About Rick's Press Room Grill & Bar
Valenzuela, whose experience in the food business includes stints in New York, Paris and San Francisco, has done everything from dishwasher to owning a restaurant, including studying under Roger Verge (yes, that Roger Verge). However, when it comes to Valenzuela's skills in the kitchen, he strikes a modest tone and talks about the menu items he's most excited about. It's his wife and co-owner Julie who says that, thanks to her husband's formal training, he can cook a perfect hollandaise that won't break, as well as build a fantastic Philly sandwich. And the menu reflects skills on both fronts, combining kickers like a Vietnamese-inspired chili garlic dipping sauce for Rock shrimp with old favorites like meatloaf sandwiches. It's what Valenzuela says is "affordable contemporary American cuisine," which means that when the fridge is empty at dinner time, Rick's Press Room is the kind of place where you can show up for a simple meal that's a few shades more delicious than what you would have cooked: fettuccine alfredo, lemon and garlic chicken with mashed potatoes, or a fat burger with familiar fixin's like cheese, bacon, onions, fried egg and chili, or fancy fixin's like sun dried tomato pesto, roasted bell peppers, pepperoncinis and olives.Rachel Daigle, Boise Weekly

Diner reviews of Rick's Press Room Grill & Bar

This restaurant has some of the best food around. Unfortunately my networking group and I will no longer be patrons of this establishment after Rick, the owner, berated and humiliated one of our networking members right in front of the whole group over a complete misunderstanding, and without an apology. I network with around 10 other business owners on a weekly basis in the cigar shop next door, which, apparently, is part of Rick's restaurant. Needless to say, he left a bad taste in the mouths of some prominent businessmen who will never eat at his restaurant again.

Great food. I would definitely recommend the Korean tacos and fried green tomatoes for appetizers. Had the best gumbo ive ever tasted and stuffed peppers. I will definitely be back.

Good old family dining. Great breakfast at reasonable prices. Negative - toast is poor quality bread. Go for the biscuits instead.

I can't believe no one has reviewed this awesome restaurant. They give you peanuts to eat while you wait. If the wait is long, just put in your name, then go shop around at the Sportsman's Warehouse. Totally worth the wa
