We eat at Puckett's every time we visit Franklin, which is every year. Had breakfast our first morning and was by far the best we had the entire trip. Came back for dinner the next night for the music. Fell in love with Mary Lou!! Will follow her on social media just like we do Puckett's. Till next time...♥️

We celebrate New Year's Eve at Puckett's nearly every year for the past 13 years! We really enjoy the neighborhood feel and lively atmosphere. But we missed the usual New Year's party hats, horns etc. this year! The new menu items are great. Y'all weren't as busy this year and our waiter didn't stop by often or refill waters. Overall we had a lovely night. Of course Brothers Maven are fantastic, the real deal and we felt so fortunate to see them....

Loved our night at Puckets. Our server, Brian was incredible! He was on top of our orders, always on top of refilling our drinks, noticed whenever we needed anything. He was friendly yet professional! Give him a raise! A keeper for sure!
