With The Landing being at Parker Creek for nearly 10 years, owner Herb Winches has decided to open up a second location at Lake Martin.
Now, The Landing will not only be in the Real Island area, but also at Harbor Pointe near Stillwaters.
“I have had so many people over the years say, ‘Golly it’s such a long boat ride. Herb, have you ever thought about doing something on the other side of the lake?’” Winches said.
When the opportunity came, he decided to take it up. Winches said the Harbor Pointe location will have the same great food and service as the original location. With Harbor Pointe being a higher density area, this second location will have extended hours.
The open season will go through the end of September for part of football season. It also will be open Wednesday and Thursday 4 to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Winches said The Landing is well-known for its specials so there will be dinner specials Wednesday-Friday at Harbor Pointe before the weekend rush.
“We are very excited about this opportunity,” he said. “It’s a different concept. I did (Parker Creek’s location) with shipping containers and (Harbor Pointe) is an actual building. It has a big kitchen, which is something we needed. We will have seating underneath a big pergola that goes from the kitchen out to the bar, and it will be covered. Then we will have all kinds of tables and chairs outside around the property because it’s a beautiful view.”
The Landing at Harbor Pointe will also have soft music over the speakers rather than live music to keep down the noise. With the original Landing being known for its Bushwacker, the Harbor Pointe location will have its liquor license and Winches said they will do it with respect. Both of The Landings are family establishments designed for good, clean fun.
Similar to the original, Harbor Pointe will be accessible by boat and car as well as golf cart to accommodate Stillwaters residents.
The Landing at Harbor Pointe will tentatively open May 15.
