Food was ok. Had the fried chicken club. Bacon was the star. There was very little chicken and it wasn’t crispy at all. Fries were not great. Service was friendly but a little slow. Nice atmosphere.

This was the worst brisket I've ever had in my life. The first bite was gristley and I spit it out. Nasty tangy BBQ smothered, I think to cover the quality of the meat....the Mac&cheese was dry and curdled... My husband had the 8oz filet that looked like a 5oz. And idk what others consider loaded mashed potatoes, but I don't think it included raw bacon and what looked like thousand island dressing. We should have complained, but didn't. As we were leaving the table next to us was in the process of getting the entire bill comped due to the quality of food. They were the smart ones. The waitress should have noticed when she took away my plate. She didn't ask how it was. Will definitely not be back. EVER.

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!

We celebrated at The Exchange Food and Drink after our wedding. we rented the private room, everything was greaaaaaaat! Our waiter was ON IT! Justin was wonderful to work with through the process. He is professional and very kind! I even threw him a loop on the day of the event, my friend went to decorate and it was very last minute, I wasn't able to communicate with her about what me and Justin had already discussed, so she went there expecting something else, Justin accomidated her with no questions asked! So thank you so much for that, Justin! My bad! I had bride mind! 😉 Thank you so much for making my reception wonderful!
For lunch, brunch, dinner or a party, definitely keep this place in mind!! You won't be disappointed!
Thank you so much!!!

We decided to try this place based on the reviews. Unfortunately they fell very short on the expectations. We ordered turkey burgers which were good, pretty basic. The fries that came with the burgers were not good. It tastes like they refried an old batch of fries or something because some pieces were overcooked and greasy and others were just underdone. I love fries but we couldn't stomach them so we left them in the plate. We also ordered drinks which were absolutely disappointing. If your drinks are not up to par, as a business you should NOT be charging $12 plus for them. My husband's drink tasted like nothing but lemon juice and I ordered an espresso martini which literally looked and tasted like they filled my glass with Bailey's. I couldn't even drink it and my server was nice enough to take it off the tab with no issue. In regards to the atmosphere, the floors looked dirty and there was stuff all over like they hadn't swept in a while. I would not come back here again.
