Lakewood Smokehouse

A holiday hold-up at Lakewood Smokehouse, the new barbecue joint coming to Lakewood Shopping Center, is keeping the doors closed until after the New Year. Their spokeswoman Cynthia Smoot explains: “There is a permit issue that is causing a slight delay with the opening. Because of the Christmas holiday, it looks like it will be sometime the first week of January before Lakewood Smokehouse opens.”
