The Federal

The veggie sliders are the best veggie burgers I've had in the triangle ????

the chicken liver pate is arguably the best new addition on the menu; the whole grain mustard that accompanies it has a nice kick.. if you are hungry but not too hungry, this is a great dish to go for

If you look at the bottom of the menu you will see the affordable ($6) half sandwich and soup lunch special . I just gave that a try. All good. Not crowded . Attentive service. Adding to my rotation.

Closed on a weekday at noon, with no hour information on either the building, website, or voicemail other than a sign saying "lunch dinner and drink 7 days," which is obviously not true!

Falafel pita was one of the best I have ever had! Everyone's food was amazing. You can't go wrong!!

The menu changes up from time to time but, rest assured, they always plate a delicious dish!

Specials are the way to go though the fed burger , smoked salmon sandwich , stuffed mushrooms , and baked Brie are also amazing

The pork is excellent, I recommend the sandwich or the nachos with it added

Great spot. Come see me at the bar !!

Sit at the bar , order the fries and grab a beer .

Chicken and waffles are a must for weekend brunch !

Good selection of beers on tap

Great food at incredibly reasonable prices. Try the veggie sliders with a pint of your favorite- there are a ton of beers on tap to quench your thirst.

LOVE the Beer Braised Pork Nachos . Plenty to share.

NO MORE NACOS! In a move that I can only describe as suicidal, The Federal has taken nachos off the menu .

Shrimp Po Boy was on point tonight

Always hear the pixies when I am here. Love the music selection and awesome food.

Their burgers are works of tasty art !!

Friendly staff and dog-friendly patio .

Try the pumpking ale , delicious for fall. Plus, pretty bar tenders don't hurt!

Pork sandwich and garlic fries are excellent.

Oyster Caesar is solid but nothing special. Their sandwiches look amazing.

AMAZING food. The weekday lunch special is phenomenal - the leek & potato soup is awesome.

Great atmosphere and the hostess is very nice.
