I've been coming here for a very long time well as long as I've been working at Erlanger. I specially love when they have the nurses appreciation day even though I'm not a nurse I'm still appreciated by the wonderful restaurant. Over the years though the portions have gotten smaller but the food still taste amazing. I love the Decour and the family feel. I would definitely recommend it especially breakfast. It was the only place in town that will be filled with scrubs early in the morning because they offer happy hour to healthcare workers that work night shift. read more

Okay, first, get the piggy Mac but substitute the pulled pork with brisket! Holy hell it's delicious. The cider on tap is perfect. Wife had the chicken fried chicken which blew her away. Waitress was super groovy too. Wish we had room to try that chocolate dessert thing. Maybe next time we're in Chattanooga. P. S. They do a military discount & parking is free in Chattanooga on Sundays! read more

The main course I had was really good. I had the fried brownie, with ice cream for dessert. I was not to impressed with that one. The waitress I had seemed very courteous at first when i needed new silver wa. Due to the set at the table wrapped in a napkin looked like someone used it, and put it under the bed for a month. After she brought me some wrapped plastic utensils. She brought out the food, and just disappeared. I saw her at other tables , and she just forgot about my table. When she finally got back to my table after 30 minutes, and the place was not packed. I just gave her my card without even seeing the bill. I was fearful she would take even longer if she would have tried to bring the bill back. I paid, and left. read more

Came in here based on a recommendation from our Uber driver (and because it was next door from the museum we went to). Not really a big fan of BBQ, but the pulled pork sliders were so good! The sauce you can put on it (self serve bottle) was delicious! Sweet and no heat. Perfect sized portion. My husband really enjoyed the BLT and the service was excellent. Definitely recommend! read more

Everything was great. Food was amazing. Service was good as well. Great location to the aquarium as well. read more

Coffee is weak. I had eggs over medium and they were literally cold. Not room temp....they were cold.

The food came out hot and fresh, it was really amazing! I %100 recommend getting the country fried steak! The service was really good our waiter was really nice and friendly! The whole restaurant is decorated really nice! I love the old style country music playing in the back ground! Did have to wait for a while and side dishes were a little salty but it all evened out. Didn't get to catch a picture of the food as soon as it came out I dove in Another plus is that it is really close to the Aquarium next door! read more

Service was great, love the laid back atmosphere. If you're planning on coming I'd highly recommend reservations unless you have time to wait. The fried chicken is to die for. read more

Food and service was okay. Went for lunch during our trip to the aquarium. Wife and I wanted to try the Farm (BBQ Plate with a little of everything) but they did not have any ribs. You can't be a BBQ spot and not have ribs. The dishes we did get were just ok. The Music City Chicken (Nashville Hot?) was not spicy at all. They use a dry seasoning instead of the sauce. Couldn't even taste it. Not worth the 30 minute wait for a table. read more

We really enjoyed our experience here! My partner got the meatloaf, which he said was really solid, and I got the pulled pork. The pork was not too fatty and had a nice flavor. There were even some little charred end pieces that made it feel like it had actually been smoked for real. The sauces they serve are definitely on the sweeter side, but they are still tasty. Our server (I want to say Matt? He was also a bartender) was friendly and prompt. Live music was cool to hear! Would definitely come back on a future visit to Chattanooga. read more

This place is right next to the aquarium and serves real good southern food and bbq. I had pulled pork, sweet potato fries, and skillet Mac and cheese. The highlights were the Mac and cheese (so gooey and a little crispy) and their spicy bbq sauce was very good. Perfect amount of heat. Also they give you a little pancake that tastes like cornbread. Thought that was a nice touch. I'd definitely recommend if you're looking for a lunch place after the aquarium. read more

I love the location in Nashville and this place didn't disappoint We got the fried tomato BLT which was pretty good and I got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich which was really good I would order the chicken again but they have lots and lots of good items on the menu read more

