GET…THE…MEATLOAF…
My god that meatloaf was amazing. I ordered 3 different meals based on their suggestions. The Hot Chicken Sandwich, the pulled pork with Mac N cheese, and the Meatloaf. The sandwich was amazing and a clear contender. It wasn’t too spicy which was great. The pulled pork was pretty typical and the sauce served at the table was good. But let’s talk about that meatloaf for a minute. First off, it’s not a typical meatloaf. This thing is made with their pork and brisket. It’s then ground up with the usual ingredients, then it’s smoked to add more incredible flavor, before finally hitting the grill to add perfect grill marks and traps all that flavor in. Listen, I eat a lot but I’ve dreamed about this meatloaf ever since. If I could give awards out, this thing would win “Best of Decade” and it’s only 2022. To the creator of it, high five and congrats on both creativity and flavor.
O.K., this review is a little late. :I My wife and I actually visited on 10/8/2021. We have visited a couple other times and love the atmosphere--and really love the town. This visit occurred after we had attended a show at The Bluebird Cafe. We ordered coffee for each--and we split the dessert. The coffee was hot, and the dessert ( cinnamon pastry) was excellent. Our server (Doris) provided the recommendation--and great service. The music was enjoyable, as usual.
Puckett's is a unique restaurant with southern American fare and a fun atmosphere. Several different types of food to choose from including ribs, steak, burgers, grilled chicken, barbecue, and more. The food was excellent. Our server was great. They are known to be busy so expect to wait if you go on Friday night or the weekend. They also have live music from time to time. Brianna Alomar was performing live while we were there which was a nice touch (she's a great singer, by the way). We ordered fried green beans as an appetizer and they were great!
Such a fun experience! The smoked pulled pork was so good among their bbq sauces, and the house-brewed Puckett's signature sweat tea was to die for. I need to order that tea and have it shipped to me! Be careful... It's addicting!
The food was hands down so good. Good home-cooked feel. We were quoted 25-35 minutes but ended up waiting over an hour and our server was friendly. Being on the road for 10 hours and having to wait that long was a little disappointing but food made up for it.
Tasty southern food and southern hospitality! Did a late lunch and they got us right in. The brisket nachos were killer and all the sides. A little run down but worth the experience! I’d love to go back for breakfast and/or when they have live music. It was intriguing to walk around and check out all the decor and old antiques.

Excellent food and service in downtown Franklin. Convenient street and free parking deck across the street. My smoked meatloaf, seasoned mashed potatoes, green beans and corn bread was exceptionally tasty for such a common sounding plate of food. I can see why this place is so highly rated. Getting seating during mealtime can be a challenge and a long wait.
Great service. Delicious food. The bacon on my BLT was perfection. Yummy fries. Famous BBQ sauce. We left with sauce and rub. It can be hard to find parking. We drove around town for a bit and it was just a regular Monday morning.
