Great food, great atmosphere, great service and best Scottish eggs I have had West of the Atlantic.

The restaurant is very nice looking inside and out. Arrive close to 5pm and you shouldn't have to wait. The seasonal Sangria and crab soup were amazing! The Post fries were good but hard to eat.... Not a recommended date food... Not quite a finger food, yet the fork does not work either. My personal hint, if you don't like the side dish that comes with your meal, ask for a substitution. My waitress was wonderful also. I definitely will return. read more

Upscale feel, great atmosphere, reasonable prices for the quality of food. Everything was very good! The waitress was great. We had a shrimp appetizer which was presented beautifully. Both of our main dishes were wonderful as well. read more

Wonderful food and great service. Wether local or from out of town, this is a must do for food and drinks

The best guacamole I ever had. I highly recommend the cream of crab soup. And the rolls are the best. I'm looking forward to going again.

I have never had a bad meal here, let alone below average. Their steaks are phenomenal. Good service and the prices are reasonable for the portion sizes. read more

Rustic & historic atmosphere. Great menu and the food is excellent. I've only been there for lunches and all have been excellent with terrific service. Fun place and interesting history behind them. read more

I had a poor first experience but my wife has gone back without me. I guess it's up to each person to make up their own mind.

Second time I've been here with a large group and been told we'd be upstairs only to find out that we are instead crammed into a back room! And when the manager points her finger at your chest while making condescending remarks..then they run out of lobster early on a Friday night.cant fault the wait staff but poorly run restaurant! Wont be back..too overpriced to be treated so rudely! read more

This is my first review, but we had such a great dinner, I had to share. We happened upon this restaurant while passing thru the area... fantastic!!!! The food was delicious, everything we ordered surpassed expectations. read more

Good restaurant and good service. Usually a wait on Saturday and to make reservations you need a party of 6 or more. Pricing is reasonable and the menu has a good variety to satisfy almost anyone. and a decent craft beer selection. Just wish I could make a reservation for 5 or less. read more

Fabulous atmosphere and food. Great prices. Drinks are yummy! My first visit was for supper with my husband and the second was for work over lunch. Both situations (small, intimate dinner at suppertime vs. large group over lunch) were great! Reservations were easy to make for both. It's often hard to serve a big group (I used to waitress so I know the perils), but our waitress was great and the food came out quickly and was the perfect temperature. They only started serving lunch a few weeks ago...great job!!! I can't wait to go back!!! read more

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT! Pricey, but worth it! Gorgeous interior! Creative, unique menu! Definitely recommend! I'll be returning!

I normally do not do reviews, you can be sure of one thing, I am not happy. I just had one of the worst dinners that I have ever had in my life. I have eaten at the First Post on at least 3 prior occasions. Each of them was enjoyable. NOT TODAY. The waitress suggested one of the specials, the 16oz bone in rib eye for $39.00, with mash potatoes and spinach. When the meal came it looked good. The meat was one of the worst I have ever had. There was more gristle than meat and between the gristle and bone there was not 8 oz of meat. Yes I should have sent it back but that is something I learned a long time ago not to do, so I ate what I could. The mashed potatoes were not exactly good either. On the other hand the Cream of Crab soup is one of the best in York. It will be a long time before I will go back. For the price of the dinner for my wife and I with a drink I could have eaten at almost any of the higher end places in York. I don' t mind paying for a good meal but this was anything but good.

This place has a great atmosphere. The decor is top notch. The prices are reasonable for a place like this. I drove past this place looking for lunch and I turned around when I saw the interesting look of the building. I am glad I did. The cream of crab soup was very good. I had the lunch special which was a seared tuna sandwich. Everything was excellent and the service by Nicole was equally as impressive. I recommend this place and will be back. read more

Everything from appetizer to desert was fantastic. My only regret was that I only ordered a cup of the cream of crab soup. The scotch eggs were fantastic along with the steak and chicken. read more

I heard about The First Post through Facebook and was eager to try it, so my husband took me there for my birthday. For starters, the place was incredibly lovely. There was so much attention to detail when restoring the space. We tried several things on the menu, including their crab bisque, which was amazing. My meal size was (pleasantly!) bigger than I expected for the price. (It was lunch and we both got sandwiches.) We enjoyed it so much we brought my mom their less than a week later. We definitely want to go back for dinner! read more

