great for family and friends. The bar has a nice selection. I would definitely come back again.

My friends and I walked by this place and loved the decor from the outside. Went in, ordered a Manhattan and their own Electric Daisy drinks and enjoyed the decoration. Service was quick and easy to order from on a Sat evening. read more

Our first time here. The staff was nice. The place was clean & the food was pretty good. Went online & reserved a table. Easy process. My only negative part is that my partner got there before me & when I got there (like 5 minutes after he did) 10 minutes went by & no one had come to get my drink order & we had to waive someone down. This was at 4 o'clock, it wasn't super busy & I felt 10 minutes was ample amount of time but after we got a server to our table, she was really nice. I ordered the blueberry lemon drop drink & it was the perfect amount of sweet & tangy The Carne Asada fries are pretty good. Seasoned perfect. Guacamole was delicious. My partner got the shrimp skewers with Mashed potatoes & mixed veggies (carrots & zucchini) He Said it was delicious. 10 huge prawns. The garlic sauce on the side was a nice touch. I got the shrimp pasta with garlic bread. So good! Garlic bread was perfect. Sauce was amazing. Bread pudding was ok. It did come with caramel drizzle but I opted out. Nice cinnamon flavor. Big scoop of ice cream on top. Staff was nice. Bathrooms were clean. We'll definitely be coming back read more

Amazing all around. My wife and I went here for a rare date night and were blown away. Our server was attentive and pleasant and the whole establishment had a great, inviting vibe. The cocktails were fantastic. I got the smoke show old fashioned and she got the defendent. We highly recommend both. The menu is small and that suits me fine. I am of the mindset that less items done better beats more items any day of the week We started with what may be the best fried calamari I've ever had. Breading was consistent and not too heavy and the squid was cooked well without being rubbery. For dinner, I got the shrimp skewers and she got the salmon. Both were cooked PERFECTLY. The salmon in particular was melt in your mouth tender. Sides were also amazing. Wild rice was flavourful and the side veggies were crisp without being raw. Good food, good people, good drinks, good price. You can't beat it. We will be back. read more

Love the vibe & atmosphere. If someone took you here blindfolded, you might assume you're in a hipster/on trend spot in the Bay Area, but No! You are in downtown Stockton and this place is great. Reservation made through Open Table. From entering to leaving the staff was very nice. They could be a tad more attentive, but these days they could have been running short staff - the 2021 challenge. I read more

FED - Salmon - cooked perfectly - New American Near Me - Stockton, California

My first time going to Fed restaurant was a horrible experience. The service was terrible I ordered a "country fried steak " Biscuit and gravy. I ended up getting a Thick ass hamburger patty fried in flour, I told the waitress this was not a "Country Fried Steak"she told me it was. I tried it and the middle of the hamburger fried steak whatever it was was raw made my stomach hurt, I told the manager about it she offered me a 5$ discount I told her i'll pay for the food so I can leave i'll pulled out $40 to pay, she told me that the other people that was there didn't pay their taxes m, what I didn't understand was she gave everybody a receipt that paid for the food and they left. I told her I was not paying for anybody else's food or taxes but me and my pregnant daughters, At that point she got mad and I was threatened with the police she said she was going to call the police if I didn't pay there taxes, I told her to call the police and I sit down at the bar and started watching the 49er football game until the offices arrived. When she called I overheard her tell the dispatcher that she have a big black male in her restaurant being belligerent and refused to pay. I already tried to pay for our food me and my pregnant daughter food only. There was a family sitting 5 feet from me never heard me raise my voice or be belligerent.. so once the officers arrive she was mad when they told her she cannot make me pay for somebody else's food or Texas so I pay for my food and left "As a member of the black community I would never support a business that racially profiled people for no reason at all we as black folks cannot support businesses that hire racist people" read more

My wife and I walked into this place around lunch time on a weekday. There was a podium with a sign that said please wait to be seated. So we waited. A lot. We stood at that podium for at least 5 minutes with the employees walking past us repeatedly and never saying anything to us. I swear they were deliberately avoiding any eye contact with us. Eventually one of them said they would be right with us. And then we waited another 10 minutes. My wife finally had to say something to get their attention. She asked if they could seat a party of 2. Keep in mind there were a LOT of empty tables. The employee said she was sorry but they had a large group coming in. I guess nobody felt it necessary to tell us we weren't going to be helped. The employee said we would be waiting no matter what and thought we weren't understanding enough. So we left. Not going back. All we wanted was some acknowledgment. We wasted 15 minutes of my wife's lunch hour standing there. How's the food? No idea. Wish I could tell you. read more

