So for me this is the apex of what a good dining experience should be. The food is so good. The options and selections are nice. The food is prepared perfectly. The service is nothing short of exceptional. Every person from the greeter to the server is absolutely amazing every time I've been there. The interior is wonderful and has several areas that are different in appearance. The best place is the porch. My favorite!! read more

The first time the wife and I visit, I ordered beer, and my wife got the first post punch. It came surprisingly quick, cold beer, and a great mixed drink, very sweet, not my style, but she loved it. Then, we had the shrimp tempura starter. It was amazing. I ordered the pasta and crab (night special) Spring salad with vinaigrette was fresh and tangy. The pasta was like a foratini pasta, perfectly cooked, not overcooked, like most places do it. The crab and vegetables mixed nincely, it wasn't over sauced. Wife ordered the meatloaf. Glazed BBQ and wrapped in bacon with a side of mashed potatoes, wonderfully cooked and presented, wife was very happy with it. Shared a creme Brulee for desert, So good it hit the spot twice. The service was fenominal and prompt,im very picky about restaurants. I feel like if you're going to walk into a restaurant and hand them your money, they should care about what they do. I highly recommend this restaurant and will be coming back. read more

Awesome food. The lamb burger is outstanding and the drinks are excellent. A bit slow but sometimes that's how it is in a busy restaurant.

Great Food , better beer, very busy but worth it. Beautiful restaurant, great servers and staff. I will be back.

Food is always amazing ! Service is always great. The decor and ambiance is also very good. read more

The food is good. My steak was undercooked, but I can live with that. Better than over. Martini was not served in a proper martini glass. I made a reservation well in advance, yet was seated in the bar. The hostess seemed annoyed when I insisted to be moved . Once we were moved to a more quiet location, we enjoyed our time together. I will go again and I hope they will improve. read more

Amazing food, I love the Calamari and the scallops appetizer. The crab soup is widely recognized as the best around, as far as I know. Their burgers and sandwiches are good as well. Great service, very kind and professional. The building has an interesting layout which adds to the ambiance. read more

The First Post - Scallops appetizer - New American Near Me - York, Pennsylvania

We first checked out First Post for lunch awhile back. Our first time there was amazing! Sam is an awesome server (muscular guy) and I had the Post Burger and my wife had the Chicken Salad. The complimentary rolls were delicious, as were our entries. The ambience was also very refined. Perfect for a casual meal. This place would be perfect for a date night or special occasion, but you'd better have reservations. We did not, but it was lunch and we arrived after 2:00 pm, so no worries in that regard. For the main lunch hour, it's probably advised to call ahead, just in case. For our second visit a month later, luck of the draw gave us a rather odd experience. The server (not Sam) was also a bit odd in his behavior and he annoyed my wife with not listening to her requests and sometimes ignored her altogether it seemed. She had asked for lemons for her water and he made a production of presenting them to us after missing them the first time. We had to ask for water refills because it felt like he was somewhat ignoring the obvious even when we placed empty glasses on the edge of the table as he walked bay. It appeared like he was more interested in pursuing higher tips from other tables than in our basic order of a burger and salad. My wife located a manager when she went to wash up afterwards because she was really annoyed, to put it mildly. The manager personally brought us a complimentary dessert to go and only then did the server come over to apologize to us. As stated previously, it was a very odd experience, unlike anything we've ever experienced in the past or anywhere else for that matter. I had expected better from a place like FP. We had originally considered making FP part of our regular rotation of eateries, but this weird experience made us wait 4 to 5 months before returning. We got Sam again and again had an awesome lunch. BTW, the other guy is still there as of October so hopefully he has improved in his professionalism and behavior or he'll never make it in the restaurant industry. I'm not sure if this is the right career fit for him but wish him the best of luck. Overall, First Post is a nice place for a decent meal. It is also a popular location for family get togethers and showers, and many well-heeled customers eat there. Overall, I recommend it and will occasionally go when in the mood for a 40 minute drive down 83 South. read more

Large portions, friendly service, lovely options on the menu. Was a delicious meal and the atmosphere was fun.

It was 4+ years since I've eaten here. Last time it was very dark and not the least bit crowded and not a very memorable experience. This time we decided to try it again and I'm sure glad we did. The calamari was very lightly breaded and the marinara was great with fresh tomatoes flavor. The Brussels sprouts were very good and a hint of charred goodness. The Apple and cheese topping on it was a good mix with brussels. Both the house salad and Caesar salad was also good. The Caesar salad was perfectly balanced and not drowning in the Caesar dressing. The ranch dressing with house salad was good ranch unlike at certain restaurants where the ranch doesn't taste like ranch. I had the lobster puttanesca and it had huge chunks of lobster and the olives were perfect combo with the pasta to provide the saltiness. The vegetable pasta was a creamy warm delight and the highlight of the meal. read more

My husband and I have driven by this restaurant many times and finally decided to dine here on our 27th anniversary. We did not have a reservation but were seated within about 30 minutes. The prime pork chop and ribeye steak were amazing, and the service was great. We really enjoyed the ambiance and atmosphere. Would highly recommend. read more

The salads are large and can easily be shared. My favorite is the Greek. Drinks are good and draft list is always changing with nice variety. read more

Another great recommendation led us to this spot for a big work dinner. We were pretty hungry and took advantage of the oyster specials on this Tuesday. We also ordered some drinks to start- they had a great beer list. Though the service was pretty slow, the food made up for it. I wanted to order a salmon salad, but they didn't have it available so I changed my order to the ahi tuna salad. This was delicious and fresh. The bread rolls were to die for- I couldn't stop eating them! We also ordered some other appetizers, including Brussel sprouts and calamari. Both were tasty and filling. read more

Took our family there for an afternoon meal and it was fabulous from beginning to the end!

