"I 'm sorry, but for this kind of money I 'm not eating dinner in a tent with zero view, in a parking lot, with port-o-let bathrooms. Even though they 're nice port-o-lets. Although service was perky and attentive, they couldn 't make up for the poor food and absence of ambiance. Let 's start with the bare bones small table in an oil stained parking lot slot, with the Waffle House hand written table number on a stand, and no salt or pepper (had to ask for it). The grilled Texas quail appetizer was tasty but tiny, and the the clam chowder was very light but a bit bland. My garden salad was basically lettuce and dressing, no tomatoes, no onions, and a few carrot chards. On a high note, the pork chop was very good and the accompanying Wild Turkey sweet potatoes were excellent. But my prime top sirloin was inedible. After a few chew and spit repetitions I called the server and he brought me a better cut. And take a look at that fancy steak and potato presentation. But it was too late and my appetite was being satisfied by some cold draft Firestone DBAs instead. We have had good food here a couple years ago but this was an expensive disappoinment."

"The servers appeared disinterested, and the food reminded me of a subpar Sizzler, with overcooked and dry filet mignon and pork chop that resembled jerky. Our server made no effort to address our complaints, and when we spoke to the manager, it became clear why the staff seemed apathetic. During our conversation, the manager was dismissive and seemed more focused on shuffling his feet than addressing our concerns, offering only empty platitudes. We used to dine here regularly during our visits to the area, but after this experience, we decided to stop coming. My wife insisted on giving it another chance, but that was a mistake. The Red Barn in Santa Ynez provides a far superior dining experience. I can't see myself returning to Hitching Post II—perhaps only for a burger night at the bar. Otherwise, it’s best to drive past this place."

"Got two recommendations for IEats and checked out their Yelp for ideas. Wow, so many mixed reviews. Some love, many do not. The place had a cool rustic, very open space. Two XL communal high tops seat a dozen. 3 or 4 smaller low boys. We lunched on a Monday, busy but not packed, good energy. We ordered a Banh mi to share. $17. it took a while to get, but looks like pork cutlet is fresh to order. Sammy looked incredible: well charred bread/roll, piled high with veg, good size portion. My first bite was nice, fresh mint popping through the slaw and shredded carrot. The pork was tasting a bit bland. I flipped it over to see if more flavor would register, it did. Some sauce, maybe spiced mayo, Hoisin. It was slightly underdressed for me but not sloppy, refined. Later bites some sauce was coming on strong, improving. Enjoyable to the last Last bite, but not great. Very Good. Saw a pizza in the oven and it looked very small 9-10 . Great looking options for toppings though. Service at the counter was friendly, plenty of staff dropping plates, napkins& flatware. Another asking my needs at the condiment station. The beer fridge caught my eye with a Chimay Blue but didn't see much local stuff. Diverse. I did see a couple of Goleta beers from down the road, so there was some representation. There were some political mementos and signs I didn't appreciate. It makes me think twice about supporting a place. I would say pretty good all around, glad we came in. Worth the visit but not sure Id come back."

"I spent $63 on two medium pizzas and was disappointed to find that both were burned. I appreciated the variety of toppings, but unfortunately, the quality fell short. However, I want to update my review: the owner, Marcel, reached out to me right away to personally apologize and mentioned he would discuss the issue with the chefs. I really appreciate that! He even generously offered me a $60 credit for my next order. I’m willing to give them another try!"

"It's nice to walk into an establishment where all the staff is happy and helpful! You can tell they have a well-oiled operation (that sometimes becomes overwhelmed) but they really do try to take care of their customers. The food is great, noticeably improved over the past couple of years. The addition of an expanded outdoor seating area was brilliant. Family, dog and handicapped- friendly, it is welcoming to everyone. Some special coudo's to the bar staff- Ashlyn, Joanie, Miraha, Alec, Marko and especially Trisha and Leslie. Everyone does a great job across the board!"