Went for lunch with 6 other people. We were seated quickly, as it was not packed. It was nearly 10 minutes before our drink orders were taken. After we received our drinks, we ordered our food. We were there for nearly an hour & only 1 person at our table received their food. In the meantime, people who arrived after us received their food. We were then told that the hold up was after making burgers for another group that had arrived right before us, they were out & had to pull frozen meat. For a restaurant so close to the courthouse, they were very ill-prepared. It was also obvious that our server was inexperienced, as in he doesn't usually do that job. We ended up having to tell him we needed our food to go because we had to get back to the courthouse. Overall, it was a horrible experience & we will not be going there again. read more

Classy atmosphere, great looking menu, good selection behind the bar, and their prices are modest compared to similar places I've seen. Their honey habanero wings are some of the best wings I've ever had. They have a good balance of sweet and spicy and each bite comes with a crisp that can fix a bad day. This place deserves more recognition amongst the locals and I would recommend it to anybody who's visiting. read more

The good news: if you have jury duty, this place is just across the street and has a clean, welcoming, well-maintained atmosphere. There's a simple menu for lunch, but, should be something for everyone, including the veggie wrap for vegetarians. Servers were nice and welcoming. No major issues with the food. It was edible and no gastrointestinal disasters. So, a safe choice in food to be sure. Another gold star in my book is a restaurant that still brings you a bottle of ketchup. I'm so over places that bring you a little tiny dish of it. I am here to DEMOLISH some fries and ketchup so, thank you for humoring me. The bad news: As a party of one, I sat at the bar. I was hoping to pop my laptop open and do some work during the court's 90 minute lunch break...which was when I realized you can't pull the bar stools up all the way to the bar because of the way the foot rest is built out. This pushes your seat about two feet away from the bar by the time you are trying to reach it. This was super inconvenient. And, when the food came, it was still super awkward leaning so far over. Also, the bar has a lifted edge that is roughly three to four inches tall. Forget resting your hands or elbows on it. It became immediately clear the laptop situation was a no go. The veggie wrap is served with a side of Caesar dressing. Now... I'm going to look past the fact that most Caesar dressing is made with anchovies and is, thus, not vegetarian. Maybe they make theirs in house and it's a plant based version. I was sufficiently hungry I was willing to go with the don't ask, don't tell policy. But, what was supper unappealing was the watery consistency of the dressing. No thickness or substance at all and super light on taste. My last complaint is petty, but my own personal vendetta. The wrap doesn't come with fries. I don't think any of the lunch items do. Not only irs this feel unAmerican to me, it ends up costing a lot more and they bring you an appetizer sized plate of fries. I'm there by myself... I can't eat that many fries (and I LOVE fries). So, I only ate half, which feels wasteful. read more

Went back had drinks and an appetizer. The bacon cheese fries were not good! Neither was our drinks. We left. Not sure if it was just that day but it was not the experience I was expecting. The first time I went the food was top notch and so were the drinks read more

I've been here three times and every time they did not disappoint. Service is very good. I have tried the salmon dish, the filet mignon dish, and the creamy mushroom chicken dish all were great. Recently we went I had the creamy mushroom chicken my friend had the ribeye. We also tried the wings and the fried raviolis. We loved the gummy bear shots omg so good! This is definitely a spot me and my friend enjoy coming to and will continue to come to. Everyone's tastebuds are different so I suggest you give it a try and make your own opinion. read more

Overall a great experience. Server (Vanessa) was friendly and helpful from first greeting. She kept drinks filled and checked in regularly. We were looking for a quick meal so we ordered Nacho fries, side salad and the FED burger to share. All were flavorful and fresh. Burger was cooked perfectly to request of medium well and was still juicy! Fries were yummy and nacho sauce tasted homemade. We will definitely come back when in the area. We want to try the salmon and mushroom chicken! (Table next to ours ordered them and they looked/smelled delicious!) Environment- slightly darkened room with candles on table, tv screens over the bar and overall Pleasant vibe. Several people were meeting for drinks but restaurant is still family friendly. There were families with kids celebrating special occasions. Hope to go back soon! read more

