fries - TO DIE FOR SAUCE! Garlic sauce is the best. This is always my go to place for paninis and fries in bayside. Cannot go wrong. Their service is great, sangria is excellent, cannot go wrong. I opted for #42- grilled chicken sandwich with goat cheese and pesto. Delicious. read more

Press 195 - Bayside - Chips and guac, avocado salad and fries - Sandwiches Near Me - Bayside, New York

This is a nice little spot in Queens. It's a small and quaint restaurant. There is indoor and outdoor seating. There is also an area that's in between in which we were able to sit at. The place is liked up with TVs to catch the game. The food is good. We had a guacamole chip and dip. They serve sandwiches. I had the chicken with avocado and there was a sauce. The only thing is the it was a little bland. They served a cucumber dip for the sandwich which gave it a little flavor. read more

The wings take more than 20 minutes to prepare and the waiter didn't inform us it would take this long. The garlic Parmesan wings are disappointing, no taste of garlic nor Parmesan. read more

Came here after a run. I was craving a burger. It was decent, but their paninis are really the best! The sweet potato fries compliments well with the hot sandwiches. My boyfriend ordered #45 and I actually ended up eating his because it tasted much more flavorful than my burger. The service here is always wonderful and the tables are clean. Press 195 is one of my favorite eatery spots on bell. read more

My friend and I have been planning on coming to Press 195 for weeks!! I hadn't been here in over 6-7 years so I was pretty excited to come back. We originally wanted to sit outside but the backyard was full, so we sat inside instead. (FYI, servers are no longer wearing masks anymore!) We decided to start off with the red and white sangria, both were okay. Fruity and not too strong. For our appetizer, of course, Belgian fries! We got three sauces- from my favorite to least- pineapple sesame sriracha, roasted garlic and chipotle Mayo. Sauces are $1 each or 3 for $2.50. The Belgian fries came out pretty quickly. I imagine most people get the fries when they come here, so they probably fire this constantly. They were busy so service was definitely on the slower side though. We had to ask the waitress to give us forks and plates. For our entree, we decided to share the #38. This came with marinated steak, avocado, mozzarella cheese and sweet onion jam. This was actually better than I remember! The bread was so crisp, but not too hard. Tons of steak (some of which was a little tough, but overall good), cheese was melty and the sweet onions added great flavor. The sandwich was so fresh and piping hot when we got it. They also separated the two halves onto our own plates since we were sharing. I really appreciated that! Will be back soon fo try their other sandwiches! read more

Had #45 subbed sauce with garlic mayo on the side. Loved the flavor of the sandwich and the toasted bread. Just don't know why the ordered fries came out a while after we got the sandwiches though... 4.5 rounded up to 5 read more

I've been coming here for years as well as their Rockville Centre location but I like this one better. I always get the brisket knish without gouda cheese and Belgian fries. The brisket is very flavorful & tender and the fries are addicting. They're my favorites from here! Their chicken fingers are good too. My husband really likes their fried shrimp po' boy sandwich but they no longer have it due to Covid. Service is usually quick and the staff are friendly. If you're in the Bayside area looking for a quick delicious lunch, look no further. Plenty of street meter parking, bakeries and bubble tea spots all around. read more

I ordered the #13. Which is a veggie panini sandwich. Not any sandwich, THE SANDWICH to get! If you like ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, fresh basil and you cannot forget the Press 195 worlds famous signature pure maple syrup basil pesto topping, then this is the one to get. It's really good!! I ordered ahead and it was ready when they said it would be. Great service! I definitely will be eating here again, you should too!! I heard the fries are really good as well. I'll be getting that next time. Good stuff! read more

Food is always good. We always get the Jack Special (BBQ Chicken sandwich) with the fries and pineapple siracha sauce. We always order the 3 sauces but I wish the containers were just a bit larger. read more

Great sandwiches and yummy fries with a variety of sauces! We usually get belgian fries with roasted garlic, pineapple sriracha and chipotle mayo. The menu can be a little overwhelming with all the sandwich options but the steak sandwich (#38) is my favorite. Made with sliced steak, avocado, onion jam, mozz and roasted pepper dressing. Husband likes the pulled pork knish. Will be back to try others! read more

