  • Great for live music
  • Charming
  • 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.

    No explanation for how the experience would work for a holiday meal and were started with salad with no option for a dressing any of us wanted. For six, we were served 3 scoops of dressing, 3 scoops of sweet potato, and so on. No serving utensils. Were not offered anything more than the meager food we received so had no clue we could get more. Server was polite, but you could tell she wasn’t experienced and was easily thrown off by questions. Way too much money for what we got. Go to Puckett’s for their regular menu and avoid the holiday offerings.

    We had a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with soup, salad, and a wide selection of meats and vegetables, all you can eat! Wonderful Southern cooking and friendly, attentive service. Delicious desserts and an assortment of drinks rounded out a perfect meal.

    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.
