Small place, big character, small menu, big flavors. Maybe 10 tables and a 6-seat bar. Lively music on the speakers. simple foods cooked properly and presented beautifully. Asian inspired - curry, sesame oil, seared tuna on a bed of asparagus and edamame, shrimp lomein, a local beef sate, fish tacos, fried chicken, sesame noodles, coleslaw unlike any other, we had an appetizer of steamed mussels in a coconut, curry, cilantro sauce. A variety of beers and plenty of non-alcoholic drinks. Yum. The seating and service can be slow and the place fills up quickly, but it is well worth a visit. Check their website for hours. Entrees run $10-18

"Tuckerbox has been owned and operated by Jackie and Vural Oktay of White River Junction since November 2013. Jackie, Vural, and Hasan (Vural's brother) Oktay also own and operate Istanbul Kebab House in Essex Junction, VT since May 2012. Vural and Hasan were born and raised in Istanbul Turkey; Jackie was born and raised in Jay, Vermont. This hard working team is excited to bring authentic Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine to the Upper Valley with their full dinner service which has now started. Jackie & Vural have been in love with the Tuckerbox since they moved to White River 3 years ago, when the chance came up to own the restaurant they jumped on it. What they love most about the Tuckerbox is the real community feeling and energy inside and the fact that Tuckerbox is a gatherplace for locals to drink great coffee and espresso, eat great food, be together with one another.
