Hitching Post II

Our favorite restaurant for nearly 15 years...before Sideways . Love the old school relish tray, artichokes , shantrill mushrooms (in season) steaks and lobster , oh, and the fries ... All good!!

Very good steak . Dry rub baby back pork rib was good (though I prefer wet style). Did the Pinot flight and preferred the Bien Nacido over the Highliner. Definitely worth a visit.

My boyfriend and I LOVE this place. Its a must each time we go wine tasting . We always get the artichoke , quail and steak . I love their baked potato . We got the tour of the kitchen and my boyfriend lo

This is a must when in the Santa Ynez Valley. One of my friends, while sipping on pinot , claimed this to be the happiest place on Earth. He may be right.

just as wonderful as you imagine from the movie "Sideways ". be sure to get the steak and fries . great bar . children's dinner , including drink & dessert only $8! make reservations ! artichoke=yum Read more

Fire grilled steaks , all the fixings, and fine wine . What else do you want? Scenes from Sideways filmed here.

Bien Nacido is my favorite rendition of HP Pinot Noir . Ate the quail appetizer and was not disappointed!

The burger is "the yumminy" extra avocado , house cured bacon , mango ketchup , jalapeno cheddar bun , house ground Top Sirloin and New York.

Ask about the special salad . Last night grilled corn , rotate beets with house made dressing . 30 years 2016

Miles (Paul Giamatti) & Jack (Thomas Haden Church ) walk down here, where Maya (Virginia Madsen) waits tables, & where Miles recommends the "ostrich " steak .

The Magic Dust is yummy - take some home. Steak and Highliner and bartenders are fabulous - rest of meal is so-so, but total experience is totally worth it!

This place was amazing in every way even there wine was great!!!

Santa Maria BBQ steaks and a house winery in a classic setting. Such a great spot!

Rosé and bar burger are the best way to end a long day. The artichoke is a must too though.

The food the service!!! Everything was amazing and they made my wife's birthday special!!!

The Ostrich steak is legit. Just like Miles suggested in the movie "Sideways !"

If you are interested in #dining @HitchingPost, be flexible and make your @OpenTable #reservations in days in advance

The steak was fabulous. The pinot in the county is better but totally enjoyed myself

AAAAMAZING steaks ! Great desserts & cool a$$ bartenders too! I'll be back very soon

Tasty steaks . Rule #1: make a reservation

Sideways anyone? The burgers are INSANE! But you can only order them in the bar dining room! Ask for Jackie - she's hilarious!

Designated drivers get free soda and an artichoke appetizer . The HP pinot noirs are really good, too...

Check the specials menu for their natural rib eye ! It's one of the best steaks I've ever tasted.

Mushroom appetizer and reduction sauce. Very good.

Order the French Fries ! LA Times called them the “best” French Fries in Southern California.

There's no more ostrich meat to be had, which is a shame!

Hitching Post Pinot is my fave Pinot of all time!

The Pinot !! Listen to them...

Great smoky meat.

As seen in Sideways ... ask about appetizer specials .

Central Coast BBQ

The food was good, but my steak was undercooked and the wait for the food was almost an hour.
