Puckett's Downtown Nashville

Neat spot in Nashville, great place for a family. The food was pretty good and service was welcoming. We had lunch so it was too early for live music but I bet it ties the whole experience together. The sweet tea was absolutely perfect, just the right sweet and what you?d expect from Nashville. We also got a vanilla milkshake with peach cobbler in- it was SO good! I?d eat here again, it was a great choice after just landing. Thanks!

Never a bad meal at Puckett?s! I just missed the breakfast time cut off of 11 AM but enjoyed lunch! I had the meat and 3 with the pulled pork special of the day. Wow! Lindsey provided awesome service, food was fantastic! Big portions., great price!????

WONDERFUL atmosphere and cool place. Our food though, was sub-par. And for what we got, way overpriced. BUT it was still good food. Smoked meatloaf was good, but didn?t live up to the hype. A tad too crunchy as well. Fried chicken (white meat) was not great; dry and chewy. Which was a big disappointment because the hype was BIG. Sweet tea was awesome. ????

I?ll cut to the chase on this one. The brisket was like boot leather and the ribs were like trying to bite bark off a tree branch. I can (barely) understand if I had been there on a Tuesday and this was Day 3 of heating up weekend leftovers, but this was a Saturday at dinner time rush. If I was in charge of sending those meats out to customers instead of looking at them and saying we?re all out and not serving them, I would resign because I clearly wouldn?t know what I was doing. It was incredibly disappointing. That being said, the skillet mac n cheese was the star of the show. Why it?s only a $5 add-on and not a dinner entree, I?ll never know. The barbecue sauce was amazing and made the brisket and ribs palatable, but that shouldn?t be its job. The chicken and pork was perfect, but shouldn?t have overshadowed the other meats like it did. The beans and collard greens had too much vinegar for my liking, but I?ll admit that?s a personal flavor preference and won?t knock them for that. The coleslaw tasted store-bought and was disappointing for sure. If you can?t make something better than the local grocery deli can make, why is it on your menu? The brisket nachos were actually really good despite the beef jerky they were passing off as brisket. Maybe my expectations for good BBQ in Nashville were too high, but I doubt it. Cool space, good ambiance, and great staff though, so you make your own call. For me? I see no need to go back nor will I recommend it to anyone.

I absolutely love Puckett's! This is the fourth location I've visited, and they have all been fantastic. I came here to eat with my cousin, and the interior is really lovely, filled with country art, a nice stage, and a selection of their signature rubs and sauces for sale. We enjoyed cold beer on tap, a delicious burger, and an amazing performance by the Dairy Daughters, which made for a wonderful dinner. Here's my rating breakdown: Great food +1 star; Great music +1 star; Excellent service +1 star; Cool interior +1 star; Great company +1 star. I will definitely be returning!
