    This is the type of place where if you were alone you would lick your plate clean, every crumb is packed with flavor. Their menu is a stunning mix of high end flavor and familiar comfort foods. I wish we could have tried every item, I can’t imagine going wrong with anything on it. As outstanding as the food is, the staff is even better. I have never seen a group of people work together so well to create such an inviting experience. They were prompt, knowledgeable about the menu, and everyone that we interacted with had a bright and friendly personality. Whoever is in charge should be patting themselves on the back for a restaurant that is so perfectly ran on every single level.

    Had a lovely dinner for Valentine’s Day with a couple of friends. This place is absolutely gorgeous with culinary enhanced pub food, not over the top and definitely more on the unique side. Open kitchen is awesome and you have see how much work is going into these incredible dishes. Very professional staff who are attentive. The fish and chips were very tasty with good portions for everything. We were traveling from out of town… wish we had something like this place in the town I live in!!

    Everything was amazing. Me and my mom both loved it here. Server was an absolute sweetheart (Anastasia) and has an overall very fun personality. Food was fresh and delicious. Their signature fries were incredible and my burger was amazing from start to finish. The desert was absolutely delicious and just the right thing after a nice meal. I’m visiting for a basketball tournament and this place was definitely a good place to have an after game lunch/dinner. We are definitely coming back during the trip and we highly recommend to anyone wanting a good time.

    Sofie was our server. She was great! Answered all our questions. The beef rib tots and the mussels were great starters. My wife enjoyed the steak frite and I had the yarisoba with shrimp. The En Fuego and the Bourbon Milk Punch were 🤤 Our 10 year old enjoyed the kid burger and kid brownie. My wife added the campfire brownie w/a scoop of ice cream! I CANNOT BREATHE, I'M SO FULL! 🤣 We'll definitely be back!

    Wonderful service and food! The pimento cheese was amazing! My mom had the frittata with the fingerling potatoes! Amazing! Only open certain dates and times for breakfast. It's on our list for a revisit to ear at dinnertime!

    We attend networking meetings at The Exchange quite a bit and they have two main areas that are dedicated for private events. Shawn, their waitress is not only super sweet, but is always on top of anything you may need! Their food is pretty good with quite a few options.

    Service is amazing! My server was bubbly, interested in making my experience better and genuinely happy! I had the shrimp and grits (very good!) And the creme brulee (creamy!). The place was packed inside and no one was on the outdoor patio. I chose the latter and had a phenomenal quiet dinner! Place is classy inside with leather couches and great decor! Open late too! Recommend!

    Every single thing we had was amazing! We had absolutely no complaints at all on anything. The service was amazing, the food, the atmosphere, everything. We highly recommend the Salt of the Earth cocktail. We had a few! Delicious!! It did cost a lot, but we had 3 appetizers, 3 cocktails, 2 flights of beer, and then 2 tall beers, plus we loved the food so much we ordered 2 burgers to go, to eat for lunch the next day!!

    My husband and I had a great night out. Our waitress (Kci) was fantastic. She was fun and quirky and gave us great recommendations - don't sleep on the short rib tots! Our drinks, apps and entrees were all delicious. We both were more than pleased! We always recommend the Exchange to friends and family but tonight it exceeded our normal dinning experience!

    We had a great meal. The Korean wings are delicious and the pork chops are very tasty. Fish and chips are also very good. Service was great.

  • 5/5 Chet A. 8 months ago on Google
    Such a cool spot! I recommend eating in the quasi-indoor/outdoor bar section on a nice sunny afternoon. Add some blackened chicken to your grilled cheese for a very satisfying sandwich. I don't recommend the broccoli. It's supposed to be toasted, but just tastes burnt. The fries are pretty decent, although you could probably do with out the Parmesan and oil (which is an option). It's a little pricey, but the food is good and the atmosphere is hard to beat.

