    Exterior of food hall
    Tiffany Y.

    Federal Galley is a food hall that is located in NOVA Place on the North Side, has four restaurants and a full bar, and serves lunch and dinner. Current restaurants include TS Cafe, Beef Graffiti, Mijo, and Given to Fly. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available. Customers sit at a table of their choosing and scan a QR code on the table to order their foods and drinks. Employees from each business bring the foods and drinks to the table. When customers are done eating, employees clean the table. My husband and I ate one dinner here. The employees from the kitchens promptly and politely served us. Here are my ratings for what we ate: Beef Graffiti's Smashie burger - 4 stars - This burger was not greasy, and its accompanying fries were not soggy. They were decent. Mijo's Street Taco Entree - 4 stars - We ordered three flavors of tacos: Al Pastor with Pineapple (which my husband described as "good" and "best"), Carne Asada, and Shrimp. The sides were plain rice and beans. Usually my husband loves rice and beans, but he called these ones "interesting" and "bad." TS Cafe's Greek Salad - 4 stars - This salad contained fresh, tasty ingredients. The total price for these foods plus a soda and water was about $61.

    Love the concept of Federal Galley! It's a great place to hang out, get some good eats, and have a drink. Everytime I go, the food is quick. My favorite kitchen there is Mijo!

    We go here often but I wanted to mention that I was there last Sunday and had a DELICIOUS brunch. I typically think of it as a dinner venue but it was great. The atmosphere is quite chill. You just grab a table, order on an app (QR code), and wait for your food to be delivered..

    Federal Galley provides a relaxed atmosphere, offering both indoor and outdoor seating with a great selection of food and drinks. We took a chance on Federal Galley because it was walking distance from our Airbnb. When we arrived, we were surprised to see how many available tables there were. It may have been less busy due to the Savannah Bananas being in town. There are different kitchens throughout the venue and a big bar in the center. I ordered a Buffalo Cauliflower Hoagie from TS Cafe. After we scanned the QR and paid, it was brought out to our table by one of the employees. He eventually walked back over with a small cup of ranch because he forgot to drizzle it on top of my hoagie. The cauliflower was crispy, seasoned perfectly and the sauce wasn't too spicy. The cucumber slices were a nice touch. Fries were hot and thin. Just how I like them. I ordered a beer separately from the bar. I saw a bunch of folks in the area walking their dogs, going for a run, and even what appeared to be a first date happening here. It was refreshing to enjoy dinner at Federal Galley and it also seems like it would be the best spot for Happy Hour.

    Always a good place to grab a casual meal, drinks with friends, or try a little bit of everything. Service is usually pretty quick and it's great to try a variety of restaurants in one stop.

    Came on a Wednesday night with a group of 13, which was great as each person could choose what type of food they wanted and then bar was serving for those who wanted to drink. Great space with lots of large tables for groups or communal dining. There are water stations so you can grab a bottle of water, glasses and silverware for your table. Lots of delicious food options. We walked over from the Priory, so I'm not sure about the parking situation. Great place and all the food looked good.

    We stopped by at 4:30pm on Friday and were able to claim a large table for all our friends. I like the convenience of ordering via QR code. They bring you whatever food or drinks you order to your table and you get your own water, cupcakes, napkins, and utensils. Their happy hour is 4:30-6:30 on weekdays and the half off cocktails portion is an absolute steal. They also have some happy hour food specials at certain places and they do have kids meals. It's nice that they have four concepts in one place so everyone can find something they want to eat. The only critique I have is that it can take a minute for your cocktails to come out. It was also very strange that we got a round of drinks and then when we ordered a second round someone asked us all to see our IDs even though it was a little too late at that point.

    Federal Galley is such a cute little spot. They have a great beer list! I wish they had a few healthier options for food, so I elected to not eat there but the food my friends ordered looked great! You don't interact with the service much, but when you do they are very kind and accommodating!

    The food was good/ service was quick and I loved all the different setting plus outside play area for kids. Two of the food stalls were vacant hopefully new restaurants will arrive soon.

    Blackened chicken and broccoli pasta.... really good!

    Stopped by for lunch while having a meeting at Nova Place. Was plenty of seating and we easily found a good table for our group. Ordering was easy via the QR codes and service was pretty fast. I tried the Blackened chicken and broccoli pasta from TS Cafe and was really pleased. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the sauce was awesome. All in all a great experience.

    So bummed out about Sokah. They are making good money but had the need to manipulate the bill for $7 more dollars. The fix it up fries were "ok" at best. Grouper was very, very fishy. Coconut rice was very tasty. Not a big deal but it's the point of the thing. The service and drinks at Cocktails were amazing. Relaxed atmosphere and very inviting.

    This is a great spot to chill and grab a drink. If it was warmer, I'd have taken my dog. They make it so easy to order with QR codes on the tables. The service was great being that it's not a restaurant and each sub-restaurant has its own staff run the food. I ordered from Given to Fly. I got the Nobu Chicken Tenders and they were so delicious. I highly recommend! I ordered two beers bc it was happy hour and almost over, the wait for either was normal and not overly long. It's a definite spot to add to your after work list!

