Federal Galley

Went at 9:30pm on Friday. Was a late dinner - only few tables filled (probably because Karnival going on nearby). This was close to my hotel. Enjoyed a beer (Drinky and the Brain) and beef quesadilla! My kid ate birra tacos which was also good! The service was fast and good. Easy and quick to order from table directly (via smartphone).

Nice beer garden and food choices. Light foods, burgers, Mexican and chicken counter services. Walking distance from the National Aviary. We had a good lunch, portions were big.

If you’re looking for the best happy hour in Pittsburgh, Federal Galley is a strong contender. Half-price beers with a large selection and half-price cocktails. Not just your average $4 tail with a mixer… well-made, thoughtful drinks that make the happy hour price look like highway robbery. Recommend the Hulk Smash and espresso martini. You are able to order drinks remotely from the tables which is really nice if bar lines are wild. We went on a Thursday afternoon and it was lively, but not packed. Live music and plenty of outdoor seating as well. The only downside to this place is location as it’s in a business park area without much else around. Regardless, the drinks are great and the price really can’t be beat. Also, grab the cheesy halusky from Beef Graffiti.

This spot is perfect for groups tons of food options with something for everyone, plus a great selection of drinks. I tried Mijo’s birria tacos and they were bursting with flavor and color. Highly recommend!

I thought this was a cool concept. The four different menus had more than enough for everyone to choose from and it was easy to order. A guy was going around cleaning the tables as soon as people got up. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time and everyone liked what they ordered. We will definitely go back.

Triple S Cafe!!! Steve, Thanks for being a caring business owner. You cared for me and my wife who has dietary needs due to stage 4 cancer that precludes her from eating basic/ general cuisine recipes in the area. You made breakfast special for her and did so with great generosity! I am eternally grateful, what a sweet and gracious gift to her and me vicariously. BTW, on the fly the breakfast was fantastic!!! To those wanting to support such a business owner, just do it!!! He’s certainly deserving! I know I will eat there myself, and from the menu, as my wife continues her cancer treatment at the near by hospital. To be frank, he did what even the hospital doesn’t do. Which was care enough to make something that is truly healthy for someone, like my wife, who wants not to feed the cancer through her diet! Well done!

This is great, sort of hidden gem to get some food, for one there are many different places to grab food in here and a good selection of food and drinks. There is also plenty of seating and clean bathrooms. I also like they have an outdoor seating area although I wish it was covered. We came here on a sunny day and the temp outside was super nice but we got demolished by the sun as there is zero shade. Accessibility is also an issue, to get here the quickest way is up a giant flight of steps so if you got accessibility challanges there isn't an obvious way to get to this level that I could see.

Easy to get to with plenty of parking. Its literally on top of a parking garage. Easy to get to. Seems to be out in a pretty quiet part of Pittsburgh. The beer and drink selection is great and the food options are many. Highly recommend, especially with kids.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I visited this space earlier today to try a beer while walking my dog. I am well aware that dogs aren't allowed inside most establishments with food, so I intended to order and have my drink outside. While waiting to order a woman approached me and stood so close to me that she was stepping on my toes. Now again, I completely understand wanting to convey the idea that I can't have my drink indoors with my dog, but considering the abundance of chairs outside and the fact that its the season where a host of highly contagious viruses are in full force...maybe give me a few inches if not feet of space while you yell at me that I can't have my dog indoors? I kindly told this woman that I simply wanted to order and I would gladly take my drink outside. I'm not begging that this space be dog friendly, but I am begging PLEASE maybe stand an appropriate distance from people? Being so close reads as aggressive. That being said, I hope to visit again. I'll definitely order ahead online to save having any toes stepped on.

The atmosphere was lovely for a Friday night. I got 3 different kinds of tacos and they were good, but the pork one was the best. I love how you can order on the app and the food is brought out to you. I also like that you have access to water and utensils as needed on the little cart near the entrance.

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.

A good choice of grub and drink, well worth exploring if you're in the area! Some creative choices that you won't find at many stand alone restaurants.

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.

The Federal Galley food hall in Novo Place is a great weekend lunch spot. I liked the various options for food and the indoor/outdoor options for dining. My wife and I enjoyed the food from Mijo before we walked over to the National Aviary. They also have a full bar for those looking for the full brunch or nightlife experience. We'll definitely be stopping by this summer before our North Shore events.

