We recently used this restaurant's catering service for an a 40th birthday party with 45 people and ordered both chicken and steak. The food was absolutely outstanding some of the best catered food I've ever had. The chicken was flavorful, tender, and cooked perfectly, while the steak was equally impressive and received many compliments from our guests. Everyone at the event was asking where the food came from and commenting on how delicious everything was. I would highly recommend them for any catering event and will definitely use them again in the future. read more

This place is so quaint (but not stuffy). The bar area is lively and has a warm friendly vibe. Some nights they have live (quality) musicians. The meals are fresh and plentiful. The prices are very reasonable. Kind of a hidden gem for us locals. read more

This was the first time we've been here. Our server was Janet who did a good job. I had a question about the chicken tzatziki (Greek yogurt sauce) .. and she brought me a sample of the tzatziki to be sure I would enjoy my meal which was very thoughtful and smart. Well I did not like it so I ordered the chicken bruschetta and he had the fried trip of scallops, fish , and shrimp platter. Both meals were just ok. The first and always a big problem when it happens is the food DID NOT arrive hot. I usually ask that my food comes to us HOT but I totally forgot. Both dishes were just ok not great. If they were nice and hot we certainly would have enjoyed them more. It was a long ride for us so we won't be going back. Btw I did mention to the server that the food was not hot and she said she would mention it to the kitchen. It wasn't really that busy so I'm not sure why it happened as they have 2 food runners. ‍‍ read more

I will never ever go to this restaurant ever again. My family and i have been here multiple times and usually have a wonderful experience. The food has always been good. I definately dont have anything bad to say about the food. HOWEVER, the way that my family was treated will not be tolerated and everyone should know about it. We had a reservation for 6 for Easter, unfortunately the stomach bug hit my household hard and the night before easter we were all extremely sick. We had the very first seating, 2 of the party were not ill and wanted to go for brunch, so they went. Only to receive dirty looks, and glares the entire time they were there. The owner even had the nerve to print out a bill for the people who were sick and were unable to go and hand it to my son and his father. THE NERVE OF AN ESTABLISHMENT TO MAKE THEIR PATRONS FEEL GUILTY FOR BEING SICK! NEVER, EVER, EVER WILL GO BACK. iTS TRULY A SHAME. read more

I don't know what happened here. We used to love this place. Last night "not so much "! Steak tips, we're good but 1/2 the portion and same with mashed potatoes. Then order a "dinner special" not happening, swordfish, shrimp and salmon "scampi " - tasted like lemon and salt. Not to mention the swordfish way way overcooked Felt bad to complain after discussing the steak. Powered through it and paid the price later. read more

First time coming back in 25 years. I ordered the reuben. I don't know what happened but I had heartburn and upset stomach the whole next day. The servers were nice so perhaps I'll come back and try something different another time read more

The Hitching Post opened early to accommodate the 30+ ladies from my golf league for our end-of-season banquet. They had us set up in a sunny back room and I thoroughly enjoyed my Famous Turkey Dinner! Others ordered BLT salads and sandwiches and such, but I went big with turkey, taters, stuffing and butternut squash at midday. Although there was only one server, she did a yeoman's job! We did have to wait a bit at the end, but that's because they gave everyone a separate bill! Unexpected, but you know how older ladies can be! ;) Great food, great service! read more

This our second visit to the old hitching post in Hanson MA and we enjoyed everything about it. There was great service and great food. We will return for more. read more

I've been to the Hitching Post a few times. The food is always so-so and nothing to brag about, same with the drinks. My family reserved a 1p Easter brunch, showed on time however we did have a minor family emergency and 3 members of our party had to leave to check on our elderly family member. During this time our remaining party ordered their meals and drinks, while the manager came to us stressed about time we may be taking at the table - we had only been seated for 30 MINUTES at this point. Our remaining party came, ordered, and ate in what seemed like an efficient time (no time limit was given) and when we were walking out the door, our FULL PARTY after 1 hour and 47 minutes, on the way out the manager (short, older woman, gray blonde-ish hair, thin lips) proceeds to tell a group waiting for a table that our table is the one they've been waiting for, as if we've been holding it up for a hours. Wicked unprofessional. Saying a table would be ready for them in moment as one has just cleared would've been the way to go about it. Learn how to stagger your tables and times for busy holiday brunches and not rush your paying customers. If you're big on holiday Prime Ribs don't go here and they also mess up and easily made Bloody Mary, sent one back and I'm pretty sure (although not positive) it came back in a different cup and just topped off with ice. Our waitress was great though. Very friendly. She never made us feel rushed and always had a smile on. read more

