AVOID AT ALL COSTS. One star for our waitress, Alaisha- who was kind and hustling. She came out to greet us (after a long wait) and we were told dogs were not allowed except for service animals. Yes- I have filed a civil rights complaint with the ADA. Our dog is a small dog, and she was doing her job as I was experiencing anxiety from the Ghost town gun fight show we encountered at Gold Field up the road- and so I was doing breath work with the animal- which is completely within my rights according to the FEDERAL law of the ADA. Alaisha said, "ok I'll be back with your menus" and we waited another 10 minutes as I did not feel comfortable enough yet to do more traveling. After another 10 minutes- this old, nasty, aggressive, rude woman said "we don't allow dogs. Is this a service animal or emotional support animal?" And I said, "both. She's a psychiatric service animal." And she said, "your dog isn't a service animal. If it were, it would have a vest on and be on the ground doing its job. Our owner does not allow fake service animals because one time a fake service animal bit someone." And to be clear- my service animal was on my lap, and there was another large service animal on the opposite side of the table we were at, and THAT dog growled at our dog, who did NOT react. I was in such shock I asked if we put her in the car, could we please stay and get some drinks and menus. She said, "I guess if that's what you want to do, but you can't stay here with your fake service animal." AGAIN- I was in too much shock, needed to take a moment and I just said "well get drinks and leave, if we ever get menus, we've been here a really long time." And she snapped back, "you've been waiting here because we were discussing your fake service dog and dealing with that." She was VILE. The place was PACKED with old people- who were having a great time. Alaisha came out with our menus after we put the dog in the car (it was 53° outside, so no hot car issues) and apologized, and I said it's not your fault- we'll just get drinks and an appetizer. Drinks came out and were fine, we ordered breaded mushrooms, they were fine. It was only while we were waiting that we checked Yelp and saw how many other people and their service animals have had issues with this place! We stopped here because it was the closest place to our destination for the day, we were excited as it looked like a cool little spot. Holy cow were we WRONG. This place is going to really go down in flames if they don't get on Bar Rescue or something because the owner sounds like a terrible human, and it looks like their best customers aren't going to be around much longer to "enjoy" whatever the heck this place is trying to be. I'm disgusted and I hope he gets SMACKED with a civil lawsuit. By the way- according to the FEDERAL LAW- service animals do NOT require a "vest" or ANY identification/documentation, (even though our dog has a "SERVICE ANIMAL" badge on their leash vest?!?), our dog can be on our laps as she is a small dog who was doing her job, which is ALSO the law. AVOID. read more

amazing! Tina and Rollie are amazing people. Food is great atmosphere is so fun. can't wait to come back !

Would not give us any water to drink .....wanted to charge our table $2 a bottle for water for the six of us...... $12 for water... Head over to the rusty Buckle, or the Dutchman barbecue, much friendlier people, much better service, much better pricing. AND NO CHARGE FOR A GLASS OF WATER read more

The wings Mo Crack were my favorite and haven't had good wings in a long minute. They were served hot and fresh with the right amount of seasoning. Great little spot to stop in at. read more

Ambiance great! Server great! Owner/Manager rude disrespectful! The way he spoke and treated myself and 3 other woman was mind blowing!!! His customer service skills are non existent. He should just stay in his office. I believe he even embarrassed the server. This place used to be my "go to" after hiking. Rusty Buckle will be from now on. read more

Live music patio amazing food and libations great. Prices very reasonable. Staff on point! Enjoy. A must for visitors.

If you are looking for a small town western themed bar, then look no further! They have great seating indoor and outdoors. The service can be a little slower on busier nights, but the broasted wings are worth the wait! This is definitely not a fancy place for more upscale cocktails or food, but boy is it tasty! I tend to have a more refined palate, but I do love this place on occasion. Definitely worth a visit if you are traveling down to canyon lake or find yourself in the area. read more

The owner tried to sit 2 random ladies at our table before we were done. Who does that? What a rude thing to do. Then we get our bill with two amounts due, cash $ and credit card $. We try and pay with 100$ and the waitress didn't have change. So we paid more because she wouldn't get change, so there went her tip. What a bad experience ! Won't be back. read more

The Hitching Post is NOT dog friendly. We took our Frenchie there and were told the "they do NOT ALLOW Dogs!" They were rude about this notice as well. We'll never go back.

