Swinging Door Exchange Saloon Eatery

This small, cozy restaurant gets busy quickly! We arrived at 5:30 on a Saturday night, and it was already full with only standing room available for those waiting. However, the wait was definitely worth it. The BBQ ribs were delicious and fell right off the bone. The sides of grilled beets with goat cheese, Brussels sprouts, and Vermouth carrots were all outstanding; I could have happily just had those! Everything was served promptly and hot, and our waiter was friendly, humorous, and truly contributed to the fantastic experience. I would definitely return!

Fish Fry Friday is definitely enjoyable, but if you're a fan of mussels, you have to try them—they're incredible! The service is friendly and welcoming, and there's a nice variety of drinks available.

Overall, a good experience but I can't hide my disappointment about the food here. This place is tight. Cozy tight. It has more tables and chairs than you'd normally expect. Everything is packed tight. It's not a place you go to relax and wind down. It's loud busy and fast. I visited on a Tuesday night and the place was full and had to wait for about 30 minutes before a table became available. Service is good but definitely understaffed. The server appeared to be overwhelmed and busy. However the service was good and attentive and was almost not compromised at all. The menu is centered around comfort food. I have to admit that the quality of the food was not up to the hype. Some dishes were perfect, other were a little dry and mediocre at best. This is a Downtown establishment. Expect some parking difficulties. There's a parking lot next block but either way you will be paying for it. Overall a good dining-in experience. I will be coming back again.

Such a cool atmosphere!! Excellent food! The carmalized brussel sprouts were a surprise! SO good!! As was our other food!

It's a classic spot in the downtown area that I've frequented many times over the past decade. We visited on a Thursday night and arrived just before 7 PM. As expected, it was busy when we got there. We signed up for a table but ended up finding two seats at the bar instead. We enjoyed a couple of beers while having dinner. To start, we ordered four shrimp, and I had the Cowboy burger along with a Russian sandwich, as shown in the pictures.
