    That's it
    Timothy T.

    Picture a mini food court and that's pretty much what you have here. I believe there's 5 separate restaurants in which to choose. There's a burger joint, coffee shop, vegetarian place, one other, and El Coyote Mexican fare, that my daughter and I chose. You go up to the counter order your food and wait for your order to arrive at community tables. For lunch I decided on the steak and cilantro empanadas and my daughter opted for the half order of chicken mango quesadilla. Our friendly server came to our table with a smile and warned me my empanadas were blazing hot (temperature.) She added that she gave me a fork and knife so I wouldn't burn myself. Nice. The food was very good; I tried the quesadilla too. The dining area and the men's room were quite clean, food was enjoyable, & service was good. What more can you ask for when looking for a quick lunch?

    Tequila Lima Tenders

    First time being in The Exchange, the set up was very unique. There is plenty of seating and a wide variety of food to choose from. I went to El coyote and ordered the Tequila Lime Tenders & Chicken and Rice soup (soup of the day). My total order came out to be around $16. Now, as a college student, that's pretty pricey for only two items. Out of the two items that I ordered, I definitely enjoyed the Tequila Lime tenders. They. Were. Amazing. The sauce that went with the tenders was incredible and the tenders were juicy and not dry. I definitely recommend them if you're a wings/tenders person. On the other hand, the soup was not so great. The chicken & rice soup was bit too salty and was also expensive for its size.

    Before I start they add 3% to your bill if you use a credit card. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯…read moreThe wife felt like "bar food." So we figured Tailgaters. First off, our server Terri is awesome. She checked on us just enough. A basket of popcorn on the table, and the menus with QR codes for the beer are good touches. I had draft, but the wife liked the peach tea and loved the Azalea lemonade. We only had apps, so we went with sliders (tasted flame-broiled), pretzel bites, chicken Caesar (great dressing), pickle chips (you get a lot), and some of the best shoestring French fries I've ever had. The way McDonald's used to taste. This was something my wife needed, and you guys came through, so thanks. But I have to take a star for the 3% thing because you put it in really small print at the bottom of the menu. Why not put it at the top?

Our bartender was very friendly and they had a nice selection of beers on tap. The menu is pretty extensive for a place like this. Everything from burgers to Italian to specialty pizzas and tacos were available. We went with the clams and linguini alongside a buffalo chicken pizza. Both were super tasty and reasonably priced. The restaurant itself is cozy, but not crammed. It had a great energy overall and I look forward to stopping in again sometime soon.

The draft beer selection is great and they have a nice variety of wines and specialty cocktails. The service this time was unfortunately lacking, although the server was very pleasant and efficient as much as he could be. The problem is that he was the only one serving in a very crowded table area. I was going to give four stars for this review because of the service, but I know from past experience that this was not the norm.

All the waitresses are personable, they greet us by name and they seem to know so many of the repeat guests. It feels like a true neighborhood spot where everyone is welcome. Just wanted to share two of our favorites from a place we always enjoy. JJ's never disappoints.

I ordered the cheesesteak eggrolls which came with an excellent cheese sauce and scallions. The smashburger tacos were cooked to perfection. Just a little pink on the meat and the lettuce, tomato and fixings were just the right amount to balance the tacos. I highly recommend!
