Apr 6, 2026

Gaskins BBQ & Lobster at Lakeside Village is entering an exciting new chapter under new ownership, bringing fresh energy while continuing to serve the flavors guests know and love.

Now led by Edwin Bochtler, a U.S. military veteran who recently completed his sixth overseas deployment, Gaskins BBQ & Lobster is building on its strong foundation with thoughtful updates designed to enhance the overall dining experience.

Guests can continue to enjoy signature favorites like slow-smoked brisket and lobster rolls, which have made Gaskins a go-to spot for barbecue and coastal flavors in Lakeland. At the same time, new enhancements are on the way, including a transition to full-service dining, expanded menu offerings, and improved digital ordering options through a newly launched website and mobile app.

These updates are designed to make dining at Gaskins more convenient and enjoyable, whether guests are stopping in for a quick lunch, gathering with family and friends, or ordering takeout to enjoy at home.

In addition to enhancing the in-restaurant experience, there are also plans to introduce new opportunities for the community to connect, with potential events and activations that bring guests together in a welcoming, laid-back atmosphere.
