Service With a Smile - Hitchin Post Steakhouse If you're ever in Fredericksburg, TX make sure to stop by Hitchin Post Steakhouse. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a smile and seated quickly. Our waitress, Toyna, was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made us feel welcome throughout the entire meal. We started with the Cajun-style onion rings--thinly sliced, perfectly crispy, and served with a side of ranch. They were absolutely delicious. For our entrées, we both ordered the All-American cheeseburger with fries, and they were outstanding. The burgers were juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right, while the fries were hot and crispy. I'd easily give the meal a 9 out of 10. I paired mine with a local stout from Altstadt Brewing Company, which complemented the burger perfectly. My significant other ordered the iced tea, and you could actually taste the tea leaves--fresh, smooth, and one of the best restaurant teas we've had. Before leaving, we asked Toyna what dessert she recommended. Without hesitation, she suggested the made-to-order peach pie, and we're glad we listened. It arrived piping hot with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, topped with homemade whipped cream, and paired perfectly with a cup of fresh black coffee. The combination was incredible. The peach pie was a 10 out of 10, and one serving is more than enough for two people to share. This restaurant gets a whopping 9.5 out of 10. Great food, outstanding service, and an experience that reminded us why locally owned restaurants are often the best. If you're visiting Fredericksburg, Hitchin Post Steakhouse is well worth the stop. We'll definitely be back. Next up their 14oz ribeye, see y'all soon. Ernie P. read more

Servers here are polite and very fast. We got our drink and placed our orders almost right away. Nice country kitchen style and one side is a full bar. We got the dinner steak which comes with your choice of two sides and the small pates version of the chicken fried steak. It was the perfect portion size and also comes with two sides.

Local ambiance... stepping back to Wild West, Busy location. Expect to wait. Large selection for f food. Breakfast is available all day. Beer is cold and they have some features mixed drinks. Local craft beers. Waitstaff have a lot of tables but they help each other serve. Steak was mediocre. Cooked as asked but not high quality. Hash browns came burnt and they were replaced. Chicken fried steak and over easy eggs were cooked well. read more

We were a bachelorette group, got seated at separate tables but literally right next to each other. We got there around 7ish, place was a little crowded but nice. I ordered the Salmon with salad/fries & Desert oasis cocktail 10/10. The only complaint I have was I wanted more salmon My friends ordered: Steak salad 8/10, Tiger shrimp 9/10. Food was so delicious & came out quick. I would come back to this steakhouse again! read more

We stopped into the Hitchin' Post Steakhouse for a weekday lunch and it was perfect. We started with the garlic cheese curds which were so good and super flavorful. The Cast Iron Skillet Mac & Cheese was rich and comforting, definitely a must-try. I ordered the Grilled Ham & Cheese, which was simple but done really well, and my partner in crime went for the chicken fried steak and loved every bite. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the ambience was relaxed and cozy... exactly what you want for a midday stop in Fredericksburg. Highly recommend checking out their menu and giving this spot a try! read more

The food was not that great. Asked for medium rare and it came out well done. Sent it back only to be brought a different cut of meat than what we ordered and it was inedible. Pretty sure I spit out more than actually swallowed. Our waitress was wonderful. read more

First time here. Service was ok. Food was ok. My husband and I shared a chicken sandwich and the chicken was kind of rubbery. Fried pickles were breaded too thick for how thin the pickle slices were. Overall ok experience. We were in the area visiting for the day and probably won't return. Ambiance was casual and price range was average/reasonable. read more

I went to the Hitching Post recently during a Road Tour with a world class guitar player friend and his band. I was their Roadie. I got there early as I often do, with the Motorhome, to reconnoiter and get a good parking spot. The Barkeep graciously showed me to a perfect parking spot. The food was great. Staff is friendly and professional. It's pure honky-tonk. No wonder why it's a locals favorite. read more

Stopped in after walking around Main Street and visiting a couple of bars. It was close to 5:00 so not crowded but that quickly changed. The noice level was high but you could still converse without screaming. Our server recommended the Cajun mushroom which were pretty good. We then ordered the steakhouse salad and the deep fried fish. I didn't really like the steak on the salad but the rest of the salad was good. The steak was tough and had no flavor so I picked around that. The fish was cooked well but I have no idea what kind of fish it was. Lol. We had a shot of tequila and whisky plus a Coke. The service was good. It seemed like every server was genuinely personable and the other diners seemed to engage well with each. The place was clean and not packed in too tight. Got the strawberry cheesecake in the jar to go. We ended up spending about $140 with tip. It wasn't bad. read more

