DINING - CATERING

  1. Hitchn'n Post Truck Stop & Restaurant  - Category: Soul Food Restaurants - REVIEW: "I love the Hitch 'N' Post. I think it's called something else now; I just call it "the truck stop"; but it's all the same. They have wonderful, typical "diner" types of food, and their breakfast plates are amazing. I absolutely love breakfast foods, and their biscuits and gravy are the best. If you're in the mood for some "soul food", regardless of time of day, check this place out.
