What Delaney Clouse dislikes about Hitching Post:
We ate here because I’ve heard good things about it, but it was very disappointing. Extremely bland chicken with no taste, really anywhere else is better. My 3-way was put into a styrofoam box causing it to leak everywhere. Buns for the cheese coneys were brought straight out of the pack, not steamed or even heated up. View all feedback.
The absolute best chicken in Cincinnati! Other menu items have never disappointed me. Service is always good as well.
Since we were in a hurry, I opted for the special, which was country fried chicken with two sides and a roll. My coworker went for the chicken tenders and mashed potatoes. Our food was packed and ready for takeout in under ten minutes. Both portions were generous and around $10 each. The country fried steak consisted of two chicken tenders smothered in gravy. Unlike processed or pressed chicken, these were real chicken breasts prepared just like you would at home. The chicken was crispy, although we both felt it could have used a bit more seasoning. The green beans, on the other hand, were tasty and well-seasoned. My only issue was that my meal came in a single to-go tray without dividers, which meant the green bean juice spilled over a bit. Thankfully, we were only a few minutes from our destination, so I managed to separate them on the way. Next time, I'm definitely going to try a burger and onion rings because they looked incredible. They also offer a wide variety of sides and tempting desserts. If it weren't Lent, I would have treated myself to a slice of blackberry cobbler or cherry pie. If you're ever near Cincinnati, make sure to stop by this local treasure—you won't regret it!
I love this place absolutely. my wife goes for the pineapple on the head cake, which is only available on Thursdays and Fridays. it sells quickly. they have an excellent customer service and the hunch is always fresh, no matter what time of day. we drive from alexandria to enjoy this little place.
The hottest fried Chicken I ever had from a restaurant that wasn't sitting up under a lamp The waitresses was really nice
