We had a friendly greeting upon entering, asked for a seat by the window to enjoy the wonderful view of the harbor. My wife got the mussels for an app, the were delicious. I got a salad with the stuffed haddock. Good food, good service. Will definitely return, place seems like it could be a good time in the middle... More

If you like microbrews, give it a try. Don't bother eating. Our lunch was microwaved. The waitress was way behind and kept forgetting us. The chowder was not as good as canned. There better choices for food in the port.

I was entertaining a friend that had come up from Florida. He is a yacht owner and wanted to check out the local yacht clubs, etc. He thought the view from Federal Jacks was impressive, which it was. The only problem we had was that when we stated that we were only planning to enjoy some cocktails by the window.... More

Stopped by Federal Jacks for lunch. The food was average pub food. It was good, their drink menu was great and the drinks were very tasty. We ate on the patio with a good view of the water.

Sunday evening, 5/5/13 was a busy dinner at the restaurant on the river. We tried the 3 beer sampler with a blend that was our waitress, Chelsea's favorite, and ours too. It had a peach smell and was not too strong. The burgers and fries were done on the rare side of medium rare, which is right up my alley.... More

Our friends and we have enjoyed consistently good food and choices at Federal Jack's. Turkey burger and fish tacos are two favs. Unfortunately, they had new menus and the haddock fish cakes were not on there. However! The chef made them for me when I told the server she had no idea how much I'd been looking forward to returning... More

Had dinner here. It was kind of crowded, but it was a Sat. night. We waited for about 25 minutes for a table. The food and beer were really good and reasonably priced. We would definitely go back again.

My boyfriend and I ate here during the off-season on a Thursday evening and the place was quite busy. We did not have to wait for a table at all, which was nice, but our server was very busy. I had the mussels which were cooked in the restaurant's own ale and they were delicious and plentiful. I also had... More

We ate at this restaurant during the slow season (April) and had the best table overlooking the river. The mussels were perfect with the restaurant's own locally brewed ale in the recipe. Excellent food and service!
