Sweetmilk

Donelson is quickly becoming a hub for new restaurants, and this operation from the Martin’s BBQ team picked the perfect time and place to open this new brunch spot. Sweet Milk is a light and airy space to get serious about a stack of sweet potato pancakes with cinnamon butter. You might be left to be alone with your thoughts for a while before you can get a seat at this walk-in-only cafe, but what awaits are hassle-worthy scoops of pimento cheese grits, and plates of biscuits doused in farmhand gravy that you should share with nobody—not your best friend, your practical Aunt Mary, or even the curious hand of your toddler.