Every enjoyable dinner out. Highly recommend the pork chop! Double cut and so tender. Lots of options on the menu sure to please everyone. The pumpkin cheesecake was awesome too but be warned, no Graham cracker crust. Server was awesome and knowledgeable. I called to see if a reservation was needed. After giving my name and cell number, I received a text and calendar event for the reservation. It included the address which made it easy to click to load directions to Waze. They really think of everything to make it an enjoyable experience. read more

Our go to place whenever we're in town. The ambiance is such a nice vibe and their customer service was great

One of our local spots--we frequent it and the menu changes just enough to keep you interested, but not get tired of what they're serving up. The Post Caesar is a favorite. Go here... you will likely go back in the future and be a happier human. read more

I had never heard of this place before and was pleasantly surprised. The food was fantastic. looked good and tasted even better. Our waiter was friendly and patient while we looked over the menu. There is plenty of seating available in the multiple seating rooms to choose from. Even with a large number of handicapped spaces, once taken, parking could be an issue for those who have problems walking. read more

Food is great depending on what you get. They have good specials and the service is great. The last time I went their computer system went down for the registers so we waited a half hour at our table to get the check. Other than that, the place has yet to disappoint. read more

Best restaurant in York! The interior is well done, reminds you of an old time saloon would look like....actually, what a modernized, 21st century tavern should look like! Place is fantastic, and if I lived near here, the First Post would be my second home. Food was also amazing, so do yourself a favor and stop looking for another restaurant if in the York region and go here...you will not be disappointed. Cheers! read more

We tried this restaurant on a weekend for lunch while visiting some relatives in the York area. Now we know why it gets four stars plus. The cuisine was excellent. We had two of the appetizers first - Scotch Eggs and pierogis. Very good. The cream of crab soup was superb. Very thick and creamy well prepared. We all had different types of burgers and they were all excellent. Best I've had in a while. Service was A+ .. fantastic. Our waiter Mack was super. Very professional and he had it all covered. Never missed a beat. The interior decor is traditional and a bit dated with all the dark stained wood finishes, but it didn't bother us at all. Plenty of parking nearby. May be a good idea to call in for a reservation during their busy time like a Friday or Saturday night . If you are in the York Pa area, I highly recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner. read more

Just really amazing. The ambience, the food and the service were top notch. We'll be back.

A favorite spot in York. I have to stay that the food is pretty standard. But it is consistent everytime I go. It have a quiet vibe and staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Overall the food and drinks are good, and you can count on that everytime. My stars are just my preference for atmosphere and menu selection, but again it is good high quality food! read more

Very fancy, First time going they presented food fast and fancy, menu was FILLED with options, I decided to go with the octopus. Very good service they came back and asked to refill my water plenty of times. The decor was awesome with the plants, parking lot was big and nicely painted. would recommend stopping and trying it and i would definitely go back! read more

Good food, good meat, good God, let's eat! Yelp wants more characters so let's also discuss the amazing cocktail!

Delicious food and great service. Not to mention tasteful drinks. Great for small parties but accommodating to large parties.

My family and I party of 7 (5 adults and 2 kids) walked in around 430pm. We were turned away because we didn't have a reservation. There were no customers waiting. We were told there would be a 4 hour wait. I didn't believe the hostess. But I won't be coming back. read more

The fish & chips are so good. The meatloaf withe the BBQ Glace was my son's favorite. We've visited several times & will do so again. So good! read more

Our return trip wasn't as good as our first. Service was super, super slow. I think it was a server issue rather than a full restaurant based on other tables having a very different experience than us. No bread, Listened to other tables hear specials which were not shared with us. Wait for appetizer, salads, and entrees surpassed reasonable. On the food end, the crab dip was okay. Salads were very good. Entrees, while tasty, were not at all hot. I would have ordered dessert but we couldn't deal with the wait. Disappointing to watch another server's table seated after you have drinks, appetizers, entrees and cleared for dessert before you get your entrees. read more

Awesome Atmosphere Great Service Delicious Food I had a humongous Burger cooked to perfection and Bob had the Pork Chop- Going back soon to order differently- read more

Reservation made 2 weeks in advance. Celebrating 58 year anniversary'. Drink not what I ask for! Water not brought. Order finally taken, delivered by kitchen staff. I was never asked if my fillet mignon was done to my order, (it was almost well done, I ordered RARE). Why did I not send it back....because we did not see out waiter. He showed up when we were done only to bring us bread????? And a desert menu. We NEVER saw him again, we had to go and ask another waitress to find him. She finally came back handed us our check and said our waiter was busy with a large table....we never saw him again. Our dinner was well over $100.00 and we HAD NO SERVICE. A very sour note to a celebration. We will not be returning. read more

Great food and drinks. One of the best restaurants in the York area. Highly recommended!

I went for lunch with a friend and it was a great experience! We started with the Shrimp Tempura Skewers and it was served with a delicious dipping sauce and Asian cabbage slaw with soy sauce, cilantro and sesame seeds. Then we shared the lunch sized portion of Crab and Corn Spaghetti with a Caesar Salad. It was a perfect sized portion for 2 to share. read more

We love the first post, but I wanted to share a recent experience. The octopus appetizer is amazing and I've been thinking about it since ordering. We need to go back just for that appetizer. read more
