The Press pairs big portions with strong vegan choices

What public feedback says

The Press holds a 4.5 Google rating from more than 2,400 reviews, a strong level of approval for a moderately priced restaurant. Recent public comments supplied for this assessment consistently emphasize generous portions, appealing food and an easygoing setting. Several diners call the restaurant cute, while one describes it as resembling an old garage converted into a dining room. The bar also earns a favorable mention for its appearance.

The overall picture is of a casual Oklahoma City restaurant that works particularly well when the group wants hearty American food but needs more than a token vegan alternative. Diners report visiting for dinner, though The Press is also categorized as a breakfast restaurant. The reviews provided do not contain enough breakfast detail to recommend a specific morning order.

Food and portions

Chicken sandwiches are among the clearest recurring themes. Reviewers specifically mention KJ’s chicken sandwich and the OG Chicken Sandy, with favorable reactions to both. Another diner enjoyed the Dagwood, while Caesar fans have the option of a salad or wrap. The repeated references to large servings matter here: one customer called a chicken sandwich a big portion, and another suggested that dishes could be shared.

Vegan diners appear especially well served. The sample feedback praises both the quality and expanding variety of vegan choices. One detailed order included vegan nachos, a vegan fry bread taco and a vegan mixed berry crisp topped with vegan vanilla ice cream. That reviewer particularly liked how the nachos were layered without becoming soggy. These specific dishes appear in only one supplied review, but broader satisfaction with the vegan selection is repeated across multiple comments.

Food also receives praise for arriving promptly and tasting fresh, although that observation comes from an individual visit rather than a broad consensus. Drinks are described as refreshing in another review.

Service and atmosphere

Service feedback is mostly positive but not completely consistent. Two reviews enthusiastically credit individual servers and describe attentive or excellent experiences. One visitor also reports that food arrived in a timely fashion.

A less favorable account describes long gaps without check-ins or water refills, requiring the table to wave down its server and later seek help again to pay. That diner still liked the food and drinks, so the criticism is specific to attentiveness rather than the entire meal. Prospective visitors should expect a generally well-reviewed operation while recognizing that table follow-through can vary.

The converted-garage appearance, cute atmosphere and attractive bar give The Press more personality than a standard casual American restaurant. Nothing in the supplied feedback suggests that the setting is formal.

Editorial verdict

Based on its high-volume 4.5 rating and the review patterns provided, The Press is a reliable choice for hungry groups, chicken-sandwich fans and diners seeking substantial vegan food. Portion size is one of its strongest practical advantages, especially for anyone comfortable sharing. The main reservation is uneven service attentiveness in at least one otherwise positive visit. Food variety, vegan coverage and an inviting casual setting keep the overall recommendation strong.
