Dinner after a Conference Call taken here from the airport and on my way back to San Antonio on a late flight. Wanted something substantial in the menu looked good. Have to say it is some of the best chicken fried chicken I've had in a long time! Good green beans and good mashed potatoes. I had to send back a cup of coffee, which was old but once I got a fresh cup it was really good. But the best part was the war peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream on it. Fantastic, even though it was not really cobbler... no crust! But still good. read more

My family and I had a longer than expected lay over so we need to get some food given it we as approaching dinner time. We chose this place because they had live music and open seating. Wife and I ordered immediately for the kids because they were super hungry; we figured we'd order the kids food and then take our time looking over the menu and yelp reviews. We gave up after 5 minutes of looking at the menu, reviews, and photos (posted on Yelp), we decided to pass on getting any food for ourselves and just let the kid enjoy their meals (Mac n cheese meal and Chicken tender meal). The Mac n cheese was inedible; my daughter is 6 and loves Mac n cheese; I thought she was being dramatic after she took one bite and said "yuck". My wife and I both tried the Mac n cheese and we both agreed with our daughter's assessment. The fries an were average (they were what you'd expect at a bar or little league snack shack. so both kids shared them. The musician was playing acoustic guitar in the corner. He was good so I walked over to give a tip ($10) and requested my daughter's favorite dolly parton song. He said "I'll figure something out" - I was confused by his response but went back to my table. We were sitting right in front of him and were there for about 45-minutes after the song request. He didn't play my daughter's song as it didn't fit aesthetic. My wife and I left starving. Both kids left wanting another meal. My daughter left said after not hearing her favorite song. I realize it's an airport but I still had higher expectations than what we experienced. read more

The things that stood out most: our fantastic server Kia. And the opportunity to hear live music while grabbing lunch at the (Music City) airport! Got the bbq platter (comes with bar-b-que, slaw, beans & sweet potato fries) and added a side of broccoli. Beans were warm and sweet. Bar-B-Que had good flavor. Fries were not hot but the A/C in the terminal today was strong. Good portions. They have two different bbq sauces table-side: Texas style & Memphis style. read more

I came to Puckett's for a quick bite before my Southwest flight back to Charleston. This restaurant is fairly central in the Southwest D terminal, right by my gate but not far from anyone's gate. Puckett's frequently has live music like some other venues in the Nashville airport. Food wise, I just had an order of sweet potato fries, so nothing fancy. The service was fast, which is exactly what you need at an airport because everyone has a plane to catch and isn't there to hang around all day (unless your flight is delayed). The food and check came quickly, and the fries were hot and delicious and drinks cold. Prices are in line with similar spots at the airport, as expected, but I felt like they were fair for the location, quality, and quantity of the food. read more

The best brisket I have ever tasted. I would fly back to this airport for a layover just to eat this brisket again. I feel like I ate too much because it was so good we ordered seconds. Amazing in every way. Excellent service too... HIGHLY recommend eating here if you have a layover. We walked the airport with 5 hours to kill. So glad we stopped here. Kiana was so sweet and did a fantastic job of making sure we had everything we needed. Also saw an old friend; Wayne... it was great to see you after all this time. Also, love the live music while we ate. 10/10 stars!! read more

The. Cheeseburger was good. The fries were not crispy but soggy. They had live music which was cool and created a relaxed environment. The customer service was terrible! The restaurant has an open concept so it's not clear where to go check in at a podium or grab an open table. I can understand it taking a few extra minutes to notice or be told someone is in your section. When the waitress came over I apologized for not knowing whether we should've went to the podium or just grabbed a seat. I asked for 3 menus and she brought a drink menu. Then she never bought over a food menu. She came back over and asked if we err ready to order but we had barely found a menu on another table. We ordered and when the food came out there was no asking if we needed anything else. She never came back to bring napkins. I had to go to the bar and grab a handful of napkins myself. I was flying through for a connecting flight and this was my first time in this airport and unfortunately the experience was ruined by someone not even doing the bare minimum. I will not be recommending this place to anyone I know flying through here unfortunately. read more

