Rude, uneducated staff. Not much of a drink selection other than a few domestic beers. Liquor selection was terrible. Bathroom was dirty and disgusting. Only cool thing about this place is the huge chicken photo op. Take your pic and keep driving by this place. Not worth your time or money. read more

Today I had lunch with some other ladies, and our Service Dogs, at The Hitching Post in Apache Junction. We had heard the food was good, and wanted to support local business. Much to our dismay, the waitress, and then the owner came to the table advising us that no animals are allowed! The owner was quite belligerent, demanding "Proof" that the dogs are "Certified" by Pinal county. One of the ladies politely explained the rules for service dogs, and provided a card for the owner's use-which he refused,(rudely.) Even after a speaker phone call to the ADA,(American Disabilities Act Department,) he insisted proof was needed, as well as demanding to know what medical conditions the owners had to require the Service Dogs. Apparently, he has never heard of HIPA?! The owner stated he would allow us to order, and he would be researching further online, but that we would need to call first before we would be allowed entry in the future. The entire time, the dogs were quietly lying under the table. The waitress promptly brought menus, we ordered, ate and tipped her generously for her hard work and the stress caused by the owner's attitude and ignorance regarding laws and rights concerning Service animals. The food was pretty good, and I'd enjoy returning, if only the owner would respect his patrons, and their rights. Incidentally, he left his cigarettes and lighter at our table! Several times it looked as though he might light up at our table! NOT! read more

Enjoyed our time here watching the Donny Grub band. Had some wonderful fried chicken and great service by Gwen. This is a wonderful rustic cowboy bar and I highly recommend it. read more

A group of us came here today for lunch after a long hot hike in the Supes. My first time here. Really convenient location if you're coming in off the trails or just out for a day drive to take in the scenery. Lots of character (both the decor and the patrons). Our server was great, no confusion or stress over 6 separate checks. I ordered the pizza and ate the whole thing, it was that good. Fresh and hot and just the right amount of cheese and sauce. Will definitely come back soon! read more

Wow..did the waitress just light up while taking our order? ???? After having to hunt someone down!! Don't look for anything not fried!!!

Food was great. Heard there was live music at 5. Music started at about 5:25. Took a break at 5:50. Wish I could have had a job where I can take a break after 25 minutes! Music is free. Guess you get what you pay fir. read more

Okay, this place definitely has plenty of "character" within mannequins (my daughter dubbed creepy) and various old West memorabilia.. I would call it a "dive" for sure. Playing country music from the 80s and 90s and it looks like live music and plenty of dancing frequently happens here. The service was insanely, terribly slow. Some of the worst! But, the food was actually surprisingly good. The fried appetizers were nice and crisp and the pizza was good with a nice, flavorful crust. So, it's a mixed bag. If you don't gave hangry kids, you're probably fine.. read more

Just came back from having lunch here. NEVER AGAIN !! The beer was cold, so that was good. My husband's burger was just a normal frozen patty not homemade. The bun was cold. My salad was good but the waitress forgot to ask what kind of dressing I wanted. We waited15 minutes for a take-out container. We were overcharged by$2.00 for the salad. There is no trough of water for the horses. The best thing I can say is that the view of the mountains is nice. read more

Inside run down and dirty. Service was very slow to non existent. We had the pizza and frozen pizza would have been better. Chicken dinner looked amazing but had zero spice and taste. The chicken wings were the best thing of the meal. Waited for our check and see if we could get to go containers. I finally had to get up and pay. Left our food there and bill was over $70 for 3 of us. read more

This place is horrible don't waste your time or money the food tastes stale. The staff is very rude, the owners are even worse.

Long few days at the Tucson Glass Flame off. Stopped by Hitching Post for a bacon cheese burger pizza to go. Had a couple of Kiltlifters on tap while we waited. Clean and friendly with great pizza. Inside is deco'ed like an old western town theme. Even a patio with a view of the Superstitions. Again great pizza! read more

Has potential to be something far greater than it is. The service is extremely slow at best. Food takes forever.... 45 minutes for a pizza so far and still waiting! True disappointment! Love the music and bull riding. Service will prevent us from returning! read more

