This is our first time in Nashville and very happy we chose to come to Puckett’s. The staff here are very friendly, the atmosphere is welcoming and the food is delicious! There are also nights they have live music and tonight they did and the duo were great! Yvonne was our waitress tonight for Valentines Day and she was awesome! She has such great energy and her customer service is wonderful. She had great recommendations for the menu and made sure to check in even though she was busy! She helped to make our experience here even better. If you’ve never been, please come and dine here. You will not regret it! Also, make sure you sit in Yvonne’s section!
Great place for dinner. Nice mix of locals and tourists. Our server was Kelcy, did an amazing job with service and food recommendations. 4 people 4 different meals. All excellent. I had the hot fried chicken. Really one of the best chicken dinners I have had. Crispy, tender and hot.
Nice corner restaurant just up the hill from Broadway. Had Shrimp and grits plus BBQ plate of turkey. The Coffee Milk Stout beer was excellent for $7 served in a mason jar. Old country atmosphere and still had a nice ambience. Tasty food and wished we had gotten a dessert.
My friends were raving how great Pucketts was in Nashville so I had to try it with them! It's a very cool spot and it smells so good from the outside (that smoking bbq smell). We went there for breakfast before hitting up the rest of Broadway for the day. We had the Throwback Early Riser...honestly the best you'll ever get anywhere! $4.50 for eggs, sausage or bacon, a biscuit and just $3 more if you wanted to add home fries, grits or fruit? Uhm yes please! I was so full and happy! The ambiance was pretty cool also. I wish I could've experienced dinner there as well but I guess I'll just have to come back for that!
I came here after missing the opportunity a couple of years ago. So worth the wait! Just a little walk from downtown if you’re staying in one of the local hotels. It has a nice country store atmosphere, staff is very friendly and food was excellent! Mikayla was working the bar when I sat down and she was very pleasant and was on top of her game! Definitely a must hit on your trip to Nashville!
I’m no barbecue connoisseur, but the ribs here are some of the best I’ve ever had. The meat truly fell off the bone, and the dry rub flavor was absolutely incredible. I would highly recommend Puckett's to anyone looking for a killer meal in Nashville!
Great food. Good portions. Awesome staff. Showed up on. Sunday evening around 8:45pm and had no wait, seated and ordered in 5 minutes with a house beer in hand. The Chicken Fried Chicken was just what that beer wanted! Got the extra piece of chicken and didn't regret the choice. Don't forget to order the cobbler of the day. Today was apple and it had that perfect made from scratch texture and taste goodness. Not the kind of Mom goodness. But that grandma or great granny old tiney awesomeness. Do not skip a stop at Puckett's.
The atmosphere was lively, the staff was friendly, and the food was so tender and flavorful. Don't be fooled by the attached picture: I took it at 0.6x zoom and the barbecue plate I got was a much wider oval, and not round like it looks. The fried brownie I got for dessert almost knocked me out and it would have been worth it. I'm glad it was recommended to me. Also, I'm not sure who was performing the live music on July 7, 2026 but I thought she was great!
First time in Charlestown Tn, The food was great. I had southern fried chicken! Even the green beans were yummy. And the berry tea , I had 3 and one to go!!! Our waitress Lindsay was like finding an old friend. She was the cherry on top ! Definitely would go back!!!
We recently visited Nashville and had to stop by Puckett’s for breakfast! We went early on a Saturday morning, and the restaurant filled up very quickly. We ordered The Little Joe and the Farmboy Breakfast Sandwich. Both were fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The service was excellent and made our experience even better. Definitely a spot we’d visit again!
