The Tavern at Lakeside

I visited this kool spot in Denton for lunch- because of my upcoming meeting, i was in s bit of a rush snd needed something quick. I ordered falafel burger with fries. The falafel burger was delicious and freshly made. Absolutely loved the fusion of Mediterranean and American flavors. The food was simply delicious and freshly made. I am for sure planning to come here for lunch or dinner.

First time...Great atmosphere, the drinks were top notch and the food was absolutely perfection. Sat on the couches and enjoyed our drinks. Would definitely go again.

Husband & I have ate here a couple of times now and each time doesn’t disappoint. It’s always packed whenever we go ; whether brunch, lunch, or dinner - we’ve been during all 3 times. Food, service, atmosphere all great. Nice casual restaurant to go and hangout - I recommend the patio seating if spots are available, especially if the weather is nice! Parking is hit or miss. Overall, great place & like I said, we’ve been a couple of times and we’ll continue going back!

We hosted a party here and the staff was amazing! Brittani, Logan and Mady helped us and they went over and beyond to make sure our experience was fantastic. We had yummy food, great drinks, and AMAZING customer service. If you need to host a small party, I would highly recommend hosting here. They were prompt in responding to us and answering all our questions!

I’ve been here twice recently. It’s my favorite Gastropub in Flower Mound! The service is outstanding, enthusiastic wait staff who steered me to order good dishes with lots of flavor. Liked the Ribeye on a tasty bed of potatoes and veggies, named the Joe Rogan. Really Good vibes.at night, crowd is mostly 30-50s. It is a unique community bar / restaurant in Lakeside. Dog friendly patio with plenty of outdoor seating.

I’ve been coming here at least once a week for around a year and a half. Trey has always been the absolute best. His service is spot on, he’s very fast and attentive, and he accommodates any requests we give him. If you are ever wanting top tier service ask to be in his section!! We don’t usually go unless he is working. I’ve tried almost everything on the menu and some of my favorites are the spinach artichoke dip, the fish n chips (seriously the best french fries ever are here), and the wings. Brunch is also great here!! Try the scottish egg, surprisingly good. We always go for happy hour and sit on the patio.

Fantastic food, great beer, and terrific service. The chicken fried chicken was moist with scratch gravy and phenomenal brussel sprouts. The patio is a rare gem in DFW.

Tavern at Lakeside was nice. They have really good specials. Went on a Tuesday afternoon and entres were half price. Food was good but nothing amazing. Just good bar food. Service was great. Their Joe Rogan carnivore dish sounds interesting.

Nice ambiance and bar & grill vibe, but food is hit or miss. I've been here 4 times and no consistency on food at all.

Pasta tasted like watered down Alfredo, wasn't much of any flavor. Doesn't have any cajun flavor, was very disappointed. It's sad because for such a great environment the food is very bland. appetizers have so far been the good thing.

I came here for a work lunch, had no idea the are this place is on existed. It is a really cool area and The Tavern fits right into the area... I will give this place a 5 on atmosphere. They have done a great job bringing in the tavern feel and ambiance. The place has a really nice vibe. The service was really good. Our waiter was was attentive without being obtrusive. He checked in regularly and got us everything we needed. Our food came out in reasonable time and was fresh and hot. I ordered the Lemon Pepper Chicken. It came with mixed veggies and mashed potatoes. The chicken was good but the lemon was a bit overpowering in some bites. The veggies were seasoned with lemon pepper as well, and that was a little too much. Mashed potatoes rocked. Fun place, I will be back!

This location is awesome, we began our dinner with a drink or two outside while we waited for a table. If we had a smaller party, I would have loved to have our entire meal outside. Not only was the weather perfect, but the ambiance and server were great, too. It was a perfect start to our dinner. Once we moved inside, we still had a very positive experience. The best part was the team of servers that we had to ensure our party was well taken care of and there was no issue. It was great to see everyone work together so easily. The drink menu is a bit small, but the options were very nice and had something for everyone. The food isn't quite as good as I had hoped - everyone said their dish was okay, unfortunately nothing was a standout. The mac-and-cheese was probably the best, collectively. There was a full meal buffalo mac that looked (and tasted) very good, too. Definitely avoid the Pad Thai - it tastes bad..and looks worse.

I have only been to The Tavern at Lakeside a couple of times. Sunday Brunch was very nice. We had 8 people and service was perfect. Lately, when I go to restaurants with groups of people the bills are always messed up. Our waitress had all of our bills separate and correct before we even asked if we could get separate checks. I had a pineapple mimosa and the chicken biscuit. My next visit was a girls night on a Tuesday. 50% off signature entrees is pretty nice on Tuesdays. I had the Redfish which was delicious! There is a nice selection of wine and beer along with a full bar and signature cocktails. It's definitely a spot that I want to continue to go to, because of the large variety of food choices, great service and location. Both times the restaurant was crowded, especially Tuesday night when there was a full restaurant inside and out. It has a party atmosphere.

