“Today, had lunch at The First Post in York, PA. The place is nice and spacious, located on East Market Street. Our party of four shared a ravioli appetizer and had French Onion soup. Both were delicious!!! Easily the best French Onion soup I've eaten!!! For lunch, we each had something different. My Aunt had Salmon Salad. My wife had The Post Steak Sandwich with fries. Our son had the Blackened Shrimp Alfredo. I settled for.the Fish & Chips!! Each of us loved our meals - taking at least half home!! The portions were enormous!!! To wrap up, we decided on some dessert. My Aunt and wife had the Creme Brulee. My son and I had the Chocolate Reese Cake Tort. So good!!!! Service was phenomenal!! If in the York, PA area, you MUST stop in and eat up!!!“

“Waitress Tiffany was very nice along with the cook! Cute place to grab a bit to eat❤️ Keep up the good work!“

“When friends come to town we go to Bully’s. It is the place to go for casual upscale dining in Columbia. I have been taking guests there since Dave and Sherry opened 25 years ago and have always had a great experience. There are always great choices on the menu and the atmosphere is fun and historic. The unique wedge shaped site at the intersection of Lancaster Avenue and Union Street features plenty of parking and an onsite bakery. The owners are great supporters of the community and have been hands-on in all aspects of the operation. Well appointed guest rooms are available above the restaurant. If you want a great meal, a wide selection of beverages and an enjoyable experience visit Bully’s soon.“

“Our son's wedding reception was held here, and it was our first time visiting. I was being a bit nosy about the basement when a gentleman who worked there noticed and kindly asked if we’d like to take a peek. Thank you again — that small gesture showed how much you care about your visitors’ experience. During the reception, a family with three young kids started to get a little bored. That same gentleman came out with a basket of brand-new Matchbox cars and gave each child one. Wow! What a thoughtful and above-and-beyond thing to do. You truly helped make their day — and ours — even brighter. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality!“

“Total experience top tier. The authenticy from the people to the place sent me in overload of nostalgia reminiscing from when my Nanny was alive & visiting her and being in her kitchen (she had same type of tables and older kitchen gadgets, right down to the whiskey container's too) with her cooking breakfast. Everything sent me into an emotional rollercoaster it was the saddest but best feeling ever! Thank you!“

“Went in front door walked down hallway, was greeted but a nice person named Matt A, which ended up being our waiter! Very nice waiter. Food was as described from waiter, I give the food a 9 out of 10. Will definitely be going back to try more of their dishes. I had fish and chips, and my blind date had the pesto samon pasta.“

“We had the most incredible dinner this evening with Bri as our waitress. She was so personable, so engaging with our daughter, and had great recommendations! Food and drinks were great per usual — crab cakes and scallops always hit!“

“Had our last 2 high school reunions here.“

“About a year ago, I went to John Wright Restaurant for Sunday brunch with a group of friends. I didn’t know what to expect, but the moment I arrived, I was struck by the beautiful waterfront scenery and the stunning, rustic building. Inside, that old-world charm blends perfectly with an upscale dining vibe, giving the place a truly special and unique energy. The brunch was absolutely delicious—so many options, including my personal favorite, eggs Benedict. Fast forward to last night: I stopped in for happy hour with a friend, and we grabbed seats at the bar. It was surprisingly comfortable and not overcrowded at all. The two bartenders were fantastic—warm, funny, and attentive. And the cocktails… OH MY GOSH. Just try them. You’ll thank me later! We ordered the calamari and crab risotto small plates, and they were so good that we immediately ordered a second round of the exact same thing. From a relaxed Sunday brunch, to after-work apps and cocktails, to a special dinner out—John Wright Restaurant gets a solid 10/10 from me. 🍽️“

“When they remodeled I was hoping the food got better also. It did not. Been going here for 20 years of my life, and started taking my kids there. Mediocre food at best.“

