It's impressive when the counter girl remembers your name and how you take your coffee. The crepes from the crepe area were great. They weren't as friendly as the girl at the breakfast area. The brisket was good as well as the beans. The male behind the cou ter was also very nice.

Hello Dallas, Texas!!! While in Dallas for a Health and Wellness conference, The Exchange was super close to our hotel and definitely a unique experience!!! We really wanted some Texas BB-Q…so we went to Brisket Rules in this amazing place! First off, a smile and friendly service is super important to me - and we were greeted with just that from Fransisco!!! He has a great personality and was so good to us! He knows the menu well, answered all of our questions with a friendly attitude and even brought our food to our table!!! I ordered the “Bowl Up” and it did not disappoint!!! So good - so flavorful - absolutely delicious!!! So if you want great good and great service - choose this place! You’ll be glad you did!!!

I was visiting my daughter at work and we stopped by for lunch. This is a great place to stop for working professionals; especially those who work nearby. There's a decent variety of choices abs the location is busy and great for people watching or just enjoying the outdoors. The prices were on the high side, IMO, but that's likely to be expected considering it's a very touristy area. Due to dietary restrictions, I ordered a cucumber salad (pic included) and a bottled water for just under $9. My daughter had a curry bowl, at a different restaurant that was over $18! It's a good vibe outdoors if you have time to visit. The inside is just busy, noisy. But there's seating available to enjoy your meal.

The Exchange Food Hall is such a nice and fun place to visit! There’s a great variety of food and coffee options, so everyone can find something they love. You can easily grab your food, enjoy a drink, and relax because there is plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. The atmosphere is lively but still comfortable, making it perfect for families, friends, or even a casual solo outing. Everything feels clean, organized, and welcoming, and the setup makes it easy to walk around and explore different spots. Definitely a great place to hang out, eat good food, and enjoy the vibe. I really enjoyed my time here and will be coming back again!

Cool experience with lots of options. We had the Wok and tried the Pad Thai, Panang Curry, and the Lobster Rangoons. Would definitely go again.

I am in Dallas working a conference. We decide to walk to the food hall for something different. What a surprise. A food hall in the city open late with a good variety of food options. I had an excellent Cheese Steak from one restaurant and Clam Chowder from another. One person had Curry Chicken and yet another had tacos from around the world, getting tacos from 3 different restaurants. It was after 8pm so it wasn't very busy. There was a lot a security around, I guess for helping keep dinners safe. We didn't have any issues but it was noticeable. We finished off our meals with ice cream that was very good.

This place is excellent! We had the street tacos, strawberry banana crepe, and chicken and waffles. All the employees were super friendly and the food was AMAZING. Will definitely be going back.
