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.

Taverns have flourished along Santa Ynez’s Sagunto Street since 1906. Sixty years ago, four busy bars entertained the locals and visitors alike. These establishments were named Last Chance, the Bum Steer, Parker’s and the Maverick Saloon. While three of the four original taverns have since disappeared into history, the legendary Maverick Saloon is still going strong and continues to be a staple in the Santa Ynez valley.In 1963, Jerry and Diane Thompson bought nine bare lots from publisher tycoon Hastings Harcourt. Plans were drawn up for a museum, restaurant, two-story hotel and the Maverick Saloon, which is named after a TV series starring James Garner. A few years later (approx. 1968) the barn was built next to the saloon. To achieve an antique look, the Thompsons used materials salvaged from demolished Victorian houses. The barn’s history began as the “Lulubelle’s Restaurant” and a tool rental facility. The barn and dancehall became a permanent part of the Maverick Salo

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.

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.

The five of us had a great experience at this quirky, beautifully restored motel/restaurant. Good food (except they were out of at least two items we wanted) and service. Only one food server (luckily it wasn’t busy) but the other staff stepped in graciously to help out. Friendly and accommodating, would stop in again sometime on our way north. One of a kind place (in the best way).
