Amazing Western Ky Restaurants to Check Out

Hopkinsville

Horseshoe Restaurant

This restaurant may be small in size, but the food packs a phenomenal punch. The Horseshoe has the best steaks in Hopkinsville and the staff is excellent and super nice.

The prices cannot be beaten and they offer dinner for two that is perfect for Valentine's Day. Be sure to check their Facebook page often. When they have specials, they will announce it here first.

Cadiz, KY

Harper House

Last year, Stephen and I went on a date for our anniversary to Harper House in Cadiz. I really love the atmosphere here in the evening for a romantic date.

The staff are great and the food is some of the best I have had around. The atmosphere really speaks romance to me.

The prices are a little more expensive here. You can expect to spend around $60-$75 for a couple's dinner here, but it is totally worth it.

Princeton, KY

If you are eating out in Princeton, KY and looking for a romantic date night spot for Valentine's Day, let me suggest Adams Breezy Hill Farm.

They have so many options to choose from when it comes to dinner. If you want to go high end, you can order a delicious steak. If you are on a budget, order the Chicken Parm which is to die for and big enough for two people to share.

We love going here because the atmosphere is really laid back, but super romantic — especially if you eat out on the porch.

Gilbertsville, KY

Harbor Lights Restaurant at Kentucky Dam Village

The Harbor Lights Restaurant is part of the Kentucky Dam Village but the chef there is amazing and always does a great job providing a delicious meal for Valentine's Day. The cuisine ranges far and wide, so you never know what you're going to get.

Enjoy gorgeous lakeside scenery while dining in the restaurant. As a supporter of the Kentucky Proud program, they use local meats and produce when available, and now serve Kentucky wine and spirits in the restaurant.

Paducah, KY

Freight House

I have talked in depth about my love of Freight House in Paducah. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their food because it is all locally sourced with a farm to table experience.

The atmosphere is perfect for a date night! The prices are reasonable but expect to spend around $50-$60 for a night out here.

Their food changes with the season which is another reason I love this restaurant so much.

For a complete list of my favorite restaurants in Paducah, check out this list of Paducah KY restaurants.

Cynthia’s Ristorante

Cynthia’s is a beautiful high-end Italian restaurant. While this is not your “let’s eat here everyday” kind of place (because yes — it is pretty expensive to eat here), it is the perfect place to go and have a special occasion dinner like Valentine's Day.

The atmosphere is quiet and romantic. The staff is super knowledgable about the menu and the food is out of this world. If you love a good authentic Italian restaurant experience, this needs to be on the radar for the next visit to Paducah.

Stella's

Stella's is an amazing upscale restaurant with a beautiful pairing of food and drinks.

If you're in the mood for a dining experience that combines history, atmosphere, and exceptional food, look no further than Stella's, the newest locally owned tavern in Downtown Paducah. Nestled in the iconic C.C. Cohen building on Broadway Street, Stella's offers the perfect blend of elevated comfort food, craft cocktails, and a setting rich in character.

Grand Rivers, KY

Patti's 1880 Settlement

Our area is so excited that Patti's 1880 Settlement has FINALLY been rebuilt and we can all enjoy their delicious food once again.

The atmosphere at Patti's is more romantic to me now than when the old restaurant was around. Stephen and I celebrated our anniversary here once but we recently tried out the new restaurant again and love the new atmosphere even more.

Our favorite thing to do that is super romantic is after dinner, walking around outside enjoying the scenery and beautiful lights all around.

A new restaurant to our area just since 2019 is T. Lawson's Grill. Our family ate here not too long ago and LOVED the food.
