Walt's Hitching Post

Walt's Hitching Post has served legendary smokehouse ribs with secret sauce, salted rye bread, and prime steaks since 1942 in a historic Fort Wright building that started as a 1900s hunting lodge. Now owned by longtime diners who've preserved the original log cabin wall and horse racing theme, this 80+ year institution offers filet mignon, ribeye, and classics like chicken livers alongside live music, valet parking, and that famous tomato garlic dressing in a rustic-chic atmosphere where generations of Kentuckians have celebrated special occasions.
