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 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

Hello, We're so sorry to hear about the miscommunication regarding your reservation. We pride ourselves on exceptional service and this is definitely not up to our standards. We would love to make it up to you and hope you might join us again!

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!

The menu change has a different flare, but is limited compared to what they use to offer. Not sure what the end goal is for them are you trying to be more up scale and not a sports bar any longer? There are not many options in Rancho San Diego and this place was a great sports bar.
Press Box Restaurant + BarGereageerd op 27 mei 2024
Thank you for your feedback. We will be reintroducing some of our old bar favorites back to the menu, along with expanding some of the items. We hope that you'll give us another chance!