Food was great service was awsum and the music was very entertaining we got there when the opened and stayed till closing

We went for a Mother's Day brunch , it was $40.00 per person. The food was okay but seemed to be pricey for mostly breakfast items not many lunch items. If you wanted chicken or prime rib that was an additional $10,00. We had the worst waitress imaginable!! When she came to our table she asked what I wanted to drink there were two other people sitting with me who she didn't ask what they would like to drink. She came back about 10 minutes later with the one drink . She said we could head up to the buffet and didn't ask again what the now 5 other people wanted to drink !! She was awful we had a spill I asked for new napkins which we ended up getting ourselves as she had family at a table and forgot we were still at our table. We had to flag down the bus girl twice in order to get drinks and the check!! I will NEVER GO BACK !! It was way too expensive for the HORRIBLE SERVICE WE GOT and the food was not worth the money at all. read more

Had lunch here on a Saturday. Seated quickly. Friendly service. Restaurant a little tired inside but seemed to add to the charm. I had a salad w walnuts cranberries sliced pear and apples blue cheese mixed greens, vinaigrette and grilled shrimp. There were only 4 medium size shrimp, expected more for the price however it was a great tasting salad. Husband had a burger he said was ok , a bit undercooked. Would definitely go back and try again different entrees. read more

WOOF. Family had a reservation for Easter and let me tell you, this was probably the worst dining experience I've had in a very long time. Our reservation was at 12. We sat down and after about 15 minutes the waitress came over and left a carafe of water which filled 4 1/2 out of our 6 small glasses. After another 15 minutes or so our drinks came out. We put our food in, which we got at about 12:55. So to summarize, about 55 minutes for food. No communication from our waitress, no apologies for the wait, no refreshed drinks, nothing. I got an elderflower wine cooler type drink which was pretty tasty, but had a whole quarter of a lemon in it. Shortly after the food comes out, the waitress walks up with dinner rolls. She said they were short on rolls (??) and that she was glad the food came out "so fast"! (????) I ordered the apricot chicken (as pictured below) which was truly inedible. I'm not joking. The veggies were not seasoned. The mashed potatoes were grey. The apricot chicken was two breaded chicken tenders with a red sauce on them. The breading color varied from a bright yellow to a brown on the bottom. You can see where I tried to cut through it - it was purely inedible. As someone who really isn't typically too picky - I put it to the side and didn't touch it. The waitress came by and began scooping up glasses, explaining that they were running out. After dinner, the fam wanted dessert. Two of them asked for the Baileys cheesecake. She stopped taking our order and went out back because she said there were only two pieces left. She came back with one piece and they fought over it (kidding - but how are you already out of dessert at 1pm on Easter)...? She took the rest of our order. I got the flourless chocolate torte which was rather unexciting - another in our party got the clearly recently defrosted tiramisu. Overall, the set up was fine. The atmosphere gave more "country kitchen" vibes then I remembered, I think it was redone. In regards to the service, when clearing the table the waitress took my full plate of barely touched food and didn't say a thing. Didn't offer anything else, didn't ask if there was an issue with it, just took it away without concern. I'm not usually one to write a negative review for a small business, but the experience was just so terrible. Before tip, the bill came to about $280 for six people for six barely edible meals, one cocktail, five sodas, and five desserts. Outrageous. Save your money. I wouldn't book a holiday here, I wouldn't book an event here, I wouldn't have lunch here. read more

The stuffed mushrooms were fantastic and the wings were great. Come and see lily and have a good time!

Ambiance was excellent for a Saturday evening with live music that was spot on and friendly service, super personable and helped me choose my entree that was delectable. I had the fried trio and my guy had the chicken Marsala that he said he never had served with potatoes before but it worked. My recommendation from our server was great and definitely didn't miss the prime rib. Cocktail was also amazing, perfectly balanced and they have Blue Moon on tap. Definitely will be back. Though they have the live band, they are super respectful of the dining experience offering seating as close or as quietly intimate as the guest prefers. read more

I've been going to the Hitching Post on and off for most of my life. I went last night with my mother the food was delicious. We started with the crab cakes, we ate them both so quick I couldn't get a picture but they were DELICIOUS! A great amount of crab and the aioli with them were perfect. Mom got the chicken saltimbocca and was able to sub gluten free pasta. It was very good and I couldn't help but steal a few bites. I had the Turkey Tetrazinni special and it was delicious. I had more than enough for dinner there and lunch the next day. I would suggest slightly less butter in the sauce, but would absolutely order it again. You have to get the crab cakes when you go! read more

