With locations in the historic districts of Downtown Franklin, Nashville, Columbia, Chattanooga, Murfreesboro and on the Parkway in Pigeon Forge, 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, Puckett’s has been focused on providing friends new and old with great food and Southern hospitality — and six restaurants later, that aim still rings true.
Andy Marshall envisioned Puckett’s to be more like a community kitchen, with live pickin’ performances just a few feet from your table. He wanted authentic comfort food — barbecue smoked slow ‘n' low over cherry wood, the home-cooked sides, even a few upscale dishes — to be what his guests remembered, years after sitting at his table. Not much has changed since he started the formal dinner and music program more than 15 years ago.”