Based on other reviews, we must have been lucky. We had a layover before flying home with plenty of time (which was a good thing). We'd been to the place right across the hall from Pucketts the last time we had a layover there, and were disappointed. We'd heard that time that Pucketts was better. So, we tried it. The hostess seated us right by the musician, Joe West, who was great! For us, it should have been lunch, but it was only 10:30am in Nashville (we'd flown from Florida). We'd already had eggs. So, we found a smoked brisket hash on the menu, which felt like lunch. We split it, and it was perfect. In fact, it was very yummy with either of their BBQ sauces. I'm not an expert on their menu, but what we had was great! And so was the entertainment. The wait staff seemed rushed, but it was busy. One dropped a glass right behind me, but luckily, it didn't land on me! Still, we commented that the hash was the best meal we'd had since we left home. read more

Being in Nashville, you have inevitably eaten at a Pucketts around the metro area, so it only makes sense that they tossed one in the airport. This Pucketts is situated in the D Terminal and has a variety of the southern favorites you know and love from the brick and mortar locations. With that being said, keep in mind that this is an airport location, so quality is not as high as other locations. I have popped by this location a few times on my travels with the most recent being before an early morning flight. I was sat and served fairly quickly, and the waitress was friendly and helpful throughout the whole visit. I was after breakfast and ended up with the biscuits and gravy with a side of hashbrown casserole. The biscuits were hot and fluffy, gravy was hot and packed with sausage, but the casserole was cold and underwhelming. Ill avoid it on future visits. Sadly they had not made sweet tea for the morning, which would have paired perfectly, but it forced me to drink water, so I guess it was a win... Overall, solid 3.5 for this Pucketts location. Its a good spot for a quick and decent meal when at BNA. read more

Good food and service while on layover at BNA. We had the pulled pork platter and Cobb salad. The platter comes with sweet potato fries and baked beans, and is a good option for a late lunch. Service was timely, attentive, and respectful. This is a solid spot in Terminal D. read more

It's so bad. Like so so bad. Do not eat here unless you want food that is inedible. Ordered the fries, Mac and cheese and chicken tenders. Never again. Believe the reviews read more

Not sure what some of the negative reviews are about. I had decent service, and the food was good too. Some sweat tea with The Southern Platter - a biscuit, potatoes, and gravy with fried chicken and scrambled eggs. Yeah, it's an airport...but it is in Nashville so the ambiance includes live music too. If you have some time to kill before a flight this is really not a bad option. read more

I am so tired of monopoly restaurants in airports. Don't get me wrong. There are some stellar spots out there amongst the terminals in different cities. Those are just gems. This is the chaff that makes you enjoy those. The prices were loud and proud, but I was expecting that. The food was sub par quality which I was hoping to avoid. When they have a sit down spot in an airport and give you plastic wrapped utensils that are so cheap that the fork tines are like spaghetti, you know you are paying a lot for nothing. I had a wrap with fries. I should have just gotten protein at a newspaper stand. That wrap had the taste of hospital food without the care of my health. The fries were ok and ketchup makes it all more homogenous. The seating was terrible and the staff were overwhelmed. Management dragging in more dimes at other people's expense. Not a spot I will visit again during a Nashville layover. There's better spots in the airport. read more

I have a complaint on Scott the manager I was very shocked this morning when commentating an outstanding employee (Toni) he dismissed the remarks, and walked away...

I will not recommend this place . They ignored us when I told them to take my order . It was workers just standing there and not doing anything... I felt discriminated. Really bad experience read more

I saw there was a Pucketts and had to go! We were greeted and sat rat away. They were only serving breakfast, I wanted to try some appetizers, but was unable to, no biggie. My first cup of coffee was cold, I asked my husband if his was cold, his was piping hot. He took a sip of mine and said nope, we have to get you a fresh cup! We let our server know, she replaced it right away. Hot coffee was much better! I had the Clucker the biscuit was soft, fluffy, and flavorful! The chicken had the perfect amount of crunch! The pickles were amazing! The chipotle ranch is a perfect addition to the plucker! Jam packed full of flavor! My husband had the breakfast burrito. When he took his first bite he immediately said this is soooo good! It was served with salsa that was hot like fire and it had a little kick to it! Perfect for the burrito! We split the hash brown casserole. It was cheesy, hot, cooked with some love! Everything was delicious!! read more