Tried to go watch bull riding at Hitching Post Saloon but they refused service because I had sterling, my ADA service dog. Guess they don't support veterans that have service animals. When I told the owner what the laws are, she said she didn't give a shit. Well apparently they are not aware about the laws that are very clear from the ADA. read more

Just witness the owner deny service to a party of 6 service on the patio that had a service dog with them. The animal was well behaved with service vest and license displayed. When we confronted him about this he was very proud that he has had 3 law suits over this mater and has won all three. I under stand it is an owners right to refuse service for any reason but it is also the publics right to not patronize an establishment that does not support what they believe in. Payed my bill and left immediately. To the owner, don't worry I will never be back! read more

Cool Cowboy Country Dive Bar. Good Grub. Good beer and booze. Lively vibe. Good live music. It is a honky-tonk kind-a-place decorated country & cowboy all over the space, up and down the walls up to the ceilings. Every nook and cranny covered with cowboy and mining stuff in the heart of the Superstition Mountains. The largest moose head - ever I have seen - hanging high on the wall and I have seen moose in Yellowstone. Gives it - it's charm! Place packed out, not a seat in the bar at 6:30 PM on Thursday. One man band is playing an accordion or keyboards loved by lots of locals doing the polka or 2-step - before my time. There is a line dance song. Lots of older than senior folks on this night. We did a thin crust white pizza which was cooked just right, toppings delish, but crust a little over cooked. Four Peaks local IPA right on delish, bitter, west coast style. Friendly crowd around! Great service! Good time was had by all! read more

I don't recommend this place for any event. It's poorly organized and the service is one of the worst I've encountered. They lie to you about what you're paying for. They only accept cash for food and drinks, and the single ATM was broken. Who doesn't take cards these days? The place was overcrowded and dirty, resembling a trailer park. There were long lines for bathrooms and everything. I've never written a review saying do not come or I will never return until now. read more

Stopped in hoping to get a quick bite after hiking with my daughter. We sat on the patio because there was a nice view and the inside felt more like a bar atmosphere (dinner time on a Thursday) . Ordered our food a little after 6:30 and waited almost an hour and a half before giving up. I understand that kitchens get backed up sometimes, but it would have been helpful if our waitress had given me a heads up that it would be over an hour wait to get served. I would not take a kid here again. Even though they have lawn games and such, it definitely felt more like a bar than a family restaurant (people smoking outside, etc). I would have toughed it out if it were just me, but the kid was beyond hangry and cold. I gave them a couple stars because it's in a nice location. Also, the people at the next table were super kind and offered us their leftover appetizers, so shoutout to them for unexpected kindness. read more

Pizza was mostly crust with very little meat. The place is super dirty and the salt and pepper shakers had years of crud dryed on them. High priced food and drinks in a a place that should be shut down and condemned read more

My family and I went for lunch. Food was average but a little over priced for what you get. The most annoying was asking for water was given a cheaper bottle of water for $2. I ask for tap water but was told they don't have it. Really what restaurant don't have tap water? A small plastic cup of Coke that was packed with ice for $3 and no refills. Yes I know it's a bar but during lunch service you can at least serve tap water and not serve Coke like it's a Friday night with a band playing. I do not recommend this place and we will not be back read more

The staff is absolutely insanely rude. I get yall are busy, but your job is to serve people, so maybe smile and be polite?? And using the excuse you're busy doesn't really help. And don't even try calling them! They're rude to your face, but 100x more rude over the phone. You have to call back multiple times on different days to get any ounce of help. I've gotten the excuse "I'm covering for someone right now so I don't know how to help you. Call back later". Wow. Really professional! And I've also gotten "I'm really busy right now so I can't help you. Call back later." Why always trying to get me to call back later? How is that customer service? read more

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. NOT A FAMILY ENVIRONMENT. Trashy, rude, & unprofessional! Poor excuse of a wait staff. WRONGFULLY accused my family of "walking out on a tab" saying they had video footage and threatened to call the police, gossiped with each other LOUDLY talking sh*t about my family in front of guests, and other employees. Then when they were called out on their FALSE/made up accusation, & we asked to see these "tapes" of us walking out....they of course had nothing, and tried to switch the accusation around & treated us as if we were the ones making a big deal after they had embarrassed all of us over NOTHING. No one apologized or offered any type of compensation. Owners actually stood by and let the staff make fun of us "for showing our faces again" mistaking us for someone who had apparently dined and dashed MONTHS prior? Not my problem Mo and Tina ( the owners ) could use a Dummies book on how to run their business because according to their other reviews, this isn't the first issue they've had with complaints on how rude and nasty their staff is. Something tells me the owners have the same personality lol. Seems to be a repetitive issue. Don't waste your money, they also charge for refills on waters and sodas & will nickel and dime you every they can. read more

Very rude waitresses. Camping nearby stopped by for dinner and sat outside. The waitress literally walked up and rolled her eyes at us! We just sat down, no idea why she was hostile. There were 5 of us, we sat at a table for 6, including my disabled sister. She is autistic and suffers from seizures and requires a service dog. I think our family isn't cool enough for this establishment, lol! Next waitress who's wearing those cheap, extremely long, fake eyelashes stop by and guess she couldn't read the service dog's vest and ID attached and said they only allowed service animals... ummmm ya... that's why the dog is sitting next to the lady who is clearly handicapped! We showed the identification even though it's against the law (ADA 1990) to ask. She said she asked her manager and he said he doesn't care you have to leave! After we were ejected openly told so because of our handicap sister, we read all the bad reviews. I slipped, should've checked Yelp! first as we wouldn't have stopped there, as bad food and rude service isn't our thing. Yes, Dept of Justice report has been filed. What makes these servers & manager working a dead-end job think they're superior to someone born with a handicap? Karma is a b... read more

Fun place and great food and service. Always good otget off the "beaten track"...................

