The Putnam Room

The Putnam Room takes its name from Putnam County - the county seat of which is Cookeville - and that local pride carries through the restaurant's identity. Located on E Spring Street, it serves a menu focused on American food with the kind of care that turns a neighborhood restaurant into a community fixture.

Open Tuesday through Sunday (closed Monday), The Putnam Room serves lunch and dinner on weekdays and a Saturday dinner service that runs until 10 PM. The Sunday dinner service gives it an unusually useful schedule for Cookeville residents who want a quality meal on an evening when many other restaurants are closed.

With 223 reviews at 4.5 stars, The Putnam Room has established itself as a reliable Cookeville dining option - not flashy, not trendy, just a well-run restaurant that cooks good food and serves its community.