7/272026 D4 Gate flight delayed after rushing from Evansville, IN to get to BNA airport...flight delayed notice on the way there. Get through security get to get considered The Southern looked at menu didn't see anything I wanted turn around a gentalenman is taping his finger on his menu. So I step over and look at this menu see more things I'm in the mood for...her directs me where to sit and said someone will be with you in less immediately. Sure enough before Ingot comfortable with in my chair I am acknowledged as asked if I want a drink and/order would like to order food. I say I just want the protein not al the starches she said I can do that for you in less then 8 minutes of Mr.Smith tapping on this menu inviting me over I was served with a drink and the protein only meat served hot and steaming to me and then Mr. Marquis Smith came back over to ask had I been attended to. I AINT BEEN UP this damn airport longer than 30 mins before this Pucketts spot @the terminal D made sure I didn't leave BNA being showing Nashvilles southern hospitality experience/l while rushing through to get back to NYC. Like I get it I live in the NYC area and all ...but this they type of experience that make you tell folks in you ever gotta go through BNA stop at this SPOT here at BMA if you want prompt service and quality food. Cause those pieces of brokers served was good without the sauce and didn't need any sides. Tender, juicy and on point fresh, yes indeed. This will be my designated BNA go to spot when passing through for here on out. They just get/got it! read more

Well... this was a choice! Coming back from a fun girl's trip, we found ourselves back at the airport was earlier than we needed to be so we decided to grab a bite to eat. Its hard to explain even how the experience went because it was all so confusing. We were seated and then waited quite some time to be greeted. Busy airport, fine, no problem. But when we finally WERE greeted... it must have been this poor man's first week serving. Our meals took extra long, like the kitchen forgot them (later sat people got their food before us). When we brought it up to him, we got a story about how the kitchen is having trouble. When the food finally came my Mac and cheese had the consistency of cement. The replacement Mac and cheese was so grainy it was inedible. Bith times, stories about the kitchen having trouble.. They also decided to have music playing on a speaker in the corner and called it "live music". All it did was add a whole lot of noise to an already noisy airport. In the future I would probably choose another restaurant in the terminal. ANY of the terminals... read more

Our server was horrible. Waited 10+ minutes to have someone come and take drink order. Then table came in next to us and had there food before we did. We brought this to Tiffany, the manager, and she was awesome! She listened to us and resolved to our satisfaction. She is the reason this rating is a 3 vs a 1. read more

I had an hour and a half layover so I was looking for a spot at the airport near gate D3 that I could sit at for awhile to enjoy good food and relax prior to departure. I've been to this Pucketts before and enjoyed my breakfast, the live music & ambience. This time I came for lunch and I was greeted right away by a friendly server who sat me. She immediately took my order and told me about their delicious bloody Mary's. Now, being from Wisconsin where we don't play with drinks of any kind, especially our bloody Mary's, I was happy to give it a try. It was good but I must say no chaser, no toppings besides a lime & a couple olives, I wasn't amazed by any stretch. I'm not faulting this restaurant as much as this could just be how bloodies are made here in TN. For lunch, I ordered the meat & 2 sides and while I waited I was thoroughly entertained by the bartender, named Chris, I believe, who changed hats/outfits at least 10 times in the hour. A construction outfit, firefighter, chicken hat and more, this guy clearly works hard for his $ and to make people laugh. I appreciate that as I watched him work the room while serving drinks. My server was very nice and my food came within 10 minutes. Food was good, not great. I ordered brisket with baked beans and sweet potato fries. Brisket didn't have much flavor to be honest which disappointing as I had the belief it would exceptional here in Nashville. So, will I be back? I'm not sure as I really need good quality food when traveling. I know I am at airport but I travel frequently and I know this restaurant can do better. The service is great, ambiance great and prices are reasonable so maybe read more

For some reason the grilled chicken sandwich was one of the most expensive options on the menu. Maybe because it was the only thing close to a healthy choice. I am not kidding when I say this was among the worst sandwiches I have eaten. Dry, cold, and flavorless chicken breast. Waitress was kind and they did comp the sandwich, but come on. Avoid. read more

I was seated and then no one came to take my order so I got up and waited to be seated again and ordered from person seating me. Food came quickly after that. Pulled pork sandwich was just that. Pulled pork on a bun - no pickles or anything else on the sandwich. Limited number of fries - more what we should eat but we want more. It was okay. One sweet tomato type sauce only. read more

