Founded in the fifties, people have been congregating at Puckett"s for over half a century. We've updated a bit, added some recipes from our family and friends, and thrown in some great live music. But it's still Puckett's Grocery... nothing too fancy, but everything good. It's where the locals go for real food, real people and real fun.

    The food was subpar; the mashed potatoes were cold, and it took forever for the food to come out. It wasn’t all that busy, either. And, all three varieties of dessert were beyond awful. The mushroom brisket soup was cold, thick, and over-salted. Not worth it for what I paid. The server was apologetic and nice.

    The restaurant was very nice and the setting was really cool. The waitstaff was extremely shorthand as there were only two servers, minus the bartender and hostess. With that being said, you couldn’t tell at all. Both waitresses alternated the sitting parties and greeted everyone and made sure we had everything and anything we needed!

    This was a disappointing meal from a restaurant we were excited to go to. We ordered The Whole Farm so we could try some of everything. The principal issue was that the ribs and brisket were overcooked, dry and tough. The brisket was actually hard to chew. The sides, collard greens and baked beans, were fine. The chicken and pulled pork were good, but the pork really benefited from the addition of the barbecue sauce provided on the table. There is definitely better barbecue in Nashville.

    Puckett's 5th & ChurchResponded on November 14, 2023

    Hello Sulie, We sincerely apologize for your disappointing experience. We appreciate your detailed feedback on The Whole Farm order. We're addressing the overcooking issue to ensure better quality in our ribs and brisket. We're pleased you enjoyed the chicken and pulled pork, and we'll work on enhancing the overall consistency. Thank you for bringing this to our attention; we're committed to delivering a better dining experience in the future. Puckett's

    Was here 7 years ago and had a better experience then. They had signs that they were working with a reduced staff, so food was slow to come out. Service staff did best they could under the circumstances. The food was mediocre. Pulled pork was good, but brisket was dry. I had remembered the fried brownie sundae as terrific, but this was mediocre as well. Couldn’t find the candied bacon on top. Overall, a letdown from previous time.

    I have eaten here several times and went tonight to treat some of my work associates. Live music was good and food was awesome as it always has been for me. The waitress was great as well. The only negative I experienced this time was with the check in and seating. I made a reservation for 7 PM. We got there about 10 minutes early. I checked in and was told by the greeter that he would text me when the table was ready but he should get me in on time. At 7:10 PM I went back to him and asked what the status was because I saw several open tables that could seat us. He acted like he couldn’t remember or find my reservation. He then seated us immediately at one of the tables that was open.

    The food was classic southern pub fare, our server was great...though a bit overwhelmed. The singer w guitar and an Amp was way too loud for a dining venue - and she kept apologizing for not being able to play the guitar very well (and she was right). Way too loud.
