Reviews for Hitching Post Restaurant in Abilene, KS

This place had multiple items that would normally cause me to lower the rating, but overall was a five star experience. We had... called ahead to make sure they were open, but then arrived at the same time another customer was walking away because all of thedoors were locked. Finally realized the open door is on the side away from the Handicapped parking. We entered and were seatedby someone who continued to show evidence that she did not know the basics of how the restaurant was to be run, but she washelpful. Just clueless. On Friday night, they offer a prime rib dinner for $25+ or a buffet for $17. We had the buffet, whichconsists of a salad bar (with spring mix instead of iceberg) and a hot bar totaling 19 items. My hubby enjoyed four of theall-you-can-eat steaks. I tried the fish. We were also offered baked potatoes and dinner rolls, which really helped, since myteeth don't allow me to enjoy the steaks. It's really very economical, if you can enjoy steak. Our waitress did not show upuntil we were well into our meal, but another server stepped in and did a great job doubling up. Like I said, individually, manyof these things would have been 4 stars. But all together, it was a five star dinner, and we would return. Read more

Usually the food is good, this time it was much to be desired, had the buffet and everything was over done, won't do that again.... When we ordered off the menu all was Good. Read more

Sat down immediately but didn't see a server for 30 minutes. Took an hour to order and 30 more minutes to receive our meal. ... Once they brought it to us, it was wrong.(wanted fried catfish, served grilled) They offered to replace it but I didn't want towait longer. It was better than expected (garlic and butter soaked). The brown gravy on my wife's chicken fried steak was sosalty it was unedible. The highlight of the meal was the salad, fresh and delicious. Highly recommend if you have 3hrs tospend and don't care about getting what you ordered. They did comp our meal so we appreciated that and may try again if Mr. Ksdoesn't open back up..... Read more

We had both a breakfast and dinner at this restaurant in "Old Abilene Town". The food was wonderful! Hot and fresh. Service... was just great also. The menu offers a wide variety, so don't hesitate to eat here. You won't be disappointed Read more

I'd love to be able to comment on the food, but I waited 15 minutes to be seated while the staff flapped their jaws. Multiple... other people showed up and left due to the lack of service while I waited. I was trying to give them the benefit of thedoubt. Indeed, this was the Hitching Post in Abilene. I even peeked around the corner into the other room where I was seen andpromptly ignored. Meanwhile, as soon as I got back to my car someone was outside watering flowers. So yeah, bad service, and Ivery much know where I was, thanks. As I said, I'm not the only one who walked in, waited and then left. And no. It's not "seatyourself". There's very clearly a sign when you go in that says, "Please wait to be seated". The menus are even up at the hosts'station.???? Read more

Fun local town restaurant with a nice selection of items, including a salad bar. Friendly staff and home cooking recipes. ... Nice place to try if you are passing through town! Read more

Felt like getting out and going somewhere different. Family run joint that is keeping the doors open in this crazy time. Buffet... Friday with chicken fried steak. Hand breaded and some of the best gravy, don't think I've had a smoother or creamier gravy. Youguys call me if you dump sausage in and have homemade biscuits for breakfast. Read more

The food was alright. We ate the specials. It came with a drink and dessert but the server did not tell us, we had to read it... off the board when we were almost done with our meal. I got water not knowing until then about drink. By the time we asked, thelast piece of cheesecake was sold and they were making strawberry shortcake which was dry and came with 5 slices of strawberriesand a drop of whipped cream. Wasn?t impressed with the service but they were nice. We were there at one to get something to eatbefore train ride. We didn?t know they closed from 2-5. Read more
