March | Locals Supporting Locals

Posted by Jenni Barnett on Monday, March 16th, 2020 at 9:30am.

It's that time of the month again! We are excited to announce March's LoLo gifts! There are so many unique, wonderful, local businesses in Middle Tennessee and it's time to celebrate them this month!

LoLo, Locals Supporting Locals, is an amazing program for your Parks REALTOR® to give to you! Each month, a completely free, new gift comes to your cell phone for you to enjoy. The gifts are selected by county and are only for local businesses, no nationwide chains!

LoLo helps remind us to shop local and support our friends and neighbors! Here are March's gifts to you!


Hogwood BBQ

Williamson County

Hogwood BBQ is a Cool Springs fast-casual option for generous portions of smoked meats and comfort food sides. While waiting on your food order, you can watch the meat-prepper delicately slice the brisket and create your sandwich or platter, so you can see how much love they put into their foods. Their meats are the main attraction, but do not miss out on their chile cheese grits, pour over mac and cheese, and kale slaw. If you can save room for dessert, the caramel banana pudding should be a no brainer!

LOLO recipients will enjoy a "Brisket or Pork Smoked Bowl" from Hogwood BBQ!


Butcher & Bee

Davidson County

Butcher & Bee calls East Nashville home and serves the community local and fresh flavors. They have found a way to bring options to guests that would traditionally only be found at fine-dining restaurants. They offer gourmet sandwiches such as the Lamb Merguez and the Cubano, along with mezzes including squash custard and tiger style brussels. Butcher & Bee is a local experience that Nashville is proud to have within the community.

LOLO recipients will enjoy a "Whipped Feta" from Butcher & Bee!


Swaney Swift’s on the Square is a Gallatin staple that began serving the community in the 1950s and reopened in 2015. This restaurant is perfect for an outing that involves burgers, milkshakes, and a good time. Every Monday is Family Movie Night and Thursday’s are Trivia Night, which keeps everyone entertained throughout the week! Swaney Swift’s menu is creative and offers items such as the Homer, which consists of a half-pound burger in between glazed donuts and bacon and cheese! The Cookie Monster dessert is also a huge hit and a great option if you are looking to top off your meal and bring smiles to your group.

LOLO recipients will enjoy a "Classic Burger and Fries" from Swaney Swift’s on the Square!


Cocina Real

Maury County

Cocina Real is located in Columbia and serves all of your favorite Mexican cuisine, including many variations of burritos, quesadillas, and tacos. They also offer choriqueso and Mexi egg rolls to kick off your meal! Their customers rave about the good food, great service, and the margarita specials they offer throughout the week.

LOLO recipients will enjoy “Lunch Nachos" from Cocina Real!


The Alley on Main

Rutherford County

The Alley on Main has been well-received in Murfreesboro since opening their doors in 2014. All of their meals are made in-house from scratch and are sure to please! While dining at The Alley on Main, you will have a difficult time deciding between their tenderloin kabobs, shrimp wontons, or any of their steaks, sandwiches, or pasta. They also host a wine tasting on the first Monday of every month, so stop by to support the local charity it benefits!

LOLO recipients will enjoy "Bowl of Gumbo" from The Alley on Main


Kat's Bar & Grille

Wilson County

Kat’s Bar & Grille in Mt. Juliet offers a local spot to meet up and spend time with family and friends! If you like wings, burgers, or fried seafood, you are in luck! They serve high quality bar and grill food and host live music, major league sports, and fun group activities.

LOLO recipients will enjoy "Firecracker Shrimp Appetizer" from Kat’s Bar & Grille!
