Hitching Post

Had a lunch here on our way out of town. We both had burgers and fries and everything was very average and kind of tasteless. Food also took FOREVER. Staff was nice and apologetic for the wait.

We went here after searching for food. The service was really friendly and great. We even liked the fries which is a good way to gauge food we found. Most of us had burgers. This is a great beer and whiskey place. Don't go for wine.

So I have never been to this town and was here on a work trip and needed to find a place to eat on a Tuesday night. However almost ALL places are closed on Tuesday it was wild. This bar was open and I was excited cause I love a food dive experience! Walked in and it's like a book as the outside does not do Justice for how welcoming and cozy the inside is. I got the burger and some draft beer and enjoyed my time while I was there! Only bummer is it closes at 8:30pm on Tuesday's, so don't expect to close the bar down! But they do open back up at 6:30am the next day.

I'm glad this bar is operating during COVID. All precautions were in place. We ordered the reuben and a cheeseburger, both of which were just excellent. Fries were delicious. Beer was cold. TVs were on & working, bathrooms were spotless, & service was just perfect. Kindly note that I consider this a dive bar, the decor is dated & not fancy. However, food & service were A+, & we will be back.

It's not a date spot (unless you want to play some pool or Ms Pac Man and drink cold beer), it's not a brew pub (but they have a delicious and eclectic beer menu), and it's not an ambiance-centric space (but yet, it actually IS!). You see, the Hitching Post has a lot of not's that can be attributed to it, but that's not (lol) the point of this place. It's what it IS that's important. And what it is, is exactly what a tired traveler driving from Michigan back to NYC wants--smack dab in the middle of the journey (actually a little closer to NYC, miles-wise, but who's counting)!The 2 times I experienced the Hitching Post were on the aforementioned drives. The first time stumbling upon it was a welcomed "fluke," but the second time (this past weekend), based on my first visit, it had become my destination, and rightfully so. Sure the bartender takes your food order, and the hum of the lights from the take-out-beer-coolers that make up the back wall of the bar area are not "ideal lighting;" and it's noisy, and it's vibe-y, and it can possibly be a little intimidating at first, but DAMN... IF THIS PLACE DOESN'T HAVE THE BEST WINGS I HAVE EVER EATEN THEN I HAVE NEVER EATEN THEM AT ALL. Do yourself a favor and stop in here the next time you are driving east or west along I80, stay at the Best Western (practically next door), and order a cold beer and the hot wings with garlic and butter sauce--the others are good, but this is the money-maker.

Dive bar...no AC it was 100 in there. Wings were ok atmosphere ok..seems like a good night bar when weather is cooler

Live music, good wings, fun atmosphere. I liked the games and things they had to do as well as the friendly staff.

Loved the Hitching Post! The food and service were wonderful and it had a warm, cozy atmosphere. We were in DuBois overnight on a bus tour, I left my purse on the back of the chair and didn't realize it until the next morning just before the bus was leaving. I received a call that evening from the owner, letting me know the server found my purse and they would mail it back to me. I received my purse today with a thank you note for eating at the Hitching Post! What wonderful people!

This place sucks you can't even use the dart board bathroom doesn't even have locksIn the doors I do not suggest it the sassuage is crunchy and the roast beef is nasty and the pac man is to expensive! And the service is horrible

Usually impressed with the food and the service. This time our server was Bri. She was very distant and hesitant to take care of us,but she seemed to be tending more to what it appeared to be her boyfriend, than her customers. She and him took excessive trips outside. Her pupils were bigger than the moon. My girlfriend and I felt very uncomfortable and unwelcome. Like we were bothering her for being patrons. She appeared to both of us like she was on some type of speed or meth.This is usually our go to when coming through DuBois. But she made it a very uncomfortable environment for both of us..Such a shame because this is a staple bar of the DuBois area... I wont be back to support any business where drug addicts work.
