We haven't been to the actual Hitch-N-Post to compare the experience, but the Tiger Shack was a great stop for lunch that we really enjoyed.
The menu had a good selection, and we tried a little bit of everything. My kids loved the macaroni and the buns, I thought the sliders and the sandwiches were delicious, and the boba tea was excellent. The real star is the brisket. The pulled pork was good, the smoked sausage was okay, and the sauce was a little bit forgettable (which goes without saying for a lot of BBQ, not Tiger Shack personally). But, the brisket would be worth the trip. Very moist and awesome, with a good smoky flavor... not to mention good texture.
The staff was very friendly and the wait for food wasn't terrible. Everything came out hot and fresh. The outside patio wasn't exactly clean when we went, a lot of folks seem to smoke and leave behind their cigars and cigarette butts, so there was a slight smell my kids kept mentioning. But with a small staff of 1-2 people, there isn't exactly a janitor running around.
For a BBQ place, there wasn't any napkins or wet wipes outside. We had some that napkins with our utensils, but we were lucky we didn't make more of a mess. That's the only thing I wish we had that we didn't.
Overall, a good experience that is easy to miss among the town's endless array of ho-hum fast food places. Whether it's at the drive-thru, or sit down, there's bound to be something you can find that suits your taste buds.