Our small dept at work went here on our lunch break and we were all very pleased with our experience. The fish and chips looked outstanding. Only compliant was that the Reuben was tough. And the environment was really cool! I will def be back :) read more

Nothing but amazing. We had 3 different dishes, and all were sooooo goood. There were so much food, there were not room for dessert. The price is, in my opinion, on the low side for these amazing dishes. read more

Great place! Awesome food. Five stars. Amazing Greek salad. Octopus and Brussels sprouts are awesome. Really good rolls. Trust me go there

Average or below average bar food. Limited menu. Food is mediocre. Service average. The star is the decor and large , ornate bar. Overall quality has definitely slipped since we last ate there. Likely won't return. read more

First time here. Love the decor and the food was great! I had the steak sandwich and my husband had the haddock sandwich.

This restraint is typically overpriced for what it is. Food is underwhelming compared with the ambiance of the dining environment. Might be a better place for a burger and nice drinks from the bar, but probably not the best stop for a fancy dinner or perfectly cooked steak. read more

You know what's great? When your experience completely sucked, the service was terrible and the food was sub par and when you discuss your issue with a manager, they send you a gift card in the mail for the mishap. Awesome right? Definitely. My husband and I ordered burgers for takeout on a Friday night, we used the gift card and the amount was exceeded by .25 - my husband ran in with just the gift card and his debit card with no cash on hand while I waited in the car. The bartender/manager or whoever it was, made my husband use his debit card to run the .25 - will twenty-five cents make or break this restaurant? Don't you think it costs them more to run a credit card? Why wouldn't they just say, "no problem! have a great night?" - nah, they needed that extra quarter. It really put a sour taste in our mouths - each time we've tried to give this place another chance, we're left disappointed. Try somewhere else, the food isn't worth it, the service is lacking and their efforts to build relationships with customers to keep them coming back is non-existant. read more

Fantastic on several levels. The service was incredibly quick and helpful. The menu is varied and both my entree and main course were delicious. Cooked perfectly and great recipes. Had the Spanish octopus! Very good beer selection. read more

I'm in York for a long weekend and have eaten twice at The First Post. I enjoyed a wonderful dinner on Saturday, I came back for a fabulous lunch on Tuesday. The staff was great, too. I know where I will be returning on my next visit to York read more

We are in the area because our car broke down. Decided to get something to eat and went here because of the reviews and the photo of the food from the Yelp app. When I asked the waiter what's the most popular or flagship food, she said everything is good and ordered about the same amount - but the crab cakes were probably the best. So we ordered the crab cakes platter, the shrimp salad, the chicken wings and the salmon platter and O M G ( the food was so flavourful) every piece of meat/ protein was so tender and filled with flavor from the wings to the salmon to the crab cakes. The shrimp also ( mmmm yum just thinking about it ) . The sides we had were mash potatoes with crab meat infused ( yummy) potatoes au gratin cheesy, asparagus, spinach, French fries. Vegetables were fresh including the corn was tender ( don't know how they managed to accomplish that) . I could rave on and on but will sum up by saying - we are planning to take a road trip and go back - and I normally don't take time out of my day to write a review unless something really made an impression negatively or positively . I am thankful for Yelp showing us this place. It's a new favorite- a little pricey - but it is totally worth it!!! Also I took a picture of the first dish - after tasting it , I totally got lost in how delicious the food was and was truly enjoying everything that I forgot to take photos of everything else. Also meals have such a beautiful presentation! read more

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

Reasonably small portions, reasonably high prices. All the money goes to atmosphere, not service or portions of food.

Always a solid choice in York. They upgraded the surf and turf and I very much enjoyed it.

My favorite restaurant. Love the menu and the bar atmosphere. Very friendly staff with no rush unless you need it.

