★★★★☆ 4.0 Chris Gabelman · Feb 2026

Went to Tuckerbox on a busy Saturday night. The food was good, very fresh and you can tell it’s homemade. Service was attentive enough considering how busy it was. My only real complaint is the price to portion ratio, as the prices are a little high for the given portions…. But, the owner was very nice and we left satisfied, would definitely come back if we lived in the area.

Huge respect to the owners of this lovely Turkish restaurant. We were visiting this town and found out about this place and the next cafe place. We came here for breakfast/brunch and seated quickly to a booth. We ordered Menemen with added Sucuk and turkish white cheese (TOP CHOICE). It was one of the best we ate on the trip especially the succulent Sucuks. We also tried sour cherry turkish jam which was good. We also tried the Sigara Boregi (4 pieces only), and it had little fillings than I expected but good flavor. We also ordered cappuccino and turkish tea which were great! The place has a nice Turkish decor and friendly staff. Overall, this place is worth a try especially for a breakfast/brunch.

The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and beautiful decor, and the hosts were kind and welcoming. Unfortunately, the food didn’t quite meet our expectations, which was disappointing since we were really excited for a Turkish lunch. The portions were quite small (for example, four pieces of grape leaves for $11.99 and two paçanga böreği for $9.99), and the paçanga böreği barely had any pastırma inside. Overall, the food quality felt below average compared to authentic Turkish standards. I hope they consider bringing in a chef who’s more familiar with traditional Turkish cuisine, because the place itself has great potential.

I had the VT striploin at this Turkish restaurant in Vermont and it was absolutely delicious — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and well presented. The sides were fresh and complemented the steak really well. I also want to give special thanks to our server, Ege, who is Turkish. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and very descriptive when explaining the menu, which made the experience even better. His friendly attitude and attention to detail truly stood out. Great food and excellent service — I would definitely recommend this place and look forward to coming back!

Hello everyone, yesterday I went to Tuckerbox restaurant with my esteemed guests, and I wanted to share my experience with you. First of all, as a Turk, finding a Turkish restaurant in such a small city was very exciting for me. The atmosphere, authenticity, and aesthetic appearance I encountered when I entered reminded me of Cappadocia architecture. With my guests, we first ordered appetizers. We tried stuffed grape leaves, various mezes, and hot pastries. For the main course, we chose various kebabs and wine/cocktails. I tried the Beyti kebab; the portion was quite large, and most importantly, it was very delicious. We finished with complimentary baklava, and it felt like I was back in Turkey. After the meal, I met the restaurant owner, Mr. Vural, and saw how things are run behind the sc
