Mac n Cheese Loaded Fries Burrito
Thomas A.

Food was very good, outperformed my expectations. Good quality ingredients. Service was helpful, free cups of water provided. Ambiance is good too, good music playing with a TV showing the songs.

Meh. Just ok. Went at 7pm Saturday night. Parking was tough. A few people inside, but a few were in their cars with the buzzer waiting for their orders. I ordered the #2 original. Service was fine. About 10 minutes later and I had my meal! That was reasonable for fresh fried chicken and fries. Portion size very good. Very nice sized tenders. Temp very good; Freshly fried. Meat inside was a little dry and bland. Not much flavor. Breading was a lot of spices powders applied after frying it seems like (??? not sure). Was not crispy. Imagine sticking your tongue out, sprinkling spice powders on it, retracting it, taking a bite of dry chicken tender, and chewing. Bread was fine. Brioche bun I believe. Coleslaw was fine. Sauce on the side was bland. All combined in the sandwich was ok. It was filling. Fries were ok. Some of the spice powder is applied to them. They have flavored waters but they are bland af. The tamarindo one was $6.50. At the time, they did not have bottled water. Inside the space was breezy. They have ceiling fans and portable A/C blowers going. Country music was playing on the sound system and TV. (Morgan Wallen, etc etc). Tables were clean. Well-lit. No bathroom / facilities that I could see. No handwashing. Overall, It did not convince me to go back.

Combo #2

I ordered the #2 Combo for pick up, the service was great. I arrived twenty minutes late and the male behind the register offered and basically insisted he re-do my order so I can have a fresh experience. That was something I did not expect. I didn't think to get his name. I'll be back indefinitely. Thanks Papi's Hot Chicken! PS The ambiance was fitting.

Good food, not super spicy. I enjoyed the loaded fries, the mac and cheese works. The number 2 meal seems to be the best value.

I recommend using their app for pick up if you don't like waiting as they are always super busy.

I had a magical experience at the Hitching Post (Casmalia). I ordered the Rib Eye ($68). The…read moreentree includes a tiny shrimp cocktail, salad, baked potato, garlic bread, ice cream and more. WOW! I feasted upon that juicy, thick steak. It's one of the best!! (Important: I recommend calling for a reservation because this spot fills up FAST! Thankfully, I was able to snag a reservation on the same day. Also, the cell phone internet service is bad because it's nestled in the steep hillside. Just be mindful.) I arrived at the Hitching Post (Casmalia) on Thursday (around 4:25PM). I had a reservation for 4:30PM (Opening Time). Parking felt rustic (but available) with its gravelly roads. I felt anxious since the business's spot felt like the middle of nowhere, but suddenly, huge swathes of cars arrived as it opened. Staff is very attentive, efficient, and professional. Despite the large influx of customers, Staff moved like a well-oiled machine. Without speaking, Staff would quickly appear, refill my lemonade, and vanish to their next task. The main entrees arrived within 30 minutes. As mentioned, I adored the Rib Eye ($68). It's juicy, clean meat. It reminded me of Prime Rib, but its sear/crust felt special. The chefs use an indoor barbecue pit using red oak wood, and it enhances everything! TASTY!! With each bite, it drips apart in my mouth. WOAH!! The Garlic Bread is also delightful; it's thick yet very fluffy with a friendly crunch. The Baked Potato breaks apart like butter. YUM! And the Salad is crisp with fresh croutons. Also, I selected the Vanilla Ice Cream with Chocolate Syrup, and it's BIG, cold, and THICK. It's a feast of food! On ambiance, the Hitching Post (Casmalia) is offers an upscale countryside aesthetic. There's taxidermy animal heads mounted along the walls. The location is very clean and regal. And the lighting is fairly dim. The music is very soft, and the main volume is chatter from excited groups and guests. Overall, I found unexpected magic at the Hitching Post (Casmalia). It's no wonder that it once won an award for being one of the top 10 Great BBQ Joints in the USA. I left with a fully stomach and a bright smile. If you love meat, I wholeheartedly recommend. 5 out of 5. GO!!!

Our family was out on a day trip and decided to stop in for a meal, and honestly it felt like we…read morehad won the lottery. We walked in as a party of nine not knowing what to expect. The hostess asked if we had reservations, which we didn't realize we needed since we were just winging it. Luckily, they had a party of ten that didn't show up, so we were seated immediately. That was just the start of the great experience we had. We ordered drinks and I had an excellent Old Fashioned. Shortly after, a delicious plate of sausages was brought out, and our server Guillermo took great care of us the entire time. For appetizers, the artichoke was fantastic and the half rack of ribs was perfectly cooked. For the main course, the steaks were cooked exactly right across the board -- from my ribeye to the top sirloin and New York strips at the table. Someone in our group also ordered the swordfish steak, which was perfectly cooked, nicely seasoned, and tasted amazing. What started as us walking in not knowing what to expect ended with full stomachs and a memorable meal. It was an awesome experience that I would highly recommend to anyone passing through or even making a day trip for. It was well worth the two-hour drive from Ventura.
