What is Puckett's Murfreesboro?

Puckett's Murfreesboro is a Southern restaurant at 114 North Church Street in downtown Murfreesboro, one of six Puckett's Restaurant locations in Tennessee. It serves breakfast from 7 a.m., cherry wood-smoked BBQ, meat & 3 plates and Tennessee favorites, has a full bar, and hosts live music most weeks.

The Murfreesboro restaurant opened in February 2017 as the chain's fifth location. It is run by Andy and Jan Marshall, MTSU alumni whose company, A. Marshall Hospitality, operates Puckett's, and it says it gives back to MTSU students. Puckett's says the location won Best Hot Chicken in the 2025 Rutherford County Main Street Awards.

It is a short walk from the Murfreesboro Public Square and is one of the picks in our Southern food in Murfreesboro and Murfreesboro BBQ guides.