This place is one of my favorite food halls. I love how they offer delicious food options from local businesses. I've been here several times with my girlfriend and I really enjoy the Buffalo Seitan sandwich from Given to Fly. It's not easy finding seitan meals in the city so I love that there is a chicken alternative for vegetarians! Aisha is a big fan of Sokah which is a Caribbean BBQ restaurant. There is also a bar that has so many specialty cocktails and beer. Each restaurant also has brunch options on the weekends so be sure to check this place out either for dinner or brunch! Their outdoor seating is great in the summer time especially since they have live music every week :)

Stopped by Federal Galley today. Andrew had the Oklahoma onion Smashburger from beef graffiti 4.5 's. Burger was flavorful and the fries were perfectly done. I got the Crab Rangoon Fries from Given To Fly, the presentation was 5 's but the taste was more like 2.5 's. It was mainly cream cheese and lacked crab. It would be a great appetizer to split with 5+ people, I don't recommend it as a meal on its own lol. We are excited to go back and try more here!

The Federal Galley is similar to a lunch hall with multiple options/ store fronts if your group has different needs. It can be intimidating as there's not really direction when you first arrive, but worth the awkward discovery phase! The QR codes at seating is an easy way to place orders from multiple different vendors. The noise level can be uncomfortable depending on the crowd size but not unbearable.

Sixteen fifty for a tiny bowl of food. Pretty tasty, but not worth it. Even in "this economy." (Specific gripe is with the Jamaican place. Not sure about others.)

Good food (pizza) The Jamaican restaurant was also good. The beer selection was awesome. Wonderful staff. Very prompt and friendly all around. Easy way to order from ur table and everything ll be brought to you. Clean, spacious, and fun. Def ll be back.

We went on a Saturday around 2:00 PM for lunch. We ordered the Crab Rangoon fries at Given to Fly. Not worth it at all. The fries were $19, they came out lukewarm. The 'filling' was clumped on top with like an ice cream scooper, not spread around at all. If the fries were hot maybe it would have helped to make the filling edible but that wasn't the case for us. We (two of us) didn't even finish the one order of fries (pictured below). I wouldn't order these ones again if they were $5 instead of $19. We also ordered the PBR (pepperoni banana pepper ricotta) Detroit style pizza. It looked amazing when it came out but was also $19 for 6 slices. Please keep in mind I don't typically order Detroit style pizza so maybe that's fair. It was okay but I probably wouldn't order it again. It's definitely filling though, enough for two people or maybe three if you're not too hungry. It was good other than the ricotta being weirdly whipped which was the only thing I didn't like. I guess to sum up, it was fine. The galley wouldn't be my first choice for a food hall in Pittsburgh but I could understand why locals come here. The general vibe of the galley is super cute though. Great place to just hang out. We didn't drink but the selection looked great and it was cool that they featured mocktails.

Mijo is one of the 4 restaurants located at Federal Galley and it was fantastic! I got the Chopped Salad with shrimp and the shrimp might've been the best shrimp I've ever had. I couldn't believe how flavorful it was. 5 stars and highly recommend!

Went to order takeout food from "Given to Fly" in the federal galley. Food wasn't bad but the "owners" manners were awful. Asked her what was good and or popular and she replied with "everything." That's fine... so I asked for one of the things that was on the menu and she replied by telling me it wasn't on there and that everything they had was on the menu. Needless to say they had stuff on the menu that they couldn't make and were very poor with how they communicated with customers.

First time in Federal Galley today and it was a great experience. Beer: Pretty good drink menu including beer, cider, mixed drinks, and NA beverages. There are also bottles of water that you can take to your table. Food: We ordered from Sokah Caribbean BBQ but there were a few different food options. The pulled pork sandwich that I had was delicious and the fries were good. The side of Mac & cheese was not very good and I wouldn't order that again. Venue: it was very busy but there is plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. The space was very clean. Walked there from where I was staying so not sure how easy it is to get parking nearby. Service: The bartenders were very friendly and the drinks came out right away. We didn't wait very long for the food either and when we were finished the plates and glasses were cleared quickly.

Convenient lunch location with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It's a food hall with three restaurants and a bar. There was a fried chicken place, taco place, and sandwich/salad type place. I went with the taco place (Mijo) and ordered their 3 taco plate (2 chicken tacos and a shrimp taco). The tacos were honestly terrible (but I come from Cali with arguably the best Mexican food in the states). The corn tortillas were super oily and falling apart, and the meats were really dry and they didn't give much. The fixings were practically nonexistent and it was just a really bland, dry, and greasy taco. This place could be so much more with a few more establishments. It's a great space, with pretty mediocre options.

