Hitching Post

I saw that this restaurant got good reviews so I thought I would try it. I pull up to the restaurant and saw the outside and became hesitant. I decided to go inside and it has a wonderful atmosphere. There is a cowhide on the wall. The waitress hands us the menu which looks like a newspaper. On the front, it tells the story of how this building used to be a sheep barn 70 years ago and then later turned into a restaurant. The food reminds me of a restaurant when I was a child that served chicken fried steak with country gravy. I am so glad I stopped here.

This restaurant offers great hometown customer service with country size food portions. Our family ordered the Chicken Fried Steak, British Burger, Hamburger and the Kids Mac and Cheese. Everything was so good and fresh! The fried steak was so big it had its own plate. Needless to say you’ll be full and happy leaving the Hitchin Post.

Loved it. Had the small order of fried mushrooms and they were huge and tasty. The ranch dressing was chunky almost home made? Then had a steak salad and it awesomely cooked. Don’t expect to be waited hand and foot because this a local restaurant not a franchise chain where their smiles are fake. This a true Texas place with Texas attitude but great food. Nicely decorated and good selection of booze. Will bring back the family next time.

Went for dinner and my wife ordered the Delux Chicken-Fried Steak and was served a plate that could have fed 4. The waitress thought it was funny how surprised we were at its size. When we ordered it we had no idea it would be so huge and there were smaller options on the menu that would have been better, an a more professional waitress would have pointed this out. The menu does not indicate how large it would be. I felt like we were taken advantage of, since we were just passing through. I didn't think it was funny at all.

Traveling back to San Angelo thru Ozona Tx On a Sunday meals are so bland with limited locations that provide a sit down meal. This location not only was open on Sunday,but allowed my daughter to bring in her pet as long as it was in a carrier. Meal was delicious and savory to my palet The sweet tea was refreshing and delicious A location to definitely return to. After a good meal a nice breezy rose garden walk to admire.

There is something about this place that makes it very special, but it isn't the steaks. The staff was wonderful, and was obviously a strong "family" bonds. I could tell they have a great love for each other which makes this place special! They shine through. But, as a comparison to other Texas venues, it falls short (think blooper to the first baseman). A visit this wonderful area, or just passing through, then be sure to give it a try just for the experience however you may find the much better by going further east to Boerne (Hungry Horse) or west to Fort Stockton (K-Bobs). Food was below average. I won't return

Great steak, but incredibly poor service. We started with an order of the cheese curds and fried mushrooms which were good then we had the KC's steak for 2. It comes with 6 smaller sized steaks and four sides. The mashed potatoes, corn, and grilled potatoes with onions were all completely cold. We didn't even get a refill on our drinks until the check came.
