Post & Beam

I really loved my experience at Post & Beam. It honestly was one of my favorite experiences since moving to LA. From the moment I arrived until the moment I left I truly enjoyed myself. The ambiance, the customer service, the delicious food and drinks, and the dope violinist was chef’s kiss. This was my first time dining at this restaurant and I came for brunch for my birthday and I truly had a wonderful time. It was a fun, cozy vibe. I met the owner and he was so fun and just a really nice guy and checked on me and my friend to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. I really felt like a queen. I loved our waitress! She was so nice and down to earth and had great recommendations. I was so excited about the food I forgot to take pics of it 😭. But just know my plate was clean and stomach was full! I will definitely be back! Don’t think about coming here just come! It’s amazing 😍

I visited Post & Beam during my trip to LA for brunch and my experience was great. Great, attentive staff and even better food and drinks. For food I tried the fried oysters, braised oxtail hash and a couple of sides including the pancakes. I don’t even eat pancakes but I would order those every time I went back. For drinks I tried the Hurricane and Foxy Brown. Everything was A1. Definitely the best food and drinks that I’ve had while in LA. Please do not hesitate to stop by.

A Culinary Gem Worth the Drive! I have had the pleasure of dining at Post and Beam on multiple occasions, and it was absolutely worth the drive! This restaurant is a hidden gem that exceeded my expectations in every way. This restaurant is pretty far for me, but it is worth the drive every time Here are The dishes I have enjoyed so far… Corn Bread with Whipped Honey Butter The meal kicked off with this delightful starter that set the tone for the entire experience. The cornbread was warm, moist, and paired perfectly with the light and airy whipped honey butter. A fantastic start to the meal! These vegan crab cakes were a revelation! The flavors were spot-on, and the texture was surprisingly similar to traditional crab cakes. A great option for both vegans and non-vegans alike. The shrimp & grits were a highlight of my meal. The shrimp were cooked to perfection, and the grits were creamy and well-seasoned, a delightful complement. A must-try for seafood lovers! The jerk catfish had just the right amount of spice and flavor. The dish showcased the chef's expertise in balancing bold and nuanced tastes. A unique and delicious choice. The short ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with savory goodness. The portion size was generous, and the accompanying sides elevated the dish to perfection. Mac N' Smoked Cheese, Herbed Breadcrumbs Even as a non-vegetarian, I thoroughly enjoyed this vegetarian dish. The mac n' cheese was creamy, and the herbed breadcrumbs added a delightful crunch. A great option for vegetarians and omnivores alike. The Brussels sprouts were divine. The maple balsamic glaze added a sweet and tangy note, and the butternut squash puree was a delicious accompaniment. A fantastic vegetarian and gluten-free option. The smoked potatoes were a delightful surprise. The white remoulade added a zesty kick, and the dish was a satisfying combination of smokiness and creaminess. Finally…my favorite Braised Oxtail Grilled Cheese: This dish was a symphony of flavors! The oxtail was perfectly braised, and the combination with the grilled cheese was a match made in heaven. A rich and satisfying indulgence. In addition to the outstanding food, the ambiance was warm, and the service was impeccable. The staff was knowledgeable and attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience. While the restaurant is a bit of a drive for me, I can confidently say that Post and Beam is a culinary destination worth the journey. I look forward to returning soon to explore more of their delectable offerings!

Supporting my black folks and there's always a little chaos. But the food was good and the service was great. Months later and I returned for brunch again and must say I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The pancake was delicious. I still love the vegan crab cakes. The bottomless mimosas were cool. Our waitess was Hadassah (hopefully spelled correctly) and she was fantastic! Very personable and she was on it with our bottles!! The one thing I would have to suggest is to not have the gardener cutting the trees in front of the restaurant while people are walking in and while people are eating outside. We had the loud noise and the smell of gas for most of our brunch which was the only downfall. But we will be back again!

The fish nuggets & cornbread were ok at best. There special in-house hot sauce was ok. They tell you to be careful because its really HOT 🔥 😏 but it's NOT. But still tasty. The hurricane drink 🍸 was also a warning ⚠️ 😳 that it was strong 💪 and I was very concerned because I'm a light weight. NOT strong at all but nice . The service and atmosphere was very nice. From the young lady who sat us down, the waitress, the cook behind the bar area to the managers ....all very above average service and greetings. Never had to look for someone to do refills or ask for something. Its the little things that bring people back. "I'll Be Back !"

I really like this place. The food was great. There was no long wait for seating. There was no long wait to receive our food once ordered. Mixed feelings about the bartender for a couple of reasons. He seem a little unprofessional with some ladies having brunch. He spoke as if they knew each other, but his tone was still inappropriate for the establishment. I ordered a Cosmopolitan... hated it! It taste watered down, and very sour (like a lemon 🍋). It's supposed to be tart not sour....👎🏽 The service could have been a little better, but I'm sure its because our server was slightly overwhelmed, the customers kept arriving around the same time and it got busy really fast. Non-the-less, I will definitely return for dinner. The menu looks wonderful 😋 Can't wait!

Heard lots of hype for post and beam lately so I decided to give it a try. Ordered the bloody Mary and oxtail hash for brunch and the experience could be better, but it's ok. Best part of the meal is the oxtail hash, although I was expecting the oxtail to be more tender and rich, what I got seems more like a leaner beef roast. Cut of the meat aside, the flavor was good, and I enjoyed the dish. Service and drinks can definitely be worked on. Service was friendly, but really slow, and it's obvious our waiter was kind of new. As for the drinks, the cocktail menu is limited, and only offer the usual Bellini, Mimosa, and bloody Mary.

I’m very happy to have tried this place for dinner, It was excellent. I had the jerk catfish as my main course and it was cooked perfectly. There is clearly a reason that this restaurant was a semi finalist for the 2022 James Beard award for outstanding restaurant. The staff were also wonderful and very friendly and enthusiastic to answer all of my questions. I will definitely be back.
