I had lunch at The Press recently with my elderly parents. The food and the service were amazing! We sat in the room with the bar, and Nicole was so amazing! Very attentive and helpful! My dad usually finds something to complain about anytime we go out to eat, but he thought Nicole was wonderful. The OG Chicken sandwich was delicious, also the waffle fries, the green chili potato soup, and the chili mac n cheese. Each plate was HUGE! Definitely go with a big appetite. read more

Super laid back vibe. I had the chicken fried ribeye with green beans and mashed potatoes. Loved it all! Great friendly service too! I was visiting OKC, but I'd be a regular if I lived here. read more

the whole place has such a chill, relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to unwind. The food here is pure comfort, especially that chicken-fried ribeye and the loaded tots, which were insanely flavorful and hit the spot after a long morning. The brunch dishes look amazing too. My only small complaint was that initial service was a bit sluggish when we first sat down, taking almost fifteen minutes just to get water and take our drink order, and my side of fries came out pretty limp and inconsistent compared to how crispy the tots were. Once the meal got moving though, the chill vibe and tasty food made it a really solid lunch overall. the standout comfort food and the super laid-back environment are the absolute best parts about this place. That chicken-fried ribeye is tender, perfectly seasoned, and total comfort on a plate, while the loaded tots are an incredible appetizer to share with the table. The overall space feels warm, casual, and unpretentious, making it a awesome spot to kick back with friends. read more

First time for me. It's a decent choice if you're in a hurry, has a cozy vibe, nothing forced about it, and even though it was pretty busy we got seated fast, which I wasn't expecting honestly. I got the Press Cobb salad but asked if they'd turn it into a wrap, and they didn't give me any trouble about it. Easier to eat when you're trying to talk and chew at the same time. The wrap was fresh, filling, decent mix of chicken, bacon, veggies, dressing not drowning in lettuce like some Cobb salads end up being. Waffle fries were crispy when they showed up but cooled off pretty quick once we got into conversation, so eat those first I guess. read more

This was a very cute place in a cute area. We received great service from here and I really enjoyed this place. It will be in my oklahoma rotation since this is my second home now. We ordered the mozzarella sticks as an appetizer. They were bigger than I was expecting. I actually really loved the coating. It wasnt thick and it was slightly crispy and just melted perfectly in your mouth with the cheese. I LOVED that it comes with ranch and marinara as dipping sauces. Most places just give marinara and I always want ranch. However, their marinara was so good I mixed it and the ranch and it was 10/10 with the mozzarella sticks. Seriously so good. I ordered the cajun catfish for my meal. It was real catfish which is a bonus and the cajun seasoning was delicious. It was served with cilantro rice and I thought that was different but it was executed perfectly. Topped with crawfish gravy too. The gravy was thick and had good flavor. I tore the whole meal up, lol. I can not wait to come back and try more items because I seen a few things on the menu I wanted to try. read more

Interesting building inside. Service was great. Food was good, not great - kale salad had a lot of kale, not enough of other stuff, the Southern salad I think was better, but the short rib in that, though tasty, was drier and tougher than I like. Wings were good but a little dry inside, not as good as Rivière Banh Mi's wings. read more

We ventured out today for lunch after being home bound due to a winter storm that rolled in last Friday. 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. read more

Such a treasure buried on a side street in the Plaza district. Delicious food, friendly and helpful staff await you behind the colorful teal door into this establishment. 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. read more

GET THE COBB SALAD The Cobb salad is literally so good I can eat it without dressing. They give you the right amount of avocado and chicken which is RARE. My only tweak is that there is ALOT of bacon, but most normal people don't have an issue with that! read more

Very imPRESSed!!!!! to say the least. This is like my backyard over here grew up as a kid right down the street and to see how things have changed and to watch this Plaza grow is really inspiring. Now onto the food I've eaten here several times, but this is by far the best thing that I've had the black and catfish was so good! Our awesome bartender gave me the great suggestion because you know I love Cajun food lol the service was really amazing!

We had dinner at The Press in Oklahoma City around 8:30 p.m. and found it to be a real gem. The restaurant was quiet and tastefully decorated, with a couple of TVs by the bar that weren't at all distracting. Our server, Taylor, was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations. On her suggestion, we both ordered the pot roast, and oh my goodness... it was incredible. Pure comfort food at its finest. We couldn't stop raving about it! Taylor also mentioned that their Cobb salad and quesadillas are phenomenal, and I have no doubt the rest of the menu has plenty of winners. She noted the place is often quite busy and lively earlier in the evening, which I was glad to hear because a spot this good deserves a long, successful run. Great service, wonderful atmosphere, and absolutely delicious food. The Press has my full endorsement. read more

This may be one of the best restaurants in town when accounting for multiple things like decent Southern options, flavor, consistency, price, and lastly, value (i.e., quality with respect to price). The Press Cobb may be one of the better salads (if not the best) in town. Filling, flavorful, and packed full of good ingredients; something to be especially appreciated in this shrinkflationary economy where every other restaurant bilks you by either cutting portions/ingredients while also simultaneously jacking prices up. Also, their fries are truly delightful. Honestly, I've never had a bad thing yet. Never change, the Press. My heart would probably break because you're like... one of three reliable (reliable in the sense that you can trust that you won't be disappointed) local restaurants at this point. read more

I love The Press but we went here for a group lunch and they were out of several things so I finally ordered the veggie burger and sweet potato tots. The tots are my favorite. The service was slow and our food was not hot or even warm. We also went for brunch last weekend and had the burrito(no tortilla) and tacos and it was not great. read more

The Press has a very young serving team so we give them grace. My table of 4 was sat about 10-15 minutes before a large sport group showed up, they were tended to first and with a bit more care. It took about 10 minutes to even get water on the table. Just some things to work on. As far as the food, the shrimp and grits was amazing, I added a piece of the super crispy catfish for some razzle dazzle. Star of the show! My friends enjoyed their catfish & grits & the hot honey chicken sandwich . The quesadilla was VERY oily. Glad I was able to give this place a try. Great for latge groups atleast! read more

Great food and the back patio was perfect for dining with 3 small children. They had gluten free bread, which was a bonus for our daughter.

