  • Neighbourhood gem
Founded in the fifties, people have been congregating at Puckett's for over half a century. We've updated a bit, added some recipes from our family and friends, and thrown in some great live music. But it's still Puckett's... nothing too fancy, but everything good. It's where the locals go for real food, real people and real fun.

    Made a reservation for Saturday morning at 10:30 based on the fact we figured it would be busy. It wasn’t busy at all but for some reason it took almost 10 minutes for our server to greet us after we were seated. The food was “ok” at best. Our server never came back to refill our drinks (coffee and water) or to see if everything came out ok since he wasn’t the person that served it. He had to be flagged down to get something additional. He was very pleasant and nice just not sure what was happening since he only appeared to have one other table. Hoping they were just having an off day but our food nor service lived up to the hype we heard.

    We went to Puckett’s for the live music with a 7:00 pm reservation. Unfortunately, the only song we heard was a sound check to I’ve Got a Girl Crush melody with revised lyrics about a sound check. Food was good. Service was excellent.

    Over all OK, but not as good as I expected based on reviews. Although they are known for BBQ, it was not that good. Chicken tasted good but dry. Turkey and brisket was not good. Pulled pork was OK. I would put it below avg for BBQ. Collard greens were bitter. Beans were good. Was not cheap but what I expected being close to Broadway. Server was very nice but service slow - obviously under staffed.

    We were during the last hour of service so some of our food was just warm at best. Also all but one of the desserts were gone. Our server was wonderful just got the feeling we were getting the scraps left from the day.
