"Kentucky cuisine" is how Walt's describes its menu offerings. This tristate favorite continues to fuel the controversy over who has the best ribs in town. Whatever your preference, there's no denying that Walt's delicious ribs and homey atmosphere make dining here a memorable experience. Housed in an authentic Kentucky log cabin, the restaurant has changed hands only a few times since it first opened as a Hitching Post restaurant in the 1930s. Its current owner is credited with developing the spicy, sweet sauce that has made Walt's ribs famous. With the emphasis on the meat, side dishes are simple but delicious, like sweet coleslaw and salty vegetables. Big-haired waitresses and loyal regulars round out the comfortable atmosphere.

Walt's Hitching Post
Definately over-rated the taste of a few years ago is no longer there Service was only fair this was in the afternoon on a Sat. Prime rib wasn't available. Two of our party had ribs wonn't go again
Smoke Em
Walt's is one of the few places around that you can still get ribs that our cooked the old fashion way. You know hung up in a smoke house and slowly cooked to perfection. This allows you to naw them off the bone. You do have to like to pick them up with your fingers. (thats really the only way to eat them) Most places around will par boil them and they will fall off the bone. They our still ediable and not as messy but you owe it to yourself to taste and get down and dirty at ************** Post.
Be sure to ask for the special house dressing on your salad. I bet you will take some home. Enjoy
