Scoop Picks: Best Appetizers at the Lake

At Scoop, we can (and sometimes do) make a meal out of appetizers. We love the perfectly sized portions and being able to try a few different things. It’s like having tapas at a non-tapas restaurant. Here are our top picks for best appetizers in LKN restaurants:

EezBlackened Tuna Nachos

If you’re a sushi lover, this appetizer has it all – tuna, avocado, and crab dip – on a wonton chip.

Honorable mention: we also love the sweet & spicy potstickers

131 MainThe Double Dip

Perfect for sharing, this app features homemade pimento cheese & guacamole – served with warm tortilla chips. Just add one of their signature cocktails and you’re set.

Smoke Modern BBQ – Smokin’ Nachos

Yes, nachos are on here twice (we love them!) – but these are completely different nachos. With brisket (or pulled pork), house made queso & jalapeños, what’s not to love?

Alton’s Kitchen & Cocktails – Prime Rib Stuffed Mushrooms

Prime rib + mushrooms in the same bite = total winner. This is our go-to appetizer when taking people to Alton’s for the first time. Just try it – we promise you won’t regret it!

Flatiron Kitchen & Taphouse – Waygu Beef Sliders

Yes, Flatiron in Davidson is a steakhouse but that doesn’t mean you can’t order a burger as an appetizer. These are bite-size and oh-so-delicious.
