Tucked Away Craft Kitchen & Bar

I can't resist! What the Tuck?' How have I never been here?!

First, I love open air kitchens where you can see your food being made. Truly this is a Kraft kitchen. The place is packed. So small but quaint. Yes I was tempted just to lean a bit over and try out neighbors food...it would be an easy reach! They may never know!

Place reminds me of a bistro in Europe. It's not an AZ sized restaurant for sure. Hardly from the land of roads and huge trucks. Where did they ever get this place?

I guess good things come in small packages. The food is great!

We ordered the croquettes. Tonight's was mushroom, creamed corn and magic. No clue what was in it but I had to really control myself because I was seriously going to lick the bowl clean.

I figured how small the place is and the small kitchen and how packed it was, it would take some time for dinner to arrive. I ordered a side of mac. It had a bunch of chilis in it. Not for the kiddo palate! This is a creamy stove top mac not baked. It was delish. It held us over till entrees arrived. Meanwhile I kept leaning closer to our neighbors...their tacos looked awesome!

We ordered enchilada stack with fried eggs and shrimp and grits. Enchilada were sloppy and saucy. Yum! Shrimp and grits were a risk. Who orders seafood in Phx when you've never been to the place before! The shrimp were cooked perfectly. Just the right doneness. The grits tasted awesome. They were slightly thick for my taste but perfect for my wife. Yet I licked the bowl clean. Delish!

Summary of Tucked Away? What a little place that put out dishes with such huge flavor. The wait staff were great. The food took a little longer than I expected but I get it. I'm coming back!

Sad to hear this placed has closed because I loved coming here!

The chef is inventive and the menu was very creative. They had something for everybody here and as a vegetarian I was always able to find something yummy to eat.

Very bummed that this placed closed. It was our new favorite place and we'd bring all our friends here. Chef was amazing! Drinks were great. Services was awesome. I'm hoping they will re-open soon. I'm chomping at the bit for some vegetarian/pork belly (lol) fried rice. Miss you guys. We'll be waiting to see what they do. I think the chef has a food truck but it doesn't look like the same type of food, although I'm sure it's amazing. Haven't checked it out yet.

Came here for the first time with some friends and I will be back! Small space, so you can probably expect to have a little wait if you're coming on a popular day/time.

Started off with the Desert Flower drink. It might be too sweet for some people's taste, but I liked it. It was slightly effervescent, bright, and fruity.

I ended up getting the El Cubano Sandwich and I was happy with my choice! Honestly, the sandwich doesn't look like anything special, but the flavor was great. I'm actually not a very big fan of ham, but I liked the ham in the Cubano. The soft bread with the salty ham, soft pulled pork, freshness from the pickles, and slight nuttiness from the Swiss cheese balanced each other so well.

We also got the Asian Sticky Ribs. They were sticky as described! Sweet and flavorful.

I also wanted to try the Green Chili Mac and Cheese because the description said it was award winning. It was alright. It was good, but not spectacular. However, if I try it again, I'll try it with the brisket.

Good place and will be back!

Closed permanently.
Loved the place when open. Inventive chef, awesome menu, great staff and chill crowd. Was very sad to find it closed.
The message on the door indicated that the team is working on another concept. I'll be waiting to see what they come up with.
Again this formally awesome place is as CLOSED as I am sad.

Busy tucked away restaurant in the corner of a strip mall. Food and service were great!

We came here because of the menus posted on Yelp. The food looked great and we figured it would be a good place for lunch.

My heart was set on the Cuban but they didn't have it on the lunch menu :(. The fried Korean chicken looked good though and we got that, eggs Benedict, and a side of Mac n cheese.

The restaurant was busy so our food took a while to get to us, when it did, it wasn't hot or warm. We didn't complain though. The food was good and flavorful despite the temperature. The fried chicken sandwich was breaded and seasoned nicely with the Korean sauce. I thought the chicken was well cooked and the slaw had a nice texture with the chicken.

The brisket Benedict was tasty as well. I didn't have any issues with the Benedict itself. The breakfast potatoes were good yet soft and not crispy. The fries with the chicken were mostly hard and over fried.

The mac I was most excited about since it was noted as award winning. While I thought the flavor and cheesiness was pleasant, I didn't think it was the best Mac I've ever had.

I give this restaurant kudos for the passion they seem to have, the ambiance, and decor.

It really is tucked away in a corner. Cute Resto! Small but just right for the area.
I felt the food was delish and can't wait to try the other dishes. Prices aren't too bad, about $11-18 a plate.
This can be a date or bring the kids place. Good selection of drinks. My husband just had the house lager $5, he said that was good. We will come back again to try more dishes!
Total bill was about $55 (ex.tip) for Ribs appetizer /Korean Fried Chicken sandwhich/ Fried chicken and a beer.
It was a lot of good food for the price these days.

What an amazing find this amazing restaurant! My fiancée and I decided to give this place a try one weekend and we were so blown away with the food and service from Saad that we went back the following weekend with some family that was in town visiting.

Saad remembered us and took such great care of us and our family, the food was fantastic, the ambiance is great but Saad's service is what really elevated the experience for us.

I have now tried the Asian Sticky Ribs, Enchilada, Korean Fried chicken sandwich, shrimp taco special, the Cubano, Mac n cheese with brisket and my personal favorite the Chimichanga with brisket

If you're looking for delicious food, chill small restaurant vibes and amazing service - this is the spot.

We will absolutely be regulars here :)

Thank you Tucked Away staff and Saad

What an incredible dining experience!

We stopped by this spot the night before our flight out of Phoenix and if anything could convince me to move to AZ it'd be this place.

The vibe is funky and fun, the food is delicious and the staff is kind, friendly, funny and engaging. While we had one waitress who was excellent, what I loved most was how the entire staff worked together like a well oiled machine. Someone was constantly stopping by to fill our water, ask how our meal was and chat us up. What a hard working and efficient group of people!

When we made a compliment to Sean the manager his first response was "I'll let my team know. They're incredible and I could not do one single thing without them."

I'm so glad we spent our last night in AZ at this gem of a spot!
