We had a party of five with two children and a 7:00pm reservation. As we walked in I thought the place looked nice and well done. Decent ambiance on the lower floor. We had reservations for the roof which was a neat place with a great view. It was about 15 minutes before our order was taken. My wife stopped waiter and asked if we could order, otherwise we might still be there. The waitress seemed disinterested, but managed to accurately take our order. The kids meals arrived at the 50 minister mark, and by then they were restless and bored. The adult meals arrived one hour after we sat down. Food was not bad for bar food. My wife had a nice looking salad. I ordered fish and chips substituting a baked potato for the chips. The fish was good, although overcooked on the bottom, the potato looked as if it was hours old and was dry with little topping. I would say the ambiance was a three and a half. The food a 2, and the service was pushing a 1. If you have nice weather, the roof is worth trying. read more

Our server was kind, funny, and patient. My family and I ate on the roof during nice weather which was beautiful. The mushroom bacon Swiss burger was delicious. It had too much mayo, but I didn't request light mayo. The okra was good, but wasn't crispy like how I like mine. Yet again, I didn't ask them to make sure it was extra crispy. Would recommend! read more

Great place with a rooftop dining area, great place for a date night. Great food and awesome atmosphere. Me and my date Megan visited here during December 2024 and the area was decorated with lights for Christmas. read more

Food is good but they need more kitchen staff. Had a party of 19. Half of everyone's food came out and you would think the rest would have followed but it took another HOUR to get the rest of the food. Totally uncalled for. This has happened before to me also there. Need more kitchen staff and/or better time management. Wait staff was wonderful. read more

Awesome cheese sticks awesome sweet tea awesome pot roast Awesome service The cooks even put the gravy to the side because sometimes I don't like a restaurant gravy recipe read more

Raines On Exchange Bar And Grill - Pot roast with gravy on the side because I sometimes don't like gravy - Sports Bars Near Me - Pendleton, South Carolina

I was at your establishment tonight; I was blown away by the servers pushing a wire cart with food and beverages through the dining room. The food was sorry and was not what I expected. I happen to be a dining specialist. Was not impressed. read more

Food was mediocre, at best. Burger was ok, steak wasn't cooked well. Service was sub par. Try another place on the block.

Great location right on the old town square in Pendleton. Was fairly crowded when we arrived on a Saturday night. The wait was around 40 minutes. Once seated, the service was very good. Attentive, but not intrusive. The vibe is somewhat standard grill with sports on some TVs. The menu has a good amount of options. We decided on a Chicken Fried Steak sandwich and the Sirloin Steak with green beans as a side. Overall, the quality of the food was good. The disappointing part was how salty everything was. It was the main flavor in the sandwich and the green beans. Maybe an off night... read more

I ordered the fish sandwich with okra and my husband had the buffalo chicken wrap. Although the sandwich was tasty, I wish they had offered the fish sandwich grilled. Service was good and our waitress had a great personality. read more

Great food and atmosphere! We also cater this for work, and the food is just as good. Great burger and fries!

Great food, atmosphere, and staff. Amazing place to stop by after a round of golf. 10/10 recommend stopping by.

Excellent service. Our waitress was prompt, attentive, polite and professional. No room for improvement there (we did not catch her name. But I say she was in her early 20s blonde hair worked upstairs where we sat). Steak: priced a little high for no more than what was served. Tasted like it had a packaged Montreal seasoning on it. Loaded potato: Delicious. Hamburger: Priced fairly. Delicious sweet bun and fried onions but burger was very thin. Didn't really taste it because it was thin and the flavor of the sweet bun although delicious, overtook the hamburger. Balcony - not a place to eat at in the early evening in May due to sun. But would be excellent later in the evening after 7 or 8 when the sun has gone behind the trees. Great view of the village green. The manager was very friendly. The bar drinks were good. I thought the cocktails were priced fairly. The liquor prices too high. Remember this is a sports bar with loud music. So don't go there on a date if you want to hear each other. The prices are not that of a sports bar as far as the steaks and drinks but priced more for a fine dining restaurant. read more

Highly recommended. We went here following our visit to the Christmas Market. A local police officer watching the event recommended it to us and he was right. Great food and attentive service. I had the sirloin and it was outstanding. The other members of our group loved their choices too. read more

Food was awesome, our server was attentive and the vibe was perfect. It was exactly what we were looking for.

Highly recommend!!!! 10+ Stars. My family and I go in at least once every 4 or 5 weeks. We were in on a BUSY night, Friday, 2/21/25 around 5:00 p.m. Bre was our waitress AGAIN!! We really like her. She is efficient, friendly, Helpful with the menu, always courteous and kind. Food was GREAT!! Service GREAT, they were a little busy but she kept our drinks, full, came back to check on us to make sure things were still okay. Friendly staff, very helpful, if you have an question almost anyone can help you. That is why we keep coming here. Looking forward to our next visit. Hi Bre!!! The Saylor Family read more

Food was awesome and the fries are actually the best in the world oh my gosh, Diet Coke is also very fresh and crisp, service is great as well! read more

