    Catfish, shrimp, hush puppies, and red beans & rice.
    C Daniel C.

    I had been wanting to try this place since I saw its sign go up a month or two ago. I have to say I was thoroughly impressed and really enjoyed my dinner. The catfish had just the right amount of breading, way too many places have way too much and too little fish, and the fried shrimp was excellent, I also really enjoyed the side of red beans and rice that came with my meal.

    Wings and roll were definitely overcooked. I had the whole catfish last week and it was delicious. But, today I'm disappointed.

    Burnt. Very disappointed. The whole catfish last week was great. This is not. The order smelled like burnt oil.

    The catfish was tough I couldn't cut it with a metal fork. The service was fine the restaurant had only one other table very quiet and slow for a Saturday. My dinner didn't look like the nice stock photo, not even hush puppies, the salad doesn't look like the stock photo and the taste wasn't anything special for the $30 we paid for a hamburger and the fish dinner. Plus they charge extra to grill it?!

    Ticket

    Food was iffy. Very hot in resturant. What upset us is they change prices. When I confronted them, they stated they add taxes on amount. So 3 of us got an item at 16.95. Mine was 17.50 when others were 17.12 and 17.99. Added over dollar on husbands plate. I wondered why he took forever at register to get tickets. Seemed to be adding money on prices. If it's a price on menu and big board on wall then you charge that price. Tickets also have sales tax on them. Cheating on prices. Check tickets well.

    The kids meal was huge and all the other plates were definitely shareable. Take the whole family and enjoy!

    The food was fresh, hot and delicious! I've tried the fried fish, shrimp, oysters and crab cakes all excellent! The oysters and shrimp are huge by the way! The service was exceptional. They are always smiling and happy to see you. Wonderful ambiance with good vibes! I almost forgot but the kids meal is huge and all the other plates are definitely shareable and priced great.

    This is my second time visiting. Service was great again, Owner goes above and beyond and food is always good with reasonable prices for the amount of food. My nephew had a great birthday dinner.

    The food was AWESOME! my daughter got the burger and fries, and my son and I got the catfish and fries and red beans and rice. We also ordered appetizer that had fried pickles and hush puppies. They had house sauces for dipping. Flavors and textures were on point. Employees were friendly and helpful. It was a great experience.

    My burger had no flavor, it reminded me of a microwaveable cheeseburger you could get at the grocery store in the frozen section.

    I am still in disbelief that an order of hush puppies only consist of 3 small to medium sized hush puppies!

All secondary roads are still snow packed so at 11:30 there was only one other couple in the restrauant. The Press is in an old (1920's ?) repourposed building. The interior is comfortable, charming and a bit whimsical. We started with an order of cheese sticks. They were very good and large. I liked that the cheese sticks did not have Italian seasoning in the breading. Jan ordered the chicken fried ribeye with mashed potatoes, cream gravey and green beans. Jan loved it. I took a bite of the chicken fried steak and it was excellent. The green beans were very good. They were loaded with garlic, which I love, but if you're not a garlic fan, I would suggest another side. I ordered the grilled chicked sandwich with waffle fries. The sandwich was good and the waffle fries were excellent. The portions are large and the food quality excellent. The prices reasonable. The menu has variety. You can't go wrong by dining at The Press.

My friends chose the Press Cobb and Breakfast Bomb. They were both very pleased and stated there was many options on the menu they would be interested in trying.

The patio space in the front was very secluded and lush, we had it entirely to ourselves. Our waitress was absolutely amazing. They even brought out a water bowl with ice for our pups. We loved our drinks. My espresso martini was boozy and not too sweet with a love whipped topping on top. Her Road to Hana was very refreshing and the pineapple tajin garnish hit the spot. Quick shout out to the dinner rolls and butter. I was starving so this held me over while our shareables came out. The Spicy Caesar was nice, loved the hit of heat that came with it. The Chicken Pepperjack Strudel, a signature dish, was really really good. Just wish it was warmer in the center but yea definitely order this. Juan's queso is not a typical queso dish. First, it's real cheese and it comes with a black bean puree, salsa verde, and avocado thinly sliced on top. We loved it, especially my wife. If you're in search of a higher end dining experience in OKC, Cheever's is a must.

I came here with a large group of about 8 of us with a reservation made early on. We were seated in a nice, private room and had an overall very lovely experience! First of all, our server Trey was just spot on with all of his recommendations. He recommended the crab cakes, the halibut, and anything that came with the spicy shrimp risotto. Our table got crab cakes to start, and this was probably my favorite dish of the evening! The crab cake was large, fluffy, and full of lump crab topped with a spicy and delicious salsa verde and pico. For the entree I ordered the halibut which was cooked well, but the side of spicy shrimp risotto definitely stole the show (as Trey accurately predicted). Most of our party ordered this and everyone was pretty happy with it! For dessert, our table shared chocolate cake and the coconut creme pie. The chocolate cake was very rich and was probably one of the best chocolate cakes I've had, and I'm not a big chocolate cake person. I still definitely preferred the coconut creme pie, which I would order again next time! Our service was fantastic for the evening, and when Trey tells you to order something, trust him and do it!

In comparison to our previous Friday night experience where the food was fresh and delicious, last night's Monday evening dinner was stale and old. The pot roast was burned and obviously old, extremely salty, there was no gravy to speak of, and only two small carrots. The mashed potatoes were dry and looked reheated. The hash brown casserole was also stiff and not at all like it usually tastes. My husband ordered the chicken and it was dry and reheated. When the server finally came to check on us, I mentioned the pot roast was almost inedible and he offered to give me a different entree. He came back within 60 seconds with a piece of chicken I requested, but it was also dry. We were really disappointed overall, especially compared to our previous experience. For the first time ever, we left food on our plates and did not even take a to go box. We learned a lesson not to go on a day when the restaurant is not busy. Incidentally, the server removed the charge for my pot roast without even being asked, which I take as an admission that he realized it should not have been served. I appreciate the gesture, but my greater concern is that old food is going out to tables. Finally, biscuits were not brought until the entrées were delivered, which was a disappointment. I hope that they will take note of reviews and not serve old food. This was worse than a school cafeteria experience. Pictures are from our first review. I did not take pictures last night.
