Our menus are all about bold, seasonal flavors, using ingredients from the best local farmers, ranchers, and growers—because fresh just hits different.

I have heard great things about Federal American Grill so I decided to have a birthday celebration dinner. The price of the food was much higher than the quality. I don’t mind paying more if the food is absolutely amazing but it was just okay, nothing spectacular.
