The Post

If you're looking for an affordable, but also high-quality brunch, you absolutely need to visit The Post in Wilmington! Every Saturday and Sunday they serve brunch all day from 11AM until 4 PM. I love this place so much for a couple of reasons. Most of the ingredients they use come from their very own onsite hydroponic garden or other local vendors. I'm also obsessed with their decor! It's very elegant, but also cozy plus they have blown up images of parts of Wilmington I grew up in and it really felt like a love letter to Wilmington. Some of my favorites were the Coup D'etat drink (I loved the frothiness of the egg white with the fresh rosemary sprig), the Whipped Ricotta Toast app, and the Eggs Benedict! The Brisket Burnt Ends were also another highlight and they specialize in barbecue so I had to get brisket on my breakfast sandwich as well! They also have a really good espresso martini the French toast was delicious! I love that everything came out so delicious and played it so beautifully, but the prices were still very affordable for us locals! They also have one dollar wings during the Eagles games this season!

A slightly upscale and unique spin on a smokehouse restaurant. Outdoor sidewalk and rear. Eggplant and other options for vegetarians. Average decor, but pleasant.

We went here for our anniversary dinner and the food and service were phenomenal. Hands down best shrimp & grits and collard greens I’ve ever had - I’d say it beats some of the best spots I’ve been to in the south! Our entrees were incredible and we genuinely had a fantastic time. Can’t wait to go back and try more on the menu.

Great food, friendly staff, cute place for brunch and perfect for a date night, for dinner. The location is also perfect, right next to other restaurants, stores, and shops. My husband and I tried the ricotta toast and smoked meatballs and they were excellent. Not too heavy. Recommended 10/10

The space is gorgeous, with no attention to detail spared. The menu is diverse without being overwhelming, and you can tell so much thought and planning went into selecting each item. The drinks were flavorful and wine list was great! Staff from hostess, Server, Bartender and even chefs were wonderful to engage with and truly felt happy to have you there. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back.

My boyfriend and I visited last night for dinner. I had the small plate of shrimp and grits which was absolutely delicious. My boyfriend had the chopped brisket panini which was dry, no flavor between 2 slices of bread. There should have been some sauce, juice or dip as it was completely lacking in taste and so dry. The sandwich was not what was described on the menu. Overall we would visit again and my boyfriend would order something different. Perhaps the person cooking forgot the rest of the ingredients that were listed on the menu for the panini.

We were driving from New York to Virginia and pulled over for lunch and stopped at The Post. Good service, good food at what like a good local restaurant.

I have visited The Post in Trolley Square on two separate occasions, hoping for an improved experience the second time. Unfortunately, the most recent visit confirmed that this establishment prioritizes ambiance over food quality and service standards. During a Saturday business lunch, I ordered an espresso martini, only to be told that the bar was out of Baileys — a basic ingredient. For a restaurant that markets itself as a polished, modern eatery, this was the first red flag. We began with the burnt ends appetizer, which was entirely unseasoned. My guest selected the brisket sandwich, which was equally lacking in flavor. I opted for the southern chicken sandwich, but upon arrival, it had an unpleasant odor. When I raised the issue, the server discreetly acknowledged that the chicken may have been spoiled. I replaced the entrée with a salad, which was passable at best, and left most of it untouched. While the interior is visually appealing and well-designed, the food is consistently underwhelming — and in this case, potentially unsafe. After giving this restaurant two chances, I cannot in good faith recommend it, nor do I plan to return.

Super excited for a new, more upscale concept in Trolley Square! We were able to book a last minute reservation at The Post for a Saturday night dinner and overall had an enjoyable dinner. The Post is essentially the upscale cousin of Locale BBQ Post and offers many BBQ inspired menu options, but I appreciated that they had dedicated equal care to their vegetarian and pescatarian options such that there is something delicious for all palates. The good: - The cocktails! We had a hard time deciding between the options, but wound up ordering the Chasing the Rabbit (whiskey, blackberry, iced tea) and the Strawberry Flower (gin, elderflower, strawberry) and enjoyed them both. - The smoked eggplant small plate --- easily the highlight of the meal for me with incredible flavors and good variety of texture in each bite! I absolutely need to order the smoked eggplant sandwich on my next visit. - Skillet Cornbread --- a little cake-like in flavor and consistency, but the apple butter and chili honey on top were perfection. The okay: - The brussels sprouts side was fine, but not overly exciting. - Hubs got the Smoked Lamb Gnocchi for his entree, which texturally was perfect, but felt like it was missing a little flavor/salt. - My seared salmon was cooked to perfection, though the accompanying endive was flavorless and didn't add much --- definitely could be served with better sides. - Our server herself was great, but it definitely seemed like she could use some help --- I think she may have been the only server in the restaurant and was kept quite busy. The not-so-good: - Our lemon mousse dessert wasn't set at all --- definitely more of a melted ice cream consistency, but our waitress kindly took it off of our check. The flavors were great, so on a better night, I'd get it again! Overall, we'd definitely go back --- even the just-okay options had delicious qualities, and I'm sure with time they'll really hit their stride.

Went to the Post on a Friday night with my fiancé and family. The restaurant itself was so cute! Love the Delaware/Trolley decor. Started off which drinks which were so good. Loved the NA options as well! We all shared a few apps - the onion dip, marinated olives, whipped ricotta toast, burnt ends, and lamb empanadas. All were really yummy. A little pricey but very worth it! Dinner was lamb gnocchi. It was a little too saucy for me but still a great entree. Our server Katie was so nice and very attentive. Can't wait to go back!

Service was very slow and had minimal check ins. Prime rib dip was good but the au jus was flavorless. Lamb sandwich looked amazing but had barely any meat. Mac and cheese was delicious but seriously overpriced for the portion size. Star of the show was the eggplant- delicious flavor profile. Cute decor but uncomfortable seating.

I don't eat out enough. So, I read a story about this place and I was curious. Smart move. Welcoming space, excellent service. And the food, top notch. Delicious cocktail (although the cutesy names are unnecessary), had smoked lamb empanadas as an appetizer. They were served in a generous pool of queso, no need to scrimp here. Smoked lamb gnocchi for the main. I rarely order gnocchi because many restaurants give you way too many. But the balance of this dish was perfect. I will return!

Everything is great Food Service Ambiance we will definitely be back. I highly recommend

Deliciously tender and well prepared meats, great service and drinks. Looking forward to coming back to explore the menu more. Don't miss out on the brisket burnt ends. We liked them so much we ordered another.

Slow service, very little meat on brisket sandwich, will not return . All I tasted was bread, very disappointing

I was there on a Friday night (we got a last min reservation for 4) and it was excellent! Small place but they make the most of it. The service was excellent and the food was phenomenal. Decor feels upscale and really nice but you can dress casually. We started with the beet small plate, Brussels and chili which were perfect. All for entrees were great too. We plan to go back next weekend!

Neighborhood gem. Beautiful decor, delicious food and drink and wonderful service. Highly recommend.

Cute & hip. Great food. Quietly attentive service. A pleasant surprise find. Highly recommended.

I have eaten at the Post three times in the last month. The food is original and delicious. There are so many tasty snacks and small plates to try that each time we have gotten too full to order entrees. I highly recommend the sour cream and smoked onion dip with potato gaufrettes, smoked eggplant, and brisket burnt ends. The servers have been very attentive and friendly. Will definitely be coming back and will hopefully make it to the entrees.
