Tucker Duke’s Lunchbox

Oh my Yum! The taste matches the pictures, and then some!
After seeing Jennifer S instagram page posting Tucker Duke’s scrumptious looking burger, I knew this place has to be taken off my Unilocal bookmarks, I needed to go there Finally!
Went on a Saturday night with my husband and baby. The hostess booth is outside. The hostess asked inside or outside there would be a wait, but there was seating at the bar.
The layout reminded me of a modern-​hip diner.
We all sat at the bar, well the baby had a high chair to strap down beside us, but otherwise everything was great. There was plenty of action going on to look at for the baby and ourselves.
Saw a Biscayne Bay Buenos Noches craft beer on tap 7 $, so got it. 10.1% alcohol the name says it all. Perfect partner in crime to a burger any day ;) speaking of crime I love that they put a steak knife through the burgers, kicks up the delicious burger factor a notch.
I ordered the Fido burger 8 $: Toasted onion bun smothered in cheddar-​butter (yes! In-​house creation whipping up cheddar and butter! yum), American and cheddar cheese (great combo), fried onions, house made ketchup, duke sauce, pickles, spring greens.
I ordered mine medium, I normally order mine medium-​rare, but the waitress said they undercook the orders, compared to what we’re used to, that’s a nice change!
Well yes after first bite this is Burgergasm to another level. I’m not a fan of ketchup bit this house made concoction was tomatoey-​heaven! I even took some To-​go along with half my monstrous burger.
My husband ordered the Mondragon 12 $ -
6 pieces of bacon, fried egg, American and cheddar cheese, really good:) thick crispy bacon at its finest. I asked about toasted buns because I see it mentioned in several Unilocal reviews, but I guess that’s a thing of the past… these buns are toasted.
*Make sure to ask if you want to be 100% sure.
We spilt an order of the house chips. They are well seasoned slightly sweet bbq taste to the garlic chips. I was surprised they were served cold, I thought they would be warm. They still are delicious and addictive.
These chips dipped in the homemade ketchup tasted just like ketchup chips! If you’re from the north, you’d know Lay’s and other chip brands make Ketchup chips, miss them? ?get them here! !
Our waitress Samantha was very attentive (I remembered her name because of my Unilocal Elite friend), and other servers at the bar would check up on us too. They run a real team here, group effort.
Because of the baby I went to the bathroom, I believe there is 1 bathroom? or 2? For the whole restaurant. Luckily it was vacant, but then I felt rushed hearing someone at the door.
**With Unilocal Check In you get a free desert of the menu! ! I know, what can be more awesome? We got the s’mores dessert brownie to-​go Bonus
Excellent amazing burgers, the buns are really delicious. The craft beers are great, friendly staff. Everyone said bye and thanked us for coming, which is always nice and makes you feel good :)
Tucker Duke’s Lunchbox, I will be back ! I will bring a pic of my dog to put on the wall, that and a past receipt gets you a burger too! Oh and every month first Tuesday they have a 5 $ Tucker Burger night which is a great value because these babies (referring to the burgers) are 8 $ a pop, worth every penny too!

Best burger ive had. Friendly service and have a good selection of craft beers. Ordered the portobella fried and the el pedro burger. Comes with jalapeño cream cheese, chipotle mayo, and grilled onions. My favorite now above charm city. Indoor and outdoor seating

Wow! Best $ 10 burger I’ve had in a long while. Great atmosphere, very relaxed. Eclectic craft beer selection, wine and wine based drinks. Kid friendly but small. Well worth the small wait we had and will most certainly will be back.
We had the Sofia, and the Bash’s with a side of tots. Burgers, tots and beer… nothing more simple and better. Great concept and throughly enjoyed.
Staff is friendly and helpful and service was in line with the concept. No huge wait for food, it was all hot, fresh and well prepared.

Great burger and beer! Go here on an empty stomach and you won’t leave unhappy. The burgers are huge and the beer is plentiful.
I tried the El Pedro burger and it was amazing! A bit on the spicy side, but perfect none the less.
Truly a must go to joint!

They really do have the best burgers in town! We come here often for lunch, brunch, happy hour and dinner! My friends from out of town always make a stop to grab a burger/​beer, everytime they are here– that’s how much they love the burgers!
My favorites are the Nacho Tots, Bottomless Mimosas at brunch and the El Pedro!
They have a huge selection of beers to choose from including South Florida favorites from the Funky Buddha Brewery.
Parking used to be hard to find sometimes, but they provide additional parking out back now — so there’s absolutely no issues with parking now!

