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.

Friendly staff, seated in a timely manner. Ordered 16oz Ribeye Steak with sides of fries and side harvest salad, BBQ Burger with Mac n cheese and more fries and BBQ Sampler Trio with beans and crispy smashed potatoes. Brisket and Ribs were delicious. The kids said their strawberry lemonade was really good. Had an Atterdag and husband had an old fashioned and both were great. We enjoyed everything we got and had a nice dinner. Thank you!
