    Not sweet potatoes but disgusting Carrots

    Just ordered 500 dollars of catering from Press195 Bayside over the weekend, The Sandwiches were very good, the wings were good, a tray of french fries were terrible $80 Dollars on unseasoned and soggy not crisy Fries,very disappointed, the chicken was great until I bit down and had a chunck of fat that ruined the whole thing and it did not just happen in one SOUVLAKI and it happened to a few guests, how does 25 SOUVLAKI not go with 16 people. I don't understand cut the piece of fat out of the chicken, what are you saving nothing besides pising off the customer. The Carrots sent for the wings . I cannot tell you how digusting old, dry green on some, crackling looking they were, very disappointed. how do you send this to a customer who just spent 500 dollars. the guy that put these in the order should be fired, absolutely terrible, overall the sandwiches were great the wings were great , the chicken I would not order, the fries will be going in the garbage today, nobody wants that leftover 7 out of 10 overall. the little things matter, Have a group chat with your employeess and don'tt let this happen.... it's an easy fix Change these things and rating would be better

    Veggie Knish
    Sam Y.

    Conveniently located on Bell Blvd. Parking can be difficult, but I have managed to find residential street parking nearby. They have a good amount of table (regular, high tops and outdoor) and bar seating. It does get tight if you're waiting on a table. Service is attentive and friendly. I've been a few times, and it's a pretty consistent spot. I always get their Belgian Fries. They're fried perfectly and hold that crisp well. I like to get an additional sauce (Wasabi Ranch is my favorite). I usually get a Knish. It sometimes doesn't hold its shape, because of how stuffed, but it's easy to fork and knife it. The fillings (such as Brisket, or Veggies) are flavorful and well cooked. I enjoy the pickles as well, which add a refreshing zing to the meal. Overall, a great spot to hit for some sandwiches, fries and drinks! It is a little pricey, but worth it for a night out.

    Press is always my go to when I don't know what I want to eat. My favorite sandwich is the smoking gun, steak, a yummy chipotle mayo, and goeey cheese. It's perfect in every way. Staff is always so kind and accommodating.

    Beer and a burger dinner
    Daniel M.

    Came in for a quick burger with fries and a beer. Burger was cooked well, would have liked it if it was med as requested. I guess waitress did not relayed my request to kitchen. $20 burger, $8 beer tax and tip and its $36 meal. Burger even overcooked was pretty tasty, fries were hot and crispy

    ##38 Grilled Marinated Sliced Steak
    Leslie S.

    My first and only experience at Press 195 was a to-go order. The menu has a lot of offer from sandwiches, salads, burgers, and fries. There are a ton of different sandwiches like turkey, chicken, steak, etc. I decided to try the #38 steak & avocado. The sandwich comes with grilled marinated sliced steak, avocado, sweet onion jam, fresh mozzarella, and creamy roasted pepper dressing served as a panini. The flavor of the sandwich was excellent. I loved that it was served warm and toasted. The sandwich was large enough that I was able to get 2 meals of out it. I would definitely come back here and would love to try eating their food at their restaurant.

    a burger and french fries

    Delicious sandwich shop in Bayside! We have been coming here for years and it has never disappointed us. I've tried several of their hot sandwiches and burgers and enjoyed them all. Can't decide on a favorite, depends on the mood. Can't go wrong with #38 with sliced steak with avocado and mozzarella. The service is great, the parking can be a bit tough during peak hours since it's located in the popular park of Bell Blvd, and price is a bit high.

    Came here for lunch Recently with my son while he was attending business in the area. We ordered these 2 Bomb Sandwiches. Absolutely Delicious. They have a way of toasting the bread like no other. Awesome.

    Steak Knish
    X P.

    First time here called for pickup for some steak Knish. Girl was nice when I went there and quick to get my food ready. Food tasted A+ amazing. There was enough meat for two people and it was under 20 bucks. Will definitely come back again for sure as long as prices don't get too high. Good experience.

