Their house-fried tortilla nachos with topping and dip are a great snack, as well.
Puckett's started as a general store in Leiper's Fork in the 1950s and has become a beloved local chain. This Nashville staple is decorated with vintage signs and exposed wood.

The skillet-sized cinnamon roll (served in a cast iron skillet) will satisfy any sweet tooth. The breakfast burrito is in an oversized tortilla stuffed with eggs, pork sausage, cowboy caviar (a refreshing, prickly black bean salad), home fries, and pepper Jack cheese. If that isn't enough, they smother it in gravy and serve grits on the side.
