  • Great for live music
  • Lively
  • Good for groups
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.

    Food was served exactly as ordered. All 6 plates came out at same time. Everyone liked what they ordered. Our server was considerate of the fact we had an event to attend and made sure we were on time. Drinks refilled in timely manner. We made reservations and were seated promptly upon arrival. Very nice experience.

    We consistently have good experiences here. Karen served us and she was friendly, attentive at all the appropriate times, and helpful in menu choices. Food was great with generous portions. We brought guests, who also enjoyed the experience. The live music was a tad loud at the beginning, but once the volume was lowered was very enjoyable- great voice and variety of songs.

    Dear happydiner, Thank you so much for your kind words and for bringing your guests to join us! We're thrilled to hear that Carin took great care of you and helped make your experience special. It’s also great to know you enjoyed the generous portions and the food! 😊 We appreciate the feedback on the live music, and we’re glad the volume adjustment improved the experience for everyone. We hope to see you again soon for more good times, great food, and fantastic music! Warm regards, Olivia May Front of House Manager Puckett's Columbia

    The band that played from 7-9 was a lot of fun. The service was excellent. It was hard to talk but to be expected. The food was varied and excellent.
