Nettle Meadow Artisan Cheese - Plant, Tasting Room and Store

Love stopping in to shop for the award winning Nettle Meadow cheese and then having a bite or full meal at The Hitching Post. The food is very good!, and, of course, incorporates their amazing cheese; the staff is so very warm and welcoming; I love the log building and it's history; and the fact that they not only welcome dogs but have a menu just for dogs makes this restaurant a home run for me!

Always good and friendly service food is good

We had a birthday gathering at Nettle Meadows recently. It was a lovely rustic place with good service and delicious cheeses that they make right there. The shop had lots of comfy food items such as honeys and jams and other interesting gifts.

I took a Cheesemaking class here through the Adirondack Folk School. The teacher was the head cheesemaker of Nettle Meadow. She was amazing- interesting , engaged, made the info accessible to us without being over our heads. They provided the most amazing charcuterie board for lunch. All of the cheeses were delicious.

Very good food and atmosphere! Cheese boards are phenomenal 😋Elvin is a very bubbly personable bartender!

Two wait staff, two people in the kitchen for a full house. Waited over an hour for our food. My cheese board was half the size it was before - she said they ran out of food. We won’t be back soon.

The hitching post is the place to be! The food is so good and always on point. The staff is super friendly, very attentive and knowledgeable. Shout out to Racheal ( hope I spelled it right) she is so great. She is so kind to my dog Loki. Treats and water for the good ol’ boy. Love everything there. Thanks again!

First time dining experience this evening was fabulous!! I can’t believe it took us this long to stumble upon this gem! The staff was great - My husband and I were there with kids and a dog; everyone left so happy after completely engorging ourselves with far too much food - it was all amazing! Our little Pepper, who’s often overlooked or not allowed in restaurants, was the biggest winner tonight. We skipped her kibble and ordered off the pup menu. Our Frenchie didn’t want to leave. We’ve been cheese lovers for years, regular purchasers at local farmers markets, it was lovely to purchase direct in the store next door after we enjoyed our meal. Overall, such a great experience for our entire family! We can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu!

I'm local and wanted to support local business. Unfortunately, the server was absolutely rude. Complaining about tips in front of us. Tips are not mandatory, so when one is left, after you did minimal work, you should be greatful. Seemed like whenever we spoke to her she was inconvenienced. Maybe try looking for a better fitting job. Food was mediocre at best for the price. Absolutely do NOT recommend.

Good cheese

Great place, LOVE the atmosphere and the cheeseboards! I visit every time I come home to see family!

What a fun place! We loved the cheese board, the gift shop, and stopped by the next day for lunch. Everything was delicious. Chicken pot pie and cheaper pie served in crock, smaller portion, but delicious nonetheless. Service was great too; our bartender and server (same both visits) was excited, passionate, knowledgeable, and we felt like he LOVED his job and the place. Good deal!

Parking isn't great, but the menu makes it a worthwhile trip.
