Super tasty hot chocolate, one of the best I've had, bf had "you can call it above average" latte. Tasty sandwich, nice space, was pretty busy on a Saturday morning but we found a spot at one end of the big ol' table. Happy. read more

1st time at this lovely Turkish restaurant. We had a 7:00 reservation and we were seated promptly. The food was very fresh and the lamb kebabs were the best I have ever had The waitresses and waiters were friendly, and very helpful . Overall a very nice experience read more

I'll get to the point: every one of us liked every item we ate and drank during our first outing here (for dinner). Simple as that. Know that for a year this has been a Mediterranean/Turkish restaurant, and only 2 months ago started serving dinners; it is not the former coffee/lunch place. They kept the name (a marketing error in several ways, I think; for example, many locals have not realized they are now a totally different restaurant than the place that came before it, and who would think "great ethnic restaurant" when hearing "Tuckerbox"?) That said... this place is *great.* You will definitely want to make a reservation as it is small and rapidly becoming more popular. We were 4 people: two 50-something and two 80-something adults, we all shared the sampler appetizer plate, an excellent introduction to usual and unusual Mediterranaen fare except that everything was so *fresh!*. We tried four different entrees & four different desserts and all had wines recommended by one of the owners to go with each of our dishes. Fresh ingredients, delicious food, cozy nighttime ambiance, easy parking, attentive and well-timed service even when completely full. March 2015 Update: We've been back twice since writing the original review, and still stand by every word. Our only new comment is that sometimes you must have a reservation and at other times it can be an easy walk-in. read more

This is a wonderful spot. My mother and I were in town for a baking class at King Arthur and stopped in for dinner. We split lavash bread and babaganoush, which was fresh and homemade. She loved her Adana Kebaba and I had the Shepard salad with the best falafel I have ever had. I would come back in a heartbeat! read more

Who would have guessed that we could have found quality Mediterranean food in the middle of White River Junction, Vermont? On a whim, a group of us stopped here for lunch and we were all amazed by the quality of food. Everything was freshly prepared and very authentic and we all left feeling full, but not overly stuffed. I would highly recommend the Turkish Meze Platter that is served with lavash bread. It is the perfect dish for sharing and gives one a great sampling of a variety of Turkish delicacies. read more

We were pleasantly surprised to find a Turkish restaurant in Vermont so close to us. Recently my husband and I relocated to the area from New York. We have been missing one of of favorite places to have dinner, Ali Baba. A neighbor recommended the Tuckerbox so we decided to stop in. We had the falafel to start, the tahini sauce delicious. I had the doner kebab which was tender and full of flavor and my husband had the yellowfin kebab. We were impressed with the quality of the food. The ambiance is lovely. The service was on the slow side but the staff was friendly and inviting. read more

Well my first experience with Tuckerbox was just Turkish Coffee, which was delightful as was the atmosphere of this Cafe. The second experience was lunch with a friend with Chai as our drink. We shared our orders and I have to say they were wonderful: Doner Kebab and Pachanga Borek. The lamb in the Kebab was so soft yet so delicately marinated it was food for the gods, while the Borek took our breaths away--I probably could have had a dozen of these! The dishes are presented beautifully and the taste is exquisite, not too mention how good the Chai was!!! I highly recommend this Turkish Bistro when you want something magical and different. Compliments to the chef!!!!!!! read more

Food is absolutely fantastic, both at the location and takeout. Service can be a little spotty on occasions - definitely depends on who is working on the day. Still, well worth the wait, and definitely recommended. read more

Great coffee, great vibe, free wifi. Plenty of free parking. What more can you ask for? Easily, the best café in the Upper Valley, hands down. read more

My absolute favorite place to eat in the Upper Valley. Great place to take visiting relatives, friends, etc. Extremely friendly owner and staff!! read more

Landed just after closing - they made me a drink anyway! Oh yeah...sure did...I tipped!!

Stopped in here for dinner and it was delicious. We are big fans of Mediterranean/Turkish cuisine and this place did not disappoint! The service was ver friendly and the interior was lovely. Wish this restaurant was in our town! read more

Great food and coffee! It has a trendy, New York City feel to it and is always busy with interesting people.

