Cold food, uncooked toast, over cooked sausage, like leather pucks, minimal service. Way too dark to enjoy your food. Excellent omelet!!!!! read more

The customer service is lacking at this location. We walked in aren't even greeted I had to ask if we should seat ourselves before the two girls sitting there actually acknowledged us. Then it took awhile before anyone came over to assist us at the table. Pricey for the item portions served. It's average bbq their sauce is good though recommend that. You can buy it in house and online. read more

Puckett's is one of our favorites in downtown Franklin. They have one of the best burgers and the vegetable plates are so good. The pimento cheese bites for appetizer are delicious and a treat with the pepper jelly. The atmosphere is great and we enjoy the outdoor dining as well. It has been one of our go to places for 20 years now. read more

The price was too high for the quality of the food we had. It wasn't a good value at all in my opinion.

Great food and service. I would make sure to stop if your nearby! The shrimp and grits are amazing and the peach cobbler was delicious! Cute interior, with some fun branded merchandise to take home. read more

Delicious southern style restaurant! The gumbo was hearty and rich, rice perfectly al dente. The hot Nashville chicken was perfectly seasoned, crunchy and juicy (with a little kick). Bbq pork was full of flavor and the sauces brought it to the next level. The charming general store ambiance combined with a cozy country kitchen vibe and sweet service made for a truly memorable meal. read more

I was in town visiting a friend and they raved about Puckett's. So had to try it. The reviews look spectacular! We went for a later lunch on Sunday and expected a long wait. Maybe it wasn't long because it was so cold outside. They sat us immediately and very quick to get our drink orders. I ordered the chicken fried chicken with green beans and mashed potatoes. They also include a corn bread/roll. Wasn't terribly impressed with that. They also put barely enough white gravy to cover 1/4 of the chicken. I had to ask for more and it still wasn't a ton. Maybe be a little more portion size on the gravy in the future. The chicken was really good though as was the mashed potatoes. We got two desserts to share. The bread pudding and cobbler of the day was peach. The bread pudding was DA BOMB! great taste and filling. The peach cobbler I could have left. Barely any peaches, too dry and the dough was way too thick and like cake consistency. I would come back but wouldn't order the cobblers again. read more

Chicken-fried chicken with the mashed potatoes and green beans is a fantastic choice. My daughter had the trout which I will definitely order next time. We also had some fried green beans that were delicious with a side of ranch. The best brownie dessert ever! The wait staff is top notch and very friendly. read more

Did not appreciate the lack of communication from Pucketts in trying to plan a birthday brunch for my daughter. Tried to call - told to email. Emailed -no response. Called back - said no problem come on in but call an hour before. Called an hour before - told they couldn't save us a table. waited forty minutes only to be told breakfast is over. The whole thing was a brunch. Would have definitely gone somewhere else Manager's attitude was indifferent Go somewhere else read more

Puckett's in Franklin is more about the experience than just the food--and that's not a bad thing. Was it the best burger I've ever had? No, but it was still tasty and satisfying enough to enjoy in such a fun setting. The ambiance is lively and inviting, with sports playing in the background and a warm, down-home vibe throughout. Service was great and fast! It's a great spot for a casual family outing or a relaxed lunch with friends. If you're in Franklin and want a laid-back place with good food and better atmosphere, Puckett's is worth the stop. read more

Food, music, and service. I always love the atmosphere at Franklin Pucketts. The wait was only 5 minutes, which was nice.

