Consistency is an issue. I have had great meals there, with great service. However, the deal killer is you never know how the meal is going to go before you get there. Are you going to have an attentive server who follows up in a timely fashion, or are you going to wait for 15, 20, or even 30 minutes waiting for something to happen as your server disappears in to the back or hangs out by the bar. There have been times where I left cash on the table and walked out because it was so difficult to get any sort of proper service.

Nice spot but annoyed that we had to pay for parking. Food and service were okay, nothing to write home about.

Had the best dinner with friends while visiting Newark. Sat on this beautiful patio. The food was amazing and had gluten free options which I appreciate. Enjoyed a great burger and gf key lime pie which were both delicious! The staff were friendly and very accommodating.

We were recently at the Grain Exchange for a private birthday celebration. The staff were incredibly attentive, the food and drinks were amazing and the space is really nice. I especially loved the patio once the sun set behind the building! It was my first time to the University of Delaware campus, and it definitely left a positive impression. Thanks to everyone at the Grain Exchange who helped my husband’s aunt and uncle throw an incredible birthday party - definitely worth the flight from Atlanta!

We celebrated our son's 40th birthday this past weekend at Grain Exchange, and it could not have been more perfect! From start to finish, Team Grain made this such a memorable and special event for our family! Pete (GM) and Simon (Manager) went above and beyond in helping us plan every detail!! They were so attentive and caring, it truly felt Pete and Simon were celebrating with us! Everyone raved about the food..from appys to entrees (especially Pete's family recipes on the menu). The bartenders (Andy & Sherise) kept the cocktails flowing! Our family had fun trying just about every drink on the menu!!! AJ and Andrew provided amazing support throughout the party too! The venue is so welcoming, with indoor and outdoor space including bars, which was so cool as our family had plenty of room to mingle and enjoy each other. Thanks to the entire Grain Exchange team, our party was a huge success...filled with laughter and lasting memories not just for our son, but for our entire family! We will continue to be Grain Exchange fans for life!

Dog friendly on the patio which was fun for our furry friend and had a great server who was also a pooch owner. All of us enjoyed each other. Oh, the food was great also and a wonderful beer selection.

Hosted an event at Grain Exchange this July and I could not be more pleased with the experience! They are willing to accommodate all of your needs, and the service was excellent. All of the staff are pleasant and helpful!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We love going there for brunch on the weekends because the parking is easier then. The menu changes and the staff are really nice. They have plenty of outdoor seating too. Would definitely recommend it if in the area.
Not enough staff and waited 10 minutes to even be noticed by staff to get food and no one ever approached me despite the sign saying wait to be seated at the front. I’m sure the food is fine I just never managed to order any due to no one being available to wait on me or get me a menu to order. I’ve been here before and it just gets old not getting seen for nearly 20 to 30 minutes due to lack of staff at this location.

Nah bc how do you call yourself “grain and not have anything vegetarian”

The service here is underwhelming. I ordered take-out and there seemed to be no one to help. I went to the bartender and she told me to go to someone else and then they told me to go to someone else. I’ve never been to a place like that. Other than that the atmosphere was cool with the live band

Had the Korean pork tacos. Pork was a little inconsistent. Whether it was crunchy, tender or a little fatty. Spice was right on the money. I would have preferred Shredded or sliced Cucumbers verses the small chunks and the pickled onions didn't have much flavor. Bartender was a bit new but did a good job overall. Not a bad stop for a quick bite.

Friendly staff and good food in a cool new spot that is a great addition to STAR Campus!