Another great visit! Service, food, vibe was great. Brought a client back and the schnitzel was fantastic!

I was pleasantly surprised with how good everything was. We got the cheese dip which was excellent. It's really for a party of 4. We couldn't and barely put a dent in it. I also had the Shrimp risotto and my wife had the chicken pot pie. Both were delicious and we both took the leftovers home and ate them. I'd definitely go back. There is more I'd like to try. Our waiter was pretty attentive and the atmosphere is more like a sports bar that delivers upscale food.

Solid food and service. Usually has availability. Casual and homey. Food has always been good.

Beautiful sunny day here enjoying the patio, good food and great company! The food was outstanding. I had the jalapeño, honey butter chicken sandwich-I could only eat half but took the other half home for later. It was sooo good! A friend got the scotch egg and loved it. Can't recall our third dish, but the service was great, the food was so good and I want to come again next time I'm in town! Oh and we got dessert too! It was delicious as well!!

Come for the burgers! The burgers consistently get rave reviews and have been called the best burger you can get in Flower Mound at a restaurant (Flurry's is a strong contestant for during the day burger grabs). Come for the service! I had an issue with my tuna being "off" (think, tasted like licking the inside of a dirty aquarium) and the server took care of it immediately and was super empathetic. Then, after ordering my replacement meal (cup of tortilla soup), they brought a bowl instead - and when reminded, they were apologetic and took care of that, too. The tortilla soup was good and brothy, just like I like it, with cubes of tender chicken and a few slices of avocado. (No tortilla strips, though? Maybe they were broken up in the soup and too soft/small for me to notice?) What I can't recommend (at this time) is the tuna atop the salad (pictured). The salad underneath it though? DELICIOUS. I hope it was a one-off bad piece of tuna I experienced though! The place was really lively for a Wednesday night at 9:30. It was loud and we could barely hear each other, but there aren't many later meal options in Flower Mound, so beggars can't be choosers?

Amazing place with excellent food! The bartender Noah S. told me about a new menu item, the Italian wrap! It was SO good! You can get it as a sandwich or wrap! Great service and a cool neighborhood spot!

We love this restaurant- never disappoints. Anything we ever order is just really good. Same goes for customer service- always great! Love the ambiance- spacious, cozy, with a heated patio as an option! Definitely a must try! ~ Ash & Justy

Absolutely love this place!!! The staff is super friendly, and the vibe is just right--whether you're winding down after work with happy hour or grabbing a post-gym meal. I visited on a Tuesday when they offer 50% off entrée dishes--such a steal because the food is delicious! You can choose between indoor and outdoor seating, depending on that unpredictable Texas weather. There's really no reason not to try this spot... it's a must!!!

Walking into this place reminds me of the Cheers (tv show) - seriously though, it feels like a neighborhood bar where everybody knows your name. People are friendly and the venue is warm and cozy so you feel like home. It's hard to explain but you can come here to watch sports or bring the fam or a date for some intimate dinner. I love the signature old fashion here but also opt for the Adult Capri Sun when I'm feeling playful. Pick any menu item and you will love it... I swear! Great portions and so flavorful! Outside has ample seats for you and your furry friend. Check out the seasonal and holiday theme decor, too. This venue is super fun to hang out in.

The Tavern at Lakeside. Home of the "room temperature beer"! When will this great restaurant start serving cold beer? It has been at least 3 years I have noticed this and been told there is a problem with their coolers! Wow!

I ordered the salmon plate that comes with bussel sprouts and mashed potatoes. The menu does not mention that the dish has bacon bites on the sprouts. I CAN NOT eat bacon due to religious beliefs and after eating a few bites of the meal I noticed the small bacon pieces. I was so upset and called for the manager. I explained to the manager that the menu does not state bacon (which it should) she apologized and asked if I wanted them to make it without bacon and I said fine. After getting the "fixed" new dish, I ate a few bites and noticed bacon bites again. I was so furious and called the manager again to show her. She apologized again. I had to demand to take it off of my bill. I started questioning if this was done on purpose the second time. I walked away hungry and so upset that I was forced to eat bacon. I will not return for my weekly meal there.

Stopped mid afternoon for drinks and appetizers. They have some interesting happy hour choices. We ate it side and enjoyed the atmosphere. Peeked inside and the place looked cool. We had some beers and the brisket fries and southwest egg rolls. Beer was cold and good list. The egg rolls were served with a southwest sauce and a Korean style sauce. The egg rolls were nice and crisp with no grease you get with some egg rolls . Would get them every time I visit- quite good. Fries were solid good, with nice chunks of brisket.