Among of the best burger I ever had, and that comes form a guy living in burger-​crazy Central CT.
Five of us met here for a late Valentines day lunch. At 1:45pm they were still taking names for seating, including single chairs at the counter.
Their menu, though limited, had something for everyone, like salads, sandwiches, appetizers and such, but it was dominated by the burger, and had several variations. Their most popular is the original «Tucker Duke,» topped with American cheese, onion rings, lettuce, tomato, and Tucker sauce, which is somewhat akin to a lightly spicy Russian dressing. If you don’t like lettuce, or want a different cheese, order something else, because as the menu proudly avers, «We DO NOT change the Tucker Duke Burger.» Not to worry, they have 10 burgers on the regular menu, plus a few on their specials, including a creation known as the Double-​Duck, which had two half-​pound patties, onion rings, lettuce, tomato, duck bacon, and a fried duck egg. Words cannot describe how magnificent this sky-​scraper of meat was. Suffice it to say I used my share of napkins.
One mistake we made was ordering tater tots and sweet potato fries. Even though there were five of us, we couldn’t put a dent in them.
Still have room? They currently offer a free dessert for every two entrees ordered when you check in with the Unilocal app. Call that Irony, because no way could we stuff another thing into our happy tummies!
PS check out the wall of doggy pics near the restrooms!

A long line greeted us (which was the first good sign) after a 30 minute wait I enjoyed their steak burger with jalapeño Mac n cheese. Although the cheese could have been hotter the meal was still flavorful & Delicious! Service was also good here.

Thank god for Unilocal… It lead us to this amazing restaurant!
The burgers we had the special for February-​Double Duck burger, the house burger-​the Tucker Duke, and Fido burger were all delicious and made to perfection! The sweet potato waffle fries were extremely tasty-​crunchy on outside and soft and flavorful on inside.
The waite staff were also attentive to our needs and choices but did not hover too close.
The atmosphere inside is tall luncheonette style seating and regular outdoor seating so enjoyable in the Florida air!
Thank you again Unilocal and past reviewers for leading us in the right choice of a meal once again!

I hadn’t been here for 1.5 years, but their 2^nd Anniversary celebration was the perfect excuse to come back. I had a little trouble finding my dog’s photo on the wall… but I did, and it’s still there! Cool.
For this milestone they offered $ 5 Tucker Duke burgers with the purchase of a beverage. So me and my bf both ordered their signature burger along with a couple craft beer drafts: Barrel of Monks’ «White Wizard» & Cigar City’s «Lue Gim Gong’s Orange Peel Pale Ale». Both were fantastic. I was impressed with their selection of local craft beer on tap.
As for the burger, we both loved them. It’s a classic now with a cult following. I ordered mine medium rare, and mine came out first. It was basically raw, which I don’t mind, but I urged my bf to bump up his to «medium» which he then did and it came out perfectly. I am not sure if this was just because they were churning them out for the day and someone was a little too eager in the kitchen or this is the standard practice for them, so if you don’t like your burger raw, like my bf, maybe bump up the cooking grade a notch so you enjoy your meal. He loved it and it was cooked perfectly. He’s a fussy eater, too, who wanted to customize his burger a little, so beware that’s another no-​no for this place and their signature dish. He ended up scraping the Tucker Duke sauce off and he still enjoyed it.
Service was great too. Recommended.

Literally the best burger I have ever had!!!
I thought Vega’s in Miami was amazing, don’t get me wrong IT IS, this is a new level!
Coming back every chance I get

Everything was delicious! Went with three others. We ordered the sampler platter and then each got a different burger. Portions were huge and we really couldn’t even finish. Service was great and I ordered the burger that our server recommended for me. Music selection was on point, place was clean, and I liked the industrial look of it.
Large menu with lots of options for meat lovers and vegetarians alike.
Beer and wine selection, but I would go for the local craft beer. We ordered a bottle of prosecco because we were celebrating and that was very good as well.
We will be back again to try more of the menu.