I've frequented the Press 195 in Rockville Center and always order the Pastrami /Soup which I love. Today I tried the one on Bell Blvd and I had the delicious Avocado Salad with grilled chicken OMG !!! They have an open area in the back to sit outside and enjoy your meal. I'm bad with names but my waitress was attentive, great service. Their prices are reasonable $18 for my salad. read more

We got to the restaurant at the opening time, so there weren't too many people. We ordered a medium rare Smokers Delight ($19), which comes with Belgian fries, and a #42 with Belgian fries ($18.50). It was awesome that we had the choice to customize the rarity of our burger. The Smokers Delight was delicious due to its barbeque sauce and the medium rare patty was very juicy. The #42's grilled chicken was not dry, which is a great sign. On top of that, the #42's pesto sauce was amazing. #42 came in a ciabatta, which was pressed and made it really crunchy, however, the ciabatta was floury, making it slightly dry. Both orders of Belgian fries were crispy and not too potatoey. FYI, there is a discount for paying in cash. Overall, we would definitely go there again. read more

Nice place. Nice enough staff. Got the sandwich that had turkey and Brie. I think it was called something like, back by popular demand. I don't remember exactly but what I do remember is it had no flavor. Some bites had a strong brie flavor but most did not. Fries were great so that got them a star. Desserts are the reason I'm giving this place 3 stars. They had funnel cake fries that were amazing. And some chocolate cake thing that was great. So definitely recommend those. Other than that, unless my friends say let's go to this place, I probably won't be back. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place - food is really good when it wants to be - some days not good and service is just not there - I've shown up sometimes 45 minutes before their stated closing times and they tell me they closed early because business was slow - this has happened at least 6-10 times to me - getting tired of this and just won't go anymore read more

I'd rate Press 195 four and a half stars. We came here to catch a basketball game after having brunch nearby. They were very kind to change the channel and accommodate us even though we wanted to watch a low profile game. They've got a solid beer selection focused on local craft beers on draft. They also have the go to macros in bottles so all beer drinkers should find something they like. With our beers we had a couple appetizers. We shared their signature fries and a order of the fried mozzarella slices. The mozzarella slices should be one of their signature items too. They're so good. Gooey and crispy with a flavorful marinara sauce. Can't go wrong with them. The service was very friendly, attentive, and accommodating. Seemed like there were quite a few regulars. read more

Very good food nice clean friendly staff. Prices are good will go again busy street in bayside but it's good nice variety

One of my favorite places to come for a GOOD sandwich. I have been a fan of Press 195 for years. Most of my visits were to the RVC location, however I'd dined at the Bayside location a handful of times, too. I hadn't been back to either location in a year or two, but we decided to come here for lunch recently and everything was just as I remembered! They have a temporary/limited menu, but I was still able to get the classic #38 panini (steak, avocado, mozz, sweet onion jam, and creamy roasted pepper dressing) and a red sangria. Ingredients are always fresh and delicious. We've been getting both takeout and delivery now that it's cold and our sandwiches always hit the spot. They even do sangria/cocktails to go! If you're not a panini/sandwich person, they have other options like knishes, burgers, salads, soups, etc. I have never been obsessed with the fries, as others seem to rave about it, but the fries are indeed good and quite crispy. Regarding covid, they seem to be taking the necessary precautions. We had sat outside in front of the restaurant, but they also have a fair amount of indoor tables and an outdoor back patio. Definitely give Press 195 a try if you're in Bayside (or RVC)! read more

