Belgian Fries
LeeLee S.

We've been to the one in Bayside a bunch of times but haven't been in years. We were in the area and saw there was one in Plainview and decided to give it a shot. The four stars is for the drinks. I could see the bartender from where I was sitting and she looked very confused making my lemon drop. Maybe she's training which is fine but I think with her confusion she forgot the vodka. I'm pretty sure I was just drinking simple syrup and lemon juice. I was going to say something but I didn't. The paninis were delicious. I had #38 and my brother had #18. They were both very tasty. We also got their delicious French fries and three dips, roasted garlic, chipotle and avocado crema. The avocado was ok. The cucumber salad is also very good. We noticed the lunch special after we ordered, $16 for half a panini and fries, I would have done that if I saw it before ordering. Two paninis, two cocktails and fries made for a very expensive lunch. I love a good panini so I will be back.

I love that one of my favorite bar/restaurants (Press 195 in RVC) is now closer to home! The owners John and John are both gems (as are all the staff - shoutout to Jess, Max, Sean, all the hostesses, waiters and bartenders) that make this new location feel like Cheers. Everyone knows your name, recalls your favorite dishes (mine is the buffalo chicken panini with fries and all the sauces), makes excellent recommendations, and provides an overall wonderful experience. Something new that I really got a kick out of is their event nights. I went to a paint and sip galentines, which was really cool and different! I hear they have bingo and live music that other patrons have enjoyed. I've been to many events at the RVC location, but I can easily see how the Plainview Press could be a prime spot for showers and parties. I look forward to going back, as are all my friends and family (who also have rave reviews - my mom, best friends, coworkers, dentist, friends of friends just to name a few).

#29 Grilled Steak and Chimichurri Sauce
Dionna A.

Came here for the first time while visiting Long Island & the service is GREAT. The beautiful woman serving us gave us a great rundown on what's good. Although service was A1, the sandwich is ok. 4/10. The bread is a bit dry, but the idea is there so I'm not knocking it. My mom got the chicken buffalo sandwich & the avocados weren't fresh. Great ambience, but okay sandwiches.

This review is based on take out. My husband and I wanted to try this restaurant for a while now since we moved to Plainview. I ordered the breaded eggplant sandwhich and he got the meat knish sandwhich. We both were very happy with our meals. The food was ready to pick up fairly quickly and they let us use a coupon for complimentary Belgian fries, which also were delicious. Seamless ordering, quick pick up. We are so excited to dine in soon and enjoy the restaurant.

#30: - Pastrami & Swiss but without the kraut, and swap the mustard for garlic mayo.
Barry H.

For years the Press 195 locations have been a favorite spot for me to treat myself. Well, two things going on tonight: First, I recently saw a tantalizing food network segment about good pastrami sandwiches. And second, I am starting a major diet tomorrow. So you know Press Plainview was a terrific choice. And oh, was it! I got me a number 30, pastrami and Swiss, without the sauerkraut, and swapped the brown mustard for some (sorry Jewish grandmas) garlic mayo. Let me tell you: having been away from this place for a while, I wasn't expecting the sensation of that first crunch. Possibly the best bite of a sandwich in memory. And everyone thereafter was equally good though not as deliciously shocking. They now offer a combo side of fries, which is nice, because the full order is way too much, and not the price. One person should pay for a side of fries. My server Eric was excellent. Personable and friendly, well attentive and quick . So it's bittersweet and I won't be back here for a couple of months minimum. But when I do, I'll be thinner and perhaps that crunch will once again give me a surprising welcome.

#38 Grilled Steak and Avocado
Ash M.

I was thoroughly impressed with Press 195. It is a huge improvement than the past restaurant that was there. I went on a Wednesday night and it was packed. We had Shabil as our server and he was incredible. He was personable, had great recommendations and was patient with my friend and I as we were contemplating what to get. We started with the knish and it was so good. It was definitely panini pressed and came with mustard and pickles. We ordered the Belgian fries for the table with the chipotle mayo, garlic mayo and the Carolina bbq. The Carolina bbq was not good but the solos were great. The fries were so so good, you'd be missing out if you didn't order them! I ordered the #38 which was a steak sandwich. It was absolutely devine. It was jam packed with flavor between the sauce, the caramelized onion, the avocado and the perfectly cooked steak- I had no complaints but used tons of napkins! My friend had the 31 with breaded chicken and loved it. Overall, Press 195 is great. The food, the service and the location! I hope you get Shabil as your server too!