“Best around!“

“Be careful if going here. It looks like they are having real issues with trouble makers, which can happen with any tavern along the river. About 10 days ago they confronted a person outside who refused to pay. That guy pulled a gun on the employee and threatened to shoot them in the head. Look online, you'll see the news story. We went there with another couple anyway for supper aware of the situation that possibly the management wasn't able to keep the trouble out of the place. Within minutes Courtney had our drinks at the table and placed our food orders ... and then some white trash at the bar left out a super loud screech or whistle looking for attention. It was bad. Then he did it again a few minutes later and left. One more time and I'd have gotten involved. The owner needs to hire some beefy enforcement right now to keep a handle on this or the place is going to get a reputation like the Bainbridge Inn as a good place to raise hell and start a fight. NOT date night atmosphere.“

“wonderful retro diner. you can eat in or they have some tables outside. if you go for ice cream 🍦 you can walk up to the outside order window! the weekly soft serve is 💋 delicious!“

“Pleasant Asmus fear great service always a good time with good people“

“We go a few times a month. Always good food. Always good service. Will be back. Thank you!“

“Valentines Dinner was great, peaceful atmosphere with friendly people.“

“Ate in the catacombs last night. I am a huge foodie and was looking forward to the atmosphere of the restaurant. It did not disappoint. Jack, our server was great, the food and drinks were amazing. Overall an excellent experience, we will return!“

“First time visit for lunch today. This place is OUTSTANDING in every category! I got the turkey club and my wife got the grilled chicken salad. Both were delicious! We saved room for dessert and got a grilled peach muffin and coffee. KILLER! Very friendly staff, and exceptionally clean throughout. Can’t wait to go back and try breakfast.“

“We stay there at least twice a year when we go to Events at Mount Hope Winery. The rooms are great and the resteraunt/bar never disappoints ( huge selection of seasonal beer/ cocktails) They even have a great selection of gluten free items at breakfast“

“When we go we always sit at the bar. The staff are a riot and make you feel at home. Hanging with the regulars is very entertaining and enjoyable! Everything we’ve ordered has been delicious!“

“Best Burgers in town and bottomless fries. You cannot go wrong at the fixins bar. When I think of burgers I think of Fuddruckers“

“What a hidden treasure !!! Best diner in Lancaster County!! Their rye toast , home fries , ham are incredible! Everything we had was home made and absolutely delicious!“

“great food and great service!“

“They Have the best chicken Caesar salad!“

“Beanie’s delivers exactly what a local bar & grill should: bold portions and punchy flavor. The Volcano Burger was a full send. Juicy patty, onion rings stacked high, jalapeños, salsa and ranch. A punch full of flavor. The Southwest Chipotle wings had that smoky heat balance dialed in. Not just spice for shock value — actual flavor layered in. The patty melt leaned classic comfort with a side of fries. Nothing over the top. It was perfect, and seasoned beautifully. The mild wings over fries (Monday deal win) proved you can still get a solid meal for just $10. The nachos? Exactly what you want. Cheese, jalapeños, taco meat onions, salsa and sour cream. Atmosphere-wise, it feels local in the best way — relaxed on one side, bar going on the other. Perfect mix for introverts and extroverts. This is the kind of spot that builds community through food and friends. Sincerely , Full Effect Eats ❤️🍽️“

“Came to the restaurant for the first time on Saturday night. Great meal, great service. Lots more things to try next time. Will definitely be back!“

“We normally don't eat in the restaurant. I order on-line and pick it up. The food is very good and the order is always ready on time. Sometimes when I want a little less food, I'll order from the children's menu. It always includes a small drink and a small dessert. You can't go wrong with that.“

“Excellent food. Certainly recommend this place. First time here, definitely coming again!“

“Played today for the first time with 2 friends. Greens were in good shape, tee boxes were a bit rough. Bummed that bar and restaurant were not open after our round. Would definitely play here again though.“

