  • Lively
  • Great for live music
  • Neighbourhood gem
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... nothing too fancy, but everything good. It's where the locals go for real food, real people and real fun.

We love the chicken fried chicken, Nashville hot chicken sandwich, and, of course, the southern fried chicken. There is plenty of food, so we recommend you consider sharing a plate. Plus, it will save you room for their delicious desserts, especially their Cobbler of the Day. We also highly recommend the Fried Green Tomato appetizer - YUM! Our only complaints with the Nashville location are parking (good luck) and noise (this restaurant is VERY loud). Otherwise, you can't go wrong with the food or drinks!
