Food was good, but when I ordered the fried avocado BLT... I didnt expect it to be spicy. After asking our waitress and then a manager, found out it was guacamole with jalapeño... NO Bueno!! I'm allergic

This place is a joke. They took my real DC ID as well as my friend’s real Virginia ID and told us to leave. This has happened twice. I was about to call the cops because clearly they are real IDs and we needed them back. Only then the bouncers laughed in our faces and gave them back. I asked for the management to verify that they were real and we were told that they were the management. Bouncers don't manage, they regulate. Clearly this place has never seen an ID from va or dc.

Whether you're looking for that "classic" Annapolis dining experience or simply ordering takeout, look no further than Fed House. Order their "Award Winning" Cream of Crab Soup and you'll see why it's one of the premiere features of Downtown Annapolis ?Kid-friendliness: With both indoor/outdoor seating options and a friendly staff, the entire family will enjoy dining at Fed House!

We had the pleasure of eating here for a event Tuesday 4-16-24 and we had an absolute blast. Jessica was our waitress along with a young man who's name I did not catch. We had a party of 17 including 2 toddlers. The atmosphere was great, the food was damn damn good and Jessica and her colleague made sure we were takin care of for this special event. The food, everyone was very pleased!!! Just to mention a few, 2 of us had the hangover, crab cake, crab salad, chicken fingers, tacos, stuffed shrimp, sweet potato fries,calamari and more. We were across the board with the menu and not one complaint except the crab cake was a little over priced but other than that everyone said that was really good!!! So daughter and new son-in-law made a great choice after the event (hint hint). Thank Federal House for a very very nice dinner and thank you for the hospitality!!! Fine fine job to Jessica and her colleague and we hope to come back to visit soon!

The staff at the door is extremely rude and one female working at the door was extremely rude when we asked her name because we wanted to report her to the manager she refused to tell us and made us leave. We called the police because we had done nothing wrong and the officer agreed with us but told us it is private property and they can let in whom ever they choose. This doesn’t seem right but we won’t be returning. Hopefully management will see that whomever this employee is she needs to be fired as she has absolutely no customer service skills She looks at people and decides if she doesn’t like them for whatever reason then won’t allow them in. There were 3 of us and me and my one friend she was going to let in but our third friend she denied. So obviously we all left together, because we were not going to leave our other friend on the street alone. Unbelievable that she has a job only thing I can think of is she is related to owner maybe. We will just take our business elsewhere and we advise others to do the same don’t give this employee the opportunity to look you up and down and decide if she wants to let you in or not. Couldn’t tell you want the food is like cause we didn’t get past the front door. That’s ok we went O’Brien and had great good and great time!

Some very good….some not so good. To start, the crab dip was excellent…creamy, hot, and delicious. The menu said it came with tortilla chips. When it was brought to table, no chips…just bread. I asked about it and was told the chips were stale. Of course don’t want stale chips, but go buy some?!!!! Didn’t really want to have only that heavy bread to use to dip. But the dip was super. I had boom boom shrimp. They were so so but for the price I expected more than 4! Quantity was not noted on menu. Son said his burger with crab dip was good. Dessert was a miss. It was a skillet cookie. Thought it would be a half baked type ooey cookie…was 3 small chocolate chip cookies that looked like Chips Ahoy. Were barely warm. Had some whipped cream and a big marshmallow. My son ate it but wasn’t impressed. Wish I had sent it back. Service was good. I’d go back just for the crab dip (hopefully with chips next time if I do) but that’s it.

French onion soup & crab salad were YUM and the perfect amount of food. The server was very nice and attentive. A few other staff were talking amongst one another and complaining about various topics loudly. That soured the atmosphere a bit, but overall a good place to check out for a quick bite.
Service was quite good. Food was well below average. Grilled chicken had an odd taste like the grill hadn't been cleaned in ages. Salad was wilted. MD crab soup had some spice but was under salted. Calamari was salty.

Actually got charged $9.75 for this weak pour. Really? Pretty bitter after the fact that it took over 20 minutes after being seated to even get a chance to place an order. This really shouldn’t be happening in the off-season.

Very good lobster/crab grilled cheese and crab soup. Fish & Chips were very good as well.Dietary restrictions: Our server wasn’t too familiar with diet restrictions (gluten, dairy), but worked with us.
