We have NEVER had a bad meal. The pizza is wonderful. They have a gluten free option. The portions are generous. I particularly like their apple and fig salad. They have great wings with a generous portion. My friend likes their fresh tuna salad and bowl. Again generous serving size. Very diverse menu options to satisfy everyone.

He supports local charities churches NCR etc by donating 20 percent of collections for that day for people who come in and mention the name of the charity.

Our group had a nice time eating here after taking a hike at the trail next door. I got the chicken…read moresalad but requested it without bread and was very satisfied that they served it to me instead on a bed of greens. One friend got the chicken Caesar salad. It's listed on the menu as a "small plate" but turned out to be a very decent size. My husband tried the key lime ice cream, which was not listed on the menu of flavors. This tasted really good too. The seating area is very limited - about six table with two chairs each. There are also a few tables outside. One drawback is that prices are not clearly listed. For instance, I could not find any signage for how much the drinks, muffins or croissants cost, which would have been helpful to me in my attempt to be a smart consumer. Overall, this is a nice place to grab a bite after walking or biking the trail. There is 30 minute parking for customers - apparently the employee told a friend of ours that they do tow away cars (I guess of hikers) but I don't know how much they enforce the time aspect.

My wife had the fish and chips. Food was good and plentiful. Service was very good, ate with some old friends, there was no rush, they gave us plenty of space. The menu is varied, specials are not typical fare, but also do not become science projects like so many "creations" do. The food is left to speak for itself. Affordable. Two small criticisms, can be loud in certain areas. They are very accommodating in moving you. The parking lot. Walking over the bridge can be an issue with cars. Worth the trip.

The French onion soup is unlike any version you've had before--made with onion rings instead of the…read moretraditional slow-caramelized onions. It sounds bold, and it is, but it works beautifully. The broth is rich and deeply savory, the cheese pull is perfect, and the crispy rings add a texture you never knew the classic was missing. The pork chop remains the star of the menu--huge, expertly seasoned, and cooked with precision. It's widely considered the best in the city, and honestly might be the best in the state. Juicy, tender, and full of flavor, it's the kind of entrée you end up recommending to friends for weeks. Their octopus is another standout, prepared with surprising delicacy. Tender, not chewy, with a perfect char that adds just the right amount of smokiness. It's balanced, refined, and one of the most memorable small plates you'll find locally. And don't leave without dessert--the crème brûlée is phenomenal. Silky smooth custard under a flawlessly torched sugar crust that cracks just right. Simple, classic, and executed perfectly. Between the inventive dishes and the warm atmosphere, The First Post remains a must-visit for anyone who loves great food done exceptionally well.

When I was working in the area, went in for lunch and stopped back later for homemade pie (baked from scratch in-house) and coffee. The charming dining room is clean and filled with authentic historical artifacts (not that Cracker Barrel "let's make this nostalgic" style...you know what I mean). The waitress knows the history of the area very well and has stories to share. You can get a filling sandwich with sides or a full meal and really enjoy the atmosphere. The 7 mile drive west of Port Royal to this spot takes you along a valley of neat farms nestled against the Tuscarora Mountain. Totally worth the drive for the food and the view.

Our server, Dee, maintained a professionally cordial and accommodating demeanor throughout the service. The cream of crab soup was exceptional: It possessed a desirable thin consistency, avoiding the heavy, pudding-like texture sometimes encountered. The portion of crab meat was generous. The flavor profile was exquisite. The quality of the draft beer indicated meticulous maintenance of the beer lines. The brownie sundae was satisfactory. Areas for Improvement (Negative Observations): My filet mignon was served with noticeably burnt edges. This was only discovered late in the meal, as the service up to that point had been ideal. Overall Conclusion: The overall rating assigned is a B+. Given the presence of the executive chef, an A-level performance was the expectation.

I love dry martinis. Dry towels. Dry senses of humor, even…read more What I don't love is dry fish. My grouper had the makings of a fine dish. The flavor. The texture of the couscous. The crunchy onion straws. Then I bit into the white, flaky meat, hopeful it would match the caliber of its accompaniments. I was sadly mistaken. To avoid reaching for my dad to give me the Heimlich, I gulped water to get it down. Considering fish comes from water, it's quite a trick to make it taste like kindling. If you're going to serve your patrons dry fish and make them sweat to death in your hot dining room while they wait for refills, kindly put a carafe of water on each table. Or let them wear CamelBaks. Our waitress was clearly overworked. She was managing about 20 tables, making it hard to get more water--or anything, really. At least put man bun to work and have him ask customers if they need anything. Like water. If it were socially acceptable for me to wring my shirt into my glass, I would have. I didn't want to embarrass my father, so I refrained. I swore I wouldn't rip any more restaurants, but no one asked why I left three-quarters of my fish on the plate. Not the overworked waitress. Not the manager, who walked past our table half a dozen times, intentionally dodging eye contact. If they had, I would have told them the truth. Frankly, I think they already knew. So here we are. The truth hurts sometimes. Just like dry fish going down the gullet.

We were delayed finishing chores at Taking The Lead, their non-profit horse therapy ranch. We arrived at 7:30 and were graciously seated even though they close at 8:00 PM. We were brought waters and tea and ordered, since we had already decided our choices. We started with Crab Dip and Fried Green Tomatoes. Brother-in-law, his wife and my wife all ordered the Slab of Ribs and fries special. One niece and I chose the Ostrich Filet, hers with Sweet Potato fries, mine with Roasted Sour Cream & Chives Potatoes and Butter Braised Green Beans. Farm helper Debbie chose the Firecracker Shrimp. And other niece got, wait for it, cake and ice cream!! Appetizers came quickly. Crab dip was delicious. Fried Green Tomatoes were excellent after I cleared up the sweet relish atop it. I'm a Fried Green Tomatoes purist. After a short wait our meals came. Two people thought the Ribs were good and one that didn't like them. I tried a piece of ribs from my wife. Very soft, fall off the bone but dry and lacking flavor. Debbie loved her Shrimp, which were barely spicy. The Ostrich Filet was very good, more like steak than chicken. But my sides were bleh. Green beans were stiff and tough. Potatoes had very little flavor of sour cream or chives, rather bland. I did enjoy some of my wife's fries. And the niece with the cake and ice cream said it was grrreat! Good food, wonderful ambiance and excellent service by Maura. Worth a visit, especially if you are curious about Ostrich filet!