I have had Pucketts on my list for a while. The opportunity arose while I was in the Nashville Airport on a layover. We were seated really quickly and greeted promptly. The sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! It's hard to find good sweet tea in an airport. We ordered fried pickles for an appetizer. The pickles were hot and breaded well. The sauce was a BBQ Chipotle Ranch that matched the pickles well. I came to Pucketts for BBQ and made a great choice with the BBQ platter. The portions were huge and I couldn't finish it all. The brisket looked over done but was surprisingly tender, smoky, and delicious. The pulled pork had a good smoked cherry wood flavor to it. There are 2 sauces: original and spicy. The original is very sweet like a Memphis style should be. The spicy really wasn't that spicy in my opinion but had more of a kick than the sweet. My sides included baked beans, slaw, and sweet potato fries. Baked beans were sweet with a little bit of pepper in it. The slaw was real sweet and creamy. Sweet potato fries were solid. I don't understand why Pucketts has a overall low rating but it's a solid four in my book. read more

I should have chose the restaurant across the way (get their old bay chips!) but this was right next to my gate. If you don't want to read the whole review to sum it up just go somewhere else. The hostess was rude and took a while to help me because she was talking with some of the other staff right in plain sight. The server was really nice and kind but she disappeared for a long time and it took a while to flag her down to get the check. The atmosphere was odd. I sat very close to where the live entertainment sets up. In this case it was a woman who was with a guitar (I don't remember her name) and she caused a big ruckus because her friend was there and there was a security issue and she kept saying loudly "I don't even want to be here". Not the best ambiance to eat a meal but it did provide some entertainment. The food was meh. I got the sweet tea (not good), I got the fried pickles (meh), and I got the 2 meat combo (brisket and pulled pork), and the slaw and sweet potato fries. Brisket was tender but that was the extent of what was good. The BBQ sauce was spicy and I wasn't a fan of that either. read more

My friend and I were traveling for a school trip/event. Earlier that morning, she had purchased a Chick-fil-A sandwich at the Ontario, CA airport and saved it for later when she got hungry. I was hungry as well, so we decided to sit down at Puckett's. The waitress was very kind and took our drink orders shortly after we were seated. About five minutes later, the manager seated another customer who had an outside coffee in her hand. Around that time, my friend began eating the sandwich she had purchased earlier while I was browsing the menu and looking at the drink options. The manager approached our table and very rudely told my friend to put her sandwich away. The way he addressed her felt extremely disrespectful. He spoke to her as though he were scolding a child, saying things like, "Put that away, you can't eat that here... I mean seriously?" His tone was condescending and unnecessary. At that point, I was still planning to order food, and my friend was also looking at menu options. It's also worth noting that this is an airport, where people often carry items they purchased elsewhere. While we understand that restaurants may have policies about outside food, there are much more professional and respectful ways to communicate those rules. In fact, the woman who had brought in the outside coffee looked at us afterward and said, "He's very cranky, isn't he? Sheesh." That interaction confirmed how uncomfortable the situation felt. Because of the way we were treated, we ultimately decided that spending our money there was not worth it. As adult women, we simply expected to be treated with basic respect and professionalism. We understand that businesses have rules, but the way those rules are communicated matters. In this case, the situation could have been handled in a much more courteous and professional manner. read more

Arrived after an early morning flight to find Pucketts. Our breakfasts had eggs, potatoes. Grits. Biscuts and gravy and fried chicken. Everyones food was delicious. The cinnamon roll, hamburgers and mac and cheese all looked good and will be our next pick when we fly thru here. I don't give 5 stars for airport food but this was an exception. Also they had a guitar player who was a 10. Joe West was a pleasure to listen to. read more

Our server was incredible. However the manager was atrocious. He stayed yelling at his employees the whole time we were eating. I ordered peach cobbler to go for my 5 year old. When we sat at our gate to eat it we found that it was not peach cobbler but some sort of soupy mix of brisket, Mac n cheese and what looked to be maybe mashed potatoes? Anyways I take it back and ask to have my peach cobbler. The manager can up and was super rude asking what I wanted. I responded with "my peach cobbler" he went to go get it and came back saying they were out. I was just there. I ordered and paid for peach cobbler. So when I asked for a refund he told me he needs my card. Then comes back and says he needs my receipt which I left with my husband. He wouldn't refund so instead I was left with eating my loss or ordering something else which I didn't want to do. But the kiddo wanted something so settled on ice cream. Terrible manager. I feel bad for the employees. read more