Service is awesome and I loved all of the places except 1 the Mexican food place just had no flavor I was really sad it's normally my favorite but I was disappointed with my street corn as well as my tacos HOWEVER THE JERK CHICKEN AND COLESLAW FROM THE CARIBBEAN PLACE WAS AMAZING tried oxtail for the first time meat was a little fatty if you don't enjoy that or if you do

Amazing set up! Many options and easy to scan the QR code at your table to order. I ordered a cider and it came right away. For food, I ordered loaded nachos and they were very good, large portions.

Went to the Federal Galley after attending an event at the New Hazlett theater (walking distance). Of the four restaurants in the Galley, we went to "Given to Fly". Their specialty is chicken (menu attached). I ordered the 3 tenders tossed in buffalo sauce with small fry for $16 (picture attached). It was incredible. The food was delicious. Some of the best chicken fingers I have ever had. The portion was extremely generous. I highly recommend this restaurant and this dish. If you haven't been here yet or know the concept, this is a food hall with 4 different restaurants and communal seat yourself seating. Not much inside ambiance but nice in the summer when they have the outside open. Come for the food and check out these up and coming future restaurateurs.

I've had good and drinks from all the locations and they were excellent. The staff were very friendly and so was the crowd. It's a definite stop when I'm over that way.

I have been meaning to try out Federal Galley for years now, so I got a group of my girlfriends together and we gave it a shot. All in all, I really enjoyed my time here. The happy hour, on Tuesdays through Fridays from 4:30-6:30, is one of the best around. All beer, wine, and cocktails are half off! With that said, our drinks were delicious! We also loved the different options of restaurants to choose from. Overall, our favorites were the pizza place and the soft pretzel. There is a decent amount of seating as well. Thankfully it was nice out, so we were able to sit outside at one of the picnic tables, but it did get busy. The bartenders were very kind, and each different restaurant's employees were as well. The place as a whole is a super cool concept. I think it's safe to say that we will be back!

Love it here at federal galley. Fun to rotate and try new things. I'll keep updating my post with new pics. I love that they have mimosas on the weekends and they're great ratios if ya know what I mean. Same with their wine pours throughout the week during happy hour This burrito I posts has braised chicken in it and egg and cheese say less. I could only eat half because it was huge but because it was also fire I actually took the other half home, had a nap and ate the rest.

Crab Rangoon fries were delicious!! My husband got a Belgium waffle that he loved! Food was fabulous. Prices were pretty expensive for the amount of food you got. Overall good experience.

We're so lucky to have an incubator like Federal Galley. It's fun seeing what restaurants come there. It's great they're given a shot there first before giving it a shot on their own. My mom and I really enjoyed the shrimp po boy at Salute. You get lots of shrimp and the bread and fries are very good. My husband really likes Mijo. He really liked his pork carnitas tacos. I got the beef Birria taco and thought it was pretty good. My husband and I both really like the chicken place. He loved the chicken tenders and waffle fries. I loved the chicken sandwich. The drinks from the bar are always great too. Next time, I want to try the Detroit Style pizza. You can't go wrong with the options there. Many previous options have gone on to have successful businesses.

Seriously, two stars is being generous. Had I known my BF was taking me to a food hall for lunch I would have stopped him right there but I didn't ask... nothing wrong with the "Hall", employees seemed nice enough and it was clean (as it would be considering I had someone vacuuming right next to me while I was eating). The bar needs a better selection of IPA's but otherwise was fine. We ate at Mijo which was just terrible. The chips and queso... stale chips with canned cheese that for some reason they added a sprinkle of shredded cheese to on top...? Why? So I could have cold unmelted cheese on top of the warmed up canned cheese to make it seem fresh? It did not. Street Tacos... the tortilla was completely soaked in oil and so gross. The grilled chicken? Tasted like frozen grilled checked strips brushed with some sauce and overcooked. The carnitas? Big pile of flavorless mush. The carne asada? Overcooked steak bits. Everything was so overcooked and flavorless. I ate some of the steak bits with the chips because the tortilla was just oozing grease and that's all you could taste - overcooked grease. Absolutely terrible. Also, there was a whole "grilled" jalapeño on the plate which was ice cold... ok if you make them ahead but why wouldn't you warm it? My partner took a bite and it was shocking, lmao. Unless you work over here and need a quick bite (probably pizza is the safest bet) I don't see why anyone would be here. There's nothing else over here and just sitting in a big loud open space with shitty food is not appealing.