We drive the 100 miles to Nashville quite frequently but when we go to Nashville, we are usually racing to get to the airport on time. This trip, we had all the time in the world. Of course I searched on Yelp, where I found Puckett's Grocery and restaurant. It was only rated at 4 stars (I totally disagree!) but it sounded interesting. We took a short, easy 2 mile detour off I-65 towards Franklin and we were not disappointed. Puckett's takes reservations on OpenTable but there weren't any available this day. We were told it was a 30-45 minute wait but we were welcome to sit at the bar if there was space (there wasn't). There was very little room in the entranceway to wait so most people were out on the sidewalk either sitting at the cafe tables or just roaming up and down the block. Though we didn't venture away, we saw other guests coming back with bags from local shops. It was closer to the 45 minutes until we were seated at a high top in the corner. The table was a little weird - the table top hit me at chest level making eating a bit awkward. I'm not particularly tall - more average I guess - this could be a problem for shorter guests. We were almost immediately welcomed by our server. Because we had ample time to peruse the menu while waiting, we ordered immediately. We had our drinks a few minutes later. Our food took a bit longer than I expected but the restaurant was packed. It was definitely worth waiting for though. We ordered the BBQ plate, added smoked sausage and substituted skillet mac 'n cheese for baked beans. The pulled pork was melt in your mouth tender. The brisket was sliced thin and didn't really even need a knife to cut. The sausage was a little tougher to cut - real casings maybe, I'm not sure. The mac was creamy and cheesy and baked just right. I absolutely loved it. The sweet potato fries on the other hand were kind of meh. I definitely wouldn't pay the upcharge for them. The slaw was good but really, unremarkable. Neither of us cared for the corn cakes. Reading back through this, I can see how you may wonder why I rated this restaurant 5 stars. Let me tell you, the BBQ and mac were outright amazing. We split the plate and, between the two of us, didn't finish. We're not huge eaters and next time we would forgo the sausage. I'd also make sure to sub out the fries instead of the beans. I noticed everyone around us had fried chicken - definitely on my list to try next time. The dessert offerings looked delicious but there was no way another bite of anything would fit. In fact, this might be a common occurrence, I didn't see anyone with dessert. With tip, (we did order just water), our check was well under $30. Service was great and the restaurant was clean. There is free parking in a garage across the street and paid parking behind the restaurant. My next three trips to Nashville will be setting the autopilot straight toward the airport. One sunny day , we'll just have to drive up to explore Franklin and, of course, eat at Puckett's. read more

Good BBQ and good music by Olivia Faye! Friendly service. And Franklin TN is quite charming and decorated for the holidays.

Such a fun restaurant! The band was awesome and the food was the best we have had in Nashville so far. My husband had the chicken fried steak and my daughter had a burger. The service was not very hospitable so they lost a star. They had the bartender working our table and he was a bit overwhelmed i think. read more

Receptionist was very rude. Wanted to sit outside for a party of six. She said I asked a lady to move at a table so we could sit down, which I didn't. We went and ate at Edley's at the Factory. read more

Ate here while traveling. Had heard good things about the food. We were extremely disappointed. This is not good bbq. We waited an hour to get a table (party of 2). Our server acted like he couldn't be bothered to wait on us. We were excited to try the meat platter. We were very sad after getting it. We have tried MANY places for bbq and had high hopes for this place. We will not be back. read more

I used to love Pucketts. The food was good, and portion sizes plentiful. Sadly, this is not the same anymore. I went in at 5:30pm and was told that they would be out of pulled pork for an entire hour! I still wanted the Piggy Mac though so, like offered, I subbed it for brisket. What was served to me was not the Piggy Mac I remembered: The tiny skillet had the meat thrown on the bottom and the overcooked Mac and cheese slopped on the top of it. It didn't even fill the entire skillet which was way smaller than in the past. The old piggy Mac was baked in the skillet with delicious breadcrumbs on top. This didn't even have the breadcrumbs (like still described on the menu). Didn't even tasted as good either! The Mac and cheese was super overcooked and bland. For $16 the portion and quality was ridiculous! My friend's chicken fried chicken portion was incredibly small as well. It has been a while since I've been to Pucketts, but sadly, I will not be back. This place is very nostalgic for me so I'm sad to see it go down like this. read more

Southern meat and side restaurant like I grew up going to. Enjoyed the fried chicken, green beans, collards and mashed potatoes with gravy. All good and very filling. Service at bar was friendly and pretty attentive. Vibe is Cracker Barrel like with a lot of old stuff on walls and grocery and other goods available. I will return as I love this kind of food. Nothing fancy or special until you haven't had it in a while. read more

Food was wonderful, the music was great and fun. Always love visiting Puckett in Franklin!

So far, we patronized this location several times. It became a routine having a very nice and friendly service. The tables are spacious and it's a very convenient, if having a bigger party, not fighting where to put plates. Ambiance is nice and the noise level is pretty low. At the end of this review is the most important part "Food" so far everything we ate so far was delicious. Fried Southern Fried Chicken is always exceptional and safe item to go with. Last visit I ordered Portabella Burger with Sweet Potato Fries and enjoyed it. read more
