There's lots of good pubs in Gawler but this I possibly the best. Service is brilliant, friendly and very helpful and the food is first class. Lunch specials offer amazing value. And they serve Stella, what's not to like?

Excellent lunch time meals at great prices. Quiet relaxing atmosphere with good friendly service. Better than a noisy mall eating plastic food.

Family birthday function upstairs, staff could not have been more friendly and helpful.
Functions manager was also terrific, nothing was an issue.
Having pizzas made in the room was wonderful.

Good pub food, nice atmosphere, friendly staff only complaint the Rib corn, what a rip off 4 strip's of corn = half a corn cob, nothing else on the plate, a whole corn cob cost $1 from the supermarket. Huge profit your making from that corn, Glad it was tasty. My friends and I had a good night. Thanks ?

Why offer a month of May special of braised beef cheeks with Yorkshire pudding if you don't have any Yorkshire puddings? We paid $32 for our meal and didn't get all of it. No apologies, just an offer a toast in response. It's not good enough when your spending large quantities of money and not getting what you advertise. It's just like when I came in for potato gems with pulled brisket, only to get chips instead of gems with a weak excuse of "we don't have any". We love coming here for the food, but seriously you guys need to get ahead of stock control and make sure you actually have what you advertise. We have a local business a couple doors away and we want to support local, but you guys need to sort out your stock control big time.

Went down to the exchange for the 50c wings on Wednesday with 2 mates. Make sure if you're going around dinner time to book a day in advance as the place fills up fairly quickly for dinner service.

The meals were really nice, they had 17$ beer jug specials on 3 different draughts. The staff were friendly and proactive, the atmosphere was nice and chill. I'll definitely be back.

We consumed 120 wings and a bowl of chips between the 3 of us and every bit was consistently cooked and delicious. Thanks guys !

Came here last night for there quiz night and 50c chicken wings and look whilst the atmosphere and quiz night were pretty decent, the food quality and drink prices were pretty shocking, ordered the chicken wings, 7 (fiery hot) and 8 BBQ glaze, the chicken wings were tiny as hell, might as well of been called wing niblets, my index finger was longer then the length of the wings, the (fiery hot) wings were weak as hell and had zero spice and the bbq glaze tasted of nothing but smoke and what chicken were on the "wings" was dry and tough, not to mention a pint of one of there lowest alcohol beer costing nearly $9 a pint !!!! There's a big reason as to why it's been nearly 4 years since I've been back there and it's gonna be even longer if at all till I go back again....... ??'??

We went for a impromptu lunch.
On our way through passing Gawler. A nice vibe ,
The Staff were lovely..service and food to table were on point. We opted for the $15 lunch menu. Could not fault portion size or quality of the meal. ??'??

Never the type to leave reviews but fed up and annoyed at this point. Long story short if your not white Australian or look ethnic don't bother going to this place. Multiple times I've been given a hard time by the bouncers there, I've been turned away for the smallest things whilst there are people let in with the same attire as myself. Didn't think much the first couple times but now it's just obvious.

The exchange is a alright place to get a drink and some food. Got the special Wings Wednesday deal and a platter of 50 of them. Very nice but forgot the sauce. Overall a nice pub to have a drink, food, and talk.

Average food, garlic bread so over priced for what you get in fact the whole menu is over priced would not hurry back, there are several pubs who serve up much better quality and portion at a far more reasonable price in Gawler. Real pity because American style cuisine can be fantastic.

Ordered a Burger take away and was told it would be 15 minutes. 37 minutes later still hadn't arrived. Had to ask about the order. Waitress went off to bag it up and brought it out. Walked out to the park to eat it and it was stone cold. Took it back in and got the third degree about how long it had been since we left with it. No apology but eventually told they would make fresh order. Timer is ticking

We were very disappointed with our lunchtime meals yesterday. Three orders of Barra which were small tail pieces certainly not $29 worth each. A dessert was offered which was a Oreo Brownie and when that was presented it was burnt and hard.

The owner is great, the staff are polite and really take care of you. They lost some great staff over the last 12 months who found other work, but the fun loving culture hasn't deteriorated. The food is always well prepared and fast to serve, and the selection of standard and craft beers is huge and the cocktails are good value.

Place is rather confusing. There is next to no lighting from the rear entrance which is not only a safety issue for a number of reasons, but as expected by government to do a covid check in upon entering any venue/facility.. not only can u barley see where you are walking but how are you supposed to even see the covid check in qr code in order to check in? On top of that, the food was below average for what I ordered (chicken salad) and the staff were not overly friendly. The toilets were also below standard in regards to cleanliness.

Went to a quiz night
Food seriously lacking salt and flavour. Definitely not worth the price.
Wings we ordered had no sauce and were dry. Cheese burger was under cooked (raw) nothing was done when returned.
Schnitzel was over cooked.
We weren't given any Cutlery with our food.
Heater ran out of gas half way through the night and we asked 4 times before it was fixed.
At 9pm when we went to the toilet there was no lights in the toilet or down the path to find the toilet.

The quiz itself was good and definitely good atmosphere

I watched staff drinking soft drink behind the beer taps, while customers waited to be served.
General food was being run through a private function, including dirty plates back to kitchen.

Tonight, I watched security ask a patron to leave the premises based on her appearance. The the lady had a small face tattoo that read "self love" and apparently this was deemed unacceptable.
She was ordered to cover with makeup or leave venue.
I was absolutely appalling to see and hear this type of discrimination by management and security.
The lady and her friends were simply enjoying a quiet drink and not bothering anyone.
Meanwhile I watched security let in numerous patrons with full face paint and ID was not even requested.

Wedding being held in the main dining room (as a private function) and the wait staff are carrying meals from the kitchen and clearing tables to other patrons in the venue. The service in the venue is appauling and the management need to review their operations. We ordered entrees and had to request cutlery after the meals were placed on the table. Without napkins or share plates. Know the industry or get out. Better quality staff are required. You have partons attending the venue and such a missed opportunity.

A patron to your venue was also asked to leave, for having a face tat. There was nothing rude or offensive. The group of ladies were sitting at the back of the venue, not causing any issues. Enjoying the entertainment. Yet a local sports team turned up in their sports gears, smelling and face make-up. Security would not have been able to ID them. This was a case of discrimination 101 and is totally unacceptable.

Beer, to a sufficient standard,
Soft drink was tasteless soda water.
Food below average, and over priced for pub type feed.
Best thing about the whole experience was the chips.
Cool building bumped it up to being worth 2 stars.

Rating this place as an ex-chef, atmosphere 5 stars, customer service 5 Stars. But and it is a big but, the price compared to portion sizes doesn't work out. I use to price dishes to see whether the dish will be profitable as well as making the dishes a decent portion size. This place has certainly put quality aside!! Which is a recipe for disaster and I doubt this to be sustained for a long period. Attention to detail with how the food is cooked, presented and priced is why I am rating The Exchange (Murray's Bar and Grill) 3 Stars. Adjusting the portion sizes to reflect the pricing will be a great place to start. Let's be honest this place is not a Michelin Star restaurant!!nIf it wasn't for the Night Club Friday and Live Band Saturday this place would struggle.nGuys you have a great place make it work better!!nSorry for the criticism
