ABOUT US

From the founders' beginnings in Morganton, NC to the big city, Burke Hospitality Group is more than just a staple of the food scene in the Carolinas.  It is the impulser and the progenitor of a food movement. Before anyone cared about food being local, sustainable, farm-focused and chef-inspired, Burke Hospitality Group cared and expressed this through Harper’s. This establishment showed that they understood hospitality is much more than just a restaurant, it is a collection of people–farmers, purveyors, providers, chefs, cooks, servers, owners, etc–all of whom are here to create and share on the world’s most sacred experience: eating. Thirty-five years is a long time to be ahead of the game, and thirty-five years is also a long time to keep ideating and creating new memories.

​

Burke Hospitality Group is excited to see everyone else is finally catching up.