I visited this location for a work lunch on a busy Wednesday afternoon. I ordered chicken strips, fries, and a salad. First thing, service was great, no issues there. Our orders came out fresh and pretty quickly despite the busy crowd. Unfortunately, the good review ends there for me. The tenders were rubbery with a bad aftertaste and the fries didn't taste like anything. I will say the salad was great and the best thing I ordered. Everyone else enjoyed their lunches so maybe it's just me!

Atmosphere here is great. I've been a dozen times over the last few months. Waiter Kyle is the best (super funny) and we always request him. He always takes good care of us. New food options are good. Recent updates are nice. Always love Sunday brunch.

Decent food for decent prices! Some days during the week they have half off entrees which is worth it! Nothing crazy, can get pretty loud Decent service for decent food, more bar/grill vibes

I went to watch the UT football game and someone who I guarantee is a regular had a literal roid rage moment and threatened to fight me. He was clearly hammered drunk at 3PM by the way. Not to mention there are kids in this place and couples just trying to have a nice time. The bartender instead of telling him to calm down cut me off and told ME to leave?! I like this place but I've gotten the vibe before that they let drunks bogard the bar and sit here for hours on hours over serving people. This place is over priced and has mediocre at best food anyways, I had the wings and didn't eat half of them. Steer clear of this dump.

This has been one of my favorite spots for a few years now. Great sports bar atmosphere and really good food as a compliment. Their brunch is outstanding...I really wish they'd have brunch for more than two days a week.

Service: Prompt, knowledgeable, and sympathetic towards dogs (she brought a dog water bowl without me having to ask). Ambience: A little tight but the venue is small so I'm not taking any stars off for that. Good vibe on the sidewalk and a nice crowd. I like that it has a dog friendly patio. Food: The burger meat was nothing to write home about but the quinoa salad had a great flavor and presentation. The beer and liquor collection is above average so it earned a star for that.

Love the idea of this place, food is good. However, the patio/outdoor furniture is awful, super dirty and not inviting.

Food was great and the portions were very large. The pricing was very fair also. Love how the restaurant is split into a bar side and dining side. Plenty of tv's with lots of different games playing.

The English fries and chips were so freaking tasty and absolutely delicious!! Loved it! The pizookie was really good! Service was good and the ambiance is wonderful! Would surely come here again!

Great spot for a quick bite and a cocktail. The happy hour nachos and old fashioned were perfect for a late lunch. I've been here a few minutes but need to make time to sit on the patio. It looks inviting!

When your waiter can't even tell you what is on tap- there is a problem. You go to the QR code and it takes you to Untapped- tells you there are 28 beers, but no idea of draft, bottle, or can. I've had better service at Taco Bell.

I went to The Tavern with a large group of people and had a great lunch. We ordered fried pickles as an appetizer to start. They were very good, but a bit on the salty side. For my main dish, I enjoyed the fish and chips. The fries were some of the best I've had in quite some time and the fish was light and flaky. The only complaint I have is that our server was not very attentive. While we were a large group, the friend next to me received one water and no refills whereas I received a refill, albeit a bit delayed. All in all, I'm sure the food will bring me back!

Nice patio, friendly staff. We sat outside after a northshore trail hike and had drinks and snacks. Decent happy hour specials- the pretzels were pretty good. We really loved the pizza fries- fries with marina, cheese, pepperoni. They were SO good. I love this little strip of restaurants near the lake.

Food - good. Staff - great! Beverage (sodas) choice terrible. They don't have Diet Coke - Coke Zero - gross and too sweet. I was bringing in my own Diet Coke but that has been shut down. Won't be back till they have that option.

Love this place and love the atmosphere! Everything that myself or my friends order has been awesome. They have half off entrees on tuesdays! The outdoor seating is nice. Great location in Lakeside.

I've been here many times and have loved it, but there is rude lady manager. Their system was down and I put a pick up order through door dash. When I came to get it, the manager thought I was a door dash driver and said "no you're not getting the food" then closed her office door in my face. Thinking to myself she must be low key racist .....Kinda awkward because my family has blogged for them before at their request. We won't be back.

Love this place - solid to outstanding food, beverages, and service. Ambience is a sports bar, so definitely NOT quiet! Everything I've had to eat or drink, I would have again!

I come here for a nice night & to watch the Texas vs. Ohio State college football playoff game & it has to be ruined by opening outside bar seats. It's 30 degrees outside & everyone inside is freezing. Also last time I ordered a marg it was probably the worst one I've ever had.

