This place delivers on every level--flavor, hospitality, and a sense of home you don't often find in a restaurant. The food is soulful and satisfying, the kind that reminds you of Sunday dinners and second helpings. Everything we tried was seasoned just right and served hot, fresh, and generously. You can taste the care in every bite. Service was just as memorable--warm, welcoming, and quick with a smile. Whether you're a regular or walking in for the first time, they make you feel like family. The vibe is relaxed and casual, perfect for a lunch break or an easy dinner with folks who appreciate good food done right. With a name like 3 Mothers, you expect heart--and they deliver it.

My go-to drink is the Dirty Hippie--it never disappoints. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

The ambiance…read moreis great but the tables and chairs could use some repair as every table we tried wobbled a lot. I did not take pictures of the inside as it is a very busy weekend here. First complaint is there is no guidance for people who are from out of town on how to order or where to go. I have been watching the out of town parents confused as well trying to figure this place out! The iPads set up to order are not sales leading or helpful. When we picked up our coffees is when we FOUND the full menus to read (AFTER we ordered). Not only did they lose sales but we did not see any meat options to add to our order! The lattes tried were a make your own and are better than Starbucks. I had the regular with sweetener (had to ask for a little more sweetener as you can not choose more than one of the same item) and prefer a light to no foam but it is not an option. The second option was the golden girl with honey and cinnamon. Good but different. The first food was the Susie Basic ($11 +$0.50 for strawberries) the crepe that is too thick for a traditional crepe, did not come filled with the strawberries or anything else it was just folded into quarters and topped with the equivalent of 4/5 whole strawberries and whipped cream on the side. The second food item was the French toasted waffle pancake ($15) this is a great concept but it was under cooked and doughy but more than enough food for a meal. It would have been better with a breakfast meat included! Over all the rating is a 3 because of service, the confusion, and the immediately asking for a tip when you order not knowing you really get no service before or after you get food! Even water is a self serve dispenser! It's a great place, different concept in food service. It wants fast food as far service but set up to be table service. After our food arrived we were directed to the silverware and napkins. No one checks on food quality or needs after you are served your food!

They have a great selection of lunch items to choose from. I ordered the red, white and blueberry salad with an Italian and turkey and cheese sandwich and the tortilla soup.

Date of Visit: July 1, 2026…read more After driving all day the previous day we were wanting a real good county breakfast. My wife told me she had just the place in mind and I've been there before too (City Cafe). But when we arrived we saw they were permanently closed, dang. I could taste it. Then the wife recommended Puckett's and they are just around the the corner, a short walk. As we walked up on the place I noticed the marque, retro. The inside was bit as well. We were quickly seated and drink orders taken. This was a weekday morning visit so not too busy. Looking over the menu, I may not have looked close enough, I decided on the "Build your own Omelette". Onions, tomatoes and pepper jack cheese. The wife ordered the B&G. I noticed I wasn't asked about my side? I wounded potatoes. Also rye bread with my omelette, hmmm. Our food arrived, all looked good. I saw my order came with what looked like frozen type of potatoes, perfect squares. I was expecting something home cooked, fried potatoes with burnt edges. Flavor. The wife's B&G looked great, two basques and potatoes as well. The omelette was good, plenty of everything and filled. The wife said here B&G was really good and she's a B&G expert. Over all, all was good just disappointed with the potatoes option and no rye toast. Perhaps they could consider fresh cut potatoes along with the frozen type. Also maybe offer some type of toast. Give the place try if your on the square. Peace.

However, my second visit today left a lot to be desired. I used the self-order kiosk to place a to-go order: two turkey and avocado sandwiches (which were supposed to come with Swiss cheese), two bags of chips, one soda, and a French dip with a fruit cup that I paid extra for. While the food was prepared quickly and the packaging was all sealed up and gave the impression that everything was correct, that unfortunately wasn't the case. Both turkey sandwiches were missing Swiss cheese, and the fruit cup that I paid extra for was nowhere to be found. At a total of $42.25, that's frustrating and disappointing. The sandwiches were okay, but given the cost with the mistakes, I doubt I'll be returning.

It's tucked at the end of a typical strip mall -- so you're not going there for the vibe. Inside, it's clean (which is always a plus), but a bit on the sterile side for my taste. Not the end of the world, just one man's perspective. Service: Super friendly and welcoming. Looked like just one person was running the show -- possibly the franchisee -- and he handled everything smoothly and with a smile. What really stood out was how many regulars he clearly knew by name. In this day and age, that's a rarity and such an important part of true hospitality. Food & Drinks: The food was very good. I had the Falafel Wrap, and the falafel itself was light, crispy, and well done. Overall, a solid job. To be candid -- did it blow me away? No. But it absolutely met every expectation I had, and I left completely satisfied. The menu and presentation felt a bit more standardized, which makes sense since they have other locations, but the quality was still there. I'd go back again without hesitation. Overall: A reliable, satisfying option for Greek food in Murfreesboro -- and definitely worth a try in my opinion.
