The Hitching Post — Restaurant in DuBois

A sort of cute dive-y bar, in the hip way, with several pool tables and a shuffle board for entertainment. Overall, the food was pretty standard to slightly above average bar food. The fries were definitely good and crispy!

A few of complaints though. They were out of quite a few things on the menu that we were excited about (wings, ribs, crab legs). But, it’s covid-so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt that this was a distributor issue. The menu online, which you are directed to when you sit down, do not reflect the prices charged. My steak dinner was $1 more, and we saw a $1 up charge for fries with the sandwich that surprised us. There is a $2 credit card fee. WOW, just WOW. I’ve never seen anything like that. And, they use Square, which is a very affordable credit card processing company as compared to traditional credit card processors, where you typically see up charges of $.50 or around that for credit transactions under a certain amount.

In summary, while we only paid $4 more than we expected, which isn’t much I suppose, it was a surprise and it left us in a sour state upon departure. I’m not sure we would return in the near future. I really wanted to be excited about this place as it said it was a “woman led” business on google, and I want to support my fellow women, but please address the issues outlined...

I would give it no stars if that was possible. I am a manager at a restaurant so I know how it goes. This place is terrible with the service. The waitress was so rude and nasty with my husband and I tonight 9/18/17. She was a horrible server never kept up with our drinks didn't provide us with silver wear, menus, or napkins. Then they messed our order up and when we told her, she laughed at us and told my husband that it was alright then walked away. She never bothered to offer to fix it or anything. We told another woman the problem and she never offered to fix it o5 apologized or anything. We never got refills then we waited 20 minutes for our bill after she took away all of our dishes including our drink cups. When sh3 came back with the bill there was no compensation for them messing up our order and when my husband asked why they didn't give us a discount or anything she gave is a nasty look and got rude with us and said no we don't give discounts for messed up orders and walked away. This was the worst experience I have ever had at any restaurant. We won't ever be back. This was somewhere around the 10th time we had been there in a 3 month period we were really liking the place but this gas turned us off. No longer will we be spending a 100 dollars a visit on food and drinks. Absolutely awful. Don't...

Stopped here while staying in town to play some pool and have a couple drinks. Bartender (blonde) is horrible and rude. It took 10 mins to even get her attention for the first drink, we were there 3 hours and had 3-4 drinks each, the bartender seemed drunk or on some kind of drugs, we were then cut off after asking for our last drink. We were not drunk or anything, she was very rude as we told her that we were walking and not driving. We told her that we didn’t want the last drink then and not to worry about it, she proceeded to tell me that I needed to throw away the drink that I had been sipping on for an hour. I let her know that I was finishing the drink that I paid for and would be leaving. I finished my drink and walked out and another bartender then ran out after us screaming at us saying we couldn’t take drinks with us(which we didn’t) I would not recommend this place to anyone. The bartenders are the rudest out of anywhere I’ve ever been, very unprofessional and the ladies room smelled horrible and was out of toilet paper. When told there was no toilet paper she rolled her eyes and never brought any. This place definitely needs new employees, the ones they have are running...