##14 Grilled Vegetables
Yuna C.

I've visited the Queens location and could not stop thinking about Press 195 since then! I got the same sandwich - #14 with grilled zucchini and peppers with the standout ingredient being the black olive tapenade, yum! You also can't go wrong with the Belgian Fries - we got the Pineapple Sriracha, Garlic Mayo, and Roasted Pepper sauces.

##42 - Grilled Chicken, Goat cheese, & Tomato Olive Bruschetta
Meri L.

I've been wanting to come here since they opened. I was at the Rockville Center location a few years ago and was happy when I found they were coming to Plainview. While I don't live in Plainview anymore, I took the 30 minute drive to come here for lunch. I was alone, so I opted to sit at the bar. There wasn't any tap beers that I was interested in and I didn't want a cocktail, so water it was. Katie, the bartender was very friendly and attentive. I ordered #42. It had grilled chicken, goat cheese, baby spinach, tomato olive bruschetta and a delicious maple syrup pesto. It was so delicious!! All the flavors went together so well. I wish that maple syrup pesto was a dip on the side. I also got a side of fries with garlic Mayo which was also very good. I'd absolutely return...hopefully beers I like will be on tap next time.

Great food with prompt, friendly service. I love the menu option and draft beer selections. A lot to choose from. Service was blissful with helpful suggestions. Music is classic rock with three big screens playing sports at the bar. All in all a friendly atmosphere with a lot of tasty food and drinks to choose from. I recommend.

Press 195 in Plainview NY was the place that Extravagant Parties LI hosted their sip and paint event. ( see pix) Evenbrite sold tix on line via a QR. The activity was done in their back room. Some of the table setups were against the back area with no direct light above, making it hard to see the intricate tiny paint by numbers images. I did ask the hostess in front to turn up the lights above onto high. The waiters came around with menus that some people ordered from. The event included 1 free drink of choice and glasses and pitchers of water. The plastic cup was for water to rinse brushes from acrylic water based paints also included with various pictures , one each to paint. There were little bag's with stickpins and what looks to be a tiny soap pumpkin, raffle tickets for a few gifts were also included. Festive Fall decore we're on the tables. 2 hours later most if not all had the beginnings of painting pictures. Overall people cheated , painted and had a nice time out.

Press 195 does it again! I was able to score a spot at their soft opening and everything was amazing. Parking was so easy, the lot is huge and it's just blocks from the hospital and right across from the library. So easy to get to from the 135! The new decor inside is so beautiful! I loved all the blue accents. Plenty of bar seating, high top seating, booth and table seating available. They also have a party room in the back that holds about 45 people (I was told) and it has a beautiful vintage door as artwork and I was obsessed with it. They have a full bar and plenty of beer taps but I ordered the white sangria which never disappoints. Their fries are the same caliber of yummy and crunchy as the other locations and their pressed sandwiches also keep delivering. So happy Press 195 has a new home and I wish them continued success in this new location. Best of luck!

Clean and airy. I was seated right away with my party on a weekday. It is next to a Lidl and has a parking lot which is always a plus. Compared to its original location in Bayside, this is definitely a bigger space so it is more accommodating for bigger parties. Sandwiches were also okay. I ordered #38 grilled marinated sliced steak, avocado, sweet onion jam, fresh mozzarella and creamy roasted pepper dressing. It is not heavy and def has a nice crunch from the bread

When I came to press I thought the steak sandwich (believe it was a #38) was great, as well as other menu items.

Ask the Community - Press 195

Would this place have room for a big group during happy hour? Thinking 20 to 30 people. Is there a lot of room to hang out near the bar? Places to sit besides individual tables?

Yes definitely...There is a good amount of space in front and along side of the bar. They have great HHR specials. They also have communal tables and a bunch of brand new televisions. Definitely plan a Happy Hour at Press 195.
