What People Are Saying About Tuck Shop

The short menu at this tiny, no-frills restaurant stars Aussie specialties like pork sausage rolls and meat pies that come stuffed with your choice of beef, “chook” (chicken) or veggies. Order one with a side of crispy sautéed Brussels sprouts, or upside-down in a puddle of thick pea soup, and top off your meal with a vanilla slice (a traditional down under dessert that consists of frosted caked with layers of cream).

Way to go Tuck Shop
by EastieBeastie
This a very cute counter service restaurant with friendly employees. Note, theres seating for only a handful of people on stools. I went in a while ago for my first chook sanger (Australian chicken sandwich) and found it tasteless, I dont know if thats how its meant to be. But I was so glad I went back and got a sausage roll. It was absolutely amazing. Its a rare treat when a food really stands out like that. Go get one. Also note, if you're American and have never had vegemite before, you probably shouldnt. It is great that they have Australian beers though.
- Pros: sausage roll, Australian beer, cuteness, friendly service
- Cons: not a lot of seating
