but an underwhelming and small selection of main courses. I did not enjoy any of the main courses. I guess what you pay for the dinner here for is their roast cuts of meats, which I am not a fan of, and the people who I ate with didn't seem to eat more than a bite of their meat selections.
I had their coconut curry stir fry, which they cook fresh right in front of you; the sauce tasted horrible and watery.
Their breads were good and fresh, however their butters/spreads were not very good.
Their chilli was labelled as "award winning" but it wasn't anything special.
The dessert selection was very visually appealing: Cheesecake, carrot cake, flan, gluten free cupcakes, ice cream, etc. I'm a huge fan of cupcakes but their cupcakes were horrible. My husband loves flan but did not like their flan. Their cheesecake was good but did not taste like cheesecake at all! I enjoyed their ice cream.
My husband and I had horrible stomach aches that night and the next morning. We didn't even stuff ourselves like we usually do at buffets. We were thinking it was possibly the butter/spreads and they were not refrigerated/kept cool.
We were out $75 for my husband and I, including drinks and tips. Could have easily spent that money elsewhere and had much better food and service.
