We had a pleasant evening. Cocktails were good but low on alcohol, nearly nonexistent. Our waiter forgot our calamari. I was very grateful for this! We got truffle gnocchi which was delightful and scallop and shrimp pasta. Entrees were very good. Bread was also warm and tasty. Side salads are robust. Bring your appetite. We were stuffed ! Overall, positive experience. read more

Visited last weekend. Crab bisque was excellent as always. For my entree I had the mushroom gnocchi which was so tasty! Loved the garlicky cream sauce with it. This item also comes with a salad. Finally I tried the creme brûlée which is huge and could easily be shared. My brother got the shrimp and grits which he thought was great! Good service as well. read more

Great food, great service, never disappointed! Staff is always friendly and accommodating!

What a fantastic experience. Our server, Chris did an excellent job in helping us select our meals as well as our beverages. One person in our party had a special diet and he made sure their need was met. Great place, I can't wait to go back. Thank you, Chris! read more

Everything was wonderful! The ambience, the service, and especially the food! Best cream of crab soup I have literally ever had!

Buck a Shuck on Tuesdays! Great place for dinner. Love there Caesar salad and fish and chips.

Holy cow this place is great!! Started with the Burrata app and had the pork chop. My brother had the short rib. Food was top notch and the portions were huge. The value at this place is also outstanding. Beers, app and entree with tip was less than what we spent the night before at BWW before tip. read more

We had great service! Every dish that we had was absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming.

We arrived early at 4:30pm when it was least crowded. The hostess was rather surly and seated us at a table by an interior side door that kept shaking every time someone entered or exited the restaurant front doors. It was socially distant though from other tables so that was a plus but it was an odd location when the restaurant wasn't that crowded. The waitress was very friendly and new to working at The First Post. We enjoyed our discussion with her about the menu although she couldn't give recommendations as she hadn't had the opportunity to try the food yet as they hadn't offered her a tasting. But she could tell us what was most popular from taking orders. The shrimp tempura appetizer was a good choice - the shrimp themselves were cooked perfectly and the dipping sauce and tempura were just right! Excellent texture and flavors and the presentation was really impressive stacked on a volcano of slaw. The slaw flavor itself was a bit of a disappointment - tasted like slaw mixed with teriyaki sauce which was an unappealing flavor. I would still recommend just for the shrimp. Steak Cobb salad was very good. The seasoned steak was flavorful and very tender and the salad was a large portion with mixed greens. The Smith Island cake for dessert was the real thing! It was excellent - it was the true layers of yellow cake with the thin chocolate ganache-like icing and not heavy bakers icing (as some use). I'm from Maryland so I know a good Smith Island cake and I would recommend The First Post. read more

i highly recommend this place! the food was amazing. i got the steak frites and my grandma got scallops. we both were very pleased! our dessert, the nutella cheesecake, was also delicious. the ambiance is pretty quiet and peaceful, we had a seat right by the window which was nice. ample parking in the parking lot. our server, kevin, was fantastic! read more

This is one of the higher end restaurants in York. The food is consistently good, and the dishes are much more interesting than what you'll find around most of the area. They do switch up the menu quite a bit which is a blessing and a curse -- if you find something you love it might be gone. There are a few things that are staples including the lettuce wraps, mini gyros, & Greek salad. The Greek salad is probably the best one I've ever had, if not the best salad I've ever had. Something to note though, their salads are absolutely massive. As in, could easily feed 3 people in my opinion. We love the burrata which alternates different iterations seasonally. The restaurant itself has an old world feel inside and out. It looks almost like it doesn't belong where it is, but it certainly adds some charm to the area. The service is also pretty consistent, our only gripe there is that brunch is hit or miss as in, sometimes it's available and other times it isn't. We've stopped trying to visit for brunch for that reason. Other than that, it's a solid spot. read more

Had to wait hour and a half . Left and went to white rose. Very disappointed!!I think it's stupid my survey has to be eighty letters!!!!!

Amazing everything!!!!!!! Food is great! Service is great! Ambiance is great! My absolute favorite restaurant in York!

Our first trip to the first post was great. Nearly the entire menu was interesting and we wished we could have tried more things. We ended up trying all sorts of appetizers and some dessert. We'll be back to try some of the dinner menu items. read more

Found this place on a business trip to York. The food was exceptional, and the atmosphere is very New England Tavern. Had the crab balls on the happy hour menu, which were excellent, and had the broiled scallops with and do we sausage grits cake and snow peas. Also excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend this place. read more

