With locations throughout Middle and East Tennessee, the Puckett’s roots go way back to the 1950s, and a little grocery store in the village of Leiper’s Fork. Ever since then, Puckett’s has been focused on providing friends new and old with great food and Southern hospitality — and six restaurants later, that aim still rings true.

Puckett’s founder Andy Marshall envisioned the restaurant to be more like a community kitchen, with live pickin’ performances just a few feet from your table. He wanted authentic comfort food — barbecue smoked slow ‘n’ low over cherry wood, the home-cooked sides, even a few upscale dishes — to be what his guests remembered, years after sitting at his table. Not much has changed since he started the formal dinner and music program more than 15 years ago.

A true Tennessee original, Puckett’s remains family-owned & operated to this day. Breakfast, lunch & dinner are served daily, and catering at a variety of price-points is available for events large and small. Puckett’s Pigeon Forge features multiple private and semi-private dining rooms, perfect for your next business meeting, family gathering, or group tour.
