Lock And Dam Eatery - Hastings

My wife and I took our three kids (ages 13, 11, and 7) for breakfast at this restaurant, and we had a wonderful time. The kids loved it so much that they wanted to come back the very next day. The breakfast burrito was a big hit; all the kids ordered it again on the second visit. I had the Mexican omelet, which was delicious—the flavors were savory, and the hash browns were perfectly crisp. The waitstaff was kind and friendly, contributing to a really enjoyable experience for all of us. While the coffee could use some improvement, that's a minor point compared to everything else we loved about the meal. I would definitely recommend this place!

I was really disappointed with my experience. The service was lacking, and the attitude of the hostess and staff was quite shocking. The food did not impress me at all. Mixing Mexican and Italian cuisine just didn’t work; it was far from enjoyable. Both the Mexican and Italian dishes failed to meet expectations. Honestly, it felt like a waste of time, and I wish I could get back the money I spent on gas just to come here.

The food and drinks were excellent. The mules were particularly enjoyable. I ordered the fried cod tacos, which were delicious. My boyfriend had the burger with blue cheese, and he loved it. We were seated promptly, and our drinks arrived quickly. Everything went smoothly with no issues whatsoever. Service: Dine-in Meal type: Lunch

I really enjoyed the patio, and it's a great bonus that pets are allowed. The menu is extensive, but the quality can vary depending on what you choose. The burgers, for instance, were cooked well done, even though I requested medium rare. The carnitas tacos were decent, but nothing outrageous. The service was a bit slow, which is to be expected when dining on the patio, so I wasn't too bothered by it. Overall, the atmosphere was lively and enjoyable. Service: Dine in, Meal type: Lunch.
