Crispy and delicious fried chicken… sides were great but no candied yams . Daughter had catfish. She said it was ok, so I liked the chicken more than she liked the fish.

I visited The Hitching Post for dinner and enjoyed the fried chicken dinner! The rum punch and fried pickles were delicious additions to the meal. The staff was friendly, and the patio made for a nice spot to take in the weather. I’m looking forward to returning!

Hitching Post: The catfish was the bomb! The fish was sooo fresh and crispy, the macaroni was ok. I think It could’ve been baked a little longer or was just missing something. The fries we ordered were crispy but they didn’t match the level of goodness the fish possessed. I literally raved over the fish and ambiance of the space. It reminds me of a mom and pop. It’s pretty intimate and wasn’t super busy that day. There was a bar that I would like to try next time I visit.

Enjoyed our dinner here on the outside porch. It’s very tight seating and everyone seemed to want to sit outside on this particular evening. The porch furniture needs a little attention (my chair rocked because the legs were lopsided). There were cobwebs around the ceiling and railings which should definitely be cleaned when outside seating is offered and so popular.

My family went to the Hitching Post last week for the 1st time for a celebration dinner and we are really impressed with the restaurant! The meals were all fresh, tasty and the service was great! It had a cool vibe and comfortable inside seating. The hostess was very welcoming, our waiter was very personable and knowledgable, we are looking forward to coming back!

Went to The Hitching Post with one of my girlfriends this evening. This was my first time there. The food and drinks was amazing. I will be back. I had the pork chop dinner.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Fresh, delicious food and very friendly service. Table for two, we ordered the fried spinach, neck bones and beans, and a four piece fried chicken with mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. Add corn bread! The chicken and the spinach were OFF THE CHART. You gotta try this place.

Had a great dinner here with 4 generations of family. Their fry is on point — chicken, spinach, fries. Blackened catfish and seafood curry also great. Friendly atmosphere and very courteous with our little ones. Only complaint was the happy hour margarita, but everything else was so good.

Not impressed with the food. The wait staff was mostly friendly, especially Patty. The calamari was over fried to flavorless and dry. The blackened catfish wasn’t seasoned. The cornbread was delicious.
