Hitching Post Restaurant provides a delightful escape with its cozy, welcoming vibe. I dined there recently and was blown away by the fried chicken - crispy and packed with flavor. The collard greens, despite being vegan, were surprisingly rich and tender. My friends enjoyed the lamb chops, which were so good they disappeared in seconds! The outdoor seating made for a lovely atmosphere, and the staff were friendly and attentive. A perfect spot for soul food lovers looking for a tasty meal! 🍗