A solid backup, but not a place we'd plan around Like most spots in town, our first-choice restaurant had a 90-minute wait--and no reservations allowed--so we went for a walk and stumbled on The Hitchin' Post. It wasn't on our list, but with only a 5-10 minute wait, it worked as a backup. Service was quick, though not especially warm. The kitchen moved fast, too, and the food was well-prepared and tasted good. This is a very casual, country-style place, and while the location just off Main Street is convenient, the food quality didn't quite justify the price. It was fine for what it was, but we're unlikely to return unless we find ourselves in a similar pinch. read more

Cold steak - not even close to medium rare. Butter on top did not melt. "Cool center" is a common retort. Touching the steak it was cold to the touch. For a steak place big miss. The fried fish we also had was great, hot steaming and flavorful. Waitress that likes to argue - tops off a poor performance. If we try again - medium may have to be the setting. Parking down the street was good. read more

Drinks at bar were top notch and later dinner was excellent. We shared the chicken fried steak and 2 sides were salads. It was excellent.

We were seated promptly! Our server was very friendly and gave wonderful suggestions! Hubby had chicken fried steak. Unfortunately they ran out of mashed potatoes, but other than that it was good. I had salmon and rice! Excellent. We both had the jalapeno corn, which was really good. We also had the fried mushrooms which were excellent! Definitely recommend! read more

We came here to celebrate my husband's birthday dinner. We weren't impressed with the food. The steaks were lackluster and not worth the price. The meat used for my chicken fried steak was very bland. We expected a lot more, but was let down. read more

Normally we go every 2 weeks to mesquite at the warehouse, this time we wanted to try something different and head down to this place This is the most racist and condescending place in the whole Fredericksburg That was a tryout since normally we are 3 families together. We arrive and tables were available, host told us to wait to get the table ready, manager or another idiot told him something in the ear, then another family arrive and give them the table, I thought they were next in line , then another family arrive and went straight to the table I understood the sign and left So, if you are not white do not even try to ask for a table Small restaurant with a small mindset Hope other ethnic group don't show up to your place Also do not respond to my comment you idiot The one talking to the host in the ear I have seen bigger and much better restaurants go down for hiring a couple idiots read more

Food was unbelievable! Drinks, appetitizer (loaded cheese fries- amazing!) and the burgers were some of the BEST we have ever had! The Alamo burger was ridiculously fantastic and I just can't recommend it enough! Then to top it off we had some crazy good dessert (banana pudding) that was sent down from our good Father above. Great service by Brian! All in all a 5 experience! read more

We rolled into Fredericksburg in the late afternoon and after settling into our lodging, we decided to get dinner. Steak sounded good and after perusing some Yelp reviews and the local menus, we chose the Hitchin' Post. The restaurant location is not on the main drag and in a relatively unassuming building, but inside the restaurant is pretty spacious and comfortable with the dining room and bar area side by side. Although we saw a steady stream of diners headed in, we were seated quickly and our orders were taken. Dinner started with the garlic cheese curd appetizer. Served with ranch dressing, they were surprisingly delicious and at least as good as any fried curds I've eaten up in America's Dairyland. Salads came out next and were relatively unremarkable but were properly portioned and fresh. The entrees consisted of the cowboy ribeye and a filet mignon, both medium rare (the ribeye was just a touch blue but still in an acceptable range). Both were seasoned with McCormick Montreal steak spices. I like using that at home and frankly, it paired well with this incredible beef by providing a nice salty and peppery vibe without overwhelming the subtle flavors of this beef. The meat is sourced from Goodstock, part of Nolan Ryan's butchering operations and is of excellent quality, produced ethically with animal welfare in mind. The meat is flavorful, well marbled and juicy. I'm going to have to find more of this beef brand when I get back to Austin. Side dishes included green beans (good), garlic mashed potatoes (good) and a loaded baked potato (really good). Service was friendly, well-paced and attentive, despite the fact that the restaurant was pretty much slammed with the dinner rush. Prices are not inexpensive, but considering the local market as well as the quality you're getting, they're quite reasonable. Hitchin' Post is a great casual place for lunch or dinner if you're visiting Fredericksburg. Highly recommended. read more

