Savor the Flavor of History: Lobster Fettuccine and the Dam Wrap at Lock And Dam Eatery
Nestled in the heart of downtown Hastings, near the historic Lock and Dam No. 2, Lock And Dam Eatery offers more than just exquisite meals; we offer a taste of local history. Our Lobster Fettuccine and the Dam Wrap are not just delightful dishes; they are culinary echoes of the rich heritage that flows through Hastings, much like the Mississippi River beside which our town thrives.
The Story of Lock and Dam No. 2
Our eatery draws inspiration from the nearby Lock and Dam No. 2, a testament to engineering and perseverance. Constructed in 1927 and having undergone various transformations, this lock and dam have not only facilitated navigation but also contributed to the energy needs of Hastings through its hydrokinetic power facility. The Dam Wrap, much like this historic structure, symbolizes innovation and the blending of tradition with modernity.
Lobster Fettuccine: A Nod to Nautical History
Our Lobster Fettuccine is a culinary tribute to the river's nautical past. It features a rich lobster cream sauce and sautéed shrimp, elegantly layered over a bed of fettuccine. Each forkful is a reminder of the river's bountiful gifts and the timeless recipes that have traveled down the waterways to our tables.
The Dam Wrap: A Local Twist
The Dam Wrap, a local favorite, encapsulates the spirit of Hastings. Wrapped in a warm giant tortilla, it combines crispy chicken with lettuce, tomatoes, blue cheese, and a sweet chili glaze, complemented by a side of French fries. This dish represents the fusion of local flavors, much like the confluence of history and progress at Lock and Dam No. 2.
