Tucker’s

Updated Review for Tucker’s – Nashua, NH I’ve always appreciated Tucker’s for their atmosphere, service, and commitment to fresh food. I had initially written a completely positive review because I’ve had good experiences in the past. However, I feel obligated to update my review to reflect a recent visit where I left feeling disappointed and, honestly, hurt. As someone with severe, medically documented food allergies—including life-threatening ones—I always take great care when ordering. On this visit, I clearly explained my allergies and requested my meal to be made as safely as possible, even offering suggestions such as using a separate pan or dish. Unfortunately, the manager came to my table and explained they could not accommodate me due to cross-contamination concerns, and that they could not take anyone off the line to prepare something separately. I was told this decision came from upper management, and that special arrangements could not be made for someone like myself. That phrasing alone made me feel different—as if my needs were a burden. I didn’t come in demanding anything unreasonable. I came in with humility, understanding the limitations of a kitchen, but hoping to be met with some flexibility and care. At one point, I was told that all they could offer me was lettuce. I replied honestly: “I’m not a rabbit—I need protein.” Eventually, after mentioning that I often write reviews, I was approached again and offered a poached egg on gluten-free toast with mashed avocado and pickled onions. While I appreciated the gesture and the repeated apologies, it didn’t undo the sting of being made to feel like my health concerns were an inconvenience. This experience reminded me how difficult dining out can be for those with serious allergies. I don’t want special treatment—I want basic compassion and safety. That day, I didn’t feel either until I pushed. I’m not writing this out of anger. I’m writing this out of truth. My original review was glowing, but full transparency matters. I hope this helps raise awareness and encourages more thoughtful, inclusive practices in the future.

My mom and I stopped here for breakfast before heading back home. We’ve never heard of Tuckers so didn’t really know what to expect, but we were blown away. Food was absolutely delicious! I have a gluten sensitivity, so I always get a little anxious trying new places, but there were so many options for me and our waitress seemed knowledgeable! My mom and I will definitely be back when we come for our annual trip to New Hampshire! PS- the marshmallow butter is something I will be dreaming about until next year.

We visit Tuckers frequently, food, service and atmosphere is excellent. Coffee is always good and they use local farms and vendors for their ingredients. I ordered the blueberry coffee cake…. Grilled… so good. When it’s on the menu I order it. The blueberry muffins grilled are another favorite. Menu has a lot of options for food allergies as well. Gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options.
