   Always a great experience at Federal! It’s perfect for a quick business lunch. I had a wonderful pecan crusted chicken salad and my colleague had a nice pasta dish! Both were great and more than enough for lunch! The staff is fantastic! The best menu in Houston!

   Reserved a table to celebrate my birthday with close group of friends. We had the best experience. From the food to the service, 10/10 Can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu!

   Went on a Monday night to Federal Grille and the service was fantastic. Food was good as always and the restaurant was not super busy so the noise level was great for conversation.

   The food and service were excellent. Loved the presentation of pork belly dish with a dome filled with delicious smelling smoke.

   We had a great birthday dinner at Federal Grill. Our waiter was on point and the drinks and food were fantastic. I had their famous meat loaf which lived up to its reputation. My daughter really enjoyed the scallops. We started off with the cheeseburger egg rolls which never disappoint. Save room for the half baked cookie desert! Overall...a fun and delicious night out...

   We enjoyed our visit and the food was very good. The complimentary biscuits are soooo good and I loved the shrimp & grits! Our only disappointment was the bar selection. They advertise as a whiskey bar, and I was excited to bring my husband here since he is a bourbon enthusiast, but many of the allocated bourbons on the menu were not in stock - our primary reason for choosing this location. I rate this visit 4/5 due to disappointing bar inventory.

   Thank you for sharing your experience, Shalonda. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food, especially the shrimp & grits and complimentary biscuits!

We’ll work on improving our bar inventory to ensure we can meet expectations for bourbon enthusiasts like your husband. We hope to welcome you back soon for another enjoyable visit!

   This was our first time eating here and it was fantastic! The atmosphere was very friendly. Our waitress,Kara S, always checked in on us to make sure we were satisfied and gave us recommendations on what to get. Food, drinks, and just everything was amazing! 10/10 would recommend to everyone!

   The food was okay, we’re not too pleased about the amount we paid for the food we got (we had the pre set menu with automatic gratuity) But the ambience and service was great overall