Chose to stop by with some friends to enjoy dinner (after raving to them about enjoying your establishment) well...that changed really quickly. We first sat out back, table close to the fire, when the gentleman came over and added ALOT more wood and stirred it, we decided to move due to the smoke and ashes. Our waitress Lanae, seemed irritated that we moved (1 table over in an open seating area) so we order... (again Waitress Lanae, seemed to really hate her job, maybe us ordering was too much for her) so we then get our food in a reasonable amount of time, but heaven forbid us ask for condiments or napkins. Well, most of us got our food, the husbands pizza was delivered to the wrong table, which Lanae never noticed that he didn't have his food (however she suggested he try it) the "Bacardi special" posted at the bar was not what you would think. The sign was wrong, so she (Lanae) literally argued and rolled her eyes when asked about it. She did say she gave a 10% off adjustment for the pizza issue, that didn't happen either. We went to pay inside and she followed us, telling us we Had to pay her, we explained that we will pay inside after we talk to the manager about the issues, she threw up her hands, argued again, said she would get the manager (which another waitress told me was her MOTHER) we paid and left I'm sure the Apple doesn't far from the tree.... WE WILL NOT GO BACK OR SUGGEST THIS PLACE TO ANYONE It is pretty sad that the staff came to us (That overheard everything) giving support to us that she is just a negative, unhappy person, that gets ALOT of complaints that they hate working with. But her mother allows it. read more

love this place, good chicken and great salads and the bands aren't bad either. awesome service. I also love the pizza!!!

If I could rate it zero stars I would. Been comming here for about three years. Close to home and can ride my horse to the restraunt. The food has always been average until lately. The chicken that used to be good has gotten tasteless and greasey. The hamburger is drie and and even after a tablespoon of mayo is still dry! The service has always been slow an unattentive. I have often had to get my own condiments and plastic ware. But today was shamefull. After walking through the dessert and ordering a $20 pizza they would not give a glass of water. They said I would have to purchase a 5 cent bottle of water from Costco for $2.00. Shame on these people for not offering good AZ hospitality! You don't withhold water from people in the dessert. never will I go back to the place. I will go down the street to Fillies Road House where you can get a complimentary water. read more

If you want to understand Apache Junction you might as well start at Hitchin' Post. The burgers are pretty good and if you like country music, two-stepping, and watching people be thrown from live bulls, you will love this place. I'm into just the burgers part. So, while I won't be back, I am glad I went there once to see what all the fuss was about. read more

Ride up in your horse, hitch it. Then go in for a beer or to watch some bull riding.

Live country music, dancing, and drinks. Plus great food options such as pizza, fried green beans, and burgers. Always a fun time!

I know you're busy so I'll make this short. I was escorted out of a restaurant/bar because I asked for a glass of water. I was offered a bottle for $2.50 when I stayed I didn't want a bottle, I just needed a glass of water the owner asked me to leave... I thought he was kidding! read more

The burgers were very good! Great atmosphere with pretty good service. All in my group enjoyed their food. Cheese curds and fried zucchini were also terrific appetizers. Didn't stay too late but it looked like it is a pretty good place to come for drinks in the evening. read more

Really bad experience. I took 4 of my out of town guests for lunch. On the way in, two of them picked up crayons and pages to color while waiting for their food. The rude waitress picked them up to return them to the stand. We said it was ok to leave them as they liked to use them while waiting. The waitress said they were for children only and not for adult use.....hmmmmm. Adult coloring books? She rudely asked if we were serious. Then she said she couldn't believe "women of your age" would use them. Grrrrrrr! She took our drink orders and left. The longer we sat, the angrier we got so we walked out. The manager said the waitress had alerted her of "OUR" problem and told us to have a nice day. Grrrrrrrr! My husband and his two friends go for lunch there at least once a week and sometimes twice. Not any more. Wow! Avoid the place. read more

We stopped by for a drink and lunch today. Five ladies 66-74 years old. Two of us like to color "adult coloring is a new thing". We picked up a few crayons and a book to color in. The female server grabbed the crayons & books off the table. She said she couldn't believe "someone your age" would ever request to color. She said, " Are you kidding me? These are for kids (no kids in the restaurant) She wiped off the dirty table on us and continued to bitch at us! We were shocked & ordered our drinks. Finally came to our senses and left. We asked her name which she refused to give us. We talked to Sue behind the bar and she wouldn't give us the waitress name either. These people were nasty acting crazed. I would like to warn you never go there! Horrible customer service, never ever been treated so poorly anywhere ! read more

Ill keep it simple regarding my visit here a few week ago. -Food was overcharged, and small proportions. -Booze was expensive. -Music was too loud, couldn't even hear the server, though DGB was awesome,though it would be nice to hear them outside. -The servers were attentive, however they were clearly short staffed. - The only reason we went in the first place was to meet the infamous BJ Beth, who by the way I wouldn't let anywhere near me with those teeth. Overall I would not waste the money, plenty of better places closer to town. read more

Food has been great wings are large and the service was good..Nobody in the place so maybe that was why we got our food so quickly ...One of our buds received his food, unfortunately it had a long hair in the French fries...Too bad as everything else was excellent.. Overall 3 Star rating . Neat place .. I would go back ! read more

Love this place!!! Always great food great service and good time!!! Ask for Terri!!! She's the best!!!

Great place and atmosphere. The only reason I dont rate 4 or 5 is because of some of the staff. I come here to get out of the house and relax. Forget about things for a bit but I constantly here about how upset they are about other staff or the owner. Most people don't care to hear about what should be happening behind the scenes. Other than that. Great food, great location and great band. read more

Always have a great time at The Hitching Post. Donnie Grubb band is amazing, service, drinks are great. Very fun atmosphere.

