I have been to tuckers marketplace many times over the last 15 years. I used to dislike the food When I was there tonight I thought that they had many of the same options that they used to & had improved on many things. The make your own pasta was so DELICIOUS I couldn't stop talking about it. Also loved the fired pizza it was great My kids loved all the food too. The dessert they had less options but what they had was GOOD Overall I say this is IMPROVED over the old tuckers & I would want to go back

We dined at the new Tuckers recently & all four meals were enjoyed so we disagree with negative comments made mostly by previous clients! We notice many improvements even made since then & note others noticed them too! Like most restaurants since covid have challenges locating experienced staff & supplies given inflation & transportation strikes it is even more of a challenge to open a new establishment . Indeed the newer version has improved upon the former older version of Tuckers.We strongly suggest you revisit & enjoy the new Tuckers!! Jim, Betty & Linda

Was excited to return to our old haunt to find a shell of what it used to be. We went on a Thursday - start of tourist season - VERY little selection (many food stations were bare/empty). Food was average with very few proteins available. Pizza oven was not open or available. The salad bar was scant with few options. The desserts tasted like Costco foods & the pudding tasted like the kind you buy for kids lunches. Everything, while well seasoned, felt processed. Very disappointed in the food when comparing to the old marketplace. Then there is the place. Dishes were dirty with food bits still on them - including cutlery that was wrapped for use at our table. Made me wonder how clean the kitchen really was. One of the two washrooms had failing locks & hubby had two people walk in on him while in there. When he brought it up, the response? Well just use the other one, it locks? Really? FFS. The other one? Filthy. Blood & feces obvious on bowl & rim, no paper towels, disgusting. Looked like it hadn't been seen maintenance for a while. Service was friendly but slow & understaffed. This place is no longer the place we frequented prior to COVID. It was sad, overpriced, & my kids were sad that one of their fave places to eat is now gone. We would visit several times a season. This repeat customer is lost forever & would NEVER recommend you go here. There are other great restaurants downtown. This ain't one of them anymore. Overpriced as well. Family of 5? $200 for a really sub-par meal. RIP Tuckers.

My family went to tuckers for dinner on June 25 at 5:30 My granddaughter got uncooked chicken & she lost her appetite. the rice & beans was very bland. Most serving dishes were almost empty & not much to choose from. No mashed potatoes only fries(they were very good). The roast beef was good. I was totally disgusted with the Buffett this time. The plates in the buffet section were dirty. The dessert section was not to appetizing. We did get my granddaughters so called meal free & a 35% discount off on the other 3 meals. Our server & chef were very pleasant & helpful. Thankyou Sebastian I don't think We will be back. It was one of our favourite eating spots Thankyou

Saw that Tucker's Marketplace had re-opened. My wife & I love the place & was sad when they closed due to covid. I think they've done a great job at re-opening & wanted to lend my support. The food was great... & good variety... salads, Chinese, Italian. The roast beef was delish. & I couldn't resist the desserts... my only complaint is that they have them as the first thing you see so you want to start there...

As many other reviewers have said, this was a VERY disappointing dining experience for myself & the 2 people that came with me. I convinced them to come with me as Tucker's was good back in the day. They are now back in Ottawa & it was totally disgusting. EVERYTHING was cold. Roast beef was very salty. Server could not answer one question we asked. Limited items. The butter bowl for the buns has ONE knife in it that ALL the customers use. In this day & age --- how gross is that. ZERO gluten-free options in the dessert bar. & did I mention everything was cold?? I spoke to the Manager before we left & he "explained" that they know about the temperature issues & that it's an on-going issue. Really?? You know it's bad, yet you keep taking people's money?? Unlike previous reviewers, we were NOT offered a discount or a comp meal --- however, we were asked "to not let this experience scare us from trying them again". REALLY ?? A MANAGER told us this. Unbelievable. STAY AWAY from this place. There is a reason the place was practically empty at 6 PM on a nice sunny Saturday afternoon.

I attempted to visit this location once I heard in the media that it was resurrected. I made my way to the Market only to realize they had moved to a new location. I made my way to the Market Square (across from Irving Rivers) & called for directions. The staff weren't trained in EWSN thus I wasn't to navigate my landing. I eventually gave & went to The Clock tower. Based on the previous review I am glad I never made it.

Some years ago, I enjoyed coming here, & so arriving back to the province today I brought my wife here for dinner, & I am besides myself with how terrible the food was. I am floored, actually. Although the roast beef was good, the Yorkshire pudding was dense & cold, hard & cake-like (I couldn’t eat it, actually, & love Yorkshire), the carrots were unbuttered & totally unseasoned, & the corn was chewy. Then, I tried the rice pilaf which would have been okay had it not been over-salted by about x3, which made it quite awful. Then, I get a salad from the salad bar & the croutons are clearly not fresh, but even *stale*. In addition, in the past there were many more buffet items, the items did not look appetizing at all, but would you believe that this $25-per-person buffet had *crispy onion topping* as a buffet item? Unbelievable. We also ordered a long island iced tea that wasn’t made correctly as it was like a fizzy pop & not like a brewed tea. I was so astonished that on leaving, I told the manager all this, that I used to eat there & that this tonight truly deserved a refund, as almost every item was really poorly prepared, & he said, “Well, we would like you to come back. You can come back & try us again.” Really? I mean why would you offer someone this when they just finished telling you how each item was terribly prepared, & after they told you that you used to be a fan? It’s not like a few items were bad, but it was all cheap & insulting. So we paid $63 in total for all-you-can-eat food prepared by people who could care less. I will never go to a Mother Tuckers (Ottawa) again. Save your money. If you once liked it, like me, it is not the same at all so you best go elsewhere.