I. was tuckered out reading reviews so I decided it was time to get myself in for what everyone’s raving about. I started off with the fried pickles… they came out really cooked fantastically and looked so crispy and they were! The avocado ranch is made in house and goes really good with the pickles. I chose the «sami» upon the bartender’s recommendation. I also ordered the jalapeño and bacon mac and cheese.hey.I can take this all home for dad… don’t think I’m eating for the winter like the bears
Sami was a chick pea burger… no meat and came with pickled veggies and arugula and whipped feta. had it not been whipped this dominant gal would have no part of it… lol. the tartness of the pickled veggies played well with the sweetness of the chock pea burger. I didn’t really taste the arugula the whipped feta was delicious as was the soft fresh warmed onion roll. The jalapeño mac n cheese fell a little short. I’m on my third forkful and although it does have a slight kick from the jalapenos I didn’t think it was a good enough cheese to make this a great mac n cheese side. I asked the lady next to me how the turkey was she said great .I would omit the mac n cheese the next time ad if it’s not that great .its ok but not great. it’s chose the meatless burger and I thought it was really tasty. the pickles were really good. I got 2 different ipas the cigar city jai Lai and the wynwood fox imperial. out of the 2 the fox was smoother. I didn’t realize there was a check in offer on Unilocal so that really was a bonus. I wanted to try the churros here even after Clyde (diane s husband) said they weren’t crispy. I had to try them. Before my cheat treat I had to stop and see what the manager was eating. I even took a pic of it… it looked really good ir was the elanores special with sweet pot hash their gravy and jalapeño corn bread. it looked good. I chose the «papi» for my free dessert. I have to agree with Clyde they aren’t the dried out hard sticks you. imagine churros to be they are soft inside that it was extra cinnamony which I loved and the bananas and warm banana pudding was so delicious the manager saw I was enjoying them so much. .she had to ask if I liked them. I said I will diet tomorrow. as I watched Denver get their Butts handed to them in the 1^st quarter but managed to smear the patriots! I paid my bill tipped my server/​bartender and left happy. I did try an app and a side and a sami burger and 2 beers .it was a little pricey but i enjoyed everything so no complaints from me.

First, I wanted to say that the reputation is this place proceeds it. I’ve heard amazing things onto separate occasions from two separate people.
Greeted by a friendly hostess, I proceeded to order a to go order so I could take it home and eat it this evening and I really wish I would’ve stayed for dine — in service. It’s The most adorable lunchbox themed restaurant ever. Everything is chalkboard clad or metal clad-​totally up my street! I was in heaven.
Now the reason you’re reading this is to see what the food was like– and it was heavenly. Since I ordered to go, I opted for the sliders (listed first on the slider menu, didn’t catch the name). The serving comes with three decent sized sliders and good lord they were delectable. Texture-​wise they were perfect and all the different tastes that blended together in a single bite were mind blowing. Great ingredients used & awesome job choosing ingredients– I applaud whoever did this.
Overall a must try if you’re into burgers.

Tucker Duke’s was having a special consisting of a Tucker Duke burger for $ 5.00. Diane and I both ordered one cooked medium well at the suggestion of the server. She said it would arrive a little pink in the middle as if it were cooked medium. She was right. They were delicious, prepared just the way I like, with the Tucker Duke sauce and deep fried onion rings not overdone. I don’t like too many onions, this was just perfect. It also comes with lettuce and tomatoes, cheese and a tasty bun stacked high. It is a terrific combination that Tucker Duke’s won’t change to suit the customer. I had an ice cold Coors Light which went down great with the burger! I loved my simple easy lunch with Diane. For dessert, we split two churros with banana pudding. It was just fabulous!

Tucker Dukes.
Haven’t heard of it? I had, but mostly in Unilocal and hipster circles (those 2 circles have been known to Venn Diagram a beanie hat or two).
Why the word of mouth, is obvious when you walk in.
A group of us wandered in today for what we hoped would be as good as the word.
The scene was great. Packed house inside and out. The people working were awesome and there was some good feeds on the TV’s at the beer bar. They serve wine as well but as we got seats at the bar it was obvious they had the now popular array of micro brews that are necessary to be a beer snob stop.
We ended up trying a few different beers, along with a wild appetizer that was fatback, WRAPPED in bacon! Wow.
We followed with a few of the most popular burgers. All are incredible. Not just some fancy bun but a truly killer burger that will beat your expectations. The awards at the end of the bar show what they can do when local competitions go down.
Be sure to stop in. There could be a line. If so, creep up the friendly bar and sample some taps while you wait.

