Lock & Dam was born in 2016 within a retrofitted gas station serving unique hot dogs, juicy griddled burgers, and creamy soft serve. We are a local family owned and operated small business. Our outdoor dining area offers fantastic views overlooking the Allegheny river. We love having families enjoy a sunny day with great food before going the the Pittsburgh Zoo, Highland Park, or the surrounding area. When coming to Lock & Dam, we believe that you, and your family, should relish the good times, so come and enjoy!

Easy casual pit stop while running errands in the area My husband got the Western dog, I got the Chicago, we added candied Jalapeños which we liked, and split a float and cheese fries. Couldn’t sit inside the time we went, which was rough because it was 40 and windy, but she seemed to hint that there’d be indoor seating soon.

One of the cutest little restaurants around. With many options to choose from this little burger-hot dog joint had some TASTY treats in store! The staff was VERY friendly and chatty which made for a pleasant experience. The food was really great, as well as the view right next door of the bridge. They provide picnic tables and benches. It’s a great place to eat after a trip to the Pittsburg Zoo!

Such an awesome local place! We had a burger, nugs, onion rings and a LTO sundae.

My husband and I ordered the Dam Deluxe and Western Burger. Both were exquisite. Chefs Joe and Kai really know what they are doing in the kitchen. The young lady who checked out our order was very sweet and pleasant, her name was Liz. We will be returning soon to try the dogs!

We were leaving the zoo while at the light on Baker St. noticed this hotdog shop and just had to stop. I have to say it was worth stopping for the strawberry milk shake it was so great. My husband has the cookies & cream peanut butter milk shake and it was really good also. I had the Chicago hotdog and he had the Dam Value meal which was a burger both good. If you are ever in the area I would recommend you try it. I do have to warn you there is a really annoying message that keeps going off from the light on Baker St.

Decent burgers and fries and corn dogs. Soft serve and hard ice cream. Cool spot to overlook the river, but watch the traffic in the lot. Dining room appears to be permanently closed.

Loved this little place, and the food was fantastic!!! Crazy burger combos that are delish!!! I didn’t try the ice cream yet, but next time I will!!! I wish it wasn’t raining so we could sit outside and watch the river

Spent the day at the zoo yesterday with my 2 grandchildren. The woman who served us was extremely kind—did not charge us for a mini cup of soft serve for my 19 month old granddaughter ☺️When my 4 yo grandson fell off the picnic bench and scraped his arm, she was even willing to retrieve a band-aid from the store’s first aid kit! It’s not often enough that we hear about kindness…We will definitely be returning to support this business!!!

The burgers, hot dogs, and milkshakes are really good. The parking lot is small and hard to get in and out of, but the food is worth the hassle!