The person behind the desk at our hotel gave us a card for Tuckerbox in the morning after we asked for a place to grab coffee. It was a bit far from the hotel, but didn't disappoint! We were on a road trip, so we had to get going, but I would've loved to try lunch here. Coffee was awesome. Place looked like it was really good. If you're looking for coffee in this area, I definitely suggest Tuckerbox. read more

Great little find in White Junction! Meze platter was just perfect and their chicken pesto sandwich was delicious.

For someone that has been to the Mediterranean Region & had its food, this place is as close as it gets to replicating it's taste. The atmosphere of the restaurant is decorated quite nicely but the service is a 3.5/5 stars. The Appetizers were over priced & the portions are small. We tried the pudding dessert & it was subpar. Overall, the entree's were fantastic & I will definitely be coming back. read more

Pricey, stingy portions, and fair food. Maybe breakfast or lunch are better? Was hoping for better after my parents raved about it. Hummus appetizer should be called a sampler plate it's so small. The food needs to be outstanding if you charge ~20$/plate for Turkish food. read more

This restaurant has recently expanded it they hit it out of the park. White River Junction is really up and coming. If you haven't visited, CHECK IT OUT. You can catch some theater, get a good meals and definitely take a look at the depot area. The restaurant features Middle Eastern food but you can get a grill cheese if you ask. I loved the Baklava. The coffee is very good. They make a very good Turkish coffee. They attract a wide variety of people as well. If you like to people watch, this is a great place to do it. read more

A good cup of coffee in a cute little town. Nice atmosphere - very hipster. 5 stars would have been awarded but they don't stock vanilla syrup....? how does that even work? read more

A very charming Turkish restaurant located in downtown WRJ. We ordered grilled eggplant stuffed with beef and a swordfish/beef kabob plate for dinner. Both plates came with grilled bell peppers, rice, and grilled tomatoes. Of the two plates, we liked the stuffed eggplant the best. The eggplant was perfectly seasoned with onion and tomato. The kabobs were a little under seasoned, but grilled perfectly. The sides were tasty. We ate everything. The service was excellent. The very friendly waitress and manager greeted us as soon as we walked through the door. Water was refilled without being ask. The waitress and manager checked on us several times. Our total bill was $45 with a draft beer. A real gem in a small town with limited options for dinner. read more

OMG-sooooo delectable!! You can taste the homemade freshness in every bite. The meat was so moist and tender you could cute it with a fork. The seasoning was spot on as it enhanced the natural flavored if the veggies and meats. And the Turkish wine brought it all together for a grand celebration of flavored in your mouth. The service was incredible considering how crowded it was. If I lived here, this would be one of my favorite places!!! Yum yum!! read more

GREAT COFFEE, and yummy food! Love the Egg Samich, and the vegan chickpea stew. Make sure you get there before they stop serving their food, at 2pm I believe, but the coffee is worth the visit alone. read more

I've come here several times. It has a coffee shop feel, you could order a Joe & sit with your laptop for hours. The food is good. I'd give it a B+. Service is good. Parking is free & plentiful street parking. This is an adorable part of town & neighborhood!! read more

One of my favorite local restaurants. It's amazing that such a wonderful restaurant exists in a rural town like White River Junction. My personal favorites are the baklava, swordfish kebab, and almond pudding. read more

I spent five nights in White River Junction, and had been recommended to try Tuckerbox by the hotel (on the same block) I was staying at and by somebody I had met along the way. Despite what their website says and despite my attempts to eat there, they would not prepare a pick-up order for me. The first time I called, the phone went directly to an automatic response which basically told me to call back. I tried that multiple times and finally got a person. I told her I wanted to place an order to pick up. She also asked me to call back, but I refused to do that. She said they weren't doing pick up orders that evening and hung up. The next day I was back at my hotel about 5:30 and thought I will just give them as much time as they needed to prepare a pick up order. I walked into the restaurant and again was refused that service. So, I can't rate the food or the in-house service, which I believe is probably very good by the number of people that were there. However I give them one star for forcing me to get in my car and drive someplace else to find dinner those evenings. read more

Excellent place for a decent doner lamb and beef kabab. Good place to study and have a Turkish coffee. Their Turkish 'salsa' is a perfect pair with a piece of lavash and their hummus. This is odd, but the water cup size is generous - much appreciated! read more