The reason I am writing this review today (aside from it is long overdue) is that I am going back to Tucker Duke’s tonight, and I wanted my first impression of the place to be my review. I will update the review accordingly after my visit tonight.
THE PLACE
Is a very trendy, modern, hipster kind of look. The bar is an «S» or double-​L shape. This is where I sat when I came. I like to see at the bar the first time to watch what is going on.
There are a few tables inside and a few tables outside. In general, the place is pretty busy and was crowded when I went.
THE FOOD
I went for their signature burger The Tucker Duke. The burger was HUGE. I had no idea how I was going to stuff it into my mouth. Then I thought of Guy Fieri and how he mashes the burgers down, hunches over and bites. Good call, Guy, that works! The burger was really really good. Which is probably why I ate the whole thing.
Also picked up some fried pickles. They were good and extremely hot. Nothing like being scalded by hot pickle juice.
We also got tater tots. Nice and crispy.
Also, a turkey club sandwich (for my daughter). She was only able to finish half, because it was so big.
They had a couple of IPAs on tap (Yay!). So I had a Goose Island and my local fav Hop Gun.
Somehow my daughter talked me into getting 2 desserts to share. So we got the Nutella Brownie and the Abner’s «S’Mores». She said the Nutella Brownie was the best dessert she ever had.
THE STAFF
Friendly and helpful. Not too talkative, because she was running around behind the bar. But she did suggest I try The Tucker Duke since it was my first time, and that was a good call.
SUMMARY
I will be back soon. In fact, I will be there in about 9 hrs from now.

I’ve been here several times now. I absolutely LOVE this place. A word of caution – bring your appetite – the burgers are huge! OK, this location sits on the west side of Powerline, just south of SW 10^th, in a little strip mall. It’s smallish, and does become packed. If you don’t get there before each crowd hits at mealtime, prepare to wait for a bit.
It’s pet-​friendly. Bring your well-​behaved pooches, because we did for brunch after a K9 Walk. The staff was really great about it. They have so many amazing burgers that you have to try something different every time you visit. The Sami is my favorite. It’s a chickpea burger with pickled veggies, cilantro and feta. Did I mention how much I love this burger? Yeah, I love it that much.
The Frank & Bobbert comes up in a very close second place. I thought that I might not like it because I’ve never really given horseradish a chance, but it was delicious. This has bacon, cheddar cheese, horseradish sour cream, tater tots, scallions, lettuce, and tomato. It might fall apart as you try to eat it. I recommend cutting it in half or even into quarters. The other burgers are good, but I like these the best. The Fido and Tucker Duke burgers are great, but the Tucker Duke burger is ginormous. It reminds me of how painfully inaccurate my eyes are when it comes to determining the size of my stomach and how much I can fit into it. It’s OK, I’ll just have to remember to wear my fat pants for future visits.
The PB&J Bön-​Bons are mouthwatering. I don’t like milk though, which is served with it. Nacho Tots and Fried Pickles are tasty. Tater tots are one of my favorite (if you’re going to be bad, it might as well be worth it!!) foods to eat. I have to admit that sometimes I’m a creature of habit, so when I find something I like, I will order it again and again. The bon-​bons and tater tots are something I could order every time and still enjoy.
They have several beers on tap, plus a decent selection of bottled/​canned beer and wine. Mimosas are popular at brunch. The service is always excellent. I haven’t had a bad experience yet. The servers are always friendly and on top of things. This is an excellent place to come to to get your grub on. Check them out if you’re in the area!

Tucker Dukes is one of my favorite places to grab a burger and a beer. I have been several times for lunch, dinner and even brunch (twice, lol). Deerfield really needed a restaurant like this if you ask me and judging by the popularity of the place others agree too. One of my favorite aspects about TD is how pet friendly they are. I came with a large group for brunch one day and we had several dogs with us and they greeted us with a smile.
I have tried several items off of the menu and everything has been amazing. You absolutely cannot go wrong with their burgers and the brunch menu is great as well. Here is a list of a few things I have had…
Nacho Tots — Order these, trust me! Tater-​tots covered in cheese, pulled pork, sour cream & salsa! YUM!
Mini-​Corn Dogs — I liked them and the banana ketchup is really good.
Fido burger — Really good burger with American & cheddar cheese topped with crispy onions. I added bacon because well bacon is awesome! Lol
The Tucker Duke Burger — GET THIS! Warning this burger is HUGE! I love it because it has these giant fried onion rings piled high on top of the burger. So so good!
Chicken & Waffles (brunch item) — The waffles actually made this dish for me. The chicken was ok but the waffles were the best! You could taste they were homemade buttermilk waffles with every bite. They were covered in whip cream and served with a side of fresh fruit and syrup. I would easily order this again.
Also worth mentioning they offer $ 15 unlimited mimosas for brunch. The service is always top notch. I have always had a friendly server. Especially the day we had a large party for brunch and 4 plus dogs lol! That is always appreciated since some places aren’t so pet friendly. If you like great food and a cold brew this is the place to go!

