PostBoy - Girls Night Holiday Party! - Burgers Near Me - New Buffalo, Michigan

This place is the epitome of everything currently wrong with the city of New Buffalo. I have never docked any establishment a single star, just based on pricing, meanwhile here I find myself taking off 2 stars just for PostBoy thinking they are in New York when in reality they are in New Buffalo. As always I'll be fair, and start with the good. The food, is actually really good. I have no doubt the ingredients are fresh, quality, and the menu is curated to give a unique culinary experience. My wife had the chicken sandwich and I had the trout tostada. The chicken sandwich was on a bun covered in sesame seeds, with a light sauce, some type of lettuce or greens, and the chicken itself was battered in a lightly sweet sauce. It was on the smaller side. My tostada was also delicious and a unique take on Mexican cuisine, however it also was on the smaller side and the dish was just the 1 tostada with nothing else. The ambience is amazing as well. Closer to Miami art deco than anything reminiscent of New Buffalo. Very light pastel colors with some contrasting green accents throughout the interior, while the outside sitting area was designed to resemble a beach with umbrellas and stones for the flooring to resemble sand. The service was also fine. Nothing special to mention, but also no complaints. Quick, courteous, attentive, not overbearing at all. That's about where the good ends. The pricing is absolutely atrocious and borderline insulting for a multitude of reasons. The portions are way too small to justify the price. A skewer with 2 scallops costs $24. I haven't paid $24 for 2 scallops even in Michelin star restaurants, let alone Michigan Star restaurants. My 1 tostada with no sides, nothing else, cost $17. The small chicken sandwich was $19 and even that was overpriced for what it was. If they want to upcharge for service, they also have nothing to stand on. While I can't stress enough that I don't blame the staff for any of this, the fact of the matter is that these aren't professional waitstaff that make a career out of serving guests in a fine dining establishment, they are teenage busboys and early 20s students home for the summer. Which further makes it appalling that the lowest automatically selectable tip rate is 20%! The sheer audacity, and then the added audacity to be a cashless establishment. Again, this restaurant does not have any Michelin stars, professional waitstaff, a world class chef, or frankly anything to justify anything close to the pricing and the ridiculous portion sizes and lack of anything substantial on the menu. Absolutely disgraceful to think you can get away with this simply because wealthy tourists will flock from Chicago and spend money on a restaurant they wouldn't even consider going to were it an hour away in downtown Chicago. Ridiculously overpriced and should be ashamed to exist in New Buffalo only to cater to people who do not live there. read more

I was here during opening week with some friends and had a fabulous time! I don't know her name, but there's a fabulous bartender whomade us some delicious drinks and educated us on our liquor options as well as how some of the syrups/elixers were made! I had a chicken sandwich that was to die for! The dumplings were also fabulous! The vibe is fantastic! All of the decor is super unique, beachy, and sophisticated! Can't wait to return! read more

The food is great, the only bad thing is the long waiting list. will recommend to all. Great place to sit outside and have a couple beers.

Ok where to start? This place is SO cute! A+ for design and for having such a great attention to detail--I mean, the little mascot named Wess? Adorable. The story about how Post Boy got its name? No notes. The service was amazing--they did get busy but good for them! Our server Alex was still attentive and so so kind!! We ordered the Biang Biang shrimp which is like bang bang shrimp mixed with walnut shrimp (delish), the meatballs with udon noodles, and the bbq tandoori chicken thighs. We didn't love the meatballs (the texture was a little too soft and the sauce on top detracted from the yummy egg yolk caramel dipping sauce) but the udon noodles were solid (a cold, creamy pasta salad type side dish with the perfect amount of chili crisp). The chicken thighs though? Absolutely delicious! Tender, sweet, smoky... I give major kudos to Post Boy for taking risks with the menu. You might not love everything on the menu, but you're going to get a great assortment of things, find some fun surprises, and definitely leave wanting to try more. Just my kind of place. read more

Food was outstanding and service was just as amazing! Kolton was our server, he had the best recommendations and was so informative. My family and I already made reservations for our next visit! Definitely one of new favorites spots! Dim sum here we come! read more

Great food. Inventive menu. Casual ambience. We enjoined the biang bang shrimp, spicy scallops skewer and tandoori chicken. All great new takes on Asian classics They also offer more traditional items. The beverage list was also outstanding. Upbeat vibe and music. Gracious staff. read more

Absolutely loved our meal! My friend and I shared the smoked trout dip, Caesar salad, and both the chicken and scallop skewers -- every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. The restaurant itself is gorgeous too -- such an inviting and aesthetic space. Highly recommend for both the food and the vibe! read more

PostBoy - Spicy Bloody Mary - Burgers Near Me - New Buffalo, Michigan

This was just not it for us- I know everyone is calling it cute, but it's just kind of crazy and not really the backdrop I want for a meal. Even the penny tile in white grout table seemed a wild choice for a table top. The staff is friendly, but in a they talk too much way - I know that seems rude to say - but if you've experienced that you know what I mean. The music, oh my goodness I don't even know what to say here - pretty sure there was a song that was simply a solo recorder. The coffee is being poured from these huge white carafes that the staff cannot seem to manage and doesn't keep the coffee hot. At one point we all just had a laugh over these things. The food was fine, but fine isn't really enough to overcome these other points. read more

