We have a friend from Waterloo who raves about this place, so we wanted to try it. First of all,…read morevibes! Swanky, classy and dark interior, with a speakeasy-roaring 20's feel. It was raining the day we came so did not get to experience the rooftop. It was not busy on the day we came but we were seated fairly close to a lingering group of 6 who were incredibly loud, which was disappointing. We were there on a Sunday which is a limited menu because of the featured all-you-can-eat Sunday fried chicken dinner served family style. It's a great deal at $19/adult! Included are biscuits, dirty mashed potatoes, sautéed green beans, corn custard, and then the chicken. Biscuits were VERY hard...like could hurt someone if you threw it at them hard. Green beans and dirty mash were exceptional along with the accompanying gravy. I also really enjoyed the chicken--flavorful, juicy, nice crust, piping hot. The corn custard, while the texture and corn flavor were nice, lacked seasoning. They mean it when they say all you can eat, and we were even given boxes to take home the few extras our stomachs didn't have room for. The service was unfortunately not great, took a while to see our waiter and we were never offered water refills. Overall, a nice restaurant with good food, would love to try their full menu. I deducted a star for noise, service, and a couple food items being a bit subpar. It was a half hour drive for us so if we ever happen to be in Waterloo would like to go back but probably wouldn't make a special trip for it due to the drive and us not being absolutely blown away.

For our pre-Christmas dinner, my husband brought me here…read more The place is located in downtown Waterloo. There were plenty of street parking available and within walking distance from the restaurant. When we arrived, we were greeted immediately and brought to an elevator. We were seated on the second floor overlooking the streets. The place is beautifully decorated from what looked like repurposed doors. I'm not sure if the door looks were intentional or they truly were repurposed. Either way, they gave the restaurant characters. Our waitress stopped by shortly after we were seated and took our drink orders. After she brought us our drinks, we placed an order for some smoked prawn roll (jalapeño cream cheese mousse, red pepper jelly, fried wanton and cucumber). Delicious! Next came our entrée. I ordered the 16 oz cowboy ribeye, medium rare. The steaks are a la carte. I ordered a side of brown butter asparagus to go with my steak. They offer accouterment for the steaks but I decided against it. My steak was prepared properly and was quite tasty. My husband had the grilled salmon which he also thoroughly enjoyed. For dessert, I ordered the chocolate grand Marnier creme caramel. It was divine! Overall, our dining experience was wonderful. Making the 20-minute trek was well worth it.

We were in Red Bud at the IGA Meat Sale (which you should go next time they have it) and decided to stop in again On Sundays they serve a Brunch Menu!!! OMG so good!!! Highly recommend!!!! I had the Chicken and Waffles (I don't get waffles often but I do splurge when I go out). The Waffle was hot and soft and the chicken tenders were so good!! Drizzling some Syrup and butter on it.... So good My brother had the Breakfast Burger!!! Burger with bacon and egg. Then the hubby and sister in law had the BBLT which was good. The Sweet Potatoes Fries were probably the best I ate.

This place is set up in what looks like an old home- it's cozy, and we went upstairs to our table. Lisa was our server, she was professional, helpful, and friendly. We took a while to review the menu, and I took advantage of the Wednesday daily special- which was the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. I chose swiss over provolone, and ordered french fries as my side. The food came out lightning fast, and Lisa was helping us with refills. I ate my lunch fast, as I had a light dinner and no food since. By the time we were wrapping up around 1:30, it was quiet in the restaurant. During the main lunch rush- it's pretty busy. This is a historic spot, and one that I thought was great on service. The lunch special is 9.95, but the fries are a la carte. Not a giant deal, it was still a good price overall! Thanks to Lisa and the team here at Tucker's Place for a nice meal with my customer. Support small owned businesses!

Soulard location has gone down hill…read more Long over 1 hour waits until you get sat and started ordering on Sunday nights. Dirty tables and floors. They are always out of potatoes by 6:30pm. Rolls are cold and butter even more so. Give you plastic cups of water until new cups are cleaned. No silverware until you ask. Cramped seating next to all parties making it hard for guests and servers to get around. Plus food is not worth the price anymore. READY FOR A MAKEOVER! Accessibility note: not at all accessible. Not for children. Cannot get a wheelchair inside.

One of my personal favorites is the prime rib, and they always deliver! Great food, a comfortable atmosphere, and a true small-town hidden gem.

Each entree provides you with a theee course meal- salad, soup, entree with side! The salad is a hard one to beat. The homemade dressing is delicious, I believe it is a port wine dressing. I always go for the stuffed shrimp. They're stuffed with seafood and creamy cheese. In the 20 years I've been going I've always ordered them and think about them! The strawberry daiquiris are hard to beat and strong. The service is always amazing and they do a great job at squeezing you in during busy times. If you're in the area it is worth stopping for!

Mariah was a super sweet server who was friendly knowledgeable and attentive to our table. We didn't feel rushed or pressured, it was a relaxing brunch to sit and talk and catch up!

After that we got the farm fresh omelets, Italian slinger, breakfast burrito and steak and eggs with grits.

This wasn't our first time stopping in after church and it sure won't be our last!

Asked for a list of specials but, even though menu said ask for starter/chef special, she didn't seem to know about it. The Caprese flatbread was underwhelming. The tomatoes were not red or flavorful, they looked like tomatoes on a Subway sandwich. The base/bread of the flatbread was prepackaged and tasted like nothing. Ordered a $68 bone in ribeye. Undercooked which had to be a challenge given the thin cut. The best part about the steak was the crunchy sea salt that topped it. Even Cracker Barrel fills your water. Our waters were never refilled. The menu prices did not meet the low bar standards for every part of this dining experience from the service to the poor quality of the food. Unfortunately this place was a bust.

Customers should leave feedback before the restaurant fails. So sad.

Every table was full, which makes me smile, it being a small town business!! Such a difference in this visit from a few months ago! Our waitress, Lexi, catered to our every whim without hesitation.

Fried chicken, moist with crunchy seasoned coating, not greasy at all! We also had top notch, hand breaded mushrooms and zucchini. Wow!! To die for!! I couldn't eat my chicken tortilla soup; it was too spicy for my taste. Lexi kept our drinks refilled, the owner brought us towels to dry ourselves with from the downpour we were in!

I asked what they do best and the waitress confidently recommended catfish and proceeded to talk about the breading and all. A woman at a nearby table said "it's so good" and held up a piece to take a bite. I was sold and the crunch of the breading was awesome and the fish was amazing! The hand cut fries were great too. And because I needed more fried food, I ordered a side of fried pickles. Yum with ranch! My sister had the ribeye sandwich and wouldn't stop talking about how awesome it was. She loved everything about it. Made each of us try it. Talked about the marinade, the fresh mushrooms that were sauted and all the things. And the onion rings were so good she gushed. My brother-in-law had a brisket pastrami that he loved. We had a great server who was friendly, quick and knew the place inside and out! They have been traveling for three weeks and said this was the best meal of the trip! That definitely rates stars and a Yelp review!

She didn't bother checking on me for coffee refill ect I got tired of waiting to pay and walked up to counter to see if I could pay and leave. Had to wait for her and the cook till they finished arguing with another patron about a sandwich wrap. Took a few more minutes to get her to ring me up. The cook seemed irritated and told the lady "I'll remake it" If it was me seeing how annoyed he was I wouldn't eat that wrap. I won't be going back , my omelet was decent and would rate a 4 star but the service was horrible. Waitress seemed more inclined to gab with other staff or checking her phone than tending to customers.
