First Post is a fixture in our regular date night rotation and for good reason as you can always count on great food and attentive service. The charred octopus was an interesting combination of tastes. The bowl of cream of crab was one of the better ones we tasted though it was so very rich and filling that a cup would have been more suitable. The crab cakes and salmon were excellent, cooked to perfection with great flavors. We left full and satisfied. We will definitely be back!

Overpriced and underfriendly.
We’ve lived in York for six years now and have been going to the First Post all this time — with mixed results. Generally, we have no major complaints, but there are a few pet peeves. And, unfortunately, our last visit on New Year’s Eve (2025) was our worst visit yet.
Let’s start with the young ladies at the front desk. Their cordiality often seems forced. When we walk in, we always test them, saying, “hello,” then deliberately pausing for a response. Most of the time, they can’t be bothered to return our greeting. They just look at you with a “What do you want?” kinda look. This last visit was one of those times. Whatever. No biggie.
More importantly, the food has gotten more expensive, yet the portions have gotten much smaller. My girlfriend ordered the Fettucine Alfredo with salad on the side. For $25, she got a tiny bowl of pasta, with three shrimp, and half a plate of iceberg lettuce (see pic). We asked our young waiter if he had given us the correct order — not raising our voices, mind you, just incredulous by this paltry serving. Offended, he threw up his hands, said, “That’s all we have,” and stormed off.
We asked to see the manager and told him what occurred, letting him know that we are regulars and demand much more respect — again, never raising our voices. With great tact, he calmly explained that, being late afternoon, we were still getting the “lunch portion.” Okay, fine. That’s all that needed to be said. (Still not happy, but at least he explained the situation.) Moreover, he gave us half off the Alfredo. We thanked him.
To his credit, our waiter did apologize and wish us a Happy New Year, and we returned the sentiment. (This is why there are three, not two, stars.)
While we may return at some point, to see if they’ve taken any of this to heart, we’re still going to search for a new “go-to” in the area.

Absolute gem. Lexi our server was fantastic, the pork chop was life changing and the French onion soup was a religious experience. We aren’t local (about 2 hours away)but we will absolutely be back

Don’t let the modest exterior fool you—stepping into The First Post feels like discovering a well-kept secret. While it might look small from the street, the interior is surprisingly spacious, boasting an incredible ambiance that captures that classic, cozy “old-time pub” soul.
The Vibe: Perfect for anyone who loves a rustic, warm atmosphere without feeling cramped.
The Service: The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome the moment we walked in.
The Food: * For Seafood Lovers: The freshness is undeniable. I highly recommend the Halibut; it was cooked to perfection and paired beautifully with a rich shiitake mushroom risotto.
For Vegans: They haven’t forgotten about you! The cream of cauliflower soup is excellent—velvety, flavorful, and a must-try.
Whether you’re looking for a hearty meal or just a great spot to soak in a bit of history, this place delivers. I’ll definitely be back!

The food never disappoints! Best French onion soup I’ve had and I order it everywhere. Great staff and atmosphere, too. The other dish was a burrata and eggplant appetizer.

Took my son and daughter-in-law here for a birthday. This place is a must if you are in York I ordered the Korean beef short rib and it was nothing short of fantastic. Had the Oreo cheesecake for dessert, and was so good. Everyone at our table had a wonderful meal. We will be back!

Ava was an amazing server! She was very kind and helpful.
The food was delicious! I recommend the Scotch Eggs, Gouda Onion Burger, and the Andes Mint Chocolate drink. I got the S’mores Flourless Chocolate Cake which was a little heavy for me but everyone else loved it!
The atmosphere was great, it was giving historic and comfy. We also had a nice window view!

The food is amongst the best in York, with staff that has always been extremely friendly and helpful. This is one of my favorite local places to go. They also have (in my experience ) the best lobster roll in PA

I came in on Friday evening, as you can imagine it was quite busy. I suggest make a reservation before coming. However the food was wonderful and the service was attentive without feeling rushed.
I’ve seen a few reviews about the hostesses that didn’t match our experience. The lady who greeted us was friendly and welcoming, and she chatted with us while we waited. I had requested to sit somewhere with a view and she had someone take us to a table overlooking the parking lot, which was nice. It may sound simple, but we appreciated the effort.
All in all, we had a very enjoyable visit and left feeling satisfied. We will certainly be back.