Had the most lovely lunch here on the way home to Boston. Had a grilled cheese sandwich and a diner sandwich to share. Both were delicious, grilled cheese was so good we ordered another. The coffee is excellent, one of the best I have had in the US. Place also has wifi, and is a good cafe to have a coffee and get some work done. Will definitely be back! read more

This is one of my all time favorite restaurants for dinner - and not just for the area! They serve some of the best food I have ever eaten. I generally go for the chicken shish kebab. It just might be the best chicken I've ever eaten in a restaurant. Moist, tender, amazing flavor, to die for! Their desserts are amazing too. Definitely try the künefe - it might sound a bit odd - cheese and shredded wheat? - but trust me, it is really good! There is something for everyone, and they offer a good selection of gluten free, and vegan options as well. read more

I love Tuckerbox. Best coffee, ever. Lavash bread and hummus dips outrageously yummy. Veggie options all good!

Their food is amazing. The owners are Turkish and the food is very authentic. It's a great break from all of the pub-food and steak restaurants in the Hanover area, and the fast food in West Lebanon. Their cafe is good too, I always get an almond milk latte. read more

The coffee here is some of the best in the Upper Valley. Prepare to be caffeinated.

Best coffee in the upper valley! I especially love their iced mochas and iced caramel lattes. They are very friendly and fast. We also take advantage of their frequent customer program and get free drinks! The atmosphere is great for reading, working, or connecting with a friend. read more

What a lovely place for a cup of coffee and some middle eastern dessert. Place was packed by 5:30 on a Saturday night by early dinner eaters but even so service was friendly and coffee and dessert delicious. If in this area will definitely go back. read more

This is our favorite Upper Valley restaurant at the moment. We bring friends here a lot. The lamb kabob is excellent, as is the swordfish kabob. The baba ganoush is great. Try some of the red wines from Turkey. The Syrah is quite good. The owner and staff are friendly and attentive. Great addition to the small number of ethnic restaurants in the area. read more

We're back again , as we are most weeks . It's still the best coffee in the Upper Valley!!! read more

First of all, the service was excellent and the ambiance of the cafe was unique and quite authentic. We would recommend Turkish coffee which comes with one little Turkish delight, traditionally served. We ordered the mezze platter which comes with the bread, chicken Kebob and falafel. We think the food was good but can be improved as well as some of the presentation. For example, falafels were a bit hard to chew and overcooked and the mezze platter was smaller than expected. Overall it was a nice experience. read more

A good place to grab a bite in White River Junction. Reliably tasty vegetarian food and good coffee. I only wish they had a wider assortment of baked goods throughout the day. Sometimes I don't want a meal, but would like scone or something with my coffee. They are often out of muffins by the time I get there, and I prefer to eat something a little more substantial than a cookie with my coffee. read more

On a busy Saturday night, Brianna was the best waitress I could ask for. The food was delicious, promptly served. The cocktails were even better! I am so glad I decided to stop here and eat, and can't wait to go back- for the food, but especially the outstanding service! Thank you, Brianna! read more

I'm really mixed on Tuckerbox. I've been coming here for years, since back when it was just a simple coffee shop, before the current owners bought it and turned it into a Turkish restaurant. At first, they kept it as a coffeeshop in the morning and turned it into a restaurant in the evening. I thought this was a brilliant dual use of space. Gradually, they've been turning it into a table-service restaurant for all the hours they're open. For a time, this existed side-by-side - people could either get coffee at the counter and sit down to drink it, or they could get a server and be waited on. It seemed to work well from where I was sitting, but maybe it was too difficult for the staff to keep track of. Anyway, it's now table service only, and I can't say it's a change for the better. It's a decent place to eat. The food is rather good (although perhaps a tad overpriced for what it is, and I don't love that they nickel-and-dime you on little things like making you order the vegetables to dip into the hummus plate separately) and it's the only place around to get this type of food. But, the coffee shop was a really nice place to spend time and seemed to fulfill an important role in the local community. I miss it. I now have to go into Hanover to find something similar to what Tuckerbox used to be in the mornings. read more

The food was excellent. We got a window seat, and enjoyed the view. The only issue was that the place next door was loud.
