    I went to Puckett's around 11:00 AM and asked the host for a table for two. She told us we had to wait about 15 minutes. While waiting, I started reading Yelp reviews and noticed many people complaining about long waits even when the restaurant wasn't busy. Unfortunately, that was exactly our experience. When we finally got inside, I saw only about 3 or 4 tables with customers, so it was surprising that we had to wait that long. Since we were already there, we decided to stay and order from the lunch menu. I ordered the daily special, pulled pork with three sides, and my son ordered macaroni with beef. The food came out pretty fast. It wasn't bad, but nothing special either. I do want to mention that our waitress was very kind and provided good service, which we appreciated. If we hadn't been asked to wait 15 minutes while the restaurant was mostly empty, I probably would have given this place 4 stars. Because of that first impression, I'm giving it 3 stars. Overall, it was okay, but I wasn't very impressed.

    Decent food, friendly service, and a nice atmosphere. Would consider it again. We didn't enjoy this visit as much as our Puckett's in Nashville visit. The pork was very fatty which was disappointing for two people who really prefer less fat. Daughter's Piggy Mac was very fatty and oily. I wonder if it was extra oily because of the multiple chunks of fat. The fried okra could've been more done. Reading the other reviews, order it extra crispy. The pork was delicious but I didn't realize how fatty it was until I was eating my wife's leftovers. Too much fat, seriously. The smoked brisket hamburger steak was good. Next time I'll get it with mashed potatoes instead of rice. Chicken fried chicken was delicious. If the $7.99 small salad is the same as the side salad then it is not worth it. Wanted the meatloaf and a deep fried brownie but they were out of both items early on a Saturday.

    Catfish

    Very mediocre. I ordered the catfish and it came with fries and mini pancakes. Catfish is a bit soggy and I ended up with really hard bones. The only reason I gave it three stars was because the piece of catfish was large. Fries are not seasoned well kinda seemed undercooked. I don't like pancakes so I didn't eat those.

    Smoked wings

    I have to update my previous review and unfortunately I now see why they have so many bad reviews. My first visit was great, food and service were both good but tonight I just ordered a side salad and 6 wings, it took over a half hour to get my food and the wings came without the sauce I ordered and were over cooked and dry. The salad was okay must have been sitting while they were cooking the wings because the lettuce seemed to be at room temperature. I hope they can get things fixed because when they get it right it is good. One other disappointment was they are a smokehouse/bbq restaurant and they only offer ribs as a special on a couple of days a week, this should be a staple of any decent bbq place....

    Skillet mac and cheese

    When we first walked up to the people at the front they just stared at us for awhile. It was very awkward. We ordered Meatloaf with skillet mac and cheese and fried okra Pulled pork sandwich with skillet mac and cheese and sweet potato fries. Only thing came out hot was the fries and okra. Everything else was barely warm. The skillet mac and cheese was just mac and cheese put in a skillet. It was nearly cold. With a weird seasoning on it. The sweet tea was good. Our waiter was very kind. The restaurant was clean. No changing table in restroom either. Its okay just a note of mention for mothers.

    They open at 7am for breakfast and their breakfast is AMAZING! Plenty of platters to choose from but my fave is the Kings French Toast!

    Is this the same Pucketts as the one in Franklin, Tenn?

    Yes, it is a franchise of the original in Franklin, TN. They also have one in Chattanooga and a few other places.

    Jack's Family Restaurant - Clearly advertises "make it a large for .79"

    Jack's Family Restaurant

    Driving through and stopped in to get a coffee and breakfast. The food was good and the service…read morewas excellent. I appreciate the clean bathroom too. Good place for a quick stop.

    So, this is my 4th time at this location. I am new to the area and tried them when they first…read moreopened and was happy with the food and the moderate prices. Each time I went, I got the same thing: the #1 Jack Combo. The menu states as clear as day "Upgrade to a large for .79 more" so each time I ordered I upgraded to a large. The previous visits were drive thru, this time however my wife and I ate inside. I told the girl behind the counter (Rebecca) my order. Everything was good but I could tell she must have been new because she seemed a little nervous. I told her I wanted to upgrade my order to a large for the .79 they advertise. When she was done taking my order, I asked her to repeat it back to me just to be sure it was right. It was perfect except she said a regular fry and a large drink. I told her I wanted to upgrade the fries and drink for the .79 cents as advertised on the menu. She got a little flustered and ended up getting a manager (Jordan) I told the manager I didn't understand the confusion, I just wanted to upgrade my combo for the .79 cents is states on the menu (I pointed to the giant menu where is says upgrade to a large for .79 cents) She says "to upgrade the fries it's .55 cents and to upgrade the drink it's .40 cents" Well, that's .95 cents when I went to school. I asked her where the .79 cents came into effect. She said, "well they must not have updated the menu yet". WHAT???? The stores been open for a month or so. How many customers have the stolen from with the bait and switch technique? I know .16 cents isn't a lot but it's the principle. If they sell 100 "upgrades" per day, that an additional $16 they make taking advantage of the customer. Using these selling techniques, I'm not sure I'll go back. Very sad because my wife and I love their food. I shall be posting on my social media as well as telling everyone we know
