This was without a doubt the worst meal I've ever had in my entire life. My husband ordered the hamburger steak which came out almost raw and mooing. Sent back for more cook time. Came back cooked but the meat was horrible tasting and had a terrible smell. The grits were beyond horrible and cold. I had the honey fried flounder which was also undercooked. I will never, ever return to this restaurant.

Had a great dinner experience with our family including our 7 year old son! Felicia was very attentive and took great care of us! Fried scallops, fresh salad, grits, filet mignon, ribeye and fried flounder were delicious! Finished dinner off with a homemade blueberry cobbler and icecream! We will be back! Been trying to come here for years while on vacation and it was definitely worth the wait! Thank you Felicia! ?

It was our first time, we came with friends who come every year, they highly recommended it, but we were all disappointed. There were two positive things: Our server was Felicia and she was amazing! She recommended, or I'll say practically insisted that we add blue cheese crumbles to our salad and it was great.It was Friday 7pm and based upon their prior experiences our friends were surprised that we were able to get reservations. The hostess was pleasant and polite and we were seated quickly, there were only about 5 other tables. We quickly learned why the place was empty. Once we got past the salads the food was a disaster. We each ordered something different, all the food was over cooked, over seasoned and cold. Scrimp and grits was watery, the flounder was the worst, so salty and over cooked that my wife couldn't even eat one bite.This place was a favorite over the years for our friends, sadly none of will ever be back.

This place is just using the location for a money grab. Stupid expensive for less than standard food. First the appetizers were $8-$10 for 3 little mushrooms with cheese sauce or a couple of cornbread muffins lol. Then they charged us $2.50 for every soda refill they brought without bothering to mention it. Most of the meals came with a side salad, the server asked if we wanted blue cheese crumbles but she never bothered mentioning that that was another $2.50 per. The entrees were ok, too small and too expensive but they were edible. Then the check came, not only did they include a 20% tip but they also charged me 3.5% for using my credit card. I will never go back here. Most overpriced underwhelming experience I’ve had in a long time. Just plain greedy. Beautiful beach, terrible food choices.

We had high hopes since this used to be one of the nicest restaurants in Edisto. We quickly realized that we made a huge mistake. Our first clue was that there were barely any customers on a Saturday night at 6pm. The "filet mignon" was absolutely terrible. I feel scammed that they tried to pass those pieces of boot leather off as filets. They were tough, gristly, and disgusting. One of the "filets" was especially bad, with a foul odor so bad that it was inedible. We couldn't finish any of our meals. There were also ANTS on 2 of our plates! One person in our party ordered the Hawaiian chicken. It was way over cooked and looked like it could have been microwaved out of the freezer. They served room temperature white wine with nothing to chill it with, but that was the least of our concerns. The only good thing about the restaurant was the waitress, Felicia, who was very attentive, friendly, and apologetic about our experience. She was great, but the restaurant only took 1 steak and a mushroom appetizer off of our over almost $400 bill. The reason I'm leaving a 1 star review is because they don't allow zero stars. You could not pay me to go back to this place.

This has been one of our favorite restaurants in Edisto Beach. However, today we were hugely disappointed. The crab stuffed mushroom appetizer was small and contained numerous bits of shell. My wife's fried seafood platter was extremely salty. I ordered the Filet w/ goat cheese. I've never had such a bad piece of meat. It was filled with fat and gristle which is unheard of in a filet. I sent it back. No one ever came out from the kitchen or management to talk to me about the situation. The waitress apologized and gave me the lame excuse that that's what they got from the store. Really? The only good thing about the dinner was the Meiomi Pinot Noir. We will not be returning ever again.

Interior decor was good. Exterior is rough. Server / service was good. Food was just barely ok. Previous experience there several years ago was great all around.....not so much from the food standpoint now. Disappointing.
The best restaurant in edisto without a doubt. Our sever Felicia, was the best one we have had the whole time we were down here. The food was AMAZING!!! If you want good food worth the money this is where to go. I’ve never tasted better grits and the flounder was mouth watering.

Our dinner last night was great & our server was too! We had the duck legs appetizer & the fried seafood platter for dinner. I would have given the restaurant 5 stars except the options for side dishes were pretty non existent. Dinners come with grits and the "vegetable of the day" which last night was cabbage seasoned with Curry (Yucky-Yuck) I like cabbage alright, but not seasoned with curry. It made it kind of a weird addition to fried seafood and grits... Would have liked to have had another option like green beans, asparagus, or just a vegetable medley. The rest of the meal was cooked perfectly and their key lime pie was the perfect ending!

Our waitress was great, the atmosphere was nice, we added blue cheese crumbles to our salad and it was great. Our appetizers were good, but the food was not the best. We had 11 people and 4 ordered cayenne honey drizzled flounder (over fried), grits(runny not very tasty), broccoli (no flavor except the cheese on it), Jasmin rice great, dessert great. 2 orrdered The shrimp & grits, ok, 2 ordered the firecracker flounder great, 2 ordered hamburger steak, ok

Let me start by saying, I have never been to this restaurant - but don't stop reading here.I made reservations for dinner with my family here and then read the google reviews. I cancelled my reservations due to the single fact that the owner of this establishment chose to respond in a harsh, snide manner to poor reviews that were honestly and thoughtfully written by their paying customers. Coming from a family that owned a business for over 40 years, I found this to be a huge turn off, and want to make it clear that the way they chose to publicly respond in these scenarios is what lost them our business.

Our family has visited Edisto for several summers but this is the first time we have ate at the Old Post Office. We started off with an appetizer of Duck Wings and a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. The wings tasted good until we discovered the inside of the wings were very cold and inedible. The bottle of wine was chill but was not placed in a wine bucket so it became room temp and not enjoyable. For our entrees we got the chicken pasta special and Carolina Ribeye. It was a lot of food for the price and tasted very good. The broccoli was especially delicious! Overall the meal was decent but not sure if we will be back.
