| - In a word, Tuck Shop is: Awesome.
If you just drove by, surely you'd miss it (I know, I know, I shouldn't call you Shirley). It's tucked away, no pun intended, so you've got to be looking out for it, but you'll thank yourself once you walk in.
It's small and cozy inside, with about 15 tables and a full bar. The decor and ambiance is like a 50s/60s house. The waiting area is cool, it's like a living room...Nice touch. No reservations for parties under six, so if you're in a party of five or fewer, prepare to wait for 20-30 minutes for a table. I was there on a Wednesday at 7pm with a party of four and we waited about 20 minutes. A plus side is that they'll come around and take drink and appetizer orders so you can eat and drink a bit while you wait.
For dinner, I had the chicken and waffles. Um...Amazing. The waffles were savory, with cheddar and some herbs, and the chicken was juicy. My wife had the fish and chips, which she liked but didn't love. Our table also had the Mac and Cheese, Pork Tenderloin, Brussels Sprouts and Cheese Curds. I didn't personally love the Mac and Cheese, but I thought everything else was really good.
Service was attentive, always around if you need something but not hanging around. One of the best things about Tuck Shop is the prices...Our tab top to bottom with 4 entrees, apps and wine was around $110 for the four of us. More than reasonable for the quality of food.
I'll definitely be back.
