If you don't like this place, you are an un-American, commy red bast.... Great food, great drinks, great service

This place is a staple for downtown restaurant/bars in Dallas!! My favorite spot! I traveled to Dallas a few times a year before I moved here and if you're staying in a nearby Hilton, Weston, or other local hotel, this is definitely a place you need to go to. Good spot to get a good meal, friendly staff, 20 or so beers on tap, and AMI music jukebox for you. You'll see other business professionals working here and local regulars as well. GREAT spot for sports. ( Press box also has a HUGE projector for all your sports needs)...I came here all the time when I visited and it was the perfect blend of chill environment to get a drink but also was lively and the bar has character. Perfect launching spot to either go to bed after or go out to Deep Ellum or wherever the night takes you. When I moved here I met the bartenders and they've been nothing but solid folk to me. The staffing is steady so they work as a team and your drink and food orders always come on time. The food menu diverse, quality is solid, and my two favorite items are the pork chops and brisket tacos. Honestly, I haven't had anything I didn't like. One time my pork chop came out a little small and the bartender sent it back for a better chop- respect. The place is clean, following all the covid ish, and I have never had a bad experience here- ever. Outside dining is available (no heat lamps) but it's a great spot to chill if you have a pup or just want some fresh air. GREAT spot for people watching. All in all/ this is my favorite bar in Dallas! read more

Press Box Grill - James my favorite bartender! - Sports Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We ate here on a guys trip and loved it. The food was REALLY good, the service was even better, and the prices were really fair for a downtown establishment. The menu is quite extensive with something for most guests, including soups, salts, burgers and sandwiches. I highly recommend. read more

I ate here with my teammates for volleyball Nationals after we found that two other places had 1-1.5 hour waits. This place had no wait. Now I know why. When we got there the manager came by in a Texas Rangers jersey and a hat and said "How many?" We said 9 and he left and came back with 9 menus and rolls of silverware and plopped them down at the end of the table and left. Oh-kayyy, guess we're handing them out ourselves! Our server was nice and I'm pretty sure she was the only server in the place and she was hustling, it was packed. We had to wait quite a while for drink orders, but she got them eventually and they do have a good beer selection and lots of TV's so we watched the Cavs-Celtics game. We were starving so I made sure everyone closed their menus so she'd know we were ready because I could tell she was slammed. She took them and we waited a while for food too and when we got served two orders were wrong. She fixed them both quickly. The food was not great. I got the blackened salmon with charro beans and vegetable medley. My salmon portion was small, overcooked, and the spice was...off. The charro beans had carrots in them, which they shouldn't, and I don't like cooked carrots...but I wasn't sending anything back. Plus see above: starving. I ate'em. The veggie medley I liked, it hit the spot. One of my teammates' girlfriend had the blackened chicken and said it tasted like "chorizo" and said "how do you DO that?!" It was very thin and it was the same spice on my salmon. Not good. She had hatch chile mac'n'cheese with bacon...sounds great, right? It wasn't. The cheese tasted very processed and weird. Another buddy had the chicken fried steak which I am still kicking myself for not getting and he said it was pretty good. Another teammate had the loaded baked potato, which I finished for him, and it was good. Hard to mess up, but it can be done, and they didn't mess it up. I did get a $1 off coupon for my Yelp! checkin, our server had already taken my card and couldn't take it off after it had been run so she gave me $1, which was funny but I'll take it. The venue is cool and has a good layout for watching sports and a nice patio outside to watch downtown Dallas, and a good beer selection. The service was really slow and I saw another table get their menus and silverware dropped on them with a drive-by by the manager and raised their hands like "What the hell?" You can beat the wait at busier places, (you seat yourself), just be prepared to sit a while or bring a snack... read more

Came into Dallas to honor a friend who is retiring. Stopped in for a early late lunch. Sat myself at the bar. The bartender was busy however not very engaging with her customers. Food wise; had the Bell's Official Hazy IPA and the spicy chicken sandwich. I cant say the sandwich was anything to write home about. The Hazy IPa was refreshing w a good tropical taste. I would definitely have more....lol Asked the bartender for her recommendations for good burnt ends and beef ribs in the area. Again not very engaging...I'm busy. Oh well...I'll find a place before I leave. read more