Fun outdoor seating area with good music and a unique menu for both food and drink. A little expensive but the dishes are fun to share and none of them are from the back of a Sysco truck. An all around fun afternoon. read more

We ate here at postboy and were very displeased with the food and it was a terrible experience in general. When we sat down and were looking at the menu, it was all very hard to understand and almost all of it was not pleasing. We got up to walk out before our waitress came to the table and she stopped us saying we would be missing out by leaving and that their food was made from fresh healthy ingredients and reassured us that she would walk us through the menu. So, we sat down and let her walk us through it even though we were still very confused. We hesitantly ordered our food and it was sub par at best. (4/10). The food was incredibly overpriced for the portions you get. My mother ordered an alcoholic beverage that was $17 and they didn't even put a shot of alcohol in the drink. Absolutely insane. I would not recommend this to anyone as there is an amazing place down the street called Stray Dog that was delicious. read more

Post boy is new and fresh with a modern take on old favorites. Great looking decor and terrific service by Sabrina, and a real pro as manager, Aaron.. They took care of the kids orders quickly, and our food and drinks were four star will be back. This summer the place will be packed so get there early. Just what New Buffalo needs! read more

PostBoy - Chicken sandwich and gnocchi! - Burgers Near Me - New Buffalo, Michigan

5 stars because the food is incredible, the restaurant is beautiful and their merch is so good. Fav items: chicken sando, biang biang shrimp, halibut, shrimp skewer, chicken thighs, burger (secret menu item) and the fries Service and cocktails are not great. Cocktails were unbalanced, too sweet. But the wine and beer list is good so I just switched to wine Service is lacking- staffing in a seasonal location must be tough. Servers just seemed inexperienced, didn't check in enough. We went twice in 1 week and will probably be back a third time before the end of our trip. Such a cool addition to the area. read more

The food is great, the noise level is horrible. I cannot go back to not be able to hear my friends across the table.

PostBoy has the most excellent shrimp. I had my portion in to-go box which food came prepared very lightly and delicious.

We loved it. Food snobs from Chicago. It kind of reminded me of Little Goat. We loved the atmosphere, cocktails, bbq carrots, corn dog, fried chicken sandwich, fries and scallops. Elevated for a tourist town spot. read more

PostBoy - Italian beer corn dog - Burgers Near Me - New Buffalo, Michigan

The only thing I like about the place was the vibe. Has an indoor outdoor bar vibe. the issue was the wait for food was over 30 minutes for literally one item. Don't come here for service or quality. They also were hesitant to put on the TV. They said it ruined the vibe because they only show black-and-white movies. Overpriced. It will only last because it's in a prime location in new Buffalo other than that go elsewhere. read more

Table for 2 on a Saturday night in January. The seasonal menu was inventive and all 4 of our dishes were perfectly prepared. We particularly loved the BBQ carrots and short rib. the short rib...really memorable...flavorful and the squash/aioli combo was delicious. Already planning a repeat visit with our foodie friends. read more

Water tastes like they scooped it out of the lake, fries were cold and expensive. For the corn dog - Even my grandma said "I ain't eating that". Diet Coke was pretty good though and they got cool glasses. read more

PostBoy - Burgers Near Me - New Buffalo, Michigan

Let's start with the vibes because this one of most well-executed interior and exterior design of a restaurant that I have ever seen. The space is big and open, very inviting and happening. The food was great too starting with the French Onion Dip. The prawn tiradito was also immersed in a delicious mixture of lardo, black garlic macha, and masa miso. We loved the sesame wings, decently large and a little sweet from the garlic honey. their caesar salad was different, well rounded with asian infleunce from the furikake and red miso. The mains were all hitters. First off, my favorite dish was the loaded potato gnocchi. true definition of loaded with the smoked bacon, citrus cream, and cheddar mornay, but what a genius idea to make these ingredients work with the gnocchi where the gnocchi literally soaked the cheddar mornay. their chicken sandwich good, but I like chicken sandwiches with less leafyness, and interestingly enough the texture was reminsicent of katsu. I really enjoyed the burger, the boom sauce added some sweetness to the burger, and the shredded lettuce threw in some texture. The bun at the bottom got too many juices on it, so I do recommend using a nice for the burger. Their dessert was very fun with tons of crunch and fluffy marshmallows to create a campire ready smores tres leches. Great addition overall to the New Buffalo dining scene. read more

PostBoy - Burgers Near Me - New Buffalo, Michigan

Lots of creamy sides. Every dish comes with a creamy side. Even the fries. Did I mention the creamy sides?

