    Crab rangoon fries
    Jocelyn N.

    I have been waiting for so long to try out Given to Fly and when I won one of their social media contests, I went right away. I noticed that their line seemed to be longest inside Federal Galley and there's a reason: it's worth it. Aside from the crab rangoon fries I received for free, friends and I ordered some chicken fingers and tots that came with a bacon cheddar dip. Every single thing we had was crunchy, fresh and tasted delicious. I'd recommend the crab rangoon fries 10 times over -- they come with a cream cheese crab mixture, green onions and sweet chili sauce. They have tons of other fry combinations and such a variety of chicken sandwiches that I'd love trying as well.

    Crab Rangoon fries... so good!
    Jayme B.

    We ordered takeout from Given to Fly, located inside of Federal Galley. We ordered a plain Jane (mayo and pickles) chicken sandwich and the crab Rangoon fries. The service was great- the lady taking our order was super friendly and helpful. Our food took around 10-15 to prepare which was fine especially since it was busy that night. The chicken sandwich lacked a bit for me. The positive is that it was a nice sized piece of chicken and it was cooked great. However the flavor was lacking. I think the chicken needs some seasoning. However... those crab Rangoon fries?! I will order from Given to Fly again and again for those fries. They are large so one order is definitely shareable for multiple people. I will visit back to try some other menu options (and to order those fries again, lol)

    Nashville hot with pickles
    Jason F.

    I stopped by here a couple of Thursdays ago with my wife and kids for lunch. Since it's one of the concept restaurants inside the Federal Galley, there's not too much to say about the inside other than there are a number of shared tables that you can sit at and you can help yourself to water and plates. One thing that I enjoyed is each table had a QR code you could scan and then order and pay for any or all of the restaurants. From Given to Fly I ended up ordering their Nashville hot sandwich. The menu described it as Nashville Hot with Pickles ("Hot" is in the name; Proceed with caution! Please feel free to come ask us about it if you're unsure) and I was impressed whenever it came to the table. It was larger than I had expected and looked super spicy. The chicken itself ended up being cooked perfectly as it was moist and juicy. Then the bun was toasted nicely and held up to all of the nashville hot sauce which was on there which I appreciated. As for the sauce, yeah it was definitely spicy and delicious. It didn't blow my head off but it was enough that I was slightly uncomfortable upon finishing and I do love spicy food! The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I loved both my sandwich and the sauce here and love that they didn't mess around and brought the heat.

    Amazing plain sandwich

    I had wanted to try Given to Fly at Federal Galley for a long time. I'm obsessed with fried chicken and am always looking for a good one. So glad we finally did! My husband, our friend, and I all had their delicious fried chicken sandwiches. My husband and I had the plan version which was really good. The chicken was really crispy, moist and flavorful. Our friend had the Korean BBQ one and he really liked it. He said the sauce was a little bit spicy but not too bad. We all loved the waffle fries. They were so crispy, a little spicy and so good. Definitely go try it out. I'd like to try the other types. I love buffalo chicken and blue cheese. That sounds so good.

    I'm torn in this review as I genuinely enjoyed the atmosphere, the portions were plentiful, and the speed with which the food was ready was second to none! However, the chicken sandwich didn't live up to my expectations and it didn't stand up to some of the other Nashville Hot Chickens I've had in PGH. I don't consider myself a sandwich snob, but I was let down that the hot chicken seemed to be all heat on the outside, but the chicken itself was bland. My wife said the same thing of her chicken filet too. I also didn't think there were enough pickles and I couldn't taste the ones that were there either. Hopefully it was just not the right night for me, and I'd like to come back and try something different--but in the meantime I'll get my Nashville hot from some of the other establishments.

    Chicken tenders and fries
    Courtney W.

    I hate leaving restaurants bad reviews because I know how many variables and elements go into producing food. That being said, this restaurant really does deserve a 1-star. I ordered chicken tenders and fries which is really hard to mess up. The breading fell off of the chicken tenders and made them mushy. The chicken was unseasoned and was way too thick. The fries were oily and mushy. Lastly, the service was poor. The woman who took my order seemed disinterested. Skip this place and try something else.

    Waffle Fries
    Marla C.

    I have tried given to fly a handful of times. The waffle fries on the best thing on their menu! I went for brunch and got the hot honey chicken biscuit. It was not what I expected, I was expecting the sandwich to have hot honey on it. It was just hot sauce. Also the biscuit was so cold it made the sandwich even less enjoyable. I have also tried the buffalo chicken sandwich which was good but it was messy.

    Under the hood

    Sandwich as big as your face! So hard to pick what to get but went with nobu. Spicy but absolutely manageable. The breading is so light that it makes you feel more like you're eating a grilled chicken sandwich with crunchies on top. Such great breading. Prepare to be full for days after!

    Truffalo chicken sandwich
    DJ J.

    New restaurant concept at the Federal Galley. Lots of chicken option, many different types of chicken sandwiches. Stopped by and had the Truffle that is a truffle infused buffalo sane with lots of sharp and tasty blue cheese and green onions. Really a good chicken sandwich with a buffalo sauce that had a nice amount of spice. Looking forward to trying some of the other menu items.