Fed is a great addition to the downtown food scene! Conveniently located near a movie theater where dinner and a movie would be a nice evening out on the town. The rustic-chic interior with the exposed brick wall and black leather seating were quite impressive. Several tables lined the interior with the bar being the main focus of the room. The menu is small but thoughtful. Their Salmon topped with capers had the perfect crispy skin while the meat was buttery and full of flavors. Ribeye is our favorite cut and this one did not disappoint. The meat was tender and the charred edges gave it a nice smoky flavor. Vegetable medleys were perfectly seasoned with a nice bite to it and the roasted garlic mashed was delightful. Both dishes came with generous portions. Overall a wonderful dining experience with friendly and efficient service. It was quite lively at the bar this evening. Most patrons were there for drinks and socializing. With whimsical drinks like the "Jolly Rancherita" and "Clean AF" to the refreshing twist of the "Fresh Fruit Mojito" among many classic offerings- - I can see why it would be a great place to have a drink and enjoy some "Bar Bites" while catching up with friends. If you're looking for a place to unwind after a long day of work or an evening out for dinner, this would it. read more

Here's the deal, I bought a $50 gift certificate from cat country on one of their Friday specials. Finally went to get there today, which is Thursday, May 1 at about 2 o'clock. Walked in it and it was pretty empty. There was a young girl with long long waist length brown hair, walking around talking on her personal cell phone. She Did not even look at us. When she finally did glance, she just glanced and walked away. We finally ended up asking that girl if there was any one around to help us. She said I clocked out. So apparently she's not a very good employee. She's actually horrible. You need to reconsider who you are hiring because she does not represent your service very well at all. Unfortunately, I will be back because I did spend $25 for the gift certificate, but it was a very, very, very bad first impression. You need to teach your employees that even if they clocked out and they're standing around where customers come in either get out or find us someone to help us. She needs some work. However, it looks really cute inside too bad. We never got help to be able to check it out. I'm sorry this is just not acceptable especially in this day and age. When you people wanna make money it ain't the way to do it. read more

The drinks are an experience for sure and if you ask for extra sauce the food is good as well. The waitresses are absolutely jewels, so friendly and accommodating. The ambience is great as long as you get there before night life hours. Once nightlife starts they kick everybody out of the tables unless you purchase VIP. The bar fills up fast so you end up just standing in odd places. They have photographers and show girls so it gets pretty rowdy. However the music is amazing, so I personally prefer restaurant hours but if you're looking for a lounge experience I recommend coming for night life. If you want a nice place to eat and enjoy nice cocktail then make sure you get there before nightlife hours (around 10 I think) read more

FED - The FED Burger and fries. It is excellent! - New American Near Me - Stockton, California

Quick Review: Solid spot downtown for drinks and food. + they make solid cocktails. Not the best in town IMO but I wouldn't second guess coming here either. + probably the best bourbon selections around here. Beer selection is good too. + no upcharge for their "artesian" stamped ice like some places do. + service has always been nice and friendly +/- FED burger is nice and juicy. It's worth ordering if you're hungry but I make so many myself I always compare burgers to if I'd skip cooking my own for it. Lol If you're downtown for lunch, dinner, or want a spot to stop before/after a show at the Bob Hope/Regal Cinemas then definitely drop in here. read more

First time here (11/5) and we loved our experience. Ambiance was perfect, nice upbeat music playing in the background, service was on point, food and drinks were delicious! I believe my server was Amina and she was wonderful- tip them well they work hard! This was a Friday night and around 9:30pm a DJ set up and they began removing tables and chairs from the aisle and it became a nice lounge- dancing or just sitting and conversing while listening to the music. Definitely will be visiting again. read more

I do not recommend this restaurant at all. We had a group of eight and had to put down a 100.00 deposit. We arrived ordered and we had told the waiter we had theater tickets. Our food took 45 minutes and the restaurant wasn't that full. We had to rush to eat. Got the bill and they had already took their tip and gave me back $2.00 out of my )100 dollar deposit ! The meal was for only 3 people totaling $ 60.00, however they never gave us a receipt. Something very fishy is going on there, and it's not the seafood! Never again will I go or recommend the FEDS!!' read more