    We saw many good reviews of this place so we decided to give it a try. It's a relatively small bar serving some pretty interesting sandwiches, burgers and bar food. When we got there they just opened. They asked if we wanted to sit at a tall table and we said sure. They had some interesting beer pulls decorating the shelves on the wall. They brought water over and asked if we wanted anything besides water. We were fine with just water. We needed a few more minutes because we couldn't decide what to have. I finally settled on the California Burnin Burger with Monterey Jack cheese, guacamole, salsa, and jalapeños. I asked for it without the bun, with bacon and a side salad instead of fries. My husband ordered the fried chicken sandwich and fries. My daughter had John's classic with the gravy on the side and fries. When the food showed up I didn't notice that my burger was missing bacon. It took a bit for me to get their attention but when I mentioned that I'm missing bacon they immediately rectified it. They brought out a plate of bacon (4 slices). I'm not sure if it's how many they usually give or if it's just an apology. Either way, bacon is always good. The burger was cooked medium like I asked. The melty cheese, guacamole, salsa, jalapeños, and bacon were a perfect balance of flavor, heat, and texture. My husband said his fried chicken and fries were good. My daughter liked her sandwich as well. With just a small snafu with the bacon it is a solid place.

    Sandwich and a knish
    Roger H.

    I've tried this place three times at the insistence of someone who assured me this was a solid place, well I guess the third time's the charm, after failing the first two times for a variety of reasons, ( first time was takeout, sandwiches steamed while in the wrapper and was soggy, second time fries were burnt.). Tried one of their steak sandwiches with smoked Gouda. The bread was nice and crunchy, while the steak was tender and tasty. A solid and really well done sandwich and one of the more unique options, as there aren't too many places that do something like a steak sandwich, come here if you want a solid grilled sandwich with nice toasty bread

    Brisket knish sandwich
    Louise F.

    I was excited to visit this restaurant when I read they had Knish sandwiches. Having some recent issues with my teeth so a panini or pressed sandwich was out of the question. I decided on brisket which was sandwiched in between a regular old fashion square potato knish then pressed. A small side of sliced pickles was served with the sandwich. While at first glance it looked small it was plenty filling. Just wish it had more flavor. The menu described the brisket as sweet slow braised brisket, smoked gouda, caramelized onion gravy. I have no idea where the onion gravy nor sweet flavor was because it was nonexistent. Smoked gouda has a strong flavor and none of that came through either. I added pickles but still not much flavor so added salt and ketchup. I usually put ketchup on a knish but didn't expect to have to do it with this sandwich. My friend ordered a pressed sandwich with fried eggplant, roasted peppers, Italian cold cuts. It was huge, the bread pressed well but again no flavor. She asked for some oil and vinegar to add flavor. It was served in the same plastic container as the pickles with no top. It was impossible to mix the oil and balsamic together so my friend asked for a spoon but was mostly unsuccessful in combining the two. The Belgian fries were tasty but the additional wasabi cream we ordered as a dipping sauce (extra $1) didn't add anything to the taste. We winded up using ketchup to dip them in. The menu indicates the fries are for 2 people at $8.95. This is accurate as the order is big enough to be shared. I might return when the weather is warmer to sit outside on their patio to try one of their salads or a different pressed sandwich then my bff ordered.

    Veggie sandwich

    We were staying in Queens for a week to cat sit, and saw that this was in the neighborhood. I had signed up for the Yelp Queens month of sandwiches event and saw this listed, so one day we headed out to get a takeout order. We found out that the prize was a free order of fries, but only dine in. We decided to come back the next day, when we read the fine print that it was only good on weekdays. By now we had noticed that the restaurant was VERY popular with locals, so we decided to eat there, fries or no fries. I am a big fan of menus that have something imaginative, and Press195 got an A+ in that one. I had a pastrami stuffed knish, and Donna had a grilled veggie sandwich that seems to be their specialty. The items were delicious and abundant, so we hardly needed those fries anyway. My son, who lives in Bayside, tells me that they swear by this place for delivery orders. One more item for the motto that Bell Blvd has the best restaurants and no parking.

