Press Café — Restaurant in Aledo

Horrible….. I went there Sunday morning around 8:30-9:00am. There was only around 6tables occupied but still took 5-10min to be seated despite there being 7-10 servers there. Most of them in the kitchen rolling silverware into napkins. Finley place my order for the turkey omelette (substituted turkey for bacon). It supposed to come with avocado and salsa (no toast, bread, or tortilla). The omelette came to my table it was un seasoned and tasted bland,NO avocado or salsa…. So I asked the server it took 5min. When I got it the SALSA was only a cherry tomato cut into fourths with salt and pepper?? I don’t know what that is buts it’s NOT salsa. I had brought in a large Orange Juice 34oz but still ordered a Dr Pepper. I was finished eating and got up to use the restroom and they thru my drink out!!! So I told the waitress she said she would get me one a new orange juice to go. So I waited already being there for 1hr and 15min after 10min with NO replacement orange juice and a bill for $26 just for an omelette and Dr Pepper. WOW !!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND….. poor service, bland un seasoned food, and a restaurant who doesn’t care about the customer….. Avoid at all cost unless you like paying $16 for avocado toast …… 👎👎👎...

Press café is our favorite place in Aledo, so we have been there a lot.

Now then, my wife is an excellent cook, so I can be pretty picky when I dine out. For example, she makes such great crab cakes that I knew of only one restaurant that made them as well. But thanks to Press, this morning I had crab cakes that are better than those - making them the best crab cakes I have had in my 60+ years of dining out.

Two aspects make them stand out: Good crab cakes balance between crab, spice, and binder. These cakes had the most crab I have ever seen, yet the cake stays intact until you put a fork to it, at which point it perfectly flakes. The crab itself was wonderful stand-alone quality: pure white, big chunks, no shreds, tender, and sweet. Amazing.

Those, combined with friendly service, nice clientele and atmosphere, well-made unique cocktails, continue to make Press Café in Aledo our...

My sisters and I would give 10 stars if we could. Lunch today at Press Cafe was so heartwarming and delicious! (Disclaimer: read till the end to hear the best part.) The food was delicious and nutritious (antibiotic and hormone free, chicken sandwich + tasty truffle fries - my oh my - on point).

The atmosphere was cozy, bright, and just right for a quality chat with good company. But the best part was the manager George and waitress Kaitlyn🎉.

They did not know, but we were on our way back home from a funeral. Our heavy hearts were uplifted through their genuine care and service. They went above and beyond a 5 star experience, and their kindness made our hearts smile. We were so blessed to meet them.

Like the legacy left behind by Andy, it is so important to “take care of each other” in the love of Christ and Press on.

We look forward to coming again to such a...
