Tucker Duke’s Lunchbox

My daughter brought me here for Fathers day. We both had the Tucker Duke burger… Amazing! My fiancée had the french toast… which turned out to be angel food cake served with drunken berries and custard, delicious! We also tried the Rueben fritters, they were incredable! See a trend? I thought this chef was special, further investigation uncovered Chef Brian won a episode on food networks «Cut Throat Kitchen’. I will be going back there soon. Try this awrsome hole in the wall!

Don’t go, been 4 or 5 times. Terrible

We went here to give the place a third try and had yet another terrible experience. The service was incredibly slow but most notably, the food is horrendous — we had two watered down Bloddy Mary’s and had to ask for more mix which the waitress just brought out the bottle and dumped into our drinks to «fix» them. Our food came out completely cold, the sweet potato fries were so old they were limp and soggy. I emailed management to give them a chance to respond before posting this review but they never responded. Needless to say, I would not recommend this place and we will not be back.

I had Tucker Duke’s Lunchbox before when it used to be in Tallahassee. I was worried that this location was not going to stand up to the high standards I had before, but it was just as good! Great burgers, great beers and friendly service! I came one night and sadly it was a table for one, but the servers and bartenders made me feel welcome. The restaurant is water front, so you get a great view if you are sitting outside.
For dinner I ordered portabella fries as an appetizers. They came out hot out the pot and were thickly cut. There is a horsey sauce it comes with that was amazingly delicious. The sauce completed the snack and went great with my Florida local beer. Tucker Duke’s is known for their unique burgers and as it was Tuesday night I had to get their special. The Tucker Duke burger comes with fried onions rings, american cheese, tucker sauce, lettuce, and tomato. It was huge! A thick burger that I could only finish half of it. It is fairly affordable and for Niceville, this is one of the best options for dinner.

I went to Tucker Duke’s a couple of weeks with my oldest son while visiting Niceville, FL. We had a good experience. The wait staff was very nice and the food was very good. The food has some unique and delicious combinations like the Nacho Tots and the jalapeño and bacon Mac-​n-​cheese. I ordered The Tucker Duke — their signature burger. I was very tasty as well.
The next time I visit, I’m going back.

I’ve had burgers from here before and they’re pretty good. A bunch of us came here for lunch and the wait was horrendous. We waited for an hour and a half for our food and had to get it to go bc we had to get back to work. Definitely will not be back during lunch and I don’t recommend anyone go if you’re on a lunch break. Not a happy camper.

Tucker dukes is probably one of the best local restaurants in the area! Beautiful location and awesome food that is very affordable! And gigantic burgers! It is water front and a very relaxing setting! 5 stars in my book!

The service was awesome!!! I made a common mistake. Don’t do the same. Get the burgers!!!

Have been here three times and have received horrible customer service every time. Last time there wet three other tables filled, that’s it, and it took an hour to get a beer (they had a new bartender) this is truly a trend and won’t be goin get back!

I have been here before for dinner, it was always fabulous. Great burgers and can’t rave enough about the jalapeño Mac and cheese!!!
This time I tried the brunch. I’ve traveled all over the world and love to eat and try new things, best quiche I’ve EVER had, the waffles are compared to the traditional Belgium waffles in Brussels.
Great service, the owner even came over to make sure we liked our food.
I highly recommend this place and will return with no doubt.

I’m surprised this place isn’t rated higher, the burgers are AWESOME! By far the best in the area. Great beer list, cocktail menu, and lots of appetizers and sides. It’s hard to beat the Frank and Bobbert– tater tots on my burger? Yes please!
If possible I would give the food six stars, but the service is the downside. It’s always slow. Always. However this is one of very few restaurants in the area where the food makes up for poor service.
I rarely eat out in the FWB area but this is always on my list when I do.

We visited Tucker Duke’s today for brunch. We’ve been before for lunch and dinner and have enjoyed it. However, brunch isn’t on the same level.
Pros: the a la carte buffet idea is a nice touch. You pay $ 17 and can order as much food on the Sunday Funday menu as you want. All the items we tried were very good except for the beignets. You get cooked to order dishes and don’t have to eat food that has been sitting out for awhile.
Cons: Service at brunch was terrible. We had to ask our waitress for the same thing multiple times and this happened more than once. The wait was also horrible. We waited an hour and fifteen minutes for our first food item to arrive. We also ordered the bottomless mimosas and waited at least 20 minutes between refills. My husband ordered coffee and he waited 10 minutes between refills.
Overall, the experience was pretty average. We might return just to see if it gets better. Hire more wait staff and cooks ASAP!

The food is amazing and the staff is very friendly. They have great beers and a great atmosphere not to mention the very best burger on the Gulf Coast

It’s our ritual every Sunday for my hubs and I to get the tucker duke and bottomless mimosa. Great everytime! Did have their apple fritter French toast, last weekend. Was pretty bland and apple seemed like artificially flavored out of a bucket. BUT burgers are ALWAYS on point.

Went for lunch with friends. We ate inside as the weather was not conducive to eating outside. I loved the area around the restaurant — the view, the boats and the statues.
I had the Tucker Duke with sweet potato fries and loved it. It was huge and I had to remove the onion rings to even attempt eating it. Only thing I would have changed was the sauce which was ok but not my favourite. Next time I will ask for a different one. I also had a beer after a discussion with the waitress on the qualities of the many different ones on offer. She was very helpful and I did enjoy the one I chose.
Well worth a visit.

Love The Tucker Duke! Tator tots are great, but by far, my favorite is the Bloody Mary. Dale did an awesome job… as usual.

If you are looking for fast food, you might not want to eat at Tucker Duke’s. It’s a unique chef owned restaurant with great vibes. It’s the perfect place to go chill after work or on the weekends to have one of a kind drinks, craft beer, and great food. We have become regulars at Tucker Duke’s because we love everything about it. We love the staff, the cocktails, the craft beer selection and the culinary creations of Chef Brian. The restaurant is located overlooking the water and provides the perfect atmosphere to take our out of town guests. We’ve taken large groups of family and friends regularly and have never been disappointed with our experience.

Met a friend here on a Friday for lunch; seated on the patio and enjoyed the great views of the water. Our server was great and our food came out in a reasonable amount of time. The daily special burger was delish… fried pickles, onion rings, cheddar, bacon and mustard aioli sauce. Hubby had the jambalaya; spicy but good. He enjoyed the salad and the sweet potatoes fries were good as well. Parking can be a bit dicey.

Always excellent! Tasty food — my favorites are anything with their pulled pork. Service staff is top notch — I haven’t been in for over a month and Staci remembers my name. Then she treated my kids like a mom would. Who could ask for more.
PS — need to change your address to NLYC.

Tucker Dukes Didn’t plan this night — they have got kids and family with no place to sit — bar closed for Toys for Tots private event no way to take orders — employees are confused as to where people should go. Tiki bar only serving eggnog hot chocolate and apple cider — ! /​sad :(- and Santa walking around using the F– Word — that’s a first — Merry Christmas I guess — Tucker Dukes style? — not sure we will get to eat !
45 min later we were seated — étouffée and TD burger was very good — so good very good just have to work on management and communication.
