1892 Restaurant is tucked away in the heart of Leiper's Fork, a small town located in the "Napa Valley of Tennessee." It's home to the original Puckett's Grocery that has since become a profitable local chain, and the Country Boy Restaurant remains a morning staple for locals. In 2017, the 1892 Restaurant opened for business in a building that was built in, you guessed it, 1892.