Had an hours-long lunch meeting at Tavern, it was pretty good. Around lunch time the place was filled with retirees and what looked like power lunchers. Our server's name Shawn was pretty good and made great suggestions. The fish and chips were tasty, perfectly cooked fries with a real nice crunch. Any Londoner would be impressed. Huge portions for lunch but so good, I don't think there was a fry left. The same goes for the sandwich that was gone In just a few minutes. The ambiance of the restaurant was very welcoming, and perfect for a casual business meeting. Just the right amount of background noise that you want in this situation. Highly recommend this spot.

Just had to update my review with this beauty. Wow Club on a croissant roll is next level! I'll never eat a Club anywhere else! Light and fluffy croissant, good portion of ham/turkey and fresh avocado slices. I didn't get the pepper jack as requested but hot damn this was good. Oh yeah, the fries are as well!

Good atmosphere, friendly server and good food! We'll definitely come back to explore day menu ;)

Second time here I was impressed the first time not so much the second time food was overcooked and not packaged very well for it to go order. Food was flavorful, but textures were off due to being overcooked. First visit I would've given five stars. This visit only three. Consistency is key.. I'll give it another try the next time I'm in town

They don't update their menu online so you can still order things that they currently aren't serving. The refund process is a bit sketchy and long. The food though is good.

Excellent food and service. The happy hour specials are great. There is a section of the menu that is 50% off for happy hour, making them amazing deals. I loved the fried pickles and now I don't want them from anywhere else. I will definitely be back!!!

It was fine. Shrimp were a little small. The smoked cocktail was fine, but their method of infusing the smoke only gave a hint. It didn't really absorb the smoke well. There are better options. But nothing was bad.

Poor service, seating is not very good and the staff are oblivious where to seat people in relation to party numbers, adults and children. Did not bother trying the food cause if you can't get the seating right hate to see what the food will be like if this is your front line staff giving off first impression's... too many options around this area that will gladly provide better service.

Great food, great service, high energy ambiance. Cajun Chicken Pasta is fantastic as are the Sweet Chili Cauliflower Bites. Davis is an epic server. Ask for him!

Excellent food, beverage, and service. Highly recommend. Easy enough to park and beautiful outdoor and indoor seating.

This place is right in the heart of the residential and commercial complex. It is a higher end local spot. We came here for brunch as a large group. They put us outside which was nice. Foods are OK, not exceeding any expectations. Waiters were nice, and service was relatively fast. I would come maybe for the right occasion, wouldn't go out of my ways to come here.

We wanted to find a new spot to check out for dinner so yelp helped us find this tavern. Better than bar food for sure... We ordered the chicken wings as a starter and they were so finger licking good. I ordered the chicken pot pie and my husband got street tacos. My pot pie came with a flaky peice of goodness to top it off. It was thick and hardy leaving me very happy with my choice. My husband's street tacos were okay. He said it lacked flavor, but the salsa did help. The service from beginning to end was great and we definitely will come back to try the pork chops!!

What has happened to this place? The food and atmosphere used to be fantastic. Now the food has become mediocre, at best, and the aura of the tavern has become tense, even depressing. The are too many other quality places to go than to waste time and money at The Tavern at Lakeside.

The week I had planned to have brunch here was the same week the lockdown begun. Earlier in the week. I considered doing UberEats for lunch but had no desire to pay the various up charges (e.g. 20% higher menu prices, service and delivery fees). Since I was running an errand, I decided to do curbside. Although I got their voicemail when I dialed, I succeeded with Facebook Message. Ordering was somewhat easy. After texting "Brisket Grilled Cheese", I did not get an acknowledgement. After waiting a couple minutes later, I texted my side order and mentioned that is all. A few minutes later, I was told my order will be ready in 15 minutes. Several minutes later, I was asked for my car's make and color. After I texted once I arrived, I only had to wait in my car a few more minutes. The waitress and I traded my credit card for the order. A bit later, she came for my signature on the credit slip. The Cowboy Brisket Grilled Cheese was bulging with brisket. I clearly tasted the cheese and hint of the onion-bacon jam as I bit into the sandwich. From appearance, both sides of the toast may have been buttered. The sweet potato fries were a bit greasy, but that did not stop me from eating most of the fries. Under normal circumstances, I would not have ordered a sandwich. Then again, under normal circumstances, I would have dined at the restaurant. Now for something I never thought would be mentioned in a review... face masks and gloves! While my waitress wore a face mask and gloves, many did not wear a face mask. Not even the waitress serving drinks to a couple of customers seated outside. Everyone serving or bussing tables wore gloves.