Outstanding food fast and friendly Great service Highly recommend when in Pittsburgh

I think this is my favorite place for happy hour and not sure. I love the cafeteria style and food options. The fried chicken spot is so damn good. I've been here twice and both times I've got their food. There's a few bars seating but plenty of tables. Street parking is available nearby but is pretty limited.

Stopped in for lunch. This place is big and has plenty of tables, but it's also a more noisy environment on the inside. We settled on Salute, which does "elevated pub fare." Pricing was decent. I ordered the BLT sandwich with fries, and while the fries were hot, the sandwich was solid, if nothing special. My girlfriend got the gouda burger, which she complained of the aioli of containing too much truffle taste. Did grab a beer at the bar, and they have a nice selection. I went with a Bushel from Urban Artifact, but they also had cocktails and wine. Service was nice with the QR codes, if a little impersonal, and we weren't quite sure of the bussing situation. Overall, I'd say this isn't bad choice if you're in the area, but not worth making a trek to for it alone.

This place was cool, especially as a dinner place after a day at The Children's museum. I wish there were vegan options. We had to pay for parking to eat here and some food was super reasonable and some wasn't. My mother had a grilled cheese and salad and it was huge and delicious looking and only 10 dollars. I had a bowl of pasta for $17 and it didn't come with bread or a salad. It just seemed unnecessarily expensive. I could see how this place would be great feeding a family with different tastes but I don't recommend searching it out if you're not already in the area.

If you have pretty indecisive friends or you can't decide what you wanna eat, this is the perfect spot for you. They got all kinda options from burgers to poke. The seating is first come first serve. We went on a weekday so there was plenty of seats available. We chose to sit outside and it was super chill. You order then they ask you what table you are at to deliver your food. I personally had the poke (spicy tuna) and my friend had sweet and spicy Shrimp. I thought my food was good but my friend said his meal was not sweet or spicy but wait it was too salty. A couple of my other friends had the pizza and burger and they seemed to be happy with it. So again, this is a great place for a variety of taste buds.

Great food hall and full service bar in the North Side. Indoor/outdoor dining available. Four delicious and different food concepts. Salute (elevated pub fair & brunch options), Driven (Detroit style pizza), Mojo (mix of New Mexican & traditional Mexican cuisine) and Given to Fly (fast-casual classic chicken). Lots of seating available - both at the bar and tables. Tried Mojito's tacos & street corn - absolutely delicious! The corn had incredible flavors.

COOL AMBIANCE, OKAY FOOD. Federal Galley is a cool, hip, "food court" style place conveniently located on the north shore right next door to the Children's museum. It has several restaurants (4 total I believe) and a bar. You choose your own seating and pay at the counter and then the food is delivered to your table. I tried the Asian inspired restaurant, and my son tried a bowl of ramen. Unfortunately neither of us were super impressed with the food quality. My bowl - pictured here - while "pretty," was not super tasty. The shrimp tempura tasted like it was pulled out of the freezer and over fried. Definitely not fresh. Personally, I might recommend meeting a friend for a drink here or trying one of the other restaurants in the square, but if you're looking for really good eats, there are so many other great places in the city to try that I would go elsewhere.

Stopped into Federal Gallery around 9:30 on a Saturday evening. I was surprised that it was pretty empty. We sat at the bar. My date ordered the crab Rangoon fries and we each had a drink (a beer for him and a cocktail for me). My date was able to order and pay for his food on his phone. Once the order was ready, they delivered it to him. The space is dope- kind of industrial style. The staff were also so nice and helpful. This was my first time here, but won't be my last! I definitely want to come back and try some of the different food options!

Mushroom bacon Swiss chicken sandwich was large and delicious! Miso ramen was hot and had lots of noodles. Restaurant is clean, accessible. Fun games for kids available. Poke bowls also full of fresh, tasty ingredients!

