Lakewood Brewing Co. of Garland looks to become a regular lunch destination for its patrons, as the company has expanded its hours to allow more time to enjoy the Lakewood Kitchen's lineup of "not your typical pub fare," which includes shareables, salads, sandwiches, flatbread pizzas and desserts.
The brewery first opened its on-site kitchen in the fall of 2022, but lunch service was originally only offered later in the week and on weekends. Now, taproom visitors can order a midday meal seven days a week, with hours beginning at 11 a.m.
“Our kitchen team has been knocking it out of the park, and we wanted more people to experience that,” says Wim Bens, founder and president of Lakewood. “Lunch gives us another opportunity to surprise guests with what brewery food can be.”
As for the menu, one highlight is the brewery's rotating "Flatbread of the Month." This month's selection, created by line cook Juan Fleming, is appropriately named Bacon Me Crazy. It features a crispy crust and an alfredo-sauced base layered with mozzarella, bacon, spinach, marinated cherry tomatoes and a Temptress balsamic drizzle.
On that note, several other dishes also incorporate flavors from the brewery's range of beers - Lakewood Lager enriches the jalapeño queso, the Bavarian Pretzel is served with Temptress-infused mustard, and the Prosciutto Flatbread is finished with a Temptress reduction.