Great Mother's Day at Olde hitching. We were very lucky where we showed up without reservations. The restaurant was closing early for a private party but still took us in last minute. Despite the circumstance they served us with smiling faces and the utmost kindness. Our server was so sweet and didn't make us feel like we were keeping her there later than expected. The food was great. I split the salmon entree with my daughter it was cooked perfectly and very very good ! read more

I have lived in Hanson for 30 years and I have been coming to the hitching post on and off over the years. A new owner took over the place about 2 years ago. I have experienced the food not being good for about the last year. But it's close and convenient so I try to buy local. Tonight my wife and I came back. I have to say the food was amazing. I guess I can't quit on a small business. I hope they can keep up the good work. I know owning a restaurant is a hard job. On another note the people who own The hitching post have a deli in pembroke that is always good. Fork in the road. read more

HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND! This restaurant is the definition of top tier service and food. Me and a friend were desperately searching for a patio to sit on and drink/enjoy a nice meal. After going to a couple local spots to find their patios were closed, I decided to call the Olde Hitching post (I had never been prior!) the woman on the phone explained to us that they were getting new patio furniture but would go to storage and get one of the old tables and chairs so we could sit on the patio! This was so above and beyond + the food was INCREDIBLE!!!!!! Highly recommend the Olde Hitching Post, and thank you to the awesome staff again for setting us up on the patio!!!!! read more

Pork Chop - cooked like Shake and Bake. Staff were nice. The restaurant looks tired. The food was eh!

We dined here on October 21st as part of a group of about 22. The service and the food were top notch. Everyone had a huge variety of dinners and desserts and not one complaint from anyone. We were very impressed and will definitely be back. We had the Mediterranean Salmon and the whole belly fried clams. The tiramisu we shared was yummy! read more

Ambiance and service were exceptional. Great, quality dishes which were reasonably priced.

Gourmet style food served in an upscale tavern like atmosphere. Servers and bartenders are pleasant and on top of everything.

I discovered the Olde Hitching Post after seeing it on an episode from Gordon Ramsey's, "Kitchen Nightmares." This is by far one of the best restaurants I have been to in Massachusetts! The service is great. The staff is very friendly, kind, attentive and truly one of a kind. The food has by far exceeding my expectations. The best comfort food you will find in all of Plymouth county. I was very impressed and so happy that I visited this restaurant. I will definitely be coming back!! read more

First time posting and reviewing a restaurant, but I just feel the need to. My wife and I very much enjoy the food and the atmosphere at The Hitching post. we go at least 3 times a month .. the only turn-off is the blonde bartender, she is rude and has no personality. Whatsoever you can tell, she hates her Job unfortunately she takes away from a good experience!!!! Hopefully, the new owner will identify this and correct it. Honestly, she takes a 10 and brings it to a 5 read more

New Ownership does not make you feel welcome the food is just average at a High price be careful the menu price doesn't always reflect the bill amount. Staff seemed overwhelmed and not as considerate as I would expect. I have been a longtime customer of the restaurant always a good experience under old ownership will not be returning. read more

Went for dinner with my mother and aunt for a local dinner it was very good. We walked in and the two host were very friendly, waitress was nice, drinks were good food was very good !! Will def be back ! read more

Had a terrible dinner from here tonight. The new management might want to get new cooks? I had the butternut squash ravioli and I had two bites. It was so icky sweet! We ordered takeout and I ended up being sent home without the dessert. They credited me without issue but never even apologized. Crap food and customer service. Been coming here for years but not again. Waste of $50 read more

After getting takeout here on a whim, we decided to go back and celebrate our son graduating high school. The hostess was very nice, she sat us right away. The food was tasteful and we all enjoyed our meals. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because we were sat at a table right outside the kitchen door and could hear employees arguing. We were literally the only party there right when they opened so we could have been sat elsewhere. I had meatloaf, my husband and the kids all had sandwiches and fries. I will definitely get takeout again. The macaroni and cheese with pulled pork or brisket was so good. read more

My wife and I stopped in for dinner this evening. Have never been in before but boy, was I missing out. The food was fantastic. The bartender/ server Amy was great and Dan from the kitchen stopped by to see how we were doing! Can't wait to come back and try something else scrumptious! read more

