We made a reservation online and almost cancelled it because of some negative reviews online, but we decided to give it a try. We were pleased with our whole experience. The restaurant has character, the service was great and the food was delicious. We were served promptly and were out within an hour without feeling rushed. We did have a... more

My husband and I recently had dinner at the Hitching Post II. It was very disappointing. The place is in serious need of a decoration renovation. It is very worn and since it does not seem to have been updated recently, gives the feeling of not being very clean. If the dining room and bar are dirty I can only... more

Just back from a Los Olivos/Buellton/Sollvang area wine tasting excursion, we enjoiyed dinner at the Hitching Post very much on our first evening. Ate at the bar which is fun and lively. We both had steaks, mine was the small filet mignon, and I could not finish it - it was a very tasty snack the next day, though. Lots... more

My all-time favorite restaurant! Best filet mignon I have ever eaten (and I usually prefer a rib-eye). The happy hour is wonderful as is their Hitching Post wines (the Highliner Pinot is one of my favorites). This is a very casual restaurant where the staff is exceedingly friendly and the food and wine are beyond superb. A wonderful addition to... more

Like a lot of people, we went here because it was the restaurant featured in the movie "Sideways." It was actually pretty good, if a little overpriced. Steaks were delicious. The sides were nothing special. Try the Pink Pinot. more

On the basis of the food alone the rating would move up to average. I rated this establishment as okay with some problems based on the pricing. The price was far too expensive for the average quality of the food received. I went with two business associates who were also equally unimpressed. I had the rack off lamb, one associate... more

My husband I recently visited the Hitching Post II. The service was good and the atmosphere was fine. The food was o.k. (my steak was very fatty) and for the price we would not go back. We spent more at the Hitching Post than at some other much nicer restaurants in Solvang and Los Olivos. If you are a fan... more

I thought I'd add my review of the Hitching Post to the bevy already here. I knew I was spending the night in Buellton and, since I had a dinner date, wanted to make sure I chose the right place. As usual, I checked the Tripadvisor reviews and came away feeling ambiguous at best. Was this place overrated and living... more

On a busy Memorial Day weekend we got the only reservation we could, at 4 p.m.! But it was worth it, the food was good and with generous portions. The entrees come with fresh veggies or garlic bread (which is barbecued on a grill you can see yourself through a glass window), choice of soup or salad and choice of... more
