Here, on the Central Coast of California, BBQ has always meant grilling over an open fire of red oak, a style of cooking that is native to our area and goes back to the days of the Spanish Rancheros. By combining the old and the new, we have created an exciting cuisine with outstanding steaks, ribs and chicken, along with fresh fish and seafood and vegetarian options. We also create our own (world class) wines for sale in the restaurant and to the public. Hartley Ostini Hitching Post Wines have garnered an excellent reputation. Try them here or purchase on our website for your enjoyment at home.

Hitching Post II is well worth a visit. The wood grilled steaks were excellent and prepared pretty much exactly according to the cooking chart in the menu. Service was very friendly and appropriately attentive. We plan to go again.

My bf and I came here as it was recommended by one of the locals. We ordered the Burrata salad, mussels, miso cod and sea urchin pasta. Our favorite hands down is the mussels! We also enjoyed their panna cotta passion fruit flavor and to top that off the restaurant included a complimentary chocolate dessert for our anniversary. Overall, the quality of the food was top notch. Would def come back here again!

The food was delicious. The ambiance with the fireplaces and the building is really cool. The service impeccable. The hostess gave us a tour of the premise (the attached coffee shop and a little history of the building). Great dinner, will return.
