federal american grill

awesome happy hour. went to bw first time for happy hour and was very pleased. the reuben sliders, esp. the fried oysters were exceptional! i don't think they have the fried oysters on their happy hourmenubut we asked for it and got it for a happy hour price. i would recommend bombshell blondes for the ladies, has a hint of lemon to it.

i agree with larry, nothing special. nice atmosphere (although too cold) but the food is average at best. the price listed is misleading too- we spent $100 with one beer.
nothing onmenuworth mentioning- nothing "bad" but nothing note worthy either. can't imagine where high ratings came from. houston has too many great restaurants to revisit this one.

the rest of themenustepped up to deliver a well rounded & excessive meal. even after leaving out large parts of the menu, i.e. the appetizers and the mains sections, i was perfectly content to eat my way through the snacks and to share portion of the menu. maybe next time, we’ll have the foresight and proper communication to try the rest of the menu, but i’d be just as satisfied to sift through branch water tavern’s excellent selection of liquors with a snack or two on the side.

a semi shady pool hall has been transformed into branch water tavern, seeking only those worthy of its modern green décor & dark hardwood floor. consumed with an explosion of 80's music, the sound produces sporadic moments of musical ecstasy. classic new american cuisine is offered, with an open kitchen enticing one's imagination that much more. branch water tavern describes themenuas "seasonally inspired, featuring local organic meat and produce, locally sourced fish and seafood, and an extensive cured meat and charcuterie program." food and music are only part of the attractive factor, with a bar capable of massively holding its own. evan turner, beverage director and partner, puts the "t" in tavern. he's not playing games with any aspect of this bar, compiling a luscious wine list, sophisticated enough to compliment any taste. um, let us now quote this master mixologist… "every sommelier dreams of working on a list from the ground up. branch water tavern offers me that opportun

very bad and expensive mistake!. service was some of the worst in houston. many of the items on themenuwere not even available. i recommend that they incorporate a dailymenuor they need to do a much better job ordering from their wholesalers. they promised that they did have a dessert available for us to purchase. of course they had nothing. the server offered to take off the items we ordered but never received; gee thanks for nothing. they did overcharge our group for items that we did order but never received. i don't think that they were fraudulent or trying to steal my money, but their actions made me wonder. i will give them the benefit of the doubt that they are very poorly organized and leave it at that. the chef may or may not be good. the food we actually received was "ok" and not the worst food i ever tasted. however, we were very soured on the terrible overall experience. i even gave them opportunity at the end of the night to do the right thing and provide us with some goodwill, anything to talk me in to coming back to their restaurant or to avoid telling the world of my terrible experience. instead they overbilled us and the manager. i explained to them that they overbilled us, but paid it just to get out of there. still very bitter.
