It all started back in January 17, 1940, when Jim Kewt opened the doors of the first Hitching Post on Warsaw Avenue in Price Hill. Jim had a passion for trying new things, and little did he know his deep-fried chicken recipe would become the heart of our restaurant. Back then, there were no shortcuts to success—just hard work and the love of serving good food to our community. Midwest's very first chicken carryout was born right here. We’ve grown into something truly special.

We know there’s more to a meal than just what’s on the plate. It’s about tradition, family, and coming together over food that’s made with care. Our recipes have been passed down through generations, perfected over decades to give you that home-cooked feel every time. From our crispy fried chicken to our comforting side dishes, everything we make has a story behind it, a history we’re proud to share with every bite. 📍Come visit us at 4535 Kellogg Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45226
