Funnel cake fries with raspberry sauce drizzle
SaraJane D.

If a good sandwich is your craving, Press is the place to go! They make fantastic pressed sandwiches like panini's on steroids. The Belgian fries are also amazing with multiple dipping sauces to try as a side. Service was a little slow even though it wasn't busy on a Sunday for brunch time but staff were nice and attentive. The Plainview branch is smaller than others but great local spot if you're in the area. They also have cocktails if you're in the mood.

Belgian Fries

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.

#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.

Pastrami Knish sandwich, opted for no red pepper sauce and had mustard on the side. It was really good!

Interesting menu and decent choices. Courteous staff and good service. Good location and decent seating where you're not on top of each other. Food was delicious. Had pastrami sandwich and instead of bread, it was on a knish. Delicious. Have gotten chicken sandwiches in the past that were also very good.

The Southern Dunk
Christos A.

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 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!

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.

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.

I made a reservation for two on a Saturday night, and the restaurant was pretty busy, but they had our table ready even though we arrived 30 minutes early. Our server was Evelyn, and she was so sweet and she helped us when we were trying to decide between two desserts and three appetizers. We ordered: - Spring Salad (5/5) this tasted so good with the fresh mango, the snap peas, and the carrot ginger dressing. - Faroe Islands Salmon (5/5) I only tasted the rice, and not the salmon itself, but the rice was so good, and I just kept on stealing more from the plate. - Roasted-Half Chicken (4/5) This was my own entrée, and I loved how the chicken was crispy, and I also really liked the garlic mashed potatoes, but the only thing that I did not think worked well with the dish was the swiss chard. I think it would've tasted better with spinach. - Strawberry Cheesecake (4/5) this was surprisingly very light for a cheesecake, we ended up finishing all of it, and the whipped cream was really good. The strawberries were not my favorite, I kind of wish that they were just fresh slices of strawberries, but to each their own. All in all, this was a super solid meal, there's plenty of parking, and the restaurant is quite spacious, and the single bathrooms are also pretty large.

I really enjoyed the look and vibe of the restaurant. And the food was good as expected. We shared the Crispy Artichokes, which I thought was excellent. The chili aioli sauce combined with the artichokes perfectly. For my entree, I had the Scallops. The presentation was good, but I felt like the dish lacked a little bit of flavor. It was a little on the bland side. We also had a couple of cocktails that I thought were really good - the Lavender Haze and the Turn the Beat Around. I recommend both. We ended the night with the Apple Crips dessert, which we both enjoyed.

As I've been exploring breweries around Long Island, Barnshed has been on my list for a while…read morethanks especially to fellow Yelper Josh G. and others whose reviews I trust wholeheartedly. Without a doubt, I was very happy I made the decision to visit this brewery with some fellow amigos, two of whom are new to the brewery world. Although we nearly missed the turn off route 107 (it's not the easiest place to find), it was well worth the effort to visit this small yet spirited brewery. Seeing the option for a flight of 4 for $9, the four of us each decided on this option (or else, why pay a visit here at all?). I opted for the Die Schuene Hefe (6.4% ABV), State 11 IPA (6.9% ABV), Propaganda Porter (6.4% ABV), and Chocolate Oatmeal Stout (6.7% ABV). My beer preferences generally lean toward the stouts, brown ales and low-IBU IPAs (have not yet acquired that palette for the super bitter). With that kind of palette, it should come as no surprise that I loved the Propaganda Porter and Chocolate Oats Stout, both of which offered a sweet, rich flavor, with Propaganda leaning more towards a vanilla flavor and Chocolate leaning towards a (wait for it) chocolate/coffee taste. Die Schuene Hefe was my next favorite in line, offering a very pleasant body of flavor, and State 11 IPA was still very enjoyable (though on the more bitter end for me). My friends sampled a variety of other beers, and altogether we hit every beer on the menu (sans Pineapple Express, which I'd love to try next time). My one friend who enjoys IPAs really loved the Mental Toughness and also enjoyed the Barn Double IPA (though admitted it was on the bitter end for those like myself who do not venture that far on the bitter scale). My other friend with a similar palette to mine really loved the 135 Pale Ale (he went "wow!" from the first sip), and our last comrade most enjoyed the Barnshed Cider (he does enjoy those ciders). Aside from the beer itself, what I really enjoyed about this place was the spirit and heart of it. It's small and scrappy but the owners definitely put a lot into it (it's easy to tell). The beer tasted incredibly fresh and was served with complimentary Utz's pretzels and even some mints before hitting the road. In pondering this brewery, I was on the fence between 4 and 5 stars. In the end, I opted for 5 stars because of my friends. The two newbies fell in love with breweries thanks to this place and are now wanting to explore even more breweries on Long Island (I'm sure I'll be getting texts every weekend now). One friend called it "the freshest beer I've ever tasted". Thanks to the owners for putting so much heart into this place. I cannot wait to return!

Arriving, the space is bright and airy. At the table there was a lovely potted plant with our reservation name which we were able to take home with us. Such a nice touch. The trivia was really fun and something different to do. We started off with the maple bacon donut holes for the table. They came out piping hot and had the perfect donut texture. They were so good. They have a lot of cocktails and cocktails to choose from. I opted for the Spritz which was a light Aperol Spritz and it was perfect for brunch. The Paloma was also quite good. I had the Tap Stack which was pancakes layered with bacon and topped with a corn flake crusted chicken cutlet. The portion was large and hearty. The chicken was so crunchy and yummy. The bacon was perfectly cooked. The pancakes were a bit on the tough and dry side. The breakfast burrito, BEC and brunch burger were all good and everyone enjoyed their meals.
