What People Are Saying About Press Box Grill

In Short – Dark-wood paneling, red brick and dim lighting create an atmosphere akin to the neighborhood bar in the popular TV sitcom "Cheers." White-collar types from the nearby office towers zip in for a quick bite of lunch. Less-harried patrons warm the bar stools enjoying a cold pint. The burger melt, grilled meat and onions covered with melted cheese and served on marbled rye bread, is juicy and not too greasy. Soups and salads are also available.

Best Bar in Downtown

by Sunshine64 at Citysearch

Press box grill has a huge assortment of beers from around the world! The food went far beyond my expectations of pub food. Service was fast and friendly I went with the recomendation of my server and got the pork chops they were so good I wanted to lick my plate!! my friends all enjoyed the Buffalo burger and chicken fried steak. Everyone should try this place I know I'll be back!!!!

  • Pros: Service, quality food, lots of beer
  • Cons: parking

Great sports bar food and beer

by LSchlitt at Citysearch

While I'm not usually a huge fan of bar food, Press Box Grill has some really good grub. One of my faves is the blackened chicken salad and the slider app. If you're looking for a game day splurge or a hangover cure, the nachos are more than your average nachos they are AMAZING!! They have a huge selection of beer as well. It's a great place to grab a biteand watch the Gators or any other team/sport without the crappy food and overly crowded bar scene.

Great Food even better service

by SAMIAM16 at Citysearch

Pressbox has a huge selection of beer from around the world, a great happy hour. They have the best burgers and sandwiches in downtown. The ladies that serve at night are some of the best servers I have ever had, they are always happy, friendly, and willing to help. Not to mention there is not an ugly female on the staff. Other bars should take lessons from this place

  • Pros: Great food great service
  • Cons: Food takes awhile

Perfect neighborhood sports bar/restaurant! Stellar service!!

by paigehooha at Citysearch

From the fish sandwich to the chicken fried steak to the tuna melt - YUM! This is one downtown bar/restaurant where no one is putting on 'airs' - and they don't have to - what they offer speaks for itself! Real, genuine, friendly staff, amazing food (I mean everything on the menu is fantastic), great bar selection, super-clean and plasma screen TVs scattered throughout - it's all there. And the prices are way reasonable. I've been there during peak lunch rush times and on several occasions have watched the Mavs games there in the evenings - always entertaining. This is a perfect downtown location to meet before/after a game or concert - hang with friends - watch a game - without having to compromise food/service quality. I highly recommend. We even used the place for a private party/reception - all our guests (approx. 100?) were AMAZED. Press Box Grill - corner of Elm/Ervay.

  • Pros: Food, service, atmosphere, location!
  • Cons: Don't forget to pay your meter! Still cheaper than lot parking.
