Puckett's Restaurant

Not one of the meats had any smokey flavor and were dry. I ‘m sure it’s all baked. No smoke rings on the brisket, stringy pieces of pulled pork, dry turkey that was probably heated on a grill top, and sausage heated on one side but skin side was raw. The chicken was so over baked even the dark meat was dry. Baked beans were blah. How do you screw up baked beans? This place was filthy. The silverware was dirty and I asked for a clean set for myself and daughter. The next set was just as dirty so our waitress threw plastic ware on the table saying it all comes from the same dishwasher. Server was extremely rude. At one point she threw plates on our table for a shared starter and it was so loud even she was taken aback. Every question we had for her she seemed to take as a personal assault. The person who seated us never said a word to us. He later blocked my way leaving while sweeping the floor. Really?, during a lunch? Can you say… sanitation classes may be in order here. The rest of the staff were also standing around in the back gossiping it up. So, bad food, terrible service, poor sanitation. Put the X on that door.

Just walked in without checking it out first because it looked crowded. We were not disappointed! Fantastic service at the bar. We asked to sit there to watch the football game and the bartender gladly accommodated us. Check out the menu on line as they have a big menu (they serve breakfast until 11a). Huge portions. Very reasonable prices. The Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich was delicious. Not too spicy. Not too sweet. Nicely breaded, crispy but still tender. Coleslaw was good. Large portion of thin fries. The Piggy Mac was amazing. Lots of pulled pork covered with the creamiest macaroni and cheese, topped with two tasty little pancake type biscuits.

First Dinner in Nashville and we chose Puckett's. We wanted the experience of local foods from a known spot. I chose whole Farm for meal for the both of us. I would call this the "Kit & Kaboodle" This came with smoked turkey breast, smoked sausage, half chicken, beed brisket, cherry wood smoked pulled pork, served with smoked bake beans and collard greens. We added a side of red beans, rice and sausage. She chose a smoked whiskey bloody Mary with a fried chicken drumstick! She really enjoyed that drink. I want to say the smoke sausage was great, and the smoked Turkey breast was really good. All food was really good..I think the half chicken needed to be cooked longer. We arrived late and were only ones ordering food in restaurant. For the place being empty, it did take awhile before a server showed up. We were close to leaving. However once the server arrived, then the service was good.

Got here right after breakfast was ending (which looked good btw) and got some lunch. The pimento cheese balls were delicious and unique. I got the daily meat and 3 sides special. I opened for the pulled pork but chicken was an option. If I understand it correctly it changes daily. Sides were green beans and fries. They are more liberal with salt in the south but I personally like it. Didnt find it overwhelming. All in all i enjoyed my meal, atmosphere, prices, and service.

Experience could've been better if our server Victoria wasn't horrendous. The food was excellent but service was very poor. Ordered two appetizers that came out with our food because our server brought out the wrong appetizers first from another order. Upon checkout never was asked for to-go containers so I had to ask for them myself. Would definitely go back for the food and would have to have a different server. Definitely disappointed.