Press 195 - Bayside - #38 - Sandwiches Near Me - Bayside, New York

Delivery review: I would like to preface this review by saying I have been to the brick and mortar restaurant more times than I can count on my hands and toes, and I've always had a great meal. However, I decided to order some food because it was getting late and I didn't feel like Chinese, or schlepping my two year old out on a rainy winter night. We ordered a #38, which is a steak sandwich, a #3 roast pork sandwich, and a guacamole appetizer. My hubby enjoyed the steak sandwich, my pork sandwich left a lot to desire. There was one piece of thick chewy pork, some sort of mayo concoction on half the sandwich, two strings of onion, and no discernible cheese. I attached a picture, note the cilantro on the sandwich was added by me, from the cilantro that was loosely thrown on top of the tortilla chips (?) with the guacamole appetizer, since the sandwich had no taste. Ok I figured, I tried something new and didn't like it, never again, but what really did it for me was the guacamole. I was in the mood for guacamole and I figured why not. The guacamole tasted great, but what really got me, was the fact that a TINY ramekin sized portion was the appetizer for $11. See the attached picture. Press, you should be ashamed of yourself.... for $11 I could have gotten almost 3 sides of guacamole at chipotle, which would have each been double the size. I'm assuming this isn't the portion size you serve inside the restaurant, people would be up in arms. Instead, you know that the people who are receiving the delivery are at your mercy, and cheat them of their money. I am completely turned off by this establishment now. We didn't even receive the sides of pickles that ALWAYS comes with the sandwiches. So $52 later, I had a crappy sandwich and a spoonful of guacamole. Oh, and delivery was free, so that didn't pad the bill. My suggestion, visit in person, or risk being cheated of your hard earned money. read more

Hi Press 195!! The husband and I were running errands and stopped by for a quick lunch #nomnom BUT turned out to be one of the longest ones #facepalm Belgian fries - finger licking GOOD! We had to try the 3 specialty sauce for $2.50. Sweet onion ranch, chipotle mayo, and pineapple sesame sriracha sauce! Our fav is the sriracha! I got the lunch special - half Fried Shrimp Po' Boy sandwich - Panko breaded marinated shrimp, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and fresh made tangy remoulade - and fries! I wanted fries so I chose to cut my Po' Boy in half but next time I'm gonna get the whole Po' Boy and order the fries separately because the shrimp is sooooo crispy and GOOD! The husband got the California Burnin' burger - homemade guacamole, homemade salsa, Monterey Jack, and jalapeños - with fries! He thinks it's soso. Shhh I think he's addicted to Bare Burger that's why lol ***The ONLY and MAJOR problem with this place is their food takes a very long time to come out! Ugh, we were starved beyond starved waiting. Word of advice, figure out what you want to eat beforehand and order immediately the moment you sit down so at least you save some time. Sigh! Even the check took a long time to too.. why? It's a weekday and no even busy. #puzzled read more

My really, really good friend came all the way from Jersey just to try this spot out with me so we were popping 'em cherries today. We decided to sit by the bar since there were four emptied seats left. My friend and I started with Sangrias...hers was red and mine was white...so refreshingly yummy! Note: Happy Hour is from 12 pm to 7 pm #score man...$5 Sangrias $5 Drafts (ask your server which ones are part of the HH)! Food: Belgian Fries + Chipotle Mayo Sauce - mmmm yummy and crispy We asked Rosie which one was better Brisket or Steak Knish Corner but she recommended that both were popular. My friend ordered the Brisket and I ordered the Steak so we can each try out the two popular types of meat. Both were very yummy but I definitely will lean towards the Brisket because the flavor was just so good sandwiched between two potato knishes. Our server Rosie provided excellent service and engaging with her regular customers but still checking in with me and my friend. It took me a while but I finally crossed this off my bookmarks lol! Give them a try mmmm yummers! read more

Oh Yato found the place with the sandwiches! Oh Yato is incredibly pleased! I have a story to tell! So in comes Yato with family and friends, (I know, shocker, I have some folks who like to be with me.) and I was seated near the back, in front of the bathrooms. Not a problem. And out comes the food, also not bad but not too good. But hey, Yato isn't expecting 5 stars from a sandwich folks. And while the fried mozzarella wasn't any good either and the Quinoa wasn't flavorful either, it is what it is. Sandwich shop, you get what you pay for. But Yato receives the check, it's crazy. 4 people, $160. For 2 apps and 4 sandwiches, 4 lemonades. Did the sandwich cure my alignments? Sorry! Accidentally charged you for an extra meal, ah! No problem! $120! What?! Why? Oh, since you're paying with credit card, we charge an additional 8% fee and tip is automatic added for big parties! What?! I have 4 people?! Yato is outraged and surprised this shitty sandwich shop has the face to charge that price! There is a steakhouse across the street that would be cheaper at this point! So remember folks, please check your checks here if you want shitty sandwiches! Check for that credit card "fee" that tack on and all the extra fees they add on! I promise you, if you go here, you pay for a lot more then expected! Just got to Subway for your shitty sandwich experience! read more

