The Local’s Take

“Bright, warm Southern daytime cafe”

SweetMilk is the daytime restaurant from Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint co-founder Pat Martin, serving breakfast all day and lunch from 7 AM to 3 PM, seven days a week, in the Donelson Pike shopping center near the airport (there is a second location in Bowling Green, Kentucky). The menu is built on Martin's family table in Tennessee and Mississippi: the John-Boy Benny on biscuits, Nonie Sue's Table, shrimp and grits, and a fried chicken and hot honey breakfast bowl.

The bar is made for brunch: Daybreak Bloody Marys, $8 mimosas (classic or blueberry-lemon), a sunrise margarita, a maple bacon old-fashioned and canned natural wines.
