Me N Ed's Restaurant Review: Press Box Sports Grill #2

 

There are three Press Box Sports Grills; one is Clovis and two are in Fresno.  We visited the Clovis location (#2) at 5:30 on a Saturday evening.  The location isn’t great, as it is located tucked away behind other buildings.  There was ample parking, though.  The parking lot was littered with empty beer cans; not a great start.  However, when we entered I immediately noticed how nice it looked.  It was spacious with a large bar top.  There were a lot of TVs with numerous sports games on.  We were greeted immediately and sat at a high top table.  I ordered a margarita.  Ed ordered a Lagunitas; no dice.  They didn’t have that.  He then ordered Sierra Nevada.  Strike two.  He settled for General Sherman.  He’s an IPA kinda guy.  Yuck!  Our server advised us the three most popular appetizers were the steak bites, the quesadilla, and the ahi poke nachos.  We decided on the steak bites.  They took a long time to arrive, which was odd because the restaurant was half-empty.  Ed really liked the steak bites.  I wasn't too wild about them.  The steak was tough, but the sauce was good.  The mushrooms were heavenly!  Next time I will order mushroom bites, lol.  We followed that up with pepperoni pizza.  Last time we were there, they were out of pizza.  Imagine that!  But they were redeemed this time.  We love Press Box pizza!  The bartender knew we wanted to watch the Warriors play, so he put the game on a tv where we could see it better, without us having to ask.  Nice!  My margarita was really good, but it was weak.  Weak sauce!  Ed visited the bathroom and he politely warned me against going in myself.  I heeded his advice.  Overall, not a bad experience.  We would return here.
