Exit 2 Bar and Grille

I had the Mediterranean Grilled Salmon salad.
Very tasty and healthy. Nice place. Highly recommended.

Overall a very bad experience. The waitress was very nice, but not even she could make up for the terrible experience we had. I am very understanding being that my family has been in the restaurant business all my life, but the service we received was absolutely terrible. We got there around 6 pm, after about a half hour my fiancée received her salad. After about another half hour the waitress told us another table received my fiancée’s steak so they were going to remake it. she checked in shortly after and advised us that it’s almost done and we would receive a discount. After about another half hour she said it’s almost done and we would get a complimentary dessert as compensation. Finally around 8pm we received our food. The fish fry I ordered was decent and the Steak my fiancée waited two hours for was under cooked and decent at best. All in all the we received no discount for our food after waiting 2 hours for mediocore food, instead we got a small slice of complimentary cheesecake. Very disappointing.

Horrible fish fry. Hardly cooked and very little taste. Best part was the baked bean side dish.

my husband got a burger… it was charcoal burnt. the server did notice that he did not eat any of it and did nothing about it. the cook had to notice it because he put cheese on the burnt burger it smelled burnt when she brought it to the table and when he lifted the roll it was totally black. the fried platter of chicken fingers, onion rings, and mozzarella sticks, all were very bland… flavorless. and they did not skin the onion so you could not even eat the large ring because you could not cut it. the French fries were good. even though they were unsalted too!

Awesome time — great food. Had the parm platter and was excellent. Amazing music by 1 – 2 punch was great. Keep on shining on me…

Went for dinner with my three children. Arrived at about 5:15 on a Wednesday evening. We were sat immediately and our drink orders were taken. The kids drink came in short bar glasses. No plastic or lids which is what I would expect from a restaurant with a kids menu. But that’s ok. We ordered about 5:20. At the time there were about 4 other tables in the restaurant all of which had already been served. 20 minutes later our waitress advised us that our food was almost ready. 10 minutes and after she served a table that arrived after us our good started coming out. I ordered the chicken Milanese which according to the menu was served on a bed of arugula — it came out on a bed of raw spinach. When I inquired the response I received was they ran out of arugula. I advised the waitress that is something you want to tell your guests before you serve it and told her I would not be eating the meal so asked her to take it off the bill. My son ordered a kids hot dog with baked beans. The hot dog came out first but we had to wait an additional 5 minutes for the beans. Not once did I see or speak with a manager. The restaurant was not even close to capacity the entire time we were there. Disappointed in the lengthy wait time to eat, the adjustment to my meal with no notice, and lack of management presence.

Spicy clam chowder, excellent. Pretzels with beer cheese, excellent. Everything was definitely above average, fish taco’s, Wedge salad with salmon which was cooked perfectly. Great menu so many choices, definitely coming back!

Average lunch fare. Took a while for the waitress to come over so we ordered drink sand food at the same time. Took a while for just the waters to come afterwards. Roast beef sandwich was average as was my friends chicken Caesar. Just a very average experience for the most prt. Décor could use some sprucing and the walls were a bit bare. Prices were what you would expect. I would return but probably if I was out of other options it was just very bland for me. Odd that it’s closed on Sunday’s as well.

We had a wonderful experience here! Between the three of us that dined, we had chicken fingers with french fries, cobb salad with chicken, and a bleu cheese stuffed hamburger.
Portions were huge, and everything was well prepared. The burger was medium, as requested. The fried foods were tasty, but not greasy.
Service was attentive but not overly so.
If I had any complaints, it was that if you’re not going to put avocado on it, you can’t call it a cobb salad! ;)

Sat at the bar and had access to the full menu. Bartender very friendly and engaging with all customers. Clean establishment!
Food was soooo good! Strog was full. of mushrooms and beef was done perfectly. Husband got a burger and it tasted like it was grilled on an outdoor grill and done as ordered perfectly.
Never would have happened upon the place in the little strip mall, but so glad we did!

For a $ 13.00 fish fry, I’ve had much better. Choice of breaded or beer battered, I chose breaded. Very bland; addition of pepper didn’t help. Cole slaw was chunky, very bland. «seasoned «fries were okay, won’t be going back.

The food was ok but I ordered a quesadilla. It was suppose to be cheese and veggies-​chicken and other meats were extra. I was halfway into my first triangle and noticed there was chicken in it. Not a problem to most but I am a vegetarian. If I had wanted meat I would have ordered it. Now I feel like I will have to ask every server if there is meat in my vegetarian entrée.

In town taking my dad out for dinner for his birthday. He was in charge of picking the location and my brother and I were slightly nervous when we learned his choice was a strip mall bar. We were soon proven wrong!
When you come, *when* not if, ask to sit in Lenore’s section — super pleasant and great service.
We all ordered the chicken and waffles on birthday boy orders and were definitely not disappointed. The Sriracha in the batter of the chicken tenders is not noticeable to the point of setting your mouth on fire but gives a nice contrast to the sweetness of the maple rum syrup. The chicken is moist, the waffle is light, the walnuts are a perfect crunch and I could keep going. The only thing that Im upset about is that I live 300+ miles away.
Saw other plates of food come out during our meal and everything looked delicious.
Will definitely be back~!