    Food was amazing!!!!!
    Christina S.

    The food was amazing. I got the #45 which was grilled marinated steak, provolone, sautéd mushrooms & sweet peppers, fresh baby arugula, and pineapple & sweet sriracha pressed on ciabatta bread!! I would definitely come back here

    Ask the Community - Press 195 - Bayside

    Do you have indoor big screen tv for giant football viewing?

    Not giant, but there are TV's

    Do the sandwiches come with fries?

    No, that's a separate order.

    Is this a good place for a study group on a Saturday from 12 pm to 5pm?

    To study? Or eat? I would say it's a good place to go and eat, but not to study. It's a restaurant.

    Are the wings boneless?

    We serve classic bone in wings, however you may toss the chicken fingers in any of our wing sauces for a boneless chicken option!

    Are dogs allowed?

    I don't know, but I hope not (not because I am a dog hater!). The place is really cramped with a lot of finger foods. The poor doggie will not have adequate space on the floor to sit and relax while you dine either.

I'm not crazy about sweet potatoes and I didn't read the menu to see to get something else. Also, the Greek churro was so good with the feta whip. This is definitely a really cute place. Everyone who works there is so kind and polite. It is definitely worth a stop in for brunch.

    A classic staple that you've probably heard about but never actually got the chance to try it…read more Chicken Lovers is always busy. It's a place that you definitely need to plan ahead just to place an order. But if you have the time and patience to wait, go for it! We walked in around 1:20pm and were quoted an hour long wait. It actually took around an hour & a half to get the food. They don't always pick up the phone or allow online ordering, so if you're in the area, walking in is probably the best bet. The lunch specials are sooo worth it. We got one of each, 1/2 chicken + 1/4 ribs, sides: rice, cucumber salad, mac & cheese, and corn. The amount of food they give you is insane. How is that 1/4 of ribs?! Both the chicken and ribs were tender, juicy, and just fell apart. The green sauce of course is perfection. It's zesty, spicy, and herby- the perfect pairing to the savory meats. Plan ahead if you want to eat here!

    I've known about Chicken Lovers in Bayside for the longest time and have had it bookmarked forever,…read morebut I'm rarely in the area. Today I finally made the effort to go try it for myself. We ordered one whole chicken with three sides (rice, corn, and macaroni & cheese) and a half rack of ribs with broccoli and mashed potatoes. The total came out to $50.08, which I thought was pretty reasonable for the amount of food we got. Of course, I had to try everything immediately in the car because grilled food is always best fresh and hot. Overall, I thought both the chicken and ribs were good, but I actually preferred the ribs. They are definitely on the sweeter side, but incredibly soft, tender, and literally falling off the bone. The chicken was juicy, but I personally think both the chicken and ribs could have benefited from a bit more marinade or just a little more umami flavor. The standout for me was absolutely the green sauce. It honestly elevated the meal from an 8/10 to a 10/10. It's very cilantro-forward, which I personally loved, but if you're not a cilantro person, this sauce may not be for you. As for the sides, the steamed broccoli and corn were pretty standard. The rice had a stronger bay leaf flavor than I prefer. Surprisingly, the mashed potatoes were delicious and came with gravy, which was a nice bonus. I also enjoyed the macaroni and cheese, and highly recommend trying it with the green sauce because that combo was unexpectedly so good. Overall, I'd definitely come back again. It may not have been perfect, but the food was solid, portions were good, and that green sauce alone is worth the trip.

One set included the meatballs to start, followed by the chicken Parmesan and bomboloni for dessert. The other included a Caesar salad, tagliatelle Bolognese, and tiramisu. There was a bit of a longer-than-expected gap between the appetizer and the entrée, especially considering we were essentially the only table being served, as the other guests had already finished their meal.

The tiramisu was also quite good, but the real standout was the bomboloni.