Bottom Line: American comfort food in an immaculately restored historic building. My first impressions of The First Post was that it is huge and it must be one of the nicest places to eat in York. The First Post was recently renovated and I don't think any expense was spared. Front the outside The First Post looks colonial to me but on the inside it felt more Victorian/saloon-ish. Whatever the style is called, the architecture and detailed decorating really give this place a lot of charm. Accompanying the charm of the building is the classy atmosphere. Although The First Post is well appointed it is still kinda casual and definitely comfortable. As for the menu, the fare is American and there is plenty to pick from including soups, salads, apps, sandwiches, steaks and seafood. Despite a diverse menu with lots of delicious options like Filet Mignon and Pan Seared Rock Fish I got an old fashioned cheese burger and it really hit the spot on a cold November night. For those wanting drinks or a small bite, the bar area is large and welcoming. Back to the decor, BF and I sat on the perimeter of the dining room which was made to resemble a wrap around porch. There were windows looking out to the parking lot but also into the main dining room. On the ceiling there was tongue and groove wainscoting and hanging baskets with ferns. Despite being inside, it felt very porch like. Unfortunately with all of those windows it was a bit chilly. Our waiter needed a little refinement but otherwise this was a great dining experience. read more

Service very good. Table wasn't what we reserved for Father's Day. Food ok, but not dazzling matching the price.

I love this restaurant. The environment is attractive. The servers are always helpful and polite. The food is wonderful and always well-prepared. I absolutely love their Cioppino, a delicious Italian-American stew made with a medley of fresh seafood in a rich tomato and wine broth. I haven't found another restaurant in the area with it on their menu. read more

Had dinner here last week. Fired calamari was excellent. Pierogis were good as well. Preferred if they were crispier. Sour cream with bacon and chives was a nice compliment to them. For the main entree I enjoyed the grilled meatloaf with bacon. Highly recommend it. My guest enjoyed the Cioppino (fish stew). He was impressed by the amount of fresh seafood in his dish. We went on a Friday night and didn't make reservations. I highly suggest you do. It was an over an hour and half wait for a table. Luckily we found a spot at the bar. Apparently this is the place to eat if in York,PA. The place was packed. Nice decor. 4.5 out of 5. I highly recommend this place. read more

Excellent service! No issues with food, loved the scotch eggs! It's the people that worked there that made the difference. Super pro

Just visited one of the jewels of York. As always our dinner was Great! Want to let everyone know about our server. Ask for Shandi, very attentive, friendly and she made our dining experience wonderful. Make sure to ask for her if you want to have a supreme dining experience. We will definitely be back. read more

The Cippino was so bland. The bread with it was positively dripping with butter, supposed to be crusty so you can dip in the broth. Limited seafood in the dish and it all had a very fishy taste. We went here -and a pretty long drive at that -on a recommendation and it just was not good. read more

Went there for a presentation and free food. The menu was limited due to the presentation. Very nice inside and plenty of parking. Would like to go again to check out the rest of the menu. I had the 1/2 chicken, it was deboned to my surprise. Very good flavor. Would eat again. read more

Wow, this spot was a total random Yelp search surprise. I love the remodel decor and the ambiance is totally awesome. We sat in the bar and it was a lot of fun. For a Monday night, the place was jamming and very lively with a great crowd bellying up to the bar and several groups at the surrounding bar tables. I really like the style, very classy. I am an appetizer guy!!!!! The scotch egg (see pic) are to die for, absolutely incredible. The calamari is equally terrific. On the app menu, there was so much I wanted to try....... I did have the french onion soup, it was okay, 5 out of 10, about average, not complaining - but that is my thing, I have had some french onion soup - all over the world and I am very picky......Just sayin'. Next time I will try the crab soup!!! I had the scallops for my main, they were terrific, big and cooked perfectly. The service was great and overall we had a great time!!! read more

Party of Three three different entrees. 1st) Fish n Chips, 2nd) special of the night "all seasons Halibut". 3) Shrimp and sausage Pantera. All three meals were awesome, delicious food. Service super good, super-fast, and polite. Meals worth the fair price. Atmosphere warm comfortable inviting. Can't think of anything that wasn't worth it. read more

Stopped by for lunch as I was passing through York. I had high hopes given the reviews, but the experience was a let down. I ordered the Crab and Corn Fettuccine from the lunch menu, thinking it would be enough. Nope. I got a small cup of pasta with a few pieces of crab. I literally finished it in three bites. The taste was fine, but I was definitely expecting a larger portion. I ended up also ordering a plate of calamari just to fill my hunger. read more

Pleasant service. We both had the Caesar salad. My dining partner really liked the barbecued shrimp which topped the salad. The salad itself was mediocre. Fresh lettuce with a bland dressing and finely shredded Parmesan cheese. That is not a Caesar salad. A Caesar salad consists of anchovy dressing, shaved pecorino Romano cheese and olives. Close but not good enough. read more

I've heard many great things about The First Post so we decided to give it a try at lunchtime. The atmosphere is very comfortable with lots of wooden accents. Our waitress was attentive. We had the calamari to start which was very good and we really liked the sauce on the side. I enjoyed my Post burger, it was juicy and delicious. I would definitely recommend it. My husband got the Nashville Hot chicken sandwich. Now, it wasn't an actual Nashville hot chicken sandwich, more like a fried chicken sandwich with mild aioli. Despite that it was still good, just not what we consider "Nashville hot chicken". All in all we would go back again. I'd like to try their seafood. read more