Stopped for breakfast on way out of town. A pretty basic experience in a way that there were no surprises. I ordered egg white omlette and it took a while to come out, after which the waitress told me the kitchen made it with whole eggs but she noticed and had them redo. At least the waitress was attentive and quickly remedied the issue. My friend ordered the pancake and bourbon apple fried chicken and the chicken seemed a bit greasy and overcooked. The pancakes were surprisingly light and fluffy, but be forewarned, the bourbon sauce is pretty sweet so you may want to ask it be served on the side so you can control. The waitress was super friendly and overall it was a nice way to leave Chattanooga. read more

Came here the other night and the food was delicious. I got the mac n cheese with pork in it and it was soooo yummy. Definitely recommend this dish. The server was great, asking us if we wanted to go waters. They had a band that was about to play as we were leaving, so it's nice to see that there was live music! The only downfall of this restaurant is that it was almost $12 to park in front of the restaurant. I would definitely suggest parking somewhere else and walking. A car next to mine got a ticket violation. Don't risk it! read more

The food was great! The service was super! The place was busy but everything was running smoothly! Who knew "A Meat + 3" could be so delicious?! read more

We considered going out for Thanksgiving dinner and considered Cracker Barrel, but my in-laws wanted to go to Golden Corral. Heck no, so we decided to try Puckett's offering for our party of 4 to enjoy a sit-down meal downtown. Worst food experience in many years in Chattanooga. Puckett's was not prepared for this event in Chattanooga and if they offered the same quality in Franklin or Nashville, they would never hear the end of it. Food was very substandard, portions were pathetic, service was poor, and the restaurant space is worn. Puckett's management needs to look at what they did in Chattanooga for the 2023 Thanksgiving Meal and never do this again. Horrible experience and we paid nearly $200 for about $30 worth of food. At the end of our meal, I was regretting not going to the feed trough at Golden Corral! read more

Setting is nice. Inside is country and comfy! Ordered a spinach salad that was ok. Hubby ordered nachos that were very good. Portion size isn't large but ok. I sound underwhelmed, and I was about my salad. But our waitress, Mackenzie was adorable and attentive and the music by Josey Clay was excellent! read more

Our Portabello Mushroom Burger had a skin as tough as leather. It actually couldn't be chewed. On the plus side, they have a great selection of Micro-Brews and our waitress, Lexi, was super friendly and took good care of us. read more

I really enjoyed my visit here. We came for a late lunch during the week and it was pretty busy but we got a table in under 15 minutes. I tried the appetizer nachos which were delicious and the piggy Mac tastes as amazing as it looks. I have no complaints and the staff were great especially Josiah! Oh and be sure to try their blackberry tea, very tasty. read more

SERVICE is EXCELLENT at this location. Of course I was here on a Monday after a stop to the aquarium when no one else was around. The jalapeño corn bread was absolutely scrumptious!! I had a salad and that was it. Water to drink. Can't really write much about the food but the place is CLEAN and the bathrooms were so cool!!!! read more

First time visiting Chattanooga as we moved to TN last month and decided to take the kids to the Tennessee Aquarium. We didn't realize it was two buildings and decided to get lunch at Puckett's in-between them as it's right there. We had such an amazing experience. Our waitress, Trinity, gave great service, funny, and made us feel like family. My wife had the Chicken Fried Chicken and I had the Brisket Cheesesteak, but you couldn't tell as there was not a crumb left behind. Almost ordered one for the ride home. Our kids both got coloring menus and got to tape them to the wall. They were so excited and proud of the coloring they did and that now everyone gets to see them. They both enjoyed their meals and asked if we could go back for dinner. As an HR professional in the Hospitality industry, take it from me, you want to go here! read more

Had the opportunity to stop by here Friday afternoon before the lookouts BB game. Had dinner. High points - bones rib app- glazed the fried adding a crispyness to the smoky flavor. I had the Southern Fried Chicken and my better half gad the brisket. Chicken was excellent, crispy and juicy. Brisket was good too. We tried 2 of their signature drinks- Paloma was good, the Moscow mule sucked, definitely a piss pour mix. Staff was very good. Price not bad for a very touristy area. read more

