    Genuinely a great spot to dine and have a good time while doing it. The food is always great & the quality always on point. The service here makes you feel like family no matter if it’s your first time or your 100th time. We love the high tops and the bartender staff is always on point! But from the host to the busser, everyone makes you feel welcomed & taken care of. We always enjoy our visit!

    Tried Federal American Grill for the first time for brunch. Service, decor, coffee and ambience were outstanding. The food was average. I think I want to try this restaurant for lunch or dinner and believe the food will be better.

    Food was good, service not so much. Not really bad, just didn’t have a great waiter I think. Portion was small for the price.

We also appreciate your input on the portion sizes and will certainly take it into consideration.

    I had the 16oz Ribeye. I was not impressed. when you pay $52 for a steak, you expect it will be delicious. I can cook a steak that well and I can't cook steak. If you are not going to have a steak you will probably enjoy the experience, but if you are after a good steak, pass this place up.
    The Federal Grill - The WoodlandsResponded on November 16, 2024
    Hi Scott, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear that the 16oz Ribeye didn’t meet your expectations, especially given the price. We understand that a great steak is a key part of the experience, and we truly apologize that it didn’t deliver for you. We take all feedback seriously and will review our steak preparation to ensure it meets the high standards we aim for. We appreciate you giving us the chance to serve you, and we hope you might consider visiting us again to try other dishes that could better suit your taste.
