The Fed Downtown — Restaurant in Kirkland Lake

Ordered cashew chicken rice bowl - absolutely gross. Over cooked rice which was pasty and tasted like they plopped a chunk of peanut butter in it, could not choke it down it was that bad. My husbands steak was cooked right but they didn’t cook the onions leaving them almost raw, forgot his mushrooms he paid extra for and didn’t give any gravy or bbq sauce of any sorts for the dish. We ordered cocktails - Long Island iced tea and a cosmopolitan which tasted like no alcohol was added in either of the drinks but we were charged for it anyways as there was no bartender on site and our new waitress had to make drinks on her own for her first time! She held her own despite the lack of staff and assistance in the restaurant, she was so overwhelmed with lack of help we weren’t able to ask for any assistance with the food but we tipped her well as it was not her fault. We are very disappointed for our first time as reviews are all showing great.. not sure what happened here and hopefully management fixes this issue.

We had a birthday dinner here on Feb.6 and it was awful. Our server was outstanding, very sweet and did a great job, but the food was terrible. We were a party of 4 and each of us had a different meal. The pulled pork sandwich was the only item that was enjoyed. One of our party had fettucine alfredo with shrimp and he actually vomited his meal in the bathroom of the restaurant. Another had a chicken wrap and she vomited as soon as we got home. I had a small, over-priced plate of nachos that was barely warm, most of the cheese wasn't even melted. It's hard to screw up a plate of nachos, but they did. I called the restaurant once we got home after the second person had vomited, and I spoke with the manager who was very apologetic. She offered a 50% off coupon for our next time there, but I assured her there would be no next time. The food was never great with the previous owners, but now it's awful. Will not...

Visiting from out of town and was disappointed to see that the change of ownership has caused a decline in quality of this location. Came twice to this location over the weekend and both times the food was cold, and the burger from dinner was packed with breadcrumbs and gave the two people who ate them an upset stomach overnight. Not a lot of choice in a small town, and I believe in supporting local - especially in KL- but this was a very disappointing experience.

The server was exceptional. Not a single bad thing to say about her.

Last thing. Fed Tavern is named after the historical Federal District. So The Fed Downtown doesn't make sense. Not a big thing but it felt like someone doesn't understand the town dynamic, or chose to ignore...
