The Mother Tucker

So needing some food quick I decided to order from Tucker's. This time I decided to go with a cheese burger, but not just any burger, a Mother Tucker. Tucker's hamburgers are usually 1/2 pounders, but this one was a full pound. Normally I don't like eating like that, but I needed a lot of food.

The burger was delicious. I'm not sure how they season it, but it works. I would say it rivals Huey's as best burger in Memphis. It was like an old fashioned, grilled burger. It was delightful.

For sides you have four options: fries, seasoned fries, chips, or potato salad. I went with the seasoned fries. Hands down without a doubt these were the best seasoned fries I have ever had. They were awesome. Not sure how they do it, but man, it's good.

For this great meal I paid just over $10. A little high, but worth it.

Though I was thoroughly pleased with my meal, I did encounter somethings that irked me. The first was the cook time. I placed my order before the evening rush (approximately 4pm) and it took them 25 minutes to make. I was pretty hungry and was hoping to eat quickly, but instead had to wait around. It's worth the wait, but you need to make sure you call well before you're hungry.

I recommend this place for it's burgers. Definitely better than their pizza.

Tucker's

I was feeling the need for some pizza last night and didn't feel like going over to my regular place on Highland. So I headed around the corner from my apartment to Tuckers. It's a straight up take out restaurant. The only difference is their menu. They honestly have just about anything: steaks, seafood, sub sandwiches, pizza, pasta and a lot more. Their prices are pretty reasonable as well, about $9-10 for a nice portion of whatever.

I went for their Meaty pizza. It was good, but no Juicy Jim's. I think they will be my back up pizza place. I'm going to try their food again, but so far it's just good, nothing fantastic. That being said I believe that it's a great place. It's in Midtown, open till 2am, reasonably priced, has good food and is just a general cool place. It's just that I've been spoiled on pizza.