    A place like the federal galley is such a good spot for work gatherings. A variety of options and a perfect environment for socializing and not being too structured. Our group sat outside and there was enough space for about 20 of us to socialize at 2 long tables. The service was efficient and kind and the eats yummy. Will definitely be back for larger group gatherings that doesn't need to be too complicated. Parking is kind of challenging but we were lucky enough to get street parking where others in our group had to park a good ways away in a garage. Just allow time to drive around if you have goals for nearby street parking.

    LOVED our dinner at this place…read more We came here for dinner while visiting Pittsburgh. The first thing that struck me was the interior decor. Very industrial and moody with an open kitchen/preparation area that adds some intrigue. I do like to see the happenings of what's going on as someone with zero attention span. Service was excellent. George was fantastic. He kept a close eye on us without being overbearing. He anticipated what we might need so we didn't spend one second waiting to order anything. The menu is not endless or overwhelming which, presumably, allows them to focus on the items that are listed. I have decision panic so it was kinda nice to have less things to choose from. They asked if there were any allergies or dietary restrictions so I mentioned my vegetarianism. George went through the menu and pointed out the vegetarian options including what seems like it is vegetarian but isn't. They had TWO vegetarian entree options and fortunately the non-mushroom one was something I probably would have ordered anyway: pesto with walnuts, arugula, and a very generous amount of grated cheese. To start, I ordered the Brussels sprouts whichc I was warned had fish sauce. This was fine but nothing that blew me away. GF, on the other hand, loved this. GF ordered the wedge which was brought to our attention as vegetarian with the bacon on the side, which was her request. We ended up sharing both, a large part of that was because hers came out first and I couldn't wait but I'm so glad because the wege was FANTASTIC. The dressing? holy fuck pure ecastasy. The wedge was more like a filet shape which was much easier to eat. Who decided on the wedge shape anyway? The lettuce was so fresh and crisp and went wonderfully with that orgasmic dressing and breadcrumbs. Back to my pasta. Also delectable. Noodles were al dente. The sauce was creamy and packed that pesto umami flavor. The walnuts were a really nice contrast in texture. Everything about it absolutely fucking slapped. GF ordered the mushroom entree which came served on a bed of barley which, don't mind if I do, had a few forkfuls to "sample" for "my review". Again, so fucking good. Because it was my birthday, George provided a dessert (yuzu maybe?) that was served inside a meringue-esque igloo, creamy perfect balance of sweet and tart custard with some berry business underneath. Wonderful. I almost forgot their spectacular cocktails! Holy shit, literally they have a CORN CHIP cocktail that I could not pass up. It comes with two massive cornchips on top of a flavored foam. When you bring the glass up to sip, the cornchips are right in front of your nose and their aroma sets the stage for the drink which was STRONG. It wasn't as corn chip forward as I expected but I understand that flavor is probaly hard to create. For my second drink, I ordered the blue one which was refreshing, light, and really good. GF ordered a spritz which was gorgeous "it was good". For second round, I picked out some uranium thing that was very cucumbery, GF says, "it was good". I just read it outloud to her. "it's true!" Fantastic meal at a great place.

    BEST PITTSBURGH WING…read more We were absolutely not expecting this and still can't believe it. We didn't have major expectations but hoped it would be at least a top 5 wing and average meal. It was beyond that The French onion soup we saw online and everyone seemed to enjoy that. We're whores for it so had to get. I like mine a tad bit salty which this was and PACKED with onion chunks and breaded leeks on top. It was impossible to get a spoon fully without any inclusions. My new favorite The Tavern Burger. I'm coming fresh off 9 years without 5 Guys (elite) and this rocked me harder than that. This isn't a stupid smash burger. We got a juicy COOKED PERFECT RARE 8oz patty, topped with sautéed onions, and bacon that isn't crisped to smithereens. I like my bacon medium rare and that's exactly what I got. Then covered in one of the craziest sauces I have ever had, their gorgonzola cream. I could drink that by the gallon The wings.... I have never had a wing itself cooked more perfect in my life. The smoke and meatiness on them was so nailed that I could get 2 dozen plain and still have the same reaction. We got the Buffalo Garlic and Dry Cajun Ranch. These wings don't need drenched in sauce by any means or it would honestly ruin it. The buffalo doesn't ned to be creamy either. Perfect amount of sauce to cheese ration. The dry cajun ranch was a fucking knockout. For how great the wing is I would love to see more dry season options with them Cam got a Tavern Dip. I hate dips. I loved the shaved ribeye on it and horseradish, but I have never been an Au Jus man. Would 100000% eat it without the au jus Then the fries. Always team psoriasis through and through. Not sure if I'm coming off the Five Guys high but their cajun boardwalk style are even better. Get some spicy honey aioli to dip them in. Truly just shocked at how amazing this place is. Right over the bridge and cannot recommend enough going here before a game and walking over. Great spot right before, after and during sports. Very high Pittsburgh atmosphere going on I will be back so many times and absolutely worth going Downtown for

I went with the recommendation of the wings and got the Cajun seasoning. They were so good that I regretted asking for blue cheese for dipping. Then I added a side of Brussels sprouts and no hyperbole; these were the best I've ever had! I practically licked the bowl after.

The octopus wasn't on the menu but after checking with our waitress, they still had a few. We got both this one and then queso!