Wonderful little find in a strip mall. Lorene waited on me, and if you come here, ask for her to wait on you. Super nice, super friendly, super helpful, and a kick ass waitress. I nibbled tonight — so tried their mozzarella bites. Balsamic drizzle was a nice touch. Had the buffalo shrimp too. All meat with a good, spicy buffalo sauce. Then went to a chicken caesar salad. Everything was tasty, though the caesar dressing was a bit disappointing. Finished dinner with a slice if pistachio cake. Simple, lite and tasty.
Not a gourmet restaurant, and they don’t pretend to be. But the food was tasty and the service was perfect. That’s enough to earn my recommendation to the locals and anyone visiting. Come check it out.

Man, what a 180 this place has made since changing their name over from «BK Ryans.» I used to live pretty much around the block from this place, so I’ve been here quite a few times. I’m pretty impressed with how DELICIOUS the food is and also equally impressed with the staff.
You can’t go wrong with any of their appetizers, but I especially love their onion rings (and that Sriracha mayo dipping sauce that comes with them.) Burgers are great, fish fry is very good — and beef on weck is also a safe bet. Draught beer selection is okay for the area. You’ll find some domestics, accompanied by a few Great Lakes/​Southern Tier/​Saranac selections. Not bad!
Overall, if I still lived over this way — this would be my go to spot for a quick bite and a pint.

Excellent! We have been eating here since they first opened. The owner makes sure everyone has a great meal by visiting each table. Service is outstanding.
The atmosphere is cozy and quaint.
Every meal I have had at Exit 2 is done to perfection. The sandwiches to the full dinners. And you can not beat their Fish Fry! My husband loves fish frys and says it is the best fish in town.
Many new things on their menu I still must try.

«Unexpected Gem»
Every time I see a restaurant in a strip mall I dismiss it thinking it can’t be any good. Such is not the case with Exit 2. The food is fresh, freshly prepared, very tasty and fairly priced. On a cold winter night my wife and I secured a table near a double sided fireplace which added welcome warmth as well as adding to the ambiance which can be described as casual, comfortable and friendly. They do a good job with the lighting as well, something many restaurants manage to screw up. I love having a go to neighborhood place and Exit 2 is my new find.
Visited January 2015

After the game My Friend and Myself decided to go Exit 2. My Friend had enjoyed His first visit and was anxious to find out that His first visit wasn’t a fluke. He wasn’t disappointed and It was My great fortune to tag along.
We were greeted and seated in short order. We ordered two outstanding beers and pursued the menu. I had The Great Lakes Erie Monster and My Friend had the IPA from Southern Tier Brewing. The fact that they pour Great Lakes Beer is a plus.
I have to be honest I was uncomfortable with the menu. The entrées did not come with salads or soups. I also thought the sides were pricey. I decided that I would hunker down and let the chips fall where they may. My friend went with the Shrimp Scampi. He was thoroughly happy with His dish. I went for the Ravioli. On the menu it is called Oli’o. It features fresh tomatoes, sautéed spinach and a oil, white wine sauce. I enjoyed it so much because the flavors came together and were delicate. That is what I look for in Italian Dishes, delicate flavor. I enjoyed the dish so much that I initial misgivings faded away.
The Lovely Young Lady who owns the place came by and inquired whether or not We enjoyed our meals, a nice touch.
I would not hesitate to dine here again.

From the moment I walked in, I knew that I would be back many many times in the future. In fact I was there three times the first week. Simply put the food is amazing. Made only with freshest ingredients, every dish is prepared expertly with care and love. It’s clear that the chef has one goal in mind… to make the finest food to please each and every customer.
On my first visit, I had one of the lunch specials: an open faced Turkey Club sandwich with bacon (of course), sauteed onions and red peppers covered with delicious cheddar cheese… and let’s not forget that incredible side of potato salad. While we were eating, a server delivered an enormous platter of wings to another table. I knew right then that I’d be back later that day getting my take out order of wings. Be sure to ask about their different sauces for the wings! The wings are flavorful and crispy, but not dried out. I asked for extra sauce (medium) on the side so that I could add it later so the wings wouldn’t get «soggy.» I’ll be trying one of their hotter sauces next time because while flavorful, I want a bit more heat (my personal preference).
I met my wife there for lunch that Friday. She was pressed for time, so I called an hour ahead and asked if they could have our meals ready when we arrived. We were eagerly accommodated. I suspect that this might not be available for larger parties, but we were rewarded with an amazing lunch (Reuben with Chef Chips and a Chicken Sandwich with Sriracha Mayo and Sweet Potato Fries) that was served shortly after being seated.
The service was excellent just like everything else. This is definitely one of my go to restaurants! Anyone that cares about the food they eat and their restaurant experience should put Exit 2 Bar and Grille at the top of their list of places to go. You won’t be disappointed!

The food was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was nice and quaint, but also not pretentious at the same time.
Whatever you get… get on a pretzel roll, or a order of pretzels to start.
I can’t wait to go back.