Went to Apache Junction to have lunch at another place but ended up here. Service was good and the food was equally as good. We sat outside under the grass hut umbrellas and enjoyed he warm AZ weather. read more

This has been the worst service I have experienced from any place I have eaten at in a long time. Didn't even stay long enough to order drinks. The staff was incredibly rude to my family. Will not be back ever again. read more

Went there last night. The place is fun to go to and the music is great. However, I had a white pizza and it was the worst pizza I have ever tasted. The crust was so thick it was like eating a loaf of bread. There was no flavor and it was horrible. I would definitely not recommend the white pizza, try a different one if your doing pizza read more

(PLEASE READ!!!) Absolutely horrible!!! This was the worst restaurant I have ever been to when it comes to service! The waitress was EXTREMELY rude and the food sucked too. We even had to get our own drinks after waiting for 20 minutes and even then the little flimsy plastic cups were half way filled. The waitress held our food up against her armpit and hair also just so that she could bring all of the trays of food without walking an extra 40 feet. We had around 12 people with us and they threw a fit when we even simply moved a 4 top table over so we could all sit together even knowing there was hardly anyone in the place and there was plenty of room. Rachel, the waitress, would almost even yell at us for doing absolutely nothing wrong. I ordered chicken wings and I waited forever until I finally asked the waitress where my food was and she made a snarky comment and said they forgot about it. After I told them I did not want them because the rest of our party was already done eating they said "no they are going to be made shortly" and would not take no for an answer. Ended up paying for a meal that I didn't even eat. Multiple people from our party have had the same complaints about their stomach hurting and having food poisoning a few hours after eating there. This restaurant should be shut down or a huge change in staff. Rachel made sure to try and be nice when she handed us our bills so she could get a nice tip after we had a large bill for gross food. She blamed the shitty service on the restaurant being "too busy" even knowing we were the only people eating there. None of us will ever be back and we will make sure to tell all of our friends too. Worst experience for lunch ever!!! read more

We decided what all the fuss about this place was like. Sorry guys, We decided to do a take out. Order the fish and my husband ordered a pizza. What a disappointment on both meals. The fish was reasonable enough, cut for what you got and it was very greasy. My husband pizza was terrible and way to over price. We will stick with skies restaurant. Oh one more thing, the waitress was great. read more

Love this place. Great food, great service, always treated like family, the owners great, the staff is quick, friendly, and always a good time!!! This place is #1 in the valley as far as I'm concerned!! read more

A group of 10 friends went to the Hitching Post this past Saturday evening to eat, drink & be merry! Both of the bands were good but the food left quite alot to be desired, unfortunately. Two of us ordered burgers medium rare and both were well done, hockey puck style. I sent mine back to the kitchen and they informed me that they were out of burgers and it was not even 7 PM!! The onion rings and french fries were awesome but it would've been nice to have an edible burger. The drinks were $5.50 each for a very small plastic cup which was primarily ice cubes. Not sure I'll ever go back. read more

Went in for lunch on Monday . Beth was our server . She was really nice and the food was great ! I would definitely recommend The Hitching Post . read more

This place is so fun!! Live bull riding, live music, great staff. Pizza is yummy!! Had lots of fun dancing and enjoying the bull riding show. read more

Regarding the Hitching Post Steak House - the steaks were okay, and the beef stroganoff was good but all you get for a steak dinner is a 12 ounce steak and a baked potato all for the price of $19.00 and then you have to pay $3.99 for a side salad (the "salad bar" was 'out of order') - we were the only people in the place - should have been my first clue....but if they want to succeed, they need to add a vegetable of the day or salad, and some breadsticks/rolls to the total price of the meal, otherwise, we won't be going back. They should even add a grilled chicken breast to the menu for people who don't eat beef or salmon. read more

Horrible service, restaurant was out of everything but wings which took over 45 minutes to get. No water after 3 requests, waitress never returned to get us more drinks. Finally got our wings which were ok, never got our check. Waitress never returned. We saw waitress cleaning tables & never came back to us. We left $$ on the table & left. Very hot inside the restaurant read more

I went to the Blues Fest on Sunday held at the Hitching Post. I ordered a 12 ounce draw of beer and was shocked when the bartender asked for $10.00. This was especially dissatisfying since the same beer served outside where the stage was set up cost $5.00. They also sold overpriced bar food of low quality. If the Hitching Post decides to host a 2nd annual blues fest, I for one will not be in attendance. read more

Lousy service. The staff mingles with the locals, ignores the rest. I reckon they don't take kindly to strangers. Cant say anything about the food, I left after waiting 15 minutes for a beer. I guess they don't want my money. read more