I was here for a holiday party, so I didn't really have a meal, just some starters as snacks and beers. However, having said that, everything was excellent! The service was fantastic, especially since it was packed and we were a party of about 25. My server let me try several beers before I ordered and she was very knowledgeable about the many beers they have on tap. She was attentive and fast, no one was dry for very long! As far as food, I only had the queso dip and nachos, both were good and tasty- no complaints. And even with all the people in our party, she sorted out our checks correctly and quick- difficult especially with a packed house! I don't make it downtown that often, but I will definitely come back here! read more

Horrible rude service. Waitress slammed silverware down after I asked her not to call me "sweetie" and told me I could leave. Manager threatened to call the cops on me when I told him what happened and showed him how the waitress slammed the silverware down. Waitress lied and said I dropped an F bomb. Rude service, obviously not concerned with customer satisfaction. Blocked me from posting on their social media page too. Cowards. read more

After dropping a lot of Money on food at the state fair and still being hungry, we cut our losses and decided to head downtown for some grub and Press Box Grill is where we landed. Super friendly service from the bartender. Great Beer selection along with a loaded menu. Being that Mexican food is our fav, we were excited to see queso on the menu...and we will say...we have tried a ton of Queso and for a sports bar...this queso was darn good. Had a bit of heat to it...chips were crisp and fresh. Wife went with the Chicken Fried Steak, curly fries and a small bowl of Chili..Again...that Chili...man that was great!..Chicken fried steak was super tender and came with a ton of fries. Mine was the jalapeno marinated Pork chop, Mac-n-cheese and fries. Chop couldn't be anymore tender and the Mac was creamy goodness. The overall visit was great and I would recommend this place to anyone read more

In town on business and ordered delivery through Yelp, Love this option especially when the fee is lower than room service and no minimum. There was a delivery and service fee but combined it was still less than room service. I was in the mood for pastrami. Searching on Yelp for evening delivery I came across Press Box Grill. I ordered a Reuben Sandwich with fried pickle chips, A bit pricey for a sandwich but it was packed with pastrami. I didn't see an option/reminder to order mustard but it was tasty without it. The fried pickles came crisp and they were delicious. Probably why I didn't miss the mustard. Even better when I out a few in my sandwich. Almost every time I order delivery through Yelp they arrive about 15 minutes earlier than they state. That's a good thing for me! read more

Last week I was invited to try items from the Fall menu here. I truly enjoyed everything that we tried. I enjoyed the hospitality of the owner and the staff and I am eager to get back. I highly recommend that you check them out! I tried the following items: -Southwest Brisket Sandwich -BBQ chicken pizza -Spicy Chicken Sandwich -Brats & Pretzels I have to say every single dish was so freaking delicious but my favorite was the Brisket sandwich.. what can I say.. I'm a sucker for Brisket!!! read more

For 15 minutes I stood at the bar, 3 servers looked at me and did not knowledge me or offered if ai wanted a drink, nothing. All 3 looked at me and still nothing, I smiled and nothing not even a smile back. I was really looking forward in having a drink or two and enjoy MNF for a quarter or two. They were not extremely busy, not busy to not even smile and say I will be right with you or something. I had to ask for a pen and paper to write a not and left it at the bar. There went my evening. Will not have the eager to go there and enjoy a drink. Better your game Press Box, no bueno!! read more

The regular Chips & Queso was really good. It had a spicy kick to it from the jalapeños which was surprising, but really good. We tore the plate up. The pork chops were delicious, if I go back here I would order it again. The mashed potatoes tasted like box mashed potatoes tho unfortunately so I would substitute it for a different side. The service was nice. The workers were polite and helpful and checked on us often. Instead of 5 stars I give this place a 4/5 just because of the experience I had. Some people came into the restaurant who seemed to know the workers (I'm not sure if they were friends or off duty co-workers) they were very loud in their conversation. One of the ladies who came in and was socializing with the workers was distasteful and speaking very loud near our table. Obviously her behavior has nothing to do with the restaurant, but that atmosphere seemed normal to the workers there.. which threw me off. read more

