Walt's Hitching Post

In a word: delicious. The folks who run this restaurant are so nice. I called on a Friday midday hoping to get a table for nine...yes nine!....the next day on Saturday. They did some checking and called me back with a 7pm reservation. Wow.Our group was seated in one of the back rooms. Very quiet and very nice. Our waiters were very attentive and informative. The primary waiter pointed out specials, new items on the menu, etc. very helpful.The food was delicious. OK....the rye bread is special. It's tough not to eat so much of it and ruin your meal. I got the ribeye with scallops special. Melt in your mouth tender. Everyone at the table got a steak...filets, ribeyes, etc. All cooked to perfection.The waitstaff was attentive but not hovering. They all seemed to anticipate a need and then fill it. Great job!!!PS. Go ahead....try their house Manhattan. It's good!

Man, hate to write this. I've tried this so many times and just hasn't been good compared to the price point. Better than Outback but not almost ruby prices. Place is typically busy, I guess for the rye bread. Which is delicious!! Service was ok, nice waiter, back up guy didn't do much. They were busy this last time so I give extra points for that. Crab cake was super fishy. Cauliflower wings, on point. May be my favorite dish of nightSteak over cooked but flavor pretty good. Green beans as well yum. Only east coast oysters that night so didn't try. I'll go back if my family wants to but wouldn't do it on my own.

The bread is freaking amazing. The rest of the menu goes uphill from there.. Second visit to Walt's and it was just as good as my first go around. Can't go wrong with any steak here. Everything was really delicious.Only negative is that this place is always crowded and kinda loud.

I visited with great anticipation, haven't treated myself for quite some time. The ambiance was amazing, felt like a nice supper club up in Wisconsin. The Manhattan was fabulous, as was the bartender.Ordered escargot, it was good, not the best I've had, but no complaints (loved the artichoke hearts in with the snails)Got a 10oz filet, with bernaise. My fatal error... I ordered it medium instead of my usual medium rare, wasn't feeling bloody. Well it was past medium (I didn't complain) , but still delicious. The rye bread was fabulous!Go for sure, but don't second guess yourself go Medium Rare!

Service was terrific tonight! It is always hustling and bustling with folks, so if you're looking for a really quiet dining experience, this isn't it. ;) However, the steak, cornbread, and potatoes are super tasty, so give it a try! Plus, they make a wonderful key lime pie (more fluffy, less dense than a typical one). My all time fave is the peanut butter pie! The sweet potato soufflé is lacking in flavor, and the green beans aren't a pick of mine. I feel some brown sugar and pecans or marshmallows would be perfect. And the green beans are just way too soft for my palate. Filet is always perfect, as is the strip steak. And the garlic butter topping is a delicious choice!!! Please give this local fave a try!

We came here for a birthday celebration and the food did not disappoint. Walt's has such a unique atmosphere for a dining experience, it is great! Our server was so knowledgeable about the menu and gave us great recommendations- we actually ordered the special they had of the bison filet and 2 scallops/ and they pre-split it for us on two separate dishes since we were sharing. Everything we got was amazing! From the drinks to the crab cake appetizer to the entrees. Would love to come back and get something new!

All in all a decent experience. Food and service was above average. Steaks were cooked correctly. Shrimp cocktail was tasty albeit not thoroughly cleaned. Really our only complaint is in the ambiance. We visited on a Saturday evening and it was akin to being at a really crowded loud college bar.

The ribs and chicken are awful - ribs taste like a grandmas who think Open Pit BBQ sauce is to spicy. And the fried chicken is flavorless - better off getting a Four Piece at Lees Famous Recipe. The rye bread is good though.

So, my friend told me we were going to Walt's Hitching Post for dinner and not to dress up. I figured we were heading into a dive.Was I surprised. It's more of a dinner club than a dive. It reminds me of Keeneland Race track, with stone walls and lots of wood. And horse photos everywhere. And there is live music every night of the week! Why didn't I know about this before?Food is good. Think ribs and steaks kinda place. Manly food. And a well stocked bar. All the Kentucky bourbons. Color me happy.I had a crab cake and it wasn't full of filler! In Kentucky no less. Boyfriend had ribs, cause he eats more than I do. Naturally.Prices were reasonable...at least I think they were. If my memory is correct...I wasn't paying. But I would be happy to, cause it was a really nice surprise.

The food was shitty. The service was slow and the food came out cold. The environment was awful. Also, hella pubes in me Mac n cheese.
