Food: 5/5 We had the #45 ($20.21 +$5.05 side fries) and #46 ($19.08 +$5.05 side fries). These were some of the best sandwiches in the area. They perfectly combine tender and flavorful meats with hot pressed bread. Service: 5/5 The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we walked in. They checked in at all the right times without being overbearing, kept drinks filled, and made sure everything came out smoothly. Ambiance: 5/5 Press 195 has a cozy, laid-back neighborhood vibe. The space feels warm and inviting, with exposed brick, wood accents, and a casual bar area that makes it feel like a local pub without feeling too loud. The atmosphere feels comfortable, like a go-to spot you can visit any night of the week. read more

Press 195 has 3 locations: Bayside, Rockville Centre, and Plainview. The Bayside location is always my go to location and it's been a few years since I've been back, but the food and service is still as great as I remember it to be. Parking can be found on Bell Blvd or on one of the side streets. I walked in on a Friday night about 6:45pm and my friend and I were seated right away by the kitchens window. Press 195's atmosphere is laid-back and friendly. Our waitress came and took our order without writing anything down. Everything came out correctly. I ordered the #26 - Turkey & Gouda that comes with turkey, Canadian bacon (I took out the Canadian bacon), smoked gouda, fresh tomato, and roasted garlic spread. My friend ordered the #29 - Steak & Chimichurri that comes with grilled marinated sliced steak, tomato, provolone, red onions (she took out the red onions), and homemade chimichurri sauce. We both added a side of Belgian fries for $5.05 each. The sandwiches were very tasty and a good portion. The ingredients were fresh. I really liked the side of cucumber salad as well. Press 195 is your go to place for handcrafted panini press sandwiches, crispy hand-cut belgian fries, and more! Though it was a Friday night, we weren't rushed out and it was getting busy. read more

Press 195 - Bayside - Turkey & Gouda handcrafted panini press sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Bayside, New York

Conveniently located on Bell Blvd. Parking can be difficult, but I have managed to find residential street parking nearby. They have a good amount of table (regular, high tops and outdoor) and bar seating. It does get tight if you're waiting on a table. Service is attentive and friendly. I've been a few times, and it's a pretty consistent spot. I always get their Belgian Fries. They're fried perfectly and hold that crisp well. I like to get an additional sauce (Wasabi Ranch is my favorite). I usually get a Knish. It sometimes doesn't hold its shape, because of how stuffed, but it's easy to fork and knife it. The fillings (such as Brisket, or Veggies) are flavorful and well cooked. I enjoy the pickles as well, which add a refreshing zing to the meal. Overall, a great spot to hit for some sandwiches, fries and drinks! It is a little pricey, but worth it for a night out. read more

Some of my good friends who used to live in the area had been raving about this spot for years, calling it a hidden gem. I finally had the chance to check it out with some of my boys, and let me tell you, they were not exaggerating. I was already counting the days until I could come back. Last Saturday, after my wife and the rest of our crew wrapped up the Diplo Run Club 5K in Flushing Meadow Park, we realized we were close by and knew exactly where we were heading next. This place might be small in size, but they deliver big in every way, from the warm friendly service to the phenomenal food and impressive beer selection. It is one of those spots where you instantly feel at home, and every plate that comes out of the kitchen smells like comfort and creativity combined. I went with the Brisket Knish: Momma Karp's shredded slow braised sweet brisket, smoked gouda, and caramelized onion gravy. Man o man, this kosher masterpiece was absolutely bangin. Every bite hit just right, rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. If you are anywhere near the area, do yourself a favor and make the trip. This spot is pure flavor packed happiness. read more

My first and only experience at Press 195 was a to-go order. The menu has a lot of offer from sandwiches, salads, burgers, and fries. There are a ton of different sandwiches like turkey, chicken, steak, etc. I decided to try the #38 steak & avocado. The sandwich comes with grilled marinated sliced steak, avocado, sweet onion jam, fresh mozzarella, and creamy roasted pepper dressing served as a panini. The flavor of the sandwich was excellent. I loved that it was served warm and toasted. The sandwich was large enough that I was able to get 2 meals of out it. I would definitely come back here and would love to try eating their food at their restaurant. read more

