Breakfast Menu "The Exchange Food and Drink" New Brighton

Have been here a couple of times with a friend for lunch. I've had the chicken wrap once and the reuben another time. Both were good. I enjoy their fries. I've been quite pleased with the food, portion size, and the taste. I'd recommend this place.

Looks like a typical American style restaurant with a bar. Don't let that fool you! Food was excellent!! I had the meat and potato special. Filet was tender and done just right. Buttermilk mashed potatoes delish! There was a blue cheese cream sauce drizzled over which was yum! My daughter wanted light sauce on her pizza. The sauce was thicker than expected, so it seemed to have more sauce than it did. They remade her pizza and blended the sauce so I wasn't as thick. Not many restaurants will go to that trouble. Our server was excellent even though she was new. Clean restaurant. It was a little loud due to the bar, but I didn't notice it after a while.

Food was really tasty, but the service was a little slow. Took a while for anyone to bring water or take our order. No kids menus available. We were told this was because the kids menus were only on the managers' phones and they were both out of town (?). Staff was friendly enough, but obviously stretched thin.

The food was absolutely worth the price. It was high quality, amazing portions, and very fresh. I ordered a medium rare burger and it was done like a commercial burger - perfect. We ordered nachos for an appetizer and they were fresh, crispy, and full of flavor. From the top of the stack to the bottom they made these nachos incredible. The fries were crispy, the chicken was cooked perfectly, and the Reuben was made exactly how you'd hope for. I can't finish the review without calling out our server, Hailey, who was an incredibly waitress. Very friendly, professional, and on top of everything we needed. Thank you for the incredible service, we are definitely coming back!

"Eh" is about all I can think of regarding the experience. It was at best, average. The sandwich was OK. Bread was was too thick compared to the contents and a little stale. Fries were decent. Would have loved to order a second drink but the bartender went outside at 6pm (the middle of dinner service) for a 15 minute smoke break. I didn't walk out thinking, "I am coming back here". Probably explains why it was almost empty inside.

I really like the shuffleboard game. Full bar with a decent tap list. The patio is nice. I think the food is just OK. I eat veg - best options: vegan-ize the umami bomb pizza or the veggie melt (server understood how to accommodate). They also have a house-made veg-burger patty. Servers have always been really good, but sometimes a little on the slow side.

Was in the area for some company training and was looking for nice casual dining, came across The Exchange doing a search. Menu looked fresh and unique and it was very good. Had the hummus, a pizza and chocolate cake. Service was friendly and courteous. We enjoyed our meal very much and highly recommend.

Food was amazing. Also, as busy as they were, the waitress was still able to watch for when we needed drinks, etc. Steak was perfect inside, asked for medium rare and received medium rare. Hard to find a decent cooked steak when going out to eat, usually overcooked but not this time. Mashed potatoes with grilled onions and asparagus was so yummy. Cheesecake for dessert was good.