Delightfully I attended baby shower there yesterday...despite the heavy rain...it was wonderful. Service was terrific & the food was outstanding...pesto noodles, divine shrimp, grilled vegs....can hardly wait to come again. I am from Annapolis, MD...so, will not be often as I would like. Thank you. read more

Unless you have 5 hours to sit around and aren't hungry and don't necessarily like the taste of real food BY ALL MEANS COME HERE. We waited for over two hours for our food along with extreme attitude from not only the kitchen but also the managers. Great job York County, great job. read more

This is what i wrote to the company regarding my experience. They have got to get a better management staff : Now that i am back from my honeymoon, I can write to you and tell you how disappointed I was last Saturday Feb 13th. My husband and i reserved seating for 10 at 5 PM almost a month i advance for that day. We confirmed twice and changed the number to 12 people. We ordered flowers to be delivered and told you we were having a surprise wedding at our house and would be bringing our guests for dinner. During one confirmation you told us we would be upstairs. When we got there shortly before 5 our table wasn't ready. That's ok, we were early. But when 5 became 5:15 and then became 5:30 it was pushing it to the max. Finally we were shown to our seats.......downstairs in a corner with limited access should anyone need to use the restroom. Not even enough room for 12. There were 4 children with us who were hungry!!! My flowers were not on the table. These were $200 flowers. We spoke to the manager who didn't seem to care. We spoke to her once more and i asked her what Plan B was. We were told, we would need to wait for 2 more tables to clear out. Oh come on, we reserved seating!!!!! This was our wedding dinner! I loved The Road House when it was at this location. their service was topnotch. i had high hopes for this place. To make a long story short, I sat in my seat (crammed in ) and called The Eagles Nest who was willing and available to seat us right away. We left your establishment with children crying because they were hungry. We arrived at Eagles Nest with my $200 flower arrangements in hand and were seated immediately and dined on some very great food. Eagles Nest was my first choice anyway. the only reason we did not go there was because it may have been difficult for my blind mother to navigate to the second floor. Thankfully with the help of my sons, she made it safely and enjoyed herself. You really need to upgrade your services. You ruined my perfect day. Your managr on duty that night ( a woman) has no clue how to handle a dinner party. I would like to speak directly to the owner about this to ensure that no one else needs to go through this ever again. I would think that the experiences from the Great American Saloon would be carried over to this establishment!!! read more

The cream of crab soup is a must. The decor is phenomenally restored to give an 1800's feel with 21st century cleanliness and climate control. The bar is beautiful, the drinks are interesting and the food is fantastic - great for lunch or dinner. I have to mention the presentation of each dish is a high point for this restaurant. I was very pleased at the kitchen's attention to detail. In my humble opinion, the food just tastes better when prepared this way. read more

The BEST restaurant in York! Great atmosphere, great bar, great staff, great food. What more could you ask for? We go there a couple times a month. My family's first choice. Thank goodness it is hear our home, but it would be worth the drive even if it wasn't. read more

Always very good food. Buck a shuck on Tuesday's Raw Oysters for a buck is awesome. Happy hour has great specials. Never had a average meal here always excellent food. The service is a bit slow but the food makes up for it. read more

I went there for the first and last time this evening. I sat at the bar, and was greeted by the bartender with a staring contest. Not a " Can I help you" or a " Welcome to the First Post". He just stared at me as if I had an eye in the middle of my forehead. It was rude, and quite frankly, creepy. I did not feel the least bit welcome. Go to the Paddock instead about a half mile to the west on Market Street. read more

Awesome food, amazing atmosphere and a great crowd! Try the cream of crab, and the fish and chips!

Our 1st time. The decor is excellent and the staff very engaging and knowledgeable. The food was well presented and delicious. Would have appreciated a better beer selection. Other than that great time. read more

My sister and I came to First Post on a Thursday night for drinks and a quick dinner but were very disappointed. I was drinking at the beginning of the night and ordered a hot chocolate drink while my sister was drinking martinis and we also ordered food, which was very good but our drinks were anything from that. The bartender took forever to take our orders and an additional 20 minutes plus a reminder to make them. The drinks were awful and she denied to make my sister a second one, so when the guys next to us ordered one for her she also cut them off. Get politer bartenders and we'll be back, she was too focused on her friends at the other end of the bar to pay attention to anyone. read more