I went here for my bday dinner with my man. I was all dressed up and it was a lovely experience. The only seating I seen was at tables. I didn't see any booths and they do have a bar. The atmosphere was nice and the waiter was prompt and friendly. They also told us about half price appetizers until 6 or 7 on the Wednesday we came ask they might do this deal every night.overall a nice experience. P.s. sorry for the blurry pics they are screenshots from a video read more

Perfect spot for breakfast before aquarium visit. The moment we came in, the first thing we noticed was the vintage decor: very chic! Our waiter was also the bartender, but he took such great care of us one would have thought we were his only table. Excellent service! The food was so delicious! The portions were perfect, flavor on point. The apple jacks pancakes were divine! And the prices were surprisingly reasonable for the location. This place is a must visit for anyone going to the aquarium! read more

This was my family's first time and it was absolutely the best! Probably the best restaurant food I can remember having. I couldn't decide between the smoked meatloaf and the country fried steak. My sister got the steak, so I got the meatloaf. Both were amazing!!! Our server was top notch, fast and friendly. I told my husband we might have to drive from metro Atlanta to eat here occasionally. Worth the trip and an overnight hotel stay. read more

Food decent but the wait to get it was NOT!! We waited 28 minutes to receive our breakfast. Either the wait staff didn't remember to put our order in or they need more help in the kitchen. I totally understand 15 minutes but anything past the 20 minutes mark is very unacceptable, especially when we have toddlers and asked for their food to be brought out first. read more

I walked in at 8:20 and the kitchen had mostly closed. I get it. It looked like a really slow night and I've worked in enough restaurants to remember shutting f things down early. That being said, Tony the bartender came to greet me at the door and told me he was sorry but it was closing down except for the bar. When I asked about food he said they could still make what I wanted, the piggy mac, and sure enough they made it for me and had it out in record time. Not only was it delicious but I'm impressed at how they went out of their way to accommodate me. Great food and great service. Cheers read more

We wanted to like Puckett's, but expected it to be more unique. It is similar to a Cracker Barrel with a small stage. Parking was difficult; we were there around 1:30 on a Tuesday. Our server was informative and nice. We had the fried chicken club, which was OK, and the smoked meatloaf, which did not have much smoked flavor. read more

Honestly not as good as I thought it would be. They have a nice staff that is always helpful and attentive. The food is okay but, just not what was expected. It would not be my first recommendation for BBQ. Everything was good except when it came to the food. read more

Great service, excellent customer service. Love the breakfast buffet. Relaxing atmosphere for the entire family.

First time at Puckett's and I will definitely be back!! We started with fried pimento cheese bites and let me tell you that combo with strawberry pepper jelly is the bomb. I ordered the catfish with collard greens and fries and it was phenomenal...the crunch on that catfish was the best ever and it never got soggy from laying on the plate and the collards were so good...I wouldn't recommend the fries. My friend got the chicken fried chicken with loaded mashed potatoes and skillet Mac and cheese. Omg so good!!! read more

We headed to Puckett's after leaving another non friendly establishment. We came in for a family breakfast, we were sat right away. I don't remember our waiters name but he was exceptionally friendly. I had the southern breakfast plate with fried chicken, the chicken was awesome and so was the gravy, I would get that again. Others at our table had the Buffet and enjoyed it. Our youngest had a single chocolate chip pancake and she ate almost all of it. The pancakes off the menu are decent sized, on the Buffet they are the small ones. My husband ordered the Leipers Fork plate and really liked the sweet potato pancakes. Overall we enjoyed our visit and our server being so friendly is exactly what we look for in customer service. read more

Walking distance from the aquarium, which was very convenient for us. We were quoted a 25 minute wait but were seated in 10. I got their burger (added bacon) and fries which was fantastic! My husband got the BBQ platter and thought it was all great except for the brisket which was too chewy. My daughter got the grilled cheese which I snuck a bite of and it was delicious! The service was speedy and great! Bathrooms were extremely clean. The seating is a little crowded but I loved the look of it. read more
