An East County neighborhood community gem for over 15 years, Press Box Restaurant & Bar offers a refreshing take on all-American classic cuisine. Featuring a wide selection of local beers on tap, original cocktails, and a whiskey lovers dream, Press Box's menu highlights creative bar staples like "Mediterranean Chicken Skewers" and "Beef Cheek Nachos," alongside more classic dishes like the "Ribeye with Seasonal Potatoes and Vegetables" and "Smash Burger Sliders."

Owned and operated by Executive Chef Joseph "Papa Joe" Salem, the same mastermind behind the restaurant "Sahara of the Middle East," Press Box incorporates a Mediterranean flare into both the menu and design. Items are sourced fresh on a daily basis, and chef's specials can be found as a constant addition. Opened daily for lunch, happy hour, dinner and weekend brunch, the restaurant also features a large selection of TVs to highlight the upcoming game of the season.

The food is the best part about this place, the service on the other hand was horrible. We ordered sliders and they brought out every single meal besides the sliders. Not a big deal, except when you ask politely they forgot something. 20 minutes later…still no sliders. Tried to say sorry it’s on the house, here’s a pazooki have a nice night. Talked to the manager and he even said it’s been an on going thing with ownership. Won’t be back again.

The new menu, which is a combination of the next-door Sahara restaurant, is a brilliant one. Not only can we get traditional Mediterranean food, but we also get regular press box offerings, which have consistently delicious features. The Fish and Chips was a hit; it had a crisp batter and was not greasy, which is sometimes hard to find. I enjoyed the chicken skewers, which were marinated just right with lots of chunks of white meat chicken nestled on a rice dish that included plump golden raisins. The cocktails, I enjoyed the lemondrop, were delicious, and our hostess/server, Fatima, was personable, professional, and efficient. The ONLY criticism is that we need to have more martini glasses. Both my Lemon Drops were served in a champagne glass.

We actually increased our group to 15. I worked with the manager Fatima to make that happen. She was so accommodating and friendly. Once we arrived, our server Christina and all of their support staff were amazing! They were attentive, fast and our good was delicious! Thank you Press Box team!

The prime rib was cooked to perfection and the loaded mashed potatoes were delicious! The French Dip sandwich was so loaded, had to get a box for all the leftovers!

The app allowed my to make a reservation 30 mins in advance when I showed up the restaurant didn’t even seem to know about my reservation and they were full by this time at first they basically told me there was nothing they could do maybe try the restaurant next-door which to me seemed ridiculous. If you allowed me to make a reservation how would you not be able to seat us so eventually we asked and they said they would be able to sit us in about 40 minutes, which would be atleast 30 minutes after our original reservation time so we just ended up taking our business somewhere else

The service was exceptional and the food was well prepared. It was pretty quiet which we appreciated as we are hard of hearing. We will return for another meal.

Tried their new menu and absolutely loved the lasagna! One of the best I’ve ever had; delicious! Hubby had the ribeye and it had great flavor, just a little tough. Overall great experience with friendly service.

Miss the old menu for sure. Steak was tasteless and no where near as good as before but cost $10 more. Way too much greasy butter on the plate, could hardly eat the vegetables floating in grease. Wine options by the glass totally boring. Miss the Spanish wines, its actually part of why we would dine at Press Box at least a couple times a month. Not sure we will be back which is sad because it was a favorite. On the plus side Fatima is wonderful and we were happy to ve greeted by a familiar face.

Thank you for your feedback--we're sorry to hear the steak was not to your liking. We're constantly working on our menu and will provide your input back to our kitchen staff. If there's a particular wine you're looking for, please let us know as we'd love to add some fan favorites back to our menu if we can. As for Fatima, she's a gem and we're so happy to hear that you love her!
