“Love this spot. Great owners. Great feel. Good food. One of my favs.“

“My waiter Addison was great and very attentive. However, the short rib sandwich was over cooked and over priced. On line there were a couple of items that I didn't see on the actual menu while at the restaurant. We were given the lunch menu at the front door, this really confused me, later Addison eventually figured it out. The rest of the experience was nice. The comedy acts were funny, except for the second to last guy, that totally bombed, as part of his act was to call all women bitches. He was poorly prepared, and otherwise was not funny at all, and should not be invited back.“

“Always a great time when we come here!“

“Just a few doors down from the Turf Club sits a genuine hole- in- the- wall gem. A unique dining experience of food with flavors to expand your pallet. We had the yebeg tibs and veggie sambusa and a just in case order of chicken strips and french fries, which, while delicious, remained largely untouched as the yebeg lamb tibs and veggies entree was the star of the table. A No Forks Allowed shared entree with flavors that dance in your mouth, the bread (is that what it's called?) comes rolled up and the protein sits on top like a carpet. You grab a little piece of bread and scoop it up and make a mess and laugh and eat and EAT. The sauce was a savory, smoky collection of herbs and with a Minnesota Nice kick of spice, if my 70 yo mom could handle it, you can handle it. The umami was out of this world (and helps me to finally be able to define the taste, actually) The veggie sambusa was a perfectly fried pillow of yummy veggies with a salsa for dipping and the chicken strips were fried to perfection with fluffy french fries. The server was fast, friendly, and offered suggestions and answered questions we had about the menu. This restaurant is an invitation to a cultural exhibition of flavor and best of all, our 2 entrees — both large enough to share with at least 3 people) 2 drinks, and 1 app were reasonably priced at under $50.00. If you're going to a show at the Turf Club, come early for parking and dinner at Dilla, you won't be disappointed. It is an excellent addition to University Ave, I am glad they found a home on our little stretch of road and we should welcome them with open arms and empty bellies.“

“Just good all around place for food and drink“

“Oh so delicious! Best burgers and fried chicken sandwich! Ice cold Beer!“

“Recommend them. Just like the UK justice system only recognize two genders. A++“

“Kinda silly but they have my favorite house salad in the city. It’s a large enough portion to be a meal on its own, they use really good greens (no shitty iceberg!), and their ranch is the best. Only downside is they don’t give you quite enough ranch and even when I order extra (and probably pay extra) they don’t always put an extra cup of it in.“

“The Bulldog is a pretty standard place, warm beer, stiff drinks, but the reason I'm giving it a five star review is because of our server Hannah. She was AWESOME! She was also friendly, attentive and accommodating. We would go back to the Bulldog just because of her. Thank you Hannah for bringing some joy to our hang!“

“We stopped at Manning's on 12/19/23 and ordered their burger & fries. The food was soooo good and the service was excellent! We will be back!!!“

“Love the pinball machines! Highly recommended!“

“Absolutely love the Bulldog Downtown & LowerTown!!! Best burgers & Phillies ever!! So glad to be back!!!“

“Excellence ! A touch of Class, Incredible service, Incredible entertainment-Coconut Tiger! Great staff! Unbelievable how amazing the vibes were on Friday night! We love this place! What a great job these guys do wow. A+💯“

“Great staff Great drinks Good music“

“Twin Cities Purdue Alumni Club basketball game watch. Great food and atmosphere. Server was exceptional with a large group, different tabs.“

“I love to play bingo there!“

“I love the Steak and eggs!!!!“

“Food was very good. Kitchen made several mistakes and we had to ask for corrections. That said, the burgers were tasty, the servers were very kind and they did their best to make up the errors. Hash browns were crispy, Hume fries were very good and cheesy. Alfredo was good and servings are plenty. French toast was crisp and caramel sauce was decadent. Will do again“

“Food is fine, nothing special, but what irks me is paying extra for fries. Burgers and fries and I have to pay extra for fries? Because I don’t want chips? It’s literally potatoes! I’m not a fan of their electronic pay system that automatically has different tips with that minimum at 18%. I always do 20% but it’s the principle. And it’s based on tax. I’m not tipping on tax. The people who work there are nice though.“

“Lovely little spot to hang out. Beautiful inside and the staff is friendly. They also have a little patio area in the alley. The space as a whole was clean.
I tried the guava cooler mocktail and it was delicious.
Great space for music too. The stage and sound system are set up really great.“

“I had a delicious smash burger here! The tatertots were also very good. The ordering process is very easy as you find your own table and start a tab using a QR code and credit card. It was very empty when I went but the staff seemed quite busy. I think the vibe was nice but I'm sure it's more fun when it's full.“

“Love the food and atmosphere here. Excellent vibe. Great place for happy hour and to gamble. Love the pulltab girl ❣️❣️“

“Best food I’ve had. Byron who waited/bartender for us is GOAT. Thank you!!!!“

“Great service and food, love this place!“

“The cowboy omelette is the best on the menu. And I haven’t found pancakes better than the pancakes served at Ole Piper Inn,“

“fun little bar few dart boards and a few pool tables“

“Deb is the Bartender here. we just love her, people person, her Personality is infectious!! Great Food!!😊“

“We had yet another fantastic dining experience at The Exchange, and this visit truly exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was vibrant and inviting, setting the perfect tone for a memorable evening. Our server, Angela, was an absolute gem, her enthusiasm for the menu and her attentive service made all the difference.

She went above and beyond, sharing her favorites and suggesting delightful pairings that enhanced our meal. Angela’s warm personality and genuine care made us feel like we were the most important guests in the restaurant.

We decided to try the Cuban sandwich, and it was nothing short of spectacular! The combination of flavors was harmonious, with perfectly grilled bread and succulent fillings that danced on our taste buds.

As we dined, the atmosphere buzzed with laughter and the clinking of glasses, adding to the excitement of the evening. Each bite of food felt like a celebration, and we savored every moment.

Overall, it was an amazing dinner that transcended our expectations, and we can’t wait to return for another culinary adventure at The Exchange!“

“A friend and I visiting from out of town stopped by here for a couple of drinks outside. It’s unapologetically a neighborhood dive bar that looks to have been there for maybe 100 years. The outdoor patio has about 10 tables, next to the parking lot. Our waitress and bartenders were super friendly and nice. They are famous for the “Original” roast beef sandwich. So we ordered it. I wouldn’t order again. It was fine, but basically a massive pile of meat on a bun. Maybe it’s famous for how big it is.“