The food was so fresh and so delicious! We went at lunch. The kids split a pancake plate. I had the Green Chili Soup and Cobb Salad combo and it was all very fresh. My husband had the Breakfast Hash that he enjoyed. Try the house tots appetizer (we got the chili and queso version) because it was amazing! Neat atmosphere and big portion sizes too. read more

This is only my second time ever eating at The Press, but it's beloved comfort food! It was years ago, but I distinctly remember enjoying the buffalo Mac and cheese. So it made an impact! We had 2 servers checking on us, so service was great. My colleague even got fresh chips to-go with her queso. It's located a little in a back alley, but has great indoor and outdoor seating. I was also excited to snag a parking spot right in front because parking in that area is pretty limited. My catfish was delicious. The cheddar grits were the best part! read more

1/2 price apps and the mozzarella sticks were the bomb! Server was unsure if burger could be made to order but after asking her to check, we learned it could be. (I'm a medium rare burger fan). New menus have sides printed in 5pt font, almost microscopic (seriously!!!!) and the fried catfish is offered yet was not printed on the new menus. Portions large and burger amazing; loved the honey mustard which seemed homemade too. Not a lot of parking and seemed weird the server didn't know if the meat could be made to order...but overall a good time and good eats! More overall organization and better understanding of menu will make this a perfect meal spot! read more

Back to back duds... what happened to this place??? A month or two ago we went and ordered the same thing we usually get. Half our order came out completely wrong. I asked how long approximately it'd be to bring the right meal. He took the plate and came out a minute later and told us it'd be about 15 mins. I told him never mind, we'd just take what we got and call it a day, no sense in wasting food. He hesitated and said the kitchen staff was actually already eating it themselves. Considering this was a minute or so after bringing it back, I have to wonder if they "messed up" or if they were just hungry. No comps or apologies btw. Today, we tried our luck again. We waited at the front counter for a while before being sat - not a good start. The hostess was wearing a baggy hoodie and jeans, never greeted us, and barely acknowledged us. Made me wonder if she even worked there. We counted and 14 minutes passed before a waitress came over and asked if we'd been helped yet. I told her no, but that we were ready to order. After ALL of the hassle, it turns out they were out of half the stuff we were wanting to order! At 130pm on a weekend! We just got up and left. What a giant waste of time. I do not understand how bad kitchen management had to be to run out of food and have no backup plans at lunch time. Couple this with the awful service and mistakes and you have a major problem brewing here. I don't know what's going on here but they better figure it out, it's now becoming a consistent issue. Check out some of the other recent reviews and you'll see the same issues we've had. This place is great when they have it together, but beware that they are struggling. read more

First of all, our server was terrific. She actually told me that - if I didn't like the sweet potato tots she recommended, she would bring me some regular tots on her! It wasn't relevant since the sweet potato tots are delicious. Second, the chicken fried steak was exactly the welcome my friend needed for his first visit to OKC. Awesome food. Great looking place! read more

It's August 31st 3:57pm. Sunday. Not very busy, I think we missed the brunch rush. We were oddly greeted and stared at by the 6-7 staff members at the counter. They maybe asked us 2-3 if we had been helped, so I'm not sure how communication/roles are here. We were seated and given waters. They asked if we wanted anything else to drink. Speed of service was good for the occasion. The restaurant is much larger on the inside that it looks on the outside. Lots of Edison bulbs hanging, mostly wood interior with brick walls. Very lodge like. The booths are nice and tall for privacy. My girlfriend ordered the shrimp and grits. She said they were an 8/10. She says they grits weren't too heavy, they were cheesy and creamy. The shrimp was well cooked with a good amount of blackened seasoning, and the gravy was light and flavorful. She got no bacon in the photo shown. I got the Buffalo Mac. The noodles were a really fun and tasty texture. The Buffalo sauce was pretty standard, but the chicken was the star. Crispy and juicy. I was worried it might've been pre-prepared fried chicken, but it's actually a whole piece of fried chicken cut up. The ranch on top was light but added a little more flavor. Medium level of cheesiness. I added some salt and pepper to heighten the flavor, as just the cheese sauce and noodles were a tiny bit bland. Overall, pretty good. Huge portion, we ate it all but I probably could've taken about half to-go. Would come back, some other menu items looked really good! read more

I'm giving two stars because our waiter was sweet. I came in yesterday with my spouse and we ordered chips and queso, put roast and the Cobb salad. to be honest, we asked for to go boxes immediately because we did not like the food. my pot roast was mostly fat and the queso was cold and honestly had hardly any flavor. I am a very picky eater and the press never disappoints me I'm not sure what was going on yesterday but the food just wasn't it. I spent 51 dollars and I probably took a total of 3 bites. read more

Visited the Press for a 7pm dinner on a Friday night and was very impressed overall. The restaurant featured indoor and outdoor seating and is more vast than it would appear. Upon entering we're promptly greeted and were able to make a same day reservation too although I'd recommend making one in advance. We tried the tots 2 ways which was good overall but we asked for the meat on the side as the whole party doesn't eat pork or beef and it wasn't presented that way. That was the only issue though. For dinner I ordered the Cajun catfish and substituted the grits for mac and cheese and it was by far one of my favorites dishes of all time. Everything was well seasoned and the fish and crawfish paired really well with the mac and cheese. I'd highly recommend them and would recommend going for happy hour. read more
