Eddie Montgomery breaks ground on new restaurant
Skylar's Landing, a Montgomery and Mitchell development, is named after Montgomery's granddaughter. The development will feature a variety of shopping venues and numerous commercial lots available for purchase, as well as Montgomery's restaurant. Eddie Montgomery's Steakhouse will be approximately 16,000 square feet with seating for 265 guests. Specializing in premium steaks and family atmosphere, the log-structured restaurant will have a lodge theme complete with stone fireplaces, waterfalls and a stage to showcase musicians from around the country.
"Live music has kind of gone away, and I want to help bring it back," said Montgomery. "This has always been a dream of mine."
Montgomery's business partners are Tommy and Gwen Mitchell of Rocky Top Log Furniture and Railing in Garrard County.
"This area and Kentucky and the man upstairs have given so much to me that I would just love to give a little bit back," said Montgomery. "I want to do something that everyone in the community can be proud of."
Construction is scheduled for completion this fall.

Gentry was only 50 years-old at the time of his fatal helicopter crash, but he had accomplished much: the longstanding partnership with Eddie Montgomery had yielded five number one singles, and dozens of other hits. 2018's "Here's To You" release was completed at the time of the tragedy. ...
It's impossible to listen to Montgomery Gentry's "Here's to You," without also feeling sad that it's the last studio album featuring Troy Gentry, who died in a helicopter crash. When they sing, "Here's to the ones who ain't in here tonight" during "Needing a Beer" and then go on to praise fireman and cops for being elsewhere fighting crime, you may be struck by the fact that Gentry also "ain't in here tonight. ...
Where once Garth Brooks was criticized for not being country enough, today we have hip hop artists making cameos and artists like Sam Hunt topping the country charts with EDM songs. With no release since 2011's "Rebels on the Run," we see Montgomery Gentry return to a radically different country music scene than the one they were a part of at the turn of the century.