Delicious sandwich shop in Bayside! We have been coming here for years and it has never disappointed us. I've tried several of their hot sandwiches and burgers and enjoyed them all. Can't decide on a favorite, depends on the mood. Can't go wrong with #38 with sliced steak with avocado and mozzarella. The service is great, the parking can be a bit tough during peak hours since it's located in the popular park of Bell Blvd, and price is a bit high. read more

We saw many good reviews of this place so we decided to give it a try. It's a relatively small bar serving some pretty interesting sandwiches, burgers and bar food. When we got there they just opened. They asked if we wanted to sit at a tall table and we said sure. They had some interesting beer pulls decorating the shelves on the wall. They brought water over and asked if we wanted anything besides water. We were fine with just water. We needed a few more minutes because we couldn't decide what to have. I finally settled on the California Burnin Burger with Monterey Jack cheese, guacamole, salsa, and jalapeños. I asked for it without the bun, with bacon and a side salad instead of fries. My husband ordered the fried chicken sandwich and fries. My daughter had John's classic with the gravy on the side and fries. When the food showed up I didn't notice that my burger was missing bacon. It took a bit for me to get their attention but when I mentioned that I'm missing bacon they immediately rectified it. They brought out a plate of bacon (4 slices). I'm not sure if it's how many they usually give or if it's just an apology. Either way, bacon is always good. The burger was cooked medium like I asked. The melty cheese, guacamole, salsa, jalapeños, and bacon were a perfect balance of flavor, heat, and texture. My husband said his fried chicken and fries were good. My daughter liked her sandwich as well. With just a small snafu with the bacon it is a solid place. read more

I've tried this place three times at the insistence of someone who assured me this was a solid place, well I guess the third time's the charm, after failing the first two times for a variety of reasons, ( first time was takeout, sandwiches steamed while in the wrapper and was soggy, second time fries were burnt.). Tried one of their steak sandwiches with smoked Gouda. The bread was nice and crunchy, while the steak was tender and tasty. A solid and really well done sandwich and one of the more unique options, as there aren't too many places that do something like a steak sandwich, come here if you want a solid grilled sandwich with nice toasty bread read more

I was excited to visit this restaurant when I read they had Knish sandwiches. Having some recent issues with my teeth so a panini or pressed sandwich was out of the question. I decided on brisket which was sandwiched in between a regular old fashion square potato knish then pressed. A small side of sliced pickles was served with the sandwich. While at first glance it looked small it was plenty filling. Just wish it had more flavor. The menu described the brisket as sweet slow braised brisket, smoked gouda, caramelized onion gravy. I have no idea where the onion gravy nor sweet flavor was because it was nonexistent. Smoked gouda has a strong flavor and none of that came through either. I added pickles but still not much flavor so added salt and ketchup. I usually put ketchup on a knish but didn't expect to have to do it with this sandwich. My friend ordered a pressed sandwich with fried eggplant, roasted peppers, Italian cold cuts. It was huge, the bread pressed well but again no flavor. She asked for some oil and vinegar to add flavor. It was served in the same plastic container as the pickles with no top. It was impossible to mix the oil and balsamic together so my friend asked for a spoon but was mostly unsuccessful in combining the two. The Belgian fries were tasty but the additional wasabi cream we ordered as a dipping sauce (extra $1) didn't add anything to the taste. We winded up using ketchup to dip them in. The menu indicates the fries are for 2 people at $8.95. This is accurate as the order is big enough to be shared. I might return when the weather is warmer to sit outside on their patio to try one of their salads or a different pressed sandwich then my bff ordered. read more