Fun Friday night with entertainment. This was our first time and it was a good experience. The band was really good. The food was decent. Tip: Bring cash - they charge a fee to use cards. The cheese curds were amazing...I really wanted more. Thin breaded and fried. I had the fish and chips which was okay. The fries were actually the best part. The cod was good - thin breading and fried - but nothing special. My friend had the taco pizza. The crust was light, the "sauce" was refried beans, the toppings were taco fillings including seasoned taco meat. Only weird part was the Hot sauce on the side wasn't a salsa-style sauce. Overall it was a fun experience. I would go back and try the pizza next time. read more

We stopped by on Saturday afternoon for a drink and a bite to eat. We sat outside on the front patio, there's a small table in the very front of the patio, which gave us more space and privacy. We ordered wings and I had 7 & 7 while my wife had beer. The service was good, the only issue we had is the front patio and back patios are both smoking and there's plenty of people smoking. There was a live band getting ready to play but we left around 6:15, this is a very popular place so timing will be important. read more

Been here many times. As a Veteran with a Disabled Veteran husband we love that this place always honors the USA! The food is good and The beer is cold. Love the patio upgrade. The service is great. It can get busy but the the staff does a good job of keeping up. If you want a real treat check out the Live Bull Riding and Mutton busting on Thursday and Saturday nights. Great family fun! read more

I've been in the AJ area off and on since 1969. There's been times I have enjoyed The Hitching Post. In the last 2 months I've taken friends from out of town and we all have been quite disappointed with the food and mainly the wings, broasted and fried. Which has been undercooked, even though being asked to be extra crispy. "Marie" was our waitress twice and both times her service was terrible! It's very apparent she doesn't like waiting on "old people." She took our order and never show up again. Two other people did, bringing us a second drink. I had to speak loudly to ask for our check as Marie just kept walking by. She received 0 tip. We're all good tippers, but we all agreed, she didn't deserve anything. Needless to say, because of the bad service and undercooked food, I'm not returning. Sad to say, you have lost a long time customer. read more

This is a very interesting place, to put it lightly. It definitely represents the spirit of the area, down to the the horses sometimes "parked" outside. The service has always been great when I've been there. Sometimes the kitchen is a little backed up (especially during busy weekends), but the friendliness always makes up for it. The food is surprisingly not bad, although I imagine everyone comes for the atmosphere and the entertainment. Besides - where else can you eat inside a covered wagon?! read more

I love this place!! Hubby and I took a nice Sunday Harley ride up here the other day to enjoy not only the ride, a great atmosphere as well with awesome food! It was hot, we were hungry and ready for a cold one. Hubby's got the chicken gizzards (weird, I know) he loved them! I got chicken a salad because I'm boring, it was really good though. Super fun atmosphere, amazing owner! I used the men's bathroom (on accident) and the owner and my hubby just laughed at me when I came out, lol. You can your motorcycle here, your SxS, your horse, ride a bull and listen to live music on the weekends....or just drive a car, truck or SUC and you will fit in with everyone else and I'm sure you will have a great meal, great service and make sure to check out the patio and outdoor bar :) read more

We took some friends here for lunch and were horrified and embarrassed by the service and food! We first sat in a fairly shaded spot,but were told we had to move because the area behind the table was under "repair ". Not even 5 minutes later, they allowed another group to sit there. We ordered our food, sat in the hot sun with no shade, waited almost 20+ min for it, and some of us got our meals. We asked our server where the rest of our order was (a pizza) and she told us she wasn't sure,but perhaps they burned it and would put in another request. Half an hour later, we were all done our meals and it still wasn't ready. I told them to box it up and the least they could do was comp the meal! She brought it out 10 min later and said we still had to pay for it because "you don't get anything for free"! When I asked to speak to the manager, our waitress told us she was too busy and that we shouldn't bother her! Apparently, our server was also one of the most senior servers there... The food we did get was mediocre at best. Youcan be sure we will never go there or recommend it to anyone again! By far the worst experience we have ever had anywhere in the world!! Marie was our server and for the first time ever, we left zero tip! read more

Once, my favorite location, now the worst. Used to be able to grab a beer for $1.50. now they nickel and dime you to death! We bought a hamburger and was charged extra for using a credit card to pay, we were charged extra for an extra plate. We were charged an outrageous price for 4 oz glass of wine. We were not told this beforehand. Also, they usually have a house band which was excellent, and the day we went (weekend evening) they had a high school kids band playing in front of 50 to 70 year olds. They were okay but it was just weird seeing kids playing in a place like this. The food has never been great but it's been okay but never ever again will we go there and that is a shame because it was my favorite spot to go. read more