Service was good and food was delicious. I got the chicken sandwich and my friend got the burger. It was a big piece of chicken that was cooked perfectly. Not dry but juicy and seasoned well. I enjoyed my sandwich. The burger looked great and my friend said it was great and it hit the spot. Everything was a la carte, which was a bit disappointing. The fries were delish. We ordered them plain but they still put seasoning on them. The seasoning was a bit zippy but not offensive and actually after eating a few they were great. read more

We had a wonderful time at Post Boy! My mom and I tried the chicken thighs and bbq carrots. Both delicious and the space is gorgeous! Can't wait until the weather gets warm again so we can enjoy their beautiful patio. read more

The service, ambience, and drinks are great. The food is very mediocre. I had the bucatini, my partner had the chicken thighs. I was happy to have tried it, but don't think I'll be going back. read more

TLDR: overpriced but has potential. This place was okay. I appreciate what they were trying to do with the food and concept; however, the restaurant has so much seating indoor and outdoor but they were making people wait for seats to give the kitchen a break? To avoid waiting for a table, we sat at the bar and our food came out right away so the whole seating thing didn't make sense to us. Then, our order got a little messed up (fries came out that we didn't order and corn dog that we did order was not sent through and we had to ask for it later). The fries were pretty unavoidable once they came out because they looked so good so we ended up eating them and paying for them which was okay. Our main issue with the restaurant was the price of the menu compared to how it was being operated. However, I think these growing pains can get worked out and improve over time and it's worth it to give this place a try especially for groups as the front patio is very spacious and accommodating. read more

We stopped in on a Sunday night during the 4th of July week, GREAT drinks and great bar service. We didn't try any food, definitely will be back for food at a later date... great place read more

Had a lovely dinner with my husband for our anniversary! The food was delicious! We had the bang bang shrimp, scallop skewers, Italian beef corn dog, chicken sandwich, and chicken thighs. The cocktails were also amazing! Picky eaters will struggle with the menu, but we enjoyed everything we ate. read more

This restaurant is a surprise. The interior is tastefully done. It's welcoming and has a large outdoor patio with an indoor outdoor bar. We were there prior to the grand opening. They already had the service at a high level. For menu items we weren't sure about, our waiter mentioned what his favorites were and recommended some very tasty items. Being a vegetarian, I opted for the sweet potato. It was delicious. read more

Amazing drinks and atmosphere! I've been to multiple places in new buffalo and this place is my new favorite! Great service

Dear Post Boy, What has happened? Winter into spring last year you were phenomenal and the menu was great and every dish was phenomenal. Tried the menu last season a few times and it just wasn't for me. Now that the menu has changed again for the fall I was excited to try it out. Hearing your parents are divorcing would have been better news than what this menu is. The once legendary fries are over seasoned and over priced fries from rally's with a what appears to be leftover Dean's dip. 17 dollar shrimp that is just underwhelming overall, no brightness or citrus to make it a worthwhile dish. Now on to the main catastrophes. The bucatini and the beef cheek pie. If multiple members of your staff give warning about these dishes and even recommend not ordering one and it's been this way for weeks, there's a problem. The bucatini was so overcooked it tastes like paper pulp. Zero flavor in it and disastrous texture. The pie, dear lord a deer wouldn't eat it as a salt lick given how salty it was. No richness to it or savory aspect to save it, every bite was chunk of salt no matter what. I also don't understand how having four different members at your bar where we had been seated on a more casual night took over 10 minutes for them to interact with us and another 15 to take our orders. I don't know if it's a gen z/gen alpha thing but staring at us rather than initiating the conversation and giving us a rundown on the menu or the specials or telling us what wine you have is pretty damn standard in more upscale venture. Post boy can only be saved by some of their more experienced servers and their incredible bar manager for so long. If they don't get it turned around it will become the Stray Dog 2.0 t shirt shop and all but for Illinois suburban tourists that watched the bear. read more

Amazing place!! Each item of food has such a taste sensation. Highly recommend! Make reservations if you can.

Dont'e Shaw is a wonderful Chef, his food is amazing. I like the outside garden with the fire pits and the cute "Store"

The food and service were outstanding. We went as a group of 8 on Saturday afternoon. A disappointment ...the whole menu is not available for lunch service. Otherwise... outstanding. read more

I'm sorry. The portions the service the surrounding and the flavors do not justify the 127$ lunch for two that I experienced at PostBoy last week !!! The room is very attractive and when these people face reality and close I do hope we get a good restaurant in this gorgeous new space !!!! read more

Great service, great food, lovely room and patio. Wonderful addition to New Buffalo.

The service , the food and the desserts were fantastic. Try all the ice creams, don't miss any of them. The trout dip was yummy , ordered two. The salads were fantastic and the corn dog was a hit. Ask for Grace, she was knowledgable and interesting! We ate everything and only got one pic! read more

We popped in to grab a quick drink on a Saturday, mid-afternoon. The place was maybe 1/3rd full, at most. We sat at the bar. We sat for 5-10 minutes and no one even talked to us, much less asked what we wanted or even acknowledged that we were there. They saw us. There were three bartenders, and it was not crowded. We just left. read more

Postboy is a true gem! The food is creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The aesthetic is gorgeous, stylish modern, but warm. Montauk meets Michigan. So many details - a terrazzo bar, vintage inspired fixtures, etc. the staff is friendly and clearly passionate. A must-visit- Excited for the summer patio season. read more
