The Puckett’s roots go way back to the 1950s, and a little grocery store in the village of Leiper’s Fork, Tenn. Ever since then, we’ve been focused on providing friends new and old with great food and Southern hospitality. When it comes down to it, Puckett’s is a community kitchen, with live pickin’ performances just a few feet from your table. Authentic comfort food—barbecue smoked slow ‘n’ low over cherry wood, the home-cooked sides, even a few upscale dishes—is what Puckett’s aims for you to remember! Our philosophy is simple: Real Food, Real People, Real Fun.

    The food was very good and the service was excellent. My only complaint was the smell of the restaurant. The smoke smell was so intense. It gave me an immediate headache. Even the air was smoke filled from the barbecue. I’m assuming. For that reason I couldn’t wait to leave. Other than that, it was a good experience.

    Hi Rebecca, It’s wonderful to know that the food and service met your expectations! However, the intense smoke smell is concerning, and we sincerely apologize for the discomfort it caused. Well, that didn’t go how we hoped! Please know that we will use your feedback to help us continue to improve our service and food quality. Our goal is to provide delicious food in a friendly, welcoming environment, and we’re disappointed that we didn’t deliver that for you today. Hopefully, we’ll get a chance to try again in the near future. Thank You, Puckett's Restaurant - Downtown Murfreesboro

    It had been years since we visited Puckett’s and decided to make a last minute reservation while at the holiday event on the square. We arrived promptly at 7:15 for the reservation and were immediately seated and drink orders taken which was great. By the time the server came back we were ready to order - within the first 10 minutes of us being there. Our orders were pretty basic, 2 burgers, a pulled pork sandwich and a turkey plate. We were patiently waiting for our food as others around us were seated, ordered and got food while we still waited. Twice our server told us she was “checking on the food” and never came back to update. Finally, our food came out 45 minutes after ordering. It was clear the food had just been sitting under a warmer, the plates were hot but the food was lukewarm. Fries over done, pulled pork and turkey were dry, and the tops of the buns were hard. They had also messed up one of the sides for one of the burgers so had to wait on that to be fixed. After waiting that long and being hungry, we weren’t going to send it back but had to drown the meats in bbq sauce to even remotely enjoy it. The one highlight of the night was the fantastic band that was playing, but definitely won’t be back anytime soon for food after that experience.

    We got there and knew there was a stage but did not know there would be a band. We ordered in and walked the band. The band appeared to be a bunch of amateurs. The person doing their soundboard needed a lesson in how to adjust the reverb and the gain as it was extremely high and it made everything sound twangy. It was also extremely loud to the point we could not talk amongst ourselves across the table and had resort to texting each other. In top of that our food took an hour to get to us and when we got it, it was apparent that it had been sitting in the window for quite some time. My mashed potatoes were cold, broccoli had no seasoning, but the meatloaf was fine. My daughter’s chicken strips were very over cooked and inedible. We will not be going back to this establishment. We have been there multiple times before and was always a good experience. But last night we would have been better off eating from a food truck that was set up around the square for a music event they were having than to have eaten there.

    I got the chicken tenders and they were chewy and the fries were not even warm. Also the entire time the AC unit was dripping on us and nothing was done about it after they were informed.