I was driving south from West Palm Beach with some friends and we wanted to stop for lunch somewhere we hadn’t been yet. Tucker Duke’s was on our must try list so we decided to stop. The restaurant is located in a strip mall; but, easy to find. It’s small but they fit in lots of tables (both inside and out) and a bar area. They were pretty busy on a Sunday afternoon but we ended up getting the last three spots at the bar. The interior is cute. They had a shelf with framed photos of everyone’s dogs, which was adorable.
We decided to start with the Nacho Tots. The menu states that drunk people love these and I can see why. They are a large portion of tots piled with pulled pork, cheese sauce, sour cream, salsa, and cilantro. So good and big enough portion for a few people to share. There are also kalamata olives on them that aren’t mentioned in the description. We thought they were beans at first. The brinyness is the perfect complement to all the other flavors. I see myself ordering these every time I come here.
They were still serving brunch and our waitress suggested the Randy (chicken schnitzel, 2 sunny eggs, roasted peppers, arugula, shaved parmesan) but I had to get a burger for my first time here. I decided to go all in and get the Tucker Duke. It’s a big burger topped with fried onions rings, American cheese, tucker sauce, lettuce, and tomato on an onion roll. There are no modifications-​for anyone-​so don’t bother asking. You really don’t want to change anything about this burger anyway, it’s delicious. Flavorful and juicy and HUGE. You’ll need to remove the onion rings and smush the burger to eat it though. The tucker sauce is delicious. I could have used more of that stuff to dip the onion rings in. My only recommendation would be to toast the bun. I love a nice warm bun on my burger.
If you check in on Unilocal you get a free dessert! We decided on the Nutella Brownies. You get two fudge brownies topped with whipped cream and placed on a bed of nutella. They are super fudgy and really rich. I wouldn’t have minded having the brownies served warm also but they were still yummy.
They have a really good beer selection, both on tap and bottled. I had a UFO Big Squeeze Shandy. Nice and citrusy with notes of grapefruit and orange. Good beer for a hot summer day.
Servers were great. We were seated right in front of the kitchen and were asking questions as food came out. They answered everything without acting like we were an annoyance. Can’t wait to come back and try more of the food. Maybe get the Frank & Bobbert so I can have my tots and burger all at the same time.

8÷9÷2015− I have missed 2 opportunities to come here and I was not happy. So, when my friends and I were looking for a place to eat in the area, it was an easy choice. I mean have you seen their post on Instagram??? Those yummy burgers, we just had to.
Located in small plaza (not where I thought they’d be in), the parking was great. We were greeted right away. They were pretty busy and the hostess asked if we would mind seating at the bar. Mind it? We encourage it! I love seeing people hustle and the open kitchen was great.
So many brunch selections, but if you come to Tucker Dukes and do not get a burger… then you did not eat at Tucker Dukes. We ordered the Nacho Tots, pulled pork, cheese sauce, sour cream, salsa, cilantro ($ 11) This was a big enough portion for 3, maybe 4. The pulled pork was delicious but those calamata olives (we thought they were black beans) topped it off with the right flavor. I ordered the Bash’s Steak House Burger, roasted mushrooms, house made steak sauce, Munster cheese, caramelized onions ($ 9). This monstrous burger arrived and I was ready. When I picked it up, I was immediately disappointed. Rule #1, WARM THE BUN. The bun was cold, not room temperature… cold. The flavors were not my favorite. The sauce was very sweet. The meat was lacking some flavor. I must be back to try another of their burgers.
We ended the meal with Nutella Brownies. Again, cold brownies and a smudge of Nutella on the plate. These would have been better warm. They were hard to eat. But as my friend said, «they are fudgy.» If you love chocolate, this is your dessert. Just ask them to warm them up and add MORE NUTELLA!!!
Our server was nice, the kitchen was nonstop, everyone seemed to work well together, and there was fluidity to the restaurant. We loved the pictures of the dogs on the corner. They have a great selection of craft beers on draft, bottles and cans. And also wine.