    Make a reservation! The food is incredible. The service is fast and friendly. They stay busy, and for a good reason. We really enjoyed the fish and chips and the goat cheese balls. They rotate their menu for seasonal options and I really enjoy the switch up. Great date night spot. Dim lit with live music on the weekends, usually an acoustic guitar and some soft singing. Great drinks. Would highly recommend.

    Super nice service and great tasting food. First time there and our server Kayla went out of her way to give us a rundown of the menu. Had the Korean Wings and Nashville Hot Chicken Tacos. So good. Will be making a return trip very soon

    Great experience. The waiter was very nice and able to accommodate as me being solo dining. I was doing the Apron Inc Dine Around Dine In event. I had soup, potato and Leek. It was so delicious and perfect for cold day. I ordered old fashioned. It is tasty. For entree, I decided to try Shrimp and Grits. It was so delicious and one of my favorite. Then for dessert, I had key lime Panna Cotta. It was just so light and tasty too. I will want to come back to try few more and check out more vibe in the restaurant.

    Wow! What a gem of a restaurant! I wasn’t terribly hungry when I got there but I wished I could have eaten everything on the menu! I ate the pretzel and beer cheese before I took a picture of it … one of the best smoked flavors in cheese I’ve ever tasted. The patio was a place to take advantage of the gorgeous weather. Waitstaff was highly attentive and knowledgeable. Cocktails were delicious. Large menu available. This is clearly THE place to eat in this town!!

    This is a cool gastropub right across the river. The building is a cool industrial style, exposed brick, steel beams, and has a great vibe. (it was once a stable and livery) I got the goat cheese fritters as an appetizer. They came out quickly and were crispy! I could do without the honey on top, but that's personal taste. For my entrée I did wagyu steak frites which was delicious! Service was great and food arrived quickly.

    Was my first time at the Exchange Pub and Mikayla H was the best. She was super helpful, kind and so sweet! I honestly felt like I had made a friend once it was time to leave. Will definitely be back. She also made a super yummy Tito’s punch. They don’t carry Malibu’s Coconut Rum but she offered other things she could use instead of Malibu’s that would get me the closest to a Tito’s punch and I really appreciated that.

    My husband and I went for lunch and were seated quickly and had our drinks in a matter of 5 minutes. We ordered the goat cheese fritters with honey aoili for an appetizer (like always), I ordered their ramen bowl and my husband ordered the GOAT burger. He has me try his since it has goat cheese and bacon, and it was probably the best burger I've ever tasted. Cooked nearly rare it was full of flavor. My ramen bowl was also amazing. I wish we'd have had time for dessert, but will definitely try it next time.

    We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at the exchange for 30ish people and it could not have been more perfect. All the food came out at the same time, and was top quality. The bar drinks were great and moved along quickly as well. We had numerous people tell us that was the best rehearsal dinner experience they’ve ever had. The price was very fair as well, considering all we purchased. I can’t recommend them enough!

  • 5/5 Chris L. 2 years ago on Google
    This was an awesome find from Google Maps. It is a very well staffed clean restaurant that has great food. The building is old industrial tastefully decorated with retro lighting and sprinkled with modern abstract art. Everyone was super friendly and they have nailed Nasville hot chicken. Try the pretzel for an appetizer.

  • 5/5 Mayur R. 2 years ago on Google
    Have been to a few places. But this place has a class of its own. Great ambience. Good staff. Food is definitely a big mention here. Special mention about the Goat cheese fritters , Fish & chips. A special mention to our Waiter KCI was wonderful special mention by my wife. Do ask for her. She is great.

  • 5/5 Alexis P. 2 years ago on Google
    Good drinks. Great atmosphere. Fantastic food, and an INCREDIBLE experience overall. This was my first time at The Exchange and it most certainly won’t be my last, especially if we are lucky enough to get Molli as a server again. She went above and beyond for us from start to finish.

👍👍 Delicious specialty rolls and sashimi. Jasmine tea with honey was a nice touch. Even the small salad was overflowing and fresh. We had an amazing lunch!