“Awesome place!!! Always enjoy going here.“

“Food is amazing! Our waitress was kind and welcoming. The only issue (if you want to call it an issue) was we got parked in- but the lot was full when we left so it was totally understandable. 10/10 would recommend and will be returning!“

“Best steak and eggs I’ve had easily in the last decade. All the portions were huge. Entire family raved about the meal. Only thing that makes me sad about here is I didn’t know until today that they existed but we will definitely be back! Staff very nice and personable also. Not a negative thing to say honestly.“

“went there for lunch ,we were greeted by great waitress and the food was outstanding their specials were great ànd very reasonable and their bar drink special was great going to go there more offen!“

“Neighborhood bar and grill in a great old building.
Great comfort food and and very good menu. Prices were slightly high but very generous portions. Our son had the buffalo mac &, cheese, I had the French dip, my wife had the open faced turkey sandwich and our son's girlfriend had the mashed potato bowl, which was part of the winter comfort menu. Everything was perfectly done and most of us had enough to take home.
Dessert menu was limited but all options were very good.
Fun drinks and good portions.
Alissa, our server, was very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable.
On street parking but plenty in the area.
Will probably become a go-to place for us.“

“Came into this place on a whim today, and SO glad I did! The thin crust pizza was amazing - brought home half and it crisped right back up when I reheated it. Also had a cheese steak Stromboli which was delish. The Italian sub I had needed more meat and cheese inside of it, but good flavors. The waitress was super friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!“

“I have read all the reviews others have written and I agree whole heartedly with the great food, the wonderful friendly and family oriented atmosphere, and the extremely attentive service . I have been coming every week with my mentor and awesome friend to get caught up and to break bread together over the past year. The owners are so kind and friendly. I truly believe their mission there is to provide a wonderfully wholistic family dining experience that leaves the customer feeling cared for.“

“My husband and I tried this establishment for the first time last night. We were greeted right away and told to sit where we liked. Our waitress came by our table a couple minutes later to take our drink order. My husband had a bacon cheeseburger and fries, and I ordered a large dinner salad and a chicken breast sandwich. I also ordered a side of cinnamon applesauce and a side of coleslaw. Our food came out pretty quickly. My salad was fresh and my grilled chicken was very tasty. My husband said his bacon cheeseburger was done perfectly. The coleslaw was just a tad bit on the sweet side, but still flavorful. I really enjoyed the applesauce; it wasn't overly sweet and there was just the right amount of cinnamon on it. The restaurant was clean and the staff were super friendly. The best part was we didn't have to spend a fortune for a nice dinner.“

“Wow….the service here from Eddie and Jen is out of this world! We rarely go out anymore because prices are crazy and people are awful. So glad we came here - great food, UNBELIEVABLE service, and fair prices. We’ll be back for sure!!!“

“The people that work there are GREAT! I love the events like Pocus Focus, karaoke and BINGO.“

“Food and service was amazing!! Some of the best pizza around!“

“FANTASTIC broiled crabcakes for a VERY reasonable price. WILL BE BACK!!!!!“

“Everyone there is so friendly, respectful and welcoming. They treat you like family. They are so accommodating. We held our daughter and son-in-law’s 25th Anniversary there and they were absolutely amazing. The food was absolutely delicious. We strongly recommend you visit them for we know that you won’t be disappointed.“

“i enjoy the bagels but please stop making your coffees beyond strong. quite alot of people are complaining about this to the cafe and no one is doing anything about it 🥴“

“The bartender Dana was friendly. She greeted and sat us. Our server Francheska was kind and attentive! The owner Joy stopped at our table which I thought was cool. Good prices and good food!“

“We had a great experience and the food was good! They have great variety and everyone could find something that they liked, and desserts were great as well. The only reason it wasn't 5 starts is that I would rather the food be served all at once rather than in shifts so everyone finished eating at different times and made entertaining kids a bit more difficult.
(Also they are not as easy to eat gluten free as they were in the past)“