I love the idea of Federal Galley! We were gathering with friends before a concert on a Saturday night, so it was ideal to find a place where we would not have to wait for seating, and where everyone could get what they wanted. I loved being able to order from my phone, and the service was fairly quick. I had an incredible steak salad with strawberries. My husband loved the pizza that he ordered. Note that it's pretty loud, so conversation can be a challenge, but I would definitely return!

very cool kitchen concept establishment that we stopped at prior to going to an event at PNC (short walk). Love the concept if what they do here - many smaller restaurants in one place - so everyone has a variety. we got lucky and found a table during busy time - scan the bar code at the table to access the menu or walk around to each and look/order. they will bring to you so know ur table number. we got some food from Driven (pizza) and Given to Fly (chicken). Pizza, zucchini and mozzarella halves from Driven and KBBQ tenders from Given to Fly. Everything was really good - so much food we could not finish it all! Note - parking is a little hard to find especially with an event.

Such a thrill to find this place! Great quality food in a casual, unpretentious setting. Sokah, specifically, was amazing. 2 people had the brisket bowl and raved about it! I had the grouper bowl and it was Stellar! Beautiful, flavorful, rich with kick to it and quality ingredients. Lovely piece of fish cooked perfectly to. Good portion of avocado (a favorite) and just enough of the sauce. Full of vegetables in addition to the tender grouper. One kid had the fettuccini from Driven. Loved it. This is high quality food that you don't have to plan ahead and make reservations for. I was so stoked about the grouper dish! Usually we have to go on vacation and travel to places on the water to find this quality of seafood as well as quality of preparation in casual restaurants. You get to pick your table and just pick where you want to order from. Zero pressure. No one is pushing you to order quickly or trying to upsell anything. The 4 different kitchens give you lots of options. Currently it's Sokah, Given to Fly (chicken) , Driven (pizza and pasta) and Mijo (Mexican) -I liked their guacamole. Do you know what else is great? I emailed the Federal Galley contact email and They replied!! Quickly! With clear knowledge about the food and allergens in the different kitchens. How cool is that? A thoughtful, human reply. These folks care about their business and customers. Highly recommend! Eat here!!

This food hall, designed and operated by the same owners of Bakery Square, is beautifully designed and decorated. It is quite a bit smaller than Bakery Square, and for me, at least, seemed to be still finding its footing on the day I visited. One of the restaurants was also in the process of changing over and while a menu was visible -- it noted "coming soon." The food choices here are a bit more limited than in Bakery Square, but this is a convenient place to visit if you are going to the children's museum or if you work in the area. I actually walked to the Deutschtown area around lunch and wasn't impressed with the offerings and availability on a weekday, so try it out here. You probably will find it a relaxing place to be. A bonus is that throughout the summer there are free music performances just outside of the building (where there also is a lot of outdoor seating available) on Thursdays at lunchtime.

Wonderful place to try start up restaurants! This set up offers a nice variety of cuisine from different vendors. On this visit we got House -Fried Shrimp from Salute Pub Fare, and a Traci Detroit style pizza from Driven PGH. Both were delicious. There are also other vendors such as Shaka (oriental options), and cocktails and beverages from the Bar. Great food and pretty fast service for all the made-to-order selections.

Fun ambiance...lots of indoor and outdoor seating. I love that you can order food through a scanned QR code. This is a popular place for happy hour. I don't drink alcohol, but when I go I always ask the bartender for a mocktail. They always taste fresh and delicious.

Love the vibe at Federal Galley. Every time I am there, there is something different to try. I was dying to try Given to Fly after stalking Troy Beck on Instagram during the pandemic. Let me tell you, it was worth the wait. The Nashville chicken sando was as close as I've had to Hattie B's in Nash. It was so good and spicy, but not too hot. I can't wait to drag boyfriend down next weekend to get something different!

It's 4 different restaurants and a bar. Good for vegetarians. Lots of seating indoor and outdoor. We only had the Italian place and it was delicious. Dog friendly patio! Which is the entire reason we ate here. They have breakfast options as well. Definitely recommend and will be returning with the dogs.

Federal Galley is a great choice for a number of scenarios but my favorites are for happy hour, and when my S.O. and I or any type of group are craving different things. Everyone can get something they're in the mood for and everyone wins. From southern comfort food, to Asian or pizza, every restaurant concept serves up something tasty and fresh. Back to happy hour...in my opinion Federal Galley has one of the best in the city. The bartenders crank out the drinks like clockwork and you can get a delicious glass of wine for $4-5, beers for $2-3. Happy hour is 4:30-6:30 most days of the week.