This has been my favorite restaurant ever since moving to Hanson. I don't think I've had a dish that I didn't like yet and the owner is always so very sweet. My favorite lunch and dinner option is the honey Buffalo tenders or the pilgrim Pride sandwich. I also suggest their breakfast options, especially the French toast. The only reason this place is not getting five stars for me is because of one particular waitress we've consistently had issues with every time we've gone while she's there. She has a habit of taking your order, bringing your food and then giving you your bill without ever checking to see if anything is wrong, if you need a refill or anything else. I have complained about this in the past, unfortunately she hasn't changed her bad habits. We simply try to go when she isn't there now. Anyway, if you're looking for great food, a great atmosphere an mostly good service I highly suggest this restaurant. read more

Old Hitching Post Tucked away in the little town of Hanson, this family owned restaurant has been serving up casual fare since the 60's when it started as a roadside food stop according to a photo inside the front door. This is straight out good food, we usually sit in the Tavern section mostly because we enjoy the casual atmosphere. The main dining room has both comfortable booths as well as the ability to accommodate large groups at tables. We met friends at OHP on a weekday night and were pleasantly surprised to see a steady stream of diners. In fact there was barely a seat at the large bar. Our server/Bartender was very friendly, we started with some wine, beer and the house sangria. The beer list has 7 or 8 selections with everything from Hazy little thing from Sierra Nevada to Guinness Stout, Hazy little thing it was for me! Herb Crusted Haddock ---BORING. actually No!! If you like fish as I do, this was spectacular!! The Herb crusting played second fiddle to the perfectly cooked large portion of flaky Haddock. The special came with two sides, if I was dining with the guys, I'd have got the fries and the fries, but opted for Rice and butternut squash, honestly both were very good. I ate all the rice, my better half ate all the squash! Others in our party had the BLT salad and as a Bacon affectionato she was very happy with her choice, due to the size of the salad, most went home with her! Diner 2 had the Mediterranean salad with salmon which was an authentic salad with real Kalamata olives ( this is key!) and feta perfectly dressed, that plate went back empty!! They really did a great job here, this could easily be our "Goto" restaurant. The prices are reasonable and the service and food were excellent! It's worth the trip off the beaten path to check out OHP, it's unpretentious, comfortable, friendly and delicious. Sorry for the lack of pictures, but the salad looked like salad and the Fish looked like fish! I didn't want to be the guy with his phone out taking pictures! read more

I really do not understand why old ratings on a restaurant can not be outdated. It doesn't seem fair to the business. It's obvious that most of the reviews I am seeing rate this place highly and I plan on going this week. Hopefully I won't forget to post pictures. read more

Had a wonderful baby shower at the Olde Hitching Post. Highly recommend this restaurant. The service and food was amazing.

My husband and I have enjoyed many meals here. They have a lovely dining room and if you are looking for something a little more casual they also have a tavern area. For those who want to dine outside,they also have a deck and patio area. The staff are friendly without being overbearing. Their menu is diverse with options sure to please nearly every palate and they have daily specials featuring many seasonal and chef specialties. Tonight we ordered food to go. My husband had the chicken Marsala over mashed potatoes and I had the Aegean scallops on a bed of roasted potatoes, sautéed spinach and cherry tomatoes. Both dishes were sublime. read more

I love the live music! Old country feel, big portions, sorry, enjoyed eating, and forgot to take pics. Wait staff was great. Yes I will go again! read more

Came here for dinner because my friend had a gift certificate, So glad she did because everything was great! Our server was really nice, and helpful- everything we had was super tasty. I had the carbonara and my friend had the gnocchi. We were both raving about our meals! Most definitely coming back, and this place deserves more credit and way more starts!! read more

Nice atmosphere. Great steak tips and good selections. Heard it's the same owner as Fork in the Road (love their sandwiches) and Somewhere Else Tavern. read more

This has the BEST COMFORT FOOD on the entire South Shore. My Fave is the Grilled Maple Meatloaf which is so fantastic that I never try anything else! (Once I had a DELISH TURKEY Dinner with all the Trimmings - as fantastic) My review is from my Husband and me since he always switches it up. They have EVERYTHING. Meat, Chicken, Pasta, Seafood, Burgers and Vegetarian Meals. I don't cook Fish so he gets his fill from here. They serve Rolls with Cinnamon Butter ! We mostly do Take Out on a Friday or Saturday Night when no one feels like cooking. Our meal is packed very well that it's still HOT when we get home. You will never be disappointed!! read more
