I was pleasantly surprised to stumble across a black-owned spot serving up a delicious brunch and great drinks.
Post & Beam does not disappoint on food quality. We ordered chicken & waffles (not pictured) and the pecan pie French toast with a side of eggs and bacon. Everything came out top-notch, and quite honestly, that was one of the best French toasts I've ever had. The eggs came out perfectly scrambled and seasoned. I washed it all down with a ginger mojito, which was as unique as it was satisfying.
The vibe was also a hit. While hidden in the corner of a shopping center, you almost forget where you are, and you're immediately hit with the sounds of comfort and enjoyment when you walk in. It's like a little food oasis in an area that isn't known for its top-notch food excursions.
The down-side: service. To be clear, everyone who helped serve us - including the host - was super nice. This is simply a note to the management that execution of the meal needs to tighten up. My friend's meal came out with my sides about 10 minutes before my entree. The servers didn't know who ordered what. My sides were cold by the time my entree arrived, and the waffles came out with no syrup. Upon my friend asking for a straw for his water, the server came back with a stirrer.
None of this is terrible. It didn't impact the quality of the food or my willingness to return. Just noting some work that needs to be done. ?

Last Sunday, we went to brunch for Jamie's birthday. The spot was called Post & Beam in LA. We made a reservation for patio seating. It was busy, so we still had a little wait when we arrived. We started off with Jerk Chicken Wings. I had the Oxtail Hash with a side of waffle. Tasha had the chicken and waffle with a side of scrambled cheese eggs. The birthday girl had a Ribeyes with eggs and potatoes. Everything was so good! Can't forget the bottomless mimosas! Very chill, 90s R&B type of atmosphere/vibe. Definitely a place we'd visit again!

I was so excited to have my birthday dinner here. I had been wanting to go for a few years. Gathered my family and we went tonight. Although the food was good. The service and simply trying to pay wasn’t. 1. We ordered items they didn’t know was out. 2. I simply tried to add tomatoes to my salad and was told “ if I put that on the notes, they’ll get mad”. Followed by there may not be any tomatoes prepared which would also cause a problem. I then ordered something to be separated for a to go order and after paying was told there was a mistake on my charges and I in fact hadn’t paid for the to go order because the waitress mistakenly added my order to another tables order. After some confusion I offered to give the side dish of Brussels back and was told I could keep them as a comp. The waitress then came back and took them back after repeatedly saying she didn’t add them to my order. It was very frustrating and disappointing for my birthday dinner.

Food: 30 lin to get 2 lemonades. 45 min to get 1/2 of the appetizer ordered. We ordered devilled eggs and a side of grilled shrimp. The grilled shrimp came out in 45 min. The deviled eggs came out close to10 min later leaving the shrimp cold. The devilled eggs were delicious and the grilled shrimp were well cooked. Our mains came our soon after we finished our appetizers. We ordered blackened catfish and grits with smoked bacon. It was very tasty, but the grits were very watery and the catfish overcooked. We were never checked on and had to flag down our waiter for salt or to check on our food or drinks.
Host & Service: To start the greeting was not great. The Hostess just stared until I asked for a table for 2. She then asked if Ai had reservations and I told her we did not. She said all tables inside and out were booked and I could only sit at the bar. At that time on 2 tables outside had seated guests and 4 tables inside. 1.5 hours later, only half the inside tables were seated and 25% of the outside tables. That is awful customer service.

Omg it was the best experience. Me and my friends throughly enjoyed our first time dining at this urban food restaurant. We were especially impressed with the young servers. Atmosphere was so cool. Definitely looking forward to visiting again.

Brunch menu was small, but every dish was fully flavorful. Absolutely delicious. Enjoyed the bottomless Mimosas and so glad they use Wycliff sparkling Wine.

Like a lot of people here, I was really excited to support a black owned restaurant, especially one that looked high end or classy. However, I was highly disappointed.
The atmosphere and music were nice. Unfortunately you can’t eat atmosphere & music and that was the only good thing about this establishment.
I had the braised short ribs, shrimp & grits, collard greens, Mac & Cheese, and cornbread. The food was nasty. I mean every single item I ate. It was either salty (short ribs), dry (cornbread), or watery (grits). As for the service, it was OK, nothing special.
I really wanted to like this place but the overall experience was very disappointing. Definitely won’t be back.

Stopped in for brunch before a flight home. Reservations suggested!! The host was nice and seated my friend and I! I love when I can see the chef preparing all of the lovely foods and they were lively indeed. The smoked wings were falling off the bone and flavorful, the catfish nuggets were fresh and crisped to perfection. The shrimp and grits are divine. Plus the mimosas were flowing. Awesome service, nice decor, plenty of parking and a cute patio. I give it a 10/10. Anytime I return to LA, post & beam is definitely on the itinerary
