UPDATE….
I don’t typical Change my opinion of a place but after spending 40 minutes of wait time when we were told 15…. not good…….I will stand by saying the food is good…….but after the last service we had..not sure we will be back, actually, we will NOT BE BACK.
I know a number of my friends and family members have found this gem! The Tuckaway Tavern and Butchery is located at 58 Route 27 in Raymond NH. (Phone 603-244-2431). If you have not found your way to the Tavern, you are missing out! They are open 7 days a week and have won many awards for their steak and burgers, including awards from the Phantom Gourmet! Jim and I went over on an early Friday afternoon and they were already busy! The decor is a country farmhouse type of look and a very relaxed type of atmosphere that both Jim and I liked. We were seated right away, greeted by our waitress with menu’s and drinks that followed right away!
Let’s talk about that menu! It’s a pretty big menu with lots of salads and salad toppers such as chicken, popcorn chicken, shrimp, steak and salmon to just name a few! Every category has plenty to choose from with the steaks and burgers being the most popular. We did not order them, but I can see why they are so sought after…can you just picture the two pigs and a cow burger, pulled BBQ pork, bacon and cheddar..WOW! But if that’s not your thing maybe the big and sloppy burger is…a sloppy joe burger with beer cheese fondue…whaaaaaat? Sounds crazy good!!
The side dishes… seafood and of course the amazingsteaks have the same amazing variety. Some of the side dishes include coleslaw, chickpea salad, fries, onion rings and how about some mac and cheese?!
Steaks! I don’t have to say much more about them. The awards they have won do all the talking, but just in case you are wondering they have lots of steaks, steak tips, bison tips and various marinades! But let’s not forget those baby back ribs and chicken pot pie or maybe a seafood pot pie is your thing? You can get all of that!
Are you wondering what we ordered yet? I was not very hungry at the time we were there, so I had the Bangin Shrimp from the appetizer menu ($9.00). This is gulf shrimp fried with a slightly spicy, but sweet sauce. This was really delicious and perfectly fried! I would order this any day of the week!
Jim had a bowl of lobster chowder that I also had a few tastes of and we both agreed it was excellent…full, rich flavor with plenty of lobster and potatoes. I know I will be ordering my own bowl next time! ($6.50).
Jim also ordered the seafood salad ($15.00). This was a large bowl filled with warm mussels, gulf shrimp, balsamic vinaigrette, spinach, onion and tomatoes topped with feta cheese. Jim really liked this, although there was a lot of broth with this dish… great to soak up with some crusty bread! Needless to say we had an excellent lunch and look forward to many more lunch and dinners! We did not order dessert as we were full and would be traveling that afternoon. If you’re still hungry they have coffee and donuts or a couple of delicious sounding sundae’s. They have a hot fudge sundae but how about a s’more sundae!
No matter what you order you will be completely satisfied, but if you want to take some home that’s easy too! They have the butchery right there where you can take home many of the steaks, burgers, chicken and sausages to cook or grill at your house! They have a huge array for food, frozen food, rubs and marinades to take home. I know I will be bringing a cooler with me next time so I can have all that delicious food at home!
