    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.

    Grilled Fish with veggies, coleslaw and corn fritters.

    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!

    We ventured out today for lunch after being home bound due to a winter storm that rolled in last…read moreFriday. We decided on The Press in the Plaza District. Good choice! 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.

I've been here twice and each time leaves me looking forward to my next visit. Adriana was our server last time and did an amazing job. Quick to keep our coffees topped off and full of information about the food items I was considering. I had the Big Boi Burrito, and it was very filling and yummy. 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.

It feels a little upscale but not in a way that makes you feel underdressed if you show up in jeans. The staff was super sweet, and our server made great recommendations. I ordered the chicken fried steak, and it was SO good. The portion was huge, and the gravy was chef's kiss. Also, can we talk about the bread for a second? Because I would genuinely go back just for that. I kept telling myself "one more piece" and then suddenly half the basket was gone. The only reason it's getting 4 stars instead of 5 is because the wait for our food felt a little longer than expected. Nothing crazy, but by the time it arrived, we were definitely checking the kitchen door every few minutes lol. Other than that, everything was great. The food was comforting, the atmosphere was nice, and it felt like one of those places that's perfect for catching up with friends or taking your parents when they're in town. Definitely adding this to my list of favorite OKC spots. Next mission: trying the brunch because everyone keeps talking about it.

Great food, great service, and absolutely worth the stop. A special shoutout to our server, Luz S., who was delightful and made the experience even better.

She finally refilled his tea, I didn't bother asking for the dressing because my chicken was gone by that point. The turnip greens were so bland I had to add salt, the macaroni and cheese was extremely bland, my husband's dumplings were beyond salty and the creamy sauce they should be in was so watered down it was ridiculous. The fried okra was barely warm and not crunchy at all. Seriously the worst food I've ever had a Cracker Barrel. My husband's tea sat empty again, so he had to steal my water again to be able to swallow. We will never return to this location. The restaurant as a whole just felt dirty. The menus were worn and tattered and sticky and the glass on the doors was covered in greasy finger prints at noon on a weekday so definitely lacking in the cleaning. The women's bathroom also smelled bad, almost like a mildew smell.
