Step aside, brown-bag lunches, there’s a new midday tradition at the lake. The Windlass has launched its $20 Lunch Special, available Monday through Friday from 11:30 AM to 4:00 PM. Guests can enjoy a lunch entrée, a soft drink or fresh-brewed coffee, and a house-made churro donut for dessert. This new special is more than just a meal, it’s a reason to take a break by the lake and savor a touch of comfort with a hint of indulgence.
No lunch is complete without dessert, and The Windlass delivers with a warm churro donut, golden and crisp on the outside, soft within, and dusted in sugar.
The Windlass Weekly isn’t only about what’s on the plate. It’s about creating a reason to gather with friends, family, or even colleagues, to enjoy a meal that feels special and to pause in the middle of a busy day.
What sets The Windlass apart is not just the food, but the setting. Overlooking the waters of Lake Hopatcong, diners can enjoy beautiful lake views, a gentle breeze off the water, and the unmistakable charm of Nolan’s Point. With seating on the heated patio, it’s a lunchtime escape that feels like a getaway, even on the busiest weekdays.
