    My family of 8 (three generations) had brunch while in town from Oregon. This was our favorite vacation meal by far! We have some really picky eaters, too. All of the kids and adults over-ate because it was so good. We did arrive a little early for our 10 am reservation and felt bad that we got there before they were technically open. Everyone was so kind to us and the manager and our waitress welcomed us in and sat us right away. Seriously - the hospitality was amazing. I definitely recommend dining here!

    The food was excellent. Prices were normal, reasonable. We had a reservation & it took a short time to sit down, I think because the hostess had to clean tables. I suspect lack of sufficient staff like most places these days. Our waitress was very good.

    Service was awful. Chicken was absolutely dry. Tried to waive down our server for 30 minutes.

    The food is always so good and I know the service will be as well. It’s a quirky, fun place that encourages conversation and just chilling.

    Our server was very slow and didn’t pay attention to the drink orders. He messed up the drinks three different times.This is the third time we have been at the Post and service was very very slow and it was not busy.

    We have eaten at several Post Chicken and Beer locations and always have great food and service. This was our first time at the Estes Park location. The service here was outstanding!! We had several different servers take care of us throughout our dinner (take our order, deliver food, deliver drinks) and the service was seamless. Everyone worked well together as a team to make sure we had what we needed and check in on us appropriately. We will be back the next time we are in Estes Park.

    Best chicken tenders EVER! All of our food was delicious but the chicken was amazing! Staff was super friendly to our chatty little guy. Establishment was clean and food was prepared quickly. Will definitely be back when in Estes park!

    They were out of three things we ordered. I know it’s a “mountain town” but they were basic, obvious items. The chicken was the only good thing. All the sides were meh…
