What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?
Puckett's Gro and Restaurant was the Tennessee stop in the 2015-06-19 episode of You Gotta Eat Here! (season 4, episode 21), which TheTVDB's listing describes as a corner store converted into an unconventional Southern restaurant. The listing does not say which Puckett's location was filmed. According to Livability's article dated 2025-11-21, Puckett's began as a country store in Leiper's Fork that opened in the 1950s; Andy Marshall bought it in 1998 and added a grill, daily specials and music sessions, and the family opened a restaurant in a renovated downtown Franklin building in 2004.
Livability lists slow-smoked barbecue, shrimp and grits, fried chicken and meat-and-three plates among its dishes. The restaurant's website, checked on 2026-10-20, lists Franklin among its locations and offers online ordering. OpenTable's Franklin listing gives the address as 120 4th Ave S and shows reviews dated through January 2025.