Food here is very average. I've ordered a handful of things off the menu since my office was so close. Sandwiches, salads, etc. all not terrible, just okay. Service was average also. Decent beer selection. And had a few TVs with games. If you're a Dallas sports fan, (which I'm not) you usually get a good crowd of dudes cheering for the local team. I'll go back for the beer, and occasionally a cheap appetizer. read more

Ariel and Chris have made this couple 800 miles away from home feel welcome like no other! Food is good, drink specials are actually special, atmosphere is friendly, restaurant is clean. Games on everywhere and the vibes are pleasant in every way. Press Box Grill is a must visit downtown! PS-Ariel knows her stuff! Listen to her! She is so nice! And Chris is also personable and pleasant! Like I said before, 5 Star experience in the Lone Star State! read more

I'm not sure this is a typical American pub but it is for Dallas. We eat here a lot with the office because it is close to our building and they never disappoint. It looks like a good place to watch sports but it has been a great place to take a candidate we are interviewing or even a client for an informal lunch. My favorite is the salmon but the fish and chips are good as well as the burger. Several of my office mates get the grilled chicken sandwich. Definitely a good place to go if you're looking for a satisfying lunch, good service, or just to hang out and have a drink watching a game. read more

Food was ok but it took SO long. We sat outside and no one came so we ventured inside and waited 15 minutes before we just ordered takeout online. They were apologetic after finding out we ordered online, but it was not great. Food 5/10. Service 1/10. read more

Its just ok. The Bbq chicken pizza had too much Bbq sauce it overpowers the entire pizza making the crust soft, not crunchy and cant taste the chicken. The Lemon chicken pasta, cant taste the pepper. The lemon sauce wasnt mixed too well with the entree and I had to mix it myself which was on the bottom of the plate: The chicken and pasta tasted plain without the sauce. Onion Rings were great. Check in Yelp to save $2 off a $8+ purchase read more

This was a nice place to hang out. The atmosphere was fun and it seemed like they had a lot of regulars. Bartenders were very friendly. Food was good and hot, beer was nice and cold. I would recommend this place if you're looking for a fun place to hang out downtown. We had chips, queso, and salsa - delicious. My wife ordered the triple club sandwich which was also very good and pretty big. She substituted curly fries, bettered and crispy; also the largest portion of fries I have ever seen. I got the blackened chicken sandwich, flavor and seasoning was excellent, but the amount of chicken was disappointing. The breast was butterflied pretty thin (I'm sure to expedite the cooking time or help with food cost) so it threw off the meat to sandwich ratio. read more

We were visiting from out of town and chose the Press Box Grill so we could watch the Super Bowl. Service was very good. Food was good. Overall atmosphere was good. I had been concerned because as a Patriots fan, finding a non-hostile sports bar can sometimes be tough. But I'd messaged the bar in advance and was assured that they wouldn't allow for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Happy to say, there was no hostility at all. Overall a good experience. read more

Just moved downtown and got a chance to walk around today. Saw this place a few times coming home from work but today was the first chance I had to check it out. I loved the Seinfeld vibe from the outside. I really like the idea of having a "go to" place to eat and drink that is close by. I was a little awkward when I walked in but Ariel was absolutely amazing and greeted me with a smile and took time out of the rush to help me get comfortable. She did a great job explaining what to expect. Reviewed the menu. And even made some great recommendations that I took the opportunity to try. No booth for me today like Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer, but I will DEFINITELY return over and over as long as I live down here. Fantastic find. Super happy I walked in. Great job, Ariel. You guys have my business from now on! Regards, David read more