If you're going to Hitchin' Post, make sure you spend your time at the bar--because that's where the fun ends. The bartender was an absolute gem. Quick with drinks, razor-sharp with sarcasm, and honestly hilarious. We were thoroughly entertained just watching him work while waiting for our table. If the whole dining experience had been like that, this would've been a glowing review. Sadly, it went downhill fast once we got seated. Our server showed up to take our order and then promptly vanished like she had an important meeting with thin air. We ordered steak fingers with grilled veggies, mashed potatoes, and fried okra. Let me tell you, this meal was the stuff of nightmares. The steak fingers? Rancid. I took one bite and had to spit it into my napkin. I glanced at my friend, hoping I was imagining things, only to see her wide-eyed expression mirroring mine. Nope, not my imagination. The grilled veggies tasted sour--like they'd been soaking in swamp water. The fried okra was cold (not lukewarm, not room temp--cold). The mashed potatoes were the only thing we could stomach, and even they weren't hot. What in the culinary world is going on here? We kept scanning the restaurant for our server, hoping to salvage the situation, but she was nowhere to be found. When she finally did reappear, she grabbed the plate from the edge of our table without a word and walked away. I'll take some blame for not stopping her to say something, but... really? If you're a server and you see a plate pushed to the edge, untouched except for one or two bites, wouldn't you ask if something was wrong? Or offer a to-go box? Anything? Nope, nothing. We paid our bill, shook our heads, and left--still in disbelief. On the way out, I warned a group considering going in to save their money and go elsewhere. Honestly, Fredericksburg, why is it so hard to find consistently good places to eat? So, Hitchin' Post, you get points for an awesome bartender and a hilarious pre-dinner experience, but that's about it. As for the food and service at the table? Hard pass. Do better. read more

Stopped in for Sunday lunch while in Fredericksburg. The place was pretty crowded but we only waited about 15 minutes. We started by ordering an appetizer. We wanted the fried mushrooms but they were out. The server also mentioned they were out of the quail eggs. We got the onion rings which were nice. For entrees we ordered the small chicken fried steaks. For a side, we wanted mac and cheese but they were also out of that. The chicken fried steak was pretty good and a decent size. One of sides we got were the green beans which tasted like they were from a can and unfortunately they put it on the same plate as the steaks so the steaks were swimming in bean juice. Overall this place is ok but not as good as I expected. read more

Nice spot to grab some lunch in Fredericksburg. Staff were a bit slow; which was surprising since it wasn't too busy. However, they were all nice and polite. The decor was rustic and kind of like a saloon. The fish was pretty good. I really enjoyed my meal. My sides were green beans and jalapeño corn. I'd like to give this place another visit next time I'm in town read more

This is my husband's favorite restaurant here! We have tried a variety of things! But our favorites are the cajun fried fish and cajun chicken strips. We also love the gravy, onion rings and French fries! We have ironically had the same server every time and Kyle is very attentive and phenomenal server! We are never waiting for refills or being checked on. Bring the whole family in here, all ages welcome and it's very rustic meets nicer dining! read more

Our experience on a Saturday night in May was great! The spot is right off Main St. and offers parking along the side, Main Street and the back. We waited less than 4 minutes for a table. Our server was attentive and quick. The restaurant was nicely decorated and pretty packed in, but you don't feel squashed. For appetizers we had fried pickles, which were good and tasteful. The entrees were a Dinner Steak and the big Chicken Fried Steak. My wife enjoyed the CFS, especially the gravy. The green beans were fresh and flavorful as a side. As for the dinner steak it was undercooked, but I'm not one to send things back. That's the one item keeping it from a 5 star review. Overall really good experience and I still was able to eat my steak. This location had sweet tea and coke products for those that look for that in reviews. Again, I would still recommend this steakhouse. read more

Let me tell you the BEST FOOD I HAVE EVER ATE! The service, quality of food, and atmosphere was a 10. The waiter we had was really good and I'm mad I can't remember his name! The fried pickles were fried to perfection (i.e., crispy), steak bites to die for, and the Caribbean mule..... need I say more.

My husband and I had a taste for steak and found Hutchins' Post Steakhouse. Despite stopping a few minutes before 5 pm, the place was packed. Timing is everything. Fortunately, we were seated fairly quickly. My husband ordered The Doc Holiday (ribeye steak sandwich with French fries) and I had the Steakhouse Salad but I swapped out the Feta Cheese Vinaigrette for Honey Mustard Dressing on the side. The ribeye sandwich was tender and delicious. The French fries were nice and crispy and hot. The salad had a generous amount of sliced steak cooked perfectly to order. The veggies were fresh and crispy. And the bacon was...well, BACON, what can I say. Very yummy! read more
