There’s no better comfort food in the world than a basket of juicy fried chicken; when prepared well, it’s pure heaven. There’s a restaurant right here in Cincinnati that claims to have the world’s best fried chicken, and we couldn’t agree more.
If you love fried chicken, your search for the best ends right here in Cincinnati at Hitching Post. This little gem opened in 1968 and it's been serving up incredible fried chicken ever since.
You'll find Hitching Post in two locations: 4535 Kellogg Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45226 (shown above), and 2715 Madison Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45209.
Hitching Post isn't a fancy place - the focus here is on the chicken, not the decor. Both locations are clean and comfortable, and there's plenty of seating.
Hitching post serves up some delicious burgers and sandwiches, but the real star of the show is the fried chicken. It's perfectly-seasoned with a crispy exterior, and when you take a bite, you'll find that it's incredibly juicy inside.
Hitching Post has the perfect portions to ease your hunger pangs. Get a chicken basket with one, two, three, or four pieces of chicken. It's served with mashed potatoes or fries, coleslaw, and a roll.
If you're serving a large family, get a bucket of chicken or try the family packs. The Special Family Pack includes nine pieces of chicken, six rolls, a large portion of mashed potatoes, a half-pint of gravy, and a container of coleslaw. The Large Family pack has double portions of everything.
Visit Hitching Post for breakfast, too! Enjoy pancakes, omelets, sausage, and bacon...or get the chicken and waffles, which seems like an obvious choice. Why not start your morning with the world's best chicken?
Hitching Post is open seven days a week. Enjoy the world's best fried chicken Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. 8 p.m. and on Saturday & Sunday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