Went to this restaurant on the square in Pendleton for the first time-dinner with a friend. Atmosphere was like a sports bar/restaurant. Several TVs. Low and high top tables. It has two floors-steep stairs but there is an elevator. (I think it is a rooftop area Not sure what it looks like though,) Didn't go up there because it was reserved for a large group. We went at 6:00 pm on a Tuesday - a little noisy, but we were able to carry on a conversation. The server said it gets noisier as the night goes on. We were seated right away. I chose the 14 ounce ribeye with a side of mashed potatoes and fried okra. It was good. My friend had the cheeseburger bacon burger with a side of fried okra. She said the burger was delicious. I guess we were both hungry because I forgot to take pictures of the food! The only wait time we ran into was getting our check and to-go boxes at the end of the meal. The server was very nice and the food was good. I'll take the hubby next time so he can give it a try. AND hopefully I'll remember to take pictures of the food. read more

service was bad, food was OK, and I looked into the kitchen and was appalled the health regulations

We ordered our dinner tonight via DoorDash. I had the hamburger steak w' gravy. I chose mashed potatoes as my side with an extra side of green beans. My husband ordered the grilled salmon w' broccoli. Folks - everything was delicious! It arrived hot, well packaged and beautifully prepared. Best hamburger steak ever! Run - don't walk to Raines on Exchange. You won't be disappointed. read more

Food was awful. Sandwich was burnt, baked potato was dried out and tough. Wings were soggy and bland. Bottled alcohol was old. I asked for limes with my drink and they gave me two small dried out end pieces, I barely got a drop out of them. Tacked on so many service fees to our tab that an $18 tab turned into $29. The only good thing about this place was the waitress who was very attentive and got everything right. Would not waste my time or money here again. read more

Best wings in the upstate. Love the rooftop bar area! The service is always good. Nice vibe

Justin was very helpful on our catering order, with prompt responses. The food was done on time and was delicious!

Good food and service. Ate upstairs on the balcony. Little windy but no fault of Raines. Would return. read more

Love this place! It's just what our tiny town needed! Great management by Jeff Raines, too! Food is always wonderful and the prices are also very budget friendly. Nicely stocked bar, also. You can't beat the rooftop seating, either! Highly recommend! read more

Great place on the square in Pendleton. Good food & excellent service. Great place to catch up with friends.

Finally got in to check out the roof top seating, great layout. Have no idea about the quality of the food or beverages as we sat for 15 minutes without so much as a hello. Very disappointing as it was busy but not slammed. read more

What a great treat on a gray Saturday afternoon. We ate at the bar in Raines on Exchange in Pendleton, SC. Had a great view of the village green. The service was great as was the food! The atmosphere was friendly; the restaurant was very clean with a good, navigable layout. When our bill came I thought they had made a mistake. I thought maybe they forgot to add a drink. But, no. So, not only is the food very tasty and well prepared, but it would be difficult to find that same quality at those great prices. read more

Decent food but ambiance is pretty bad.... Just feels very cold inside, doesn't have a welcoming ambiance. It's a shame because a lot of work was done to retrofit the old building. This place can have a lot of potential but it was very underwhelming. read more

My husband, my father-in-law and I were in town visiting our son at Clemson. We were looking for a fun sports bar to have dinner and watch the football game. We found this cool place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. The interior is fun and modern and it is situated in an adorable downtown right on the square. The prices were very reasonable and the food was delicious! We loved the wings, sweet fries, fried pickles, grilled mahi-mahi. It was loud on a Saturday night with the game going on but that's what made it even more fun! Our server was friendly and patient. We stayed for the whole first half and she took great care of us! read more

Dropped in on a Thursday. Upstairs was full so we sat downstairs, which had only a few people at tables, and a few at the bar. The atmosphere was not welcoming or comfortable. After being seated we had to ask to be moved because the table had 7 coasters under one leg, and it still rocked. The service was friendly but slow, and the food (hamburgers and fries) was terrible. This is a chain? Hard pass. read more

Our server was wonderful and we were hoping the food would be also. Sad to say the food was a big disappointment. My salmon was so over seasoned that I found it impossible to eat. Such a shame because it looked like a wonderful piece. I also had sweet fries (that's how it's listed on their menu) and I bet if they were actually hot they would have been great (what few there were). They were not great because they were cold & nasty. We sat upstairs and we were looking forward to a nice dinner but when people let their kids go wherever they want it does t make for a good dining experience My 2nd time here and I probably won't spend my money there again read more

The salmon dinner was a piece of overcooked salmon- plain - looking like it had come from a frozen package from Sam's Club- with a side dish of overdone broccoli in a soy like sauce. That was all- price was something like $17.99. Presentation was nothing more than the above. Didn't come with a potato or rice of some sort, a sauce, anything. Bland, bla. Really? My friend's salmon salad was this dry overcooked fish on what seemed like just a box of spring mix greens dumped on the plate. Maybe the burgers are better. This place needs to up their game, or move over to something that is a better quality in this precious real estate. read more

The food was very good and the service was too! Great atmosphere upstairs. Beautiful night added to the ambiance.

Very good food. Fantastic bar tenders. Worth the trip to Pendleton. Tenders and steak are excellent.

Cold, food was slow service and fries were cold. Fish sandwich was good. The entrance door was opened too much and cold air caused our group to wear their winter coats. Nothing special. Hamburgers were average at best. read more

We were happy to learn a mid-priced restaurant was coming to Pendleton. Several friends went to this place soon after it opened and said it was disappointing. We decided to wait a few months, thinking they'd work out the kinks. They haven't. The service and atmosphere were fine, but the food was no better than you might get at a decent fast-food place. Burgers make up a large part of the menu, but friends told us the burgers were not very good. So my wife ordered popcorn shrimp and I ordered fish and chips. Some of the popcorn were empty of shrimp - just fried batter. My fish and chips were greasy and undercooked. Next time we'll take the money and go for a great, authentic NY pizza next door at Brooklyn Pizza. We won't be disappointed. read more