We were staying in Queens for a week to cat sit, and saw that this was in the neighborhood. I had signed up for the Yelp Queens month of sandwiches event and saw this listed, so one day we headed out to get a takeout order. We found out that the prize was a free order of fries, but only dine in. We decided to come back the next day, when we read the fine print that it was only good on weekdays. By now we had noticed that the restaurant was VERY popular with locals, so we decided to eat there, fries or no fries. I am a big fan of menus that have something imaginative, and Press195 got an A+ in that one. I had a pastrami stuffed knish, and Donna had a grilled veggie sandwich that seems to be their specialty. The items were delicious and abundant, so we hardly needed those fries anyway. My son, who lives in Bayside, tells me that they swear by this place for delivery orders. One more item for the motto that Bell Blvd has the best restaurants and no parking. read more

I love this place for years and it was my first time dining here. I was waiting in the front for a while as the host was attending to people coming in after me, so that was interesting. The food itself was very good! I loved the beef panini (number 45 I believe), the meat wasn't as tough as I thought it would be. The Belgian fries were pretty fire and wish they came as a side for the panini. (But mind you the paninis are HUGE, I saved the other half to go). They have outside seating in the back so that was lovely. Definitely would love to come back, this is a staple on Bell Boulevard read more

This restaurant is one of my go to spots on Bell Blvd. it's a great spot for good sandwiches and amazing Belgian fries. I love the sauces for the fries and the extra cost is worth it! It can quite loud in here when there's a lot of people but is worth it for the food. Not the best spot if you're looking to have good conversations with friends but still a great hangout spot. Great food and great drinks. My favorite is any of their steak sandwiches. The steak is not dry and the pairing/combination is delicious. My personal favorite is #29. They have happy hour, mon-fri, 4-7pm. $6 draft beer and $10 for an order of wings. Worth checking out. read more

There are no other fries like this in Queens. They are legendary!!! I ordered takeout as I usually do and go the fries and buffalo chicken panini. The buffalo chicken panini was very yummy. The only thing that I would change is maybe pulse the celery instead of having long thin strips of it? It was hard to eat because of that but still very yummy. The buffalo sauce is awesome and so creamy. Fries might come a tad bit soggy when you order takeout which is normal but give it 1-2 minutes in the air fryer and they're as good as getting them inside the restaurant. So so so yum, can't express it enough. I also got the wasabi ranch. You need to get the wasabi ranch!!! A bit of the expensive side for a sandwich and fries but this lasted me through 2 meals so it's worth it to me for that reason. read more

Haven't been here in a few years now. Tasted just how I remembered it! We ordered the Belgian fries, 31, 32. There were a few other parties here at 1:30pm on a Wednesday. Not too many but some in the front area. We sat in the middle area so it was more quiet, although we were given the option to sit outside as well. The store is a bit cramped, the tables kinda close together and the aisle not the most spacious room. The food came quick - he asked if we wanted the fries first or with the food. We were starving so we said the fries first. Wasn't craving any of the sauces in particular so we just had ketchup. If you want additional sauces, there's a few to choose from (BBQ, chipotle mayo, pineapple sesame sriracha, ranch, etc) for an extra $1 each. The paninis came a little later, shortly after we finished the fries. Freshly made, baked, and tasted alright. If you want a quick lunch fix with paninis and fries, this place is ok. If you pay cash, you pay less (I think 3.95% less?) and the cost will be shown on the receipt - giving you the option to pay cash or card. read more

I came here with my cousin on a Sunday afternoon, and we were seated immediately. Service was great, and our waiter was friendly and attentive. I got the Grilled Marinated Sliced Steak ($15.50) which was served on handcrafted ciabatta bread. DELICIOUS!! The bread was so fresh and had a soft chewy interior and crispy exterior shell. It was pressed perfectly. The sandwich came with provolone, pan-fried sweet peppers & mushrooms, fresh baby arugula and pineapple sesame sriracha sauce. A very unique and flavorful combination. The steak was also cooked well. Pickled cucumbers were served on the side with every sandwich which was refreshing to balance out any heaviness. Overall, great sandwiches but a bit pricy.