While driving through the city of Stockton, I ran into this place in the heart of the Downtown! I must say, the area was different than the regular shopping mall strip or even a single standing restaurant building. I found easy parking next door in the garage (easy access & good rates). I entered this place and thought damn this is a bar and thought shoot there food is probably just basic. We sat at the bar and we were over whelmed at the alcohol selection that they carry! So much to choose from! I'm a beer guy and jack and coke kinda guy, but I got intrigued with the mojito. We got the watermelon and black berry ones. Well let me tell u, they were super good & freshly made to order. I was amazing to see how they make them from start to finish. On to the food- we ordered a few things because we couldn't decide on we wanted. We got the Ribeye steak, FED burger and Chicken sandwich! The steak was cooked just right, medium for me, juicy AF and a ton of flavor! No sauce needed. The FED burger was super thick and all the fresh veggies were on point. They toast the bun just right. The chicken sandwich has so much flavor and is crispy in all the right places & those pickles are so good. We topped it off with the jolly rancherita drink , must try! We skipped dessert but will definitely be back!!! Job well done here at the "FED" read more

I went to FED on a whim for a friend's birthday celebration. Luckily, they were having a soft opening that night. My wife was doing research on the different drink option they had on Instagram just to prepare herself. The place was empty aside from two tables when we first arrived. After talking with the owner, he stated that they have not officially opened yet. They had a great assortment of beer offering both bottle, and drafts. I was won over with the Belching Beaver Phantom Bride. Unfortunately, they did not have the full menu available that night, but we were content with the Asada fires and mozzarella sticks. Both plates were more than enough for a party of 6. The mozzarella stick were much larger than expected, but I wasn't about to complain. The main course was great a well, I settled on the BBQ tri-tip and it hit the spot with a good portion of meat covered in BBQ sauce. Toward the end of the night we wanted to try more of the full bar and specialty drinks. I recommend the Smoke Show, that drink was so smooth even my wife had a healthy portion of my drink. We even ventured to the Pendleton Reserve. All in all, it was a great night and I can't wait to go back to try it again. They even boast about the upcoming brunches and comedy show. read more

This is an excellent destination for lunch in downtown Stockton. It's walking distance from the parking garage downtown, the Courthouse, movie theater, Bob Hope Theater, and even Weber Point. I had the most delicious and filling burrito bowl for lunch along with a refreshing cocktail.

The cocktail was well crafted. The music was great. Definitely a must try for anyone downtown. read more

First time here and it wasn't bad! Definitely a spot to check out. We had reservations, we called them when one person couldn't make it and they changed our time to 30mins after. . . No biggy. There was another party there as well just to put it out there. The drink was good, I don't like my drink strong and this drink had little alcohol but was tasty. Lol I barely tasted the alcohol but if you like the alcohol this is probably not for you. The pasta was delicious! I just didn't the fresh tomatoes in it. It wasn't for me. The smothered chicken was good but the meat was over cooked. It isn't over cooked for everyone though. Another person at our table ordered it and theirs wasn't over cooked. What I didn't understand was when we finished order the server told us our order would be placed on hold BC the other party is ordering their food... that doesn't make sense at all. So we waited some time for our food. Some beers should be able to be purchased in a pitcher. Overall, I'd come here again. The food was good, my drink was good. The service wasn't bad. read more

Met a friend for dinner on a Friday night. I came in early and had a drink at the bar. The bartender was attentive and friendly. The music was nice, I really enjoyed the upbeat tempo. Once my friend got there, we got seated. There wasn't a wait. We ordered the cauliflower wings, smothered chicken, and shrimp skewers. The cauliflower wings were really tasty and addictive. Served with ranch and blue cheese dressings. Both dips were good. Now for the main courses. My friend and I split both plates. The smothered chicken was overly salty to the extent that I barely ate it. My friend liked it with the mashed potatoes. The shrimp skewers were UNDERCOOKED, my friend took a bite and spit it out. When we sent it back to the kitchen, they put those same skewers back on the grill and re-served it. They didn't even add another shrimp to replace the one that my friend spit out. It was off putting, so we asked the server to take it off of the tab (which he did, thankfully). We both had the mixed veggie side (grilled carrots and zucchini). The zucchini was very under cooked with a hard crunch. I had a side salad with ranch. I took a few bites. After that the lettuce tasted and was texturally dirty, noticeably! I was super disappointed. I wanted to love this place. I got the spicy chicken sandwich and fries on a DoorDash order previously. The food was pretty delicious. Maybe it was an off night. I would definitely come here for a drink and snack from the bar bites menu. The bar was comfortable and it felt like I could stop by anytime for a good cocktail. I'll update my review next time I pop into Fed. read more
