Post 1917 Steakhouse

Post 1917 Steakhouse is a Modern Steakhouse in Reading with $$$ pricing and a smart-casual dress code. It is best understood as a steakhouse choice rather than a low-cost casual stop, with a menu that includes crab cakes, foie gras grilled cheese, bone-in ribeye, chicken parmesan, lobster tacos.

The clearest reasons to consider it are direct: the restaurant is in Reading, the price point is $$$, and the cuisine is Modern Steakhouse.

A modern steakhouse with a confirmed wine accolade

Post 1917 Steakhouse has a confirmed Wine Spectator Award of Excellence (2026). That recognition is a useful signal for guests who value wine recognition with a steakhouse meal, though the safest expectation is still to choose the restaurant primarily for its Modern Steakhouse identity and $$$ positioning.

The dish list includes crab cakes, foie gras grilled cheese, bone-in ribeye, chicken parmesan, lobster tacos. That range gives first-time diners a practical way to think about the restaurant: there is a steakhouse anchor in the bone-in ribeye, but the menu is not limited to steak alone.

The dress code is smart casual, so the right expectation is put-together without assuming a formal dining format.