It was mid-day and after checking into the nearby Hampton Inn, I took a walk and started looking for a place for Lunch. The Press Box Grill looked like my kind of place and I wandered in past the separate bar area into the main dining area. The place was busy and the wait staff was working hard. Being waited on, the time back from the Kitchen, and settling up the bill all seemed to go smoothly. My Southwest Chicken Melt (with fries and lemonade) were all very good, albeit maybe too generous of portions. I'd stop here again if I were in town, and probably include a beer and watching a game. read more

So we've been meaning to voyage across the street from our apartment to press box for sometime now, and finally we made it. I regret not coming here sooner, we got service than I've had In most pricey restaurants in our travels Jake was a great host/ bartender and we'll be back again very soon. read more

Enjoyed our visit! Great salad, service was friendly and attentive! Tried a few new beers and found one I loved! Great hang out... would go back read more

Ariel ...Is the best bartender in the history of bartenders... She makes the best bloody Mary on the planet!

Decent place. We came here to have dinner and let a friend watch a Saints game on the huge TV. The service was above average. We ordered dinner and it came quickly and was tasty. The waitress was really nice and let me make my Philly cheese steak sandwich into a chicken sandwich. The place was a little loud but not bad since it was a weeknight. Our waitress was nice and split the checks. My friends were disappointed that they only saw the beer special at the end of the night and it was never mentioned by the waitress. It would have been a big savings. There is very little parking in this area, so good luck! read more

This place was great. The bartenders were friendly and attentive, and they had to deal with raucous Philadelphia Eagles fans, so kudos to them for keeping their composure. We got a few ice cold beers, some appetizers and food and it was all good at an inexpensive price The club sandwich was excellent and the loaded cheese fries were equally good. read more

I must be stupid because I ordered Chicken fried steak thinking it was fried chicken patty... I realized a couple bites in that it was not chicken, but steak! :( Apparently, everyone else knows this but me. Boohoo, people should just take out "chicken" from the name. Anyways, besides this, the food was mediocre...The steak was too chewy and bland for my taste. Did love the gravy though. The side of mashed potatoes was also very good and creamy, and made with red potatoes. read more

4 stars and not five becas I came last night and everything was on point especially the service & hospitality but didn't to much care for my food at lunch!

I ordered from here close to their closing time while I was on vacation. There were issues with the order and I voiced my issues and I was contacted by the restaurant to fix my problems. I appreciate this above and beyond approach and diligence in making sure I was satisfied. I placed a relatively large order and the quality of the food was great, just details were wrong. Due to me ordering late I couldn't speak to the restaurant to try and get them fixed that same night. But I'm home now and they still reached out and made everything right. Thank you very much. read more

We stopped in here for a beer while waiting to meet up with a friend at around 4:30pm on a Friday. It was pretty jammed packed with lots of people and was pretty noisy. But it's a sports bar, so that's to be expected. (but this is why I don't go to them). It took awhile to get waited on, but once she found us she was pleasant enough. The beer selection was respectable, but the food looked like basic overpriced bar items that most sports bars have - so we steered clear. Not sure I'd stop in again, unless it really was for just a beer. But if you're a sports fan, like bar food, beer and noise - go right on over! read more

We had a great experience again. This is the third time we've eaten at the Press Box. The place was quiet, which was quite a change. Usually it's very busy, I guess it's because it was late afternoon on a week night. We both had the chicken fried chicken. It was crispy and nicely done. My Stella (on tap) was delicious too. The service was superb. We went back after the concert for dessert. The cheesecake was awesome. read more

I've worked downtown for years and I've always loved Press Box Grill. My favorites are the turkey burger and the blackened chicken. I ordered a turkey burger for take out and brought it back to the office. I was disappointed to discover that it didn't have guacamole on it, as it did in the past. With the guac, I give this burger a 10 out of 10. Without the guac, I'd give it a 6. It wasn't bad, but definitely not something I would order again. Can we start a petition to bring the guac back? *UPDATE* Receiving a response back from Press Box so quickly reminded me of just how awesome they are, so I've added the additional stars. They didn't get rid of the guac, so no petition needed. It was just an error. Mistakes happen and it's how they are addressed that makes all the difference. read more
