There are over 250 restaurants in the Land Between The Lakes offering everything from vegan cafe cuisine to ice cream. A Lot of the establishments keep very much to the tradition of Kentucky cuisine and offer casual dining perfect for those who’ve had a busy day out on the lakes or hiking through the gorgeous countryside. If you want something a little more upmarket, there’s Harper House Restaurant.
Harper House is in Hopkinsville at 914 South Main Street and they advertise vintage American casual favorites in a warm comfortable atmosphere. Hopkinsville is a typical LBL town which draws visitors thanks to its proximity of the lake area’s attractions and owners Nelson Green and Chris Daniels have set up shop with Chef Lane Meinert to serve townsfolk and sightseers lunch Wednesday to Friday and dinner Wednesday through Saturday.
The restaurant resides in a restored 100-year-old building, boasting decor reminiscent of the 1930s and 40s. Big band music fills the air, and black-and-white silent movies play on a projection screen.
Like the nightclubs of the 30s, Harper House features an extensive drinks menu. They offer a full range of beers, wines, and champagne. The Martini selection is nearly as long as the food menu. With a bar stocked with 22 different vodkas, the martini options are endless.
As you sip your cocktail, peruse the menu featuring familiar American classics with a Kentuckian twist. The house salads are a highlight. The Winter Rocket Steak Salad includes marinated Hanger steak, arugula, romaine, blue cheese crumbles, fresh figs, diced sweet potatoes, toasted cashews, and Agave Honey Mustard dressing.
Every Wednesday, enjoy a fresh seafood catch of the day. The restaurant also hosts wine tasting classes, adding to its unique offerings.