When I think of Press 195, I immediately think of their Belgian fries with the delicious sauces. My bestie and I were craving those and also a good sandwich, so we stopped by for dinner on a Friday evening. The backyard area was full, so we sat inside. I could tell they were overwhelmingly busy as there were holes in service. I do see they are hiring servers so hopefully they can fix that soon. Both the red and white sangria were good with their own distinct taste. I'm glad we got one of each. The Belgian fries were amazing as expected. We added three special sauces - sriracha pineapple, roasted garlic, and chipotle mayo. The first two were the standouts to me, with the sriracha pineapple being the best with its sweet spiciness. We shared a #38 sandwich, which came with steak, avocado, mozz cheese, and sweet onion sauce? The steak was plentiful, the bread was crunchy, and the cheese was still stretchy. Sharing was definitely enough for us as one sandwich is huge! It also took a while to come out, so you know they making it fresh. Hopefully the dine-in experience will be better next time, or maybe I'll try takeout one day in hope that everything is still good by the time I get home. read more

Every time I try to order takeout here it's a fail, so I'm done with this place. Whatever hours you see on Yelp, Google, etc. are far off. 10 PM? Try 8PM. Oh but that actually means 7:45 which is what they told me when I called. What casual food joint closes at 7:45pm? The website is stupid too, it says "Bayside is open," doesn't list any hours on the page or on the menu pdf. Good grief. read more

I wasn't so hungry so I decided to get an appetizer, which was their honey BBQ bone in wings & of course their Belgian fries. It was so gooooood! The fries are good for two people in my opinion. Everyone was friendly inside & social distancing was enforced! Outdoor dining in the back isn't open yet, they said a few more weeks due to renovation. Can't wait to go back! read more

THIS RESTRAUNT SERVED ME FOOD I INFORMED THEM I WAS ALLERGIC TO. I ordered the Veggie wrap and ask for no olive spread because I'm allergic to olives. When they served me, I double checked with the server and she confirmed it was made as per my request, without olives. But I took 1 bite and knew there was olives. I asked my husband to try and he confirmed there was olives. I took apart my sandwich and scraped out the olive spread to prove the olive spread was in fact in my sandwich. I FORCED MYSELF TO VOMIT IN THEIR BATHROOM. This clearly ruined my entire afternoon and my plans tonight as now I have to stay home and monitor my health. Thank god, my allergy doesn't send me into anaphylaxis. While I was in the bathroom the gentleman behind the bar came around to apologize to my husband and to inform him they would comp my wrap. I was in their bathroom for almost 10 minutes. When I exited the bathroom, I was obviously crying, my face was flushed, eyes red and watery and not one staff member checked in with me to make sure I was OK. I was at our table for another 5 minutes shaking and crying and not one staff member seemed to care about my mental and physical health. Their restaurant is small and I was sitting in the table directly across from the bar. So their lack of concern was intentional. I understand mistakes happen but failure to comfort the customer in distress especially due to their negligence is such poor service. We immediately left so that I could continue vomitting at home to clear out my system. I work in hospitality and this is the most important rule of food service. My experience was completely unacceptable. My advice, avoid this place like the plague. A restaurant that doesn't take food allergies seriously probably won't handle food properly either. read more

I used to go here all the time before the pandemic and they usually satisfy my sandwich and fries cravings. Recently went back during the pandemic and they had their back outdoor seating area opened. Tables were not close together. All of the staff were wearing masks and applying social distancing rules. Food tastes the same and is still amazing. You must get the Belgium fries and add some sauces for an extra price because it's just that good. My favorites would have to be the garlic sauce and chipotle mayo. Never disappointed at Press! read more
