| - I feel like Kevin Spacey in House of Cards when I eat here. Excellent BBQ spot that is a hidden gem. I'm almost afraid to write this because I don't want this place getting too crowded (for selfish reasons), but I also want it to stick around because it's some of the best BBQ in Phoenix and one of my favorite places.
All the BBQ is quality and Tuck matches it's sauces with the type of meat to create the perfect marriage of sauce and smoky meat goodness. The Turkey Breast, as mentioned by the Phoenix New Times IS a stand-out, but mostly because of its uniqueness. Turkey isn't always seen on a BBQ joint's menu, let alone with its own citrus sauce that compliments the rich, smoky flavor of the Turkey.
I love that they have $2 "good" beers which include hipster favorites such as PBR & High Life. You can pay more for "great beers" but $2 beers is a cheap buzz that I usually take advantage of!
The back patio is tranquil and I can imagine all the future hipster weddings happening here.
My only complaint is the potato salad. I want to love it, I really do. I order it every time- partially because I love potato salad and BBQ (the cooling effect of the cold mayo is in perfect contrast to smoky BBQ'd meats). The flavor is above-par and has gotten rave reviews from the New Times and Yelpers. However, the potatoes are usually under-cooked, which is so sad. However, when it comes to potato salad, I'd rather have my potatoes a bit more soft, than hard, so maybe I'm in the minority. However, the potato salad is my reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Sorry Tuck shop, I do love you!
