Pressley Park Restaurant

i went here today for lunch with a friend. He bragging about how good the food was. Upon walking in I was not impressed. It definitely is a DIVE. I was hungry and was looking forward to a great lunch. I placed my order. When I was offered the free soup, I took the chicken with Rice soup. It was so salty that I could not even eat it. I ordered the hamburger steak with potatoes and gravy and fried squash. The hamburger steak was tough. The gravy on the hamburger steak was very salty. Even the mashed potatoes and gravy was super salty. The fried squash was ok. And I mean just ok, because they were saturated in grease. The wait staff leave a lot to be desired. It appears they do not want to be there. I would not recommend this place to anyone. The food was overpriced For what they serve you. Go somewhere else. I recommend Park Place Restaurant. It is 10 times better than Pressley Park Restaurant and more reasonably priced. HELP!!!

Just tried for the first time and they nailed it. Fish sandwich and fries were fantastic. I called ahead and picked up through the drive through. Great customer service and it was ready when I got there 5 minutes later! Perfect for a quick lunch. I’ll definitely go back again.

I wish i could give no stars this place does not kno how to follow an order all 3 times iv been there im done…

Very good selection.
Have never been let down by the food.
Diner Type selection from the northeast.

Just tried the place because I was close. Had one of the daily lunch specials. Chicken pot pie was decent. Fried okra was not that great. Mac and cheese treated like out of a box. Corn bread was ok. Cobbler was mediocre.
This place seems to be known for breakfast and sweet tea, neither of which I had.
It does have a charming little diner appeal but food not that great.

Great little breakfast dive. Quick, great service, good food — cooked to order.
Décor is a bit outdated — but that just adds to the ambience. Have been coming here occasionally for years — never been disappointed.
This is a landmark in the area– been around for many years. Not open in the evenings or on weekends.

Hello friends,
My sister and I used to meet some of her Police buddies here years ago very often for lunch.
A few weeks ago i over heard someone saying that they went here for breakfast. That sparked a notion for me to revisit.
I ordered eggs (with cheese), grits, ham and coffee. I HATE when ordering eggs w/​cheese and it comes out with that processed cheese that’s sold as singles. YUCK… Moreover, I don’t like it when it comes out just placed on top of the eggs. (What’s up with that? Why not scramble the cheese INTO the eggs). Everything was pretty good as far as taste.
Food + tax + tip. around 9 bucks

I’ve been here a number of times and I’ve gotten a stomach ache every time I have eaten here. Breakfast, lunch… even the salads seem like they come with a layer of grease. The only good thing about this place is that they have a drive-​thru.
Update — they do have yummy sweet tea, I gotta say

Coworkers said there’s a cheap place for lunch, home cooking, and free dessert. Sounded good, so here I went tagging along. It is in the middle of a business/​industrial park area. Signs advertising $ 2.99 breakfast & $ 4.99 lunch special… I figured how in the world I never heard of this place. It is a small free standing building, the inside looks just like any Greek-​owned diner. Sat down and I found most lunch specials are $ 7.25−7.95. They have special of the day which was $ 5.99 BBQ plate with fries and slaw. Or $ 4.99 fried catfish sandwich. All of the sudden it doesn’t look so bargain anymore.
I went with country fried steak ($ 7.95) that came with 2 sides. I just wasn’t feeling fried catfish or BBQ. I should have made myself feel like them however, because my dish was plain scary looking. I don’t think any real gravy can be that white and thick. It wasn’t even a hint of flavor besides an odd sourness to it. I wasn’t expecting alot, i even expected processed steak, but I am shivering just to think I actually ate that. I am impressed by my courage and strong stomach. The entire dish was just… bad, rice was barely warm. I didn’t want to make a big deal since I was with my coworkers and we needed to get back to work. My sides were a lot more natural looking, collard green and cabbage.
I did get the complimentary soup, potato soup which in comparison to my lunch entrée was a culinary masterpiece. My coworkers opted for the complimentary dessert which was peach cobbler. In my humble opinion fruit cocktail overed by 2 little pieces of arbitrary crusts isn’t peach cobbler. By the way, I tasted the BBQ plate, it was a lot more edible than my steak.
Oh, they have the best iced tea in town allegedly. And the old southern lady waitress was all «huney» and «sweetie» at us. If that makes a difference for you. I guess this place is better for breakfast, and FORGET ever ordering anything with gravy. You will thank me.

People in my office have been coming here for ever and I finally came with them. It was Chicken and Dumplings day. While the plate wasn’t esthetically pleasing it was delicious! The food is good, home cooking, southern food. The staff is friendly and extremely welcoming. I noticed that some of the wait staff took interest in their regulars lives, and I think that’s sweet. Overall a good experience.

I’ve been going to Pressley Park since forever and it’s always been a dependable «meat+three» place to go. Last week I was in the area and stopped in for lunch. I happened to be in a hamburger mode so I ordered the double cheeseburger. I will have to say that cheeseburger was one of the worst cheeseburgers I’ve had. Two pieces of identical slabs of hamburger that looked like they had just gone from the freezer to the bun, bypassing the flattop altogether. Cheese squares then flopped on and hardly melted. All on a sort of dry bun. It just wasn’t what I was expecting or what should have been served.
Yes, I’ll go back some day but will probably stick with the veggie plate.

The breakfast we get delivered & it’s the BOMB!!! I wasn’t as impressed with their lunch, but it was filling & they deliver which is fantastic!!! We order so much that they put in extras which I thought was really nice. The people are fantastic to work with. They go the extra mile! Thank you Lord for PPR!!! BTW the sausage & cheese omlet is even better than the one I make & love!!!

So I was starving one morning and forgot to make my breakfast for work and it just so happened some other co-​workers were ordering
I ordered the breakfast sandwich (eggs, bacon, cheese) and a side of hash browns.
Hahaha too funny… white bread was used… american cheese… classic southern I guess, but it wasn’t bad… it was just as it was… basic and served its point and inexpensive.
The hash browns were good, but if I order from them again, I’d ask if they could crisp them up a bit more.
All in all, it was just fine. It won’t be a staple, but a place to call on should I forget my breakfast once again.
Oh and they are plus as they deliver to our offices and are always quite busy.
Thanks for the breakfast filled me up and I didn’t even need my lunch.

Home cook food with love. Hard to spot if your not paying attention but its a pot of gold if you do. Trust me you will never be let down.

Very good old school country food. Prices are perfect and the staff is very friendly.

Pressley Park Restaurant: A Charlotte West-​side Institution, has perhaps the best Breakfast deals in the city. The food is much better than any chain could hope for, and the service is great, its like eating at your moms house.

3.75 breakfast special! The sweet tea is the bomb. Pretty waitresses? NO! Good eggs and bacon? YES!
