The Hitching Post

Casmalia, California, former cow-town of the Old West, is where California-style barbequing was brought to perfection by the by the pioneers. The Hitching Post has brought this live-oak California-style barbequing to perfection bringing choice, aged beef to the ultimate of gourmet flavor and tenderness while we keep alive the traditions of the old romantic West. The weatherworn walls of our 100 year old building are crammed with memories that induce an atmosphere of Western nostalgia to the romantically inclined people who can relax and trade the pressures of the fast, modern world for an evening of Old West hospitality.
