We had a group of 7-8 friends meet there after REDS - BOSOX game summer 2008. We took out of town friends there, hoping for yesteryear charm but found this Walts place to be a down right embarassment . We sat in the 2nd dinning room ..the overflow room , with a corporate party going on in the far back... more

When I was younger and growing up my parents would treat us once a month to the wonderful Walt’s Hitching Post. Walt’s famous Smoke house Ribs all around except for my father, he was a prime rib man he would always allow me a few mouth-watering bites. When I married a man from out of state I introduced him to... more

The ribs at Walt's are not supposed to "fall off the bone". So if that's what you are looking for, you may want to try one of those chains out by the mall.

Had ribs at Walt's on 4/20/05 and they were poor. No meat and tough. Our waiter could not care less. Cost me $45 and I will never go near the place again. Shame, as they use to be a decent rib place. more
