Royal Exchange

If you haven't been to Royal Exchange yet, make sure to snag one of their cozy booths! My colleagues and I settled into one during a rainy evening for dinner, and it was the perfect spot to unwind. Craving something simple, I ordered the fried chicken tenders, and they did not disappoint--crispy, golden, and perfectly fried.

Went to Royal Exchange for a late lunch/ early Happy Hour. Everyone on staff from the bartender to the host to the waiter was very welcoming and hospitable. We took a seat in the window. Loved the ambiance. Definitely had your classic sports bar vibe. TVs visible from every seat but not loud or overwhelming. There was also a good amount of art on the wall with depictions of all our favorite SF teams. Finally the food! Chicken wings were epic! Among the best in the city! So hot, crispy, and we asked for the sauce on the side. They had Buffalo and BBQ to satisfy all taste buds lol. Garlic Parmesan fries were on the HH menu and they did not disappoint. Also had a pretty good sized salmon salad and it had all the flavors! Salmon was cooked very well. Excited to go back when there's a big game on :)

This place is run by the nicest group of people ever. We were going to be in neighborhood for a night market and I called to see if they'd be showing the Tyson/Paul "fight". They weren't planning on it since they didn't have Netflix, but said they'd see what they could do. A few hours later they confirmed, and we were able to make it in time to enjoy some drinks and grub for the big show. The bar provides a warm and friendly environment, thanks in large part to the great attitudes of the staff. And despite the "match" being kind of a dud, I'll always remember how accommodating the Royal Exchange was to making it available for us on such short notice. Thank you!

This gem is perfect for a night out w/ friends, Happy Hour or a quick bite to eat. There are two bars and plenty of open seating including the options of a booth or table. One time I even dropped in here last minute w/ 8 of my coworkers and they were super accommodating.Shoutout to one of their managers or bartenders named Chris. I've dealt w/ him a few times and he's always super friendly, knowledgeable about the menu & wines/beer and makes you feel like "sometimes you want to go where they all just know your name".

Awesome customer service! I can't for the life of me remember my servers name but he has a foodstagram!! He was great with recommendations and checking up on us I ordered the chimi steak sandwich with rosemary fries and it was chefs kiss! I will definitely be back to try it again!

Few places in the world are better than Royal Exchange. Staff, ambiance, food, the whole lot. It's a great experience and I always feel like family at the Royal. When I walk in and Elliott is cutting lemons, I know that I'm home.

After not being able to get into Schroeder's across the street, my date and I came here. Sure I was disappointed that I wasn't getting a pretzel, but I was surprised by how good the chili dog and French fries were. The fries were hot and crispy and the homemade chili had a lot of flavor. Loved that the service was extremely fast, since we were going to the Oakland A's game across the bay.

Enter the self-deprecating humor (?), definitely not a good value for the money, but it's SF and the place is called Royal Exchange. That's on me. I had walked past it a few times so I wanted to try it anyway, especially since the vibe looked decent. 30 bucks for a coke and a burger. Seasoning was decent on the burger but the prep could have been better, cheese wasn't super melty. I guess I just expected more for what I was paying. Service was decent as well. Anyway, it was alright, not great and doesn't warrant a repeat from me because there are so many places to try! Happy foraging.

They're praising their burger, saying it's the best burger in SF, I won't agree or disagree, but the burger was very delicious. One thing I'll say it was outstanding was FRENCH FRIES !!!The waiter was polite and patient with us. Food came super fast, and it was fresh and tasty. Portions are very decent.I recommend this place, it's definitely worth visiting.

My favorite place for lunch / happy hour / meeting / anything. Come here at least once a week. Octavio is like family!
