4/5 Stars

Tucker's is in an "urban" part of town, yet the in-restaurant patrons were all descendants of Caucasia. Neon's is in a similar neighborhood and also attract this same demographic; however, their patron demographic can be explained by their music (classic rock, which is kryptonite to the uhh urban crowd).  My point is, I don't have a good explanation for why Tucker's, which is in a predominantly African-American neighborhood, has only white patrons. It doesn't really matter; I just like to have a reason for everything, and if you have one, send it my way.

More important than crowd color is, of course, food flavor. I can only vouch for the French Toast and the Turkey Sausage, as those are the only dishes my mouth tasted. Both were delicious and cheap (French Toast = $5.99, Turkey Sausage = $2.50). Keep in mind that this price range doesn't buy you quality ingredients (Pure Maple Syrup, Ketchup w/o High Fructose Corn Syrup, etc); it does buy, though, a satisfying brunch.

You may also be interested to know that our party of 2 arrived at noon on a Saturday and were able to sit immediately. But we got the last open booth, so that may have been lucky.

My favorite part was seeing that Mr. and Mrs. Tucker (the owners) were doing the cooking themselves. It was like seeing Steve Jobs behind the Apple Genius Bar, except better.