    Nashville hot chicken sandwich
    Ken L.

    This review is purely based on the Nashville hot chicken sandwich which was inedible. The chicken was fried well and it looked nice but that hot sauce they put on it was not it. It was more like a dry rub than a sauce so when you took a bite, you would taste spicy dry seasoning bits in your mouth. It's also not as spicy as the menu claims. We had to take the L and order something else. I might try just the regular chicken sandwich next time.

    Nashville hot chicken sandwich
    Joey S.

    This is a simple review, because I don't have a whole lot to say but; Wow! This is everything I want in a chicken sandwich; crispy, juicy, spicy, and flavorful. I'll be going back again soon and can't wait to try more of their menu! If anything came a little bit short, it was the portion size of my waffle fries, but hey - I'm a hungry guy.

Actually made rude comments, looked wacked out and was never at the front desk. So when she also forgot a portion of my order I had to lean inside the kitchen to get everything I paid for. To top it off this "chicken sandwich" was like what 5-10% chicken at best? It's honestly pathetic especially for the price they want to charge I used to enjoy bird on the run However over the past two years it gotten worse and worse every time to the point I will never come here again and advise everyone to stay away...better off going to chic fila where practically a child can deliver a better sandwich and food than this "establishment" also think this is my first negative review I ever left that's how bad it was.

    Overall, not a bad place, but I don't think it lives up to the hype and the layout and parking of…read morethis location are a bit of a challenge. I ordered through the drive through. They have two lanes, but when I was there only one was open (so there was a slight wait). You could actually clearly hear and understand the person through the speaker which doesn't always happen. The menu is fairly limited (you can basically only get chicken tenders or a chicken sandwich) so the only choice is how many fingers and if you want a combo or things individually. I chose a three piece box which comes with a piece of bread, the tenders, crinkle fries and a sauce. While I really enjoy their fries and think their chicken strips are great, it is a bit pricey for fast food. Generally, though, the process was easy, my order was right and the place looked clean.

We decided to go inside because this location had the worst parking lot and drive through I've ever experienced. There isn't a lot of room to ride around and get the proper format of getting through. It's designed kind of off. So you have to be careful of you end up back on the road and having to drive further away to come back on the right side. It's easier to park and walk inside. Anyway ... the ambiance was nice. Everyone was friendly and efficient. We selected the box meal which consisted of 4 fingers and fries along with a drink. I'm not the biggest chicken finger fan. These were good but nothing exceptional. The sauce makes the meal. The sauce is really the star of the show. It's a chipotle, old bay type flavor that has an awesome taste. We were headed back on the road, so it served as a great meal to be on the go. The restaurant was very clean and all the items you needed were on the counter and fully stocked.

This is a modern quick serve restaurant ordering online or at a kiosk, pickup at counter. Employees seem stressed but friendly enough.

But I was prepared for it with extra napkins. The ordering process was via kicks. I should've known that it would take some effort when the woman in front let me go ahead since she said she didn't want to slow down the line. It's not an intuitive process. And no one stationed at the front counter to help. Took a while to figure out how to get fries without it being automatically combined with the drink. Nice touch to get people to pay more! Finally found the fries separately! Definitely not an easy process. They will text you when the order is ready. Nice! Bathroom was really dirty but at least my order was ready earlier than expected! Came here for the sandwich and it was painfully dry without much taste although the honey added some sweetness. Unlike Chick-fil-A where the sandwich can stand on its own, and the sauce just enhances it, there's no way I could eat this sandwich without some accompaniment. So dry. The fries were pretty soggy where I like a certain crunch. Reminiscent of 5 guys fries but much less portioned and much thinner. Good taste but nothing crave-able and very greasy. Service was nonexistent which is why I didn't leave a tip on the kiosk screen. Why do restaurants do this anyway?!? Why do I tip for service I haven't received?!? Finally, how can they possibly charge!$11 for their sandwiches. The regular sandwich starts at $11 as was my hot honey which really wasn't all that hot anyway. That's more than twice the cost of a Chick-fil-A! Next time I'm going to get both a spicy and regular Chick-fil-A and still have money leftover. Maybe I'll get their waffle fries too. At least, I won't have to waste time on a kiosk to figure out how to add it to my order!

Do we walk around or do we get a table? Im confused and she is just as confused by my confusion. Apparently, it is a sit-down, get escorted to a table just like any other full-service restaurant model and with an hour wait to do so on this Picklesburgh Sunday so we did not partake (FYI, we had a great meal with no wait at Nicki's Thai restaurant). So, guys. If you are going to tout this as a beer and food "hall", remember what the concept is. (Um, Faneuil Hall?? In Boston ring a bell?)

Located in north o, it is located next to all the other shops and restaurants in the area. Street parking only but it shouldn't be difficult to find a spot nearby.

The space is small but has a couple 4 top/ bar seating. Food came out relatively quickly and the service was top notch. The boba selection was awesome, so many flavors and the tapioca itself was pretty QQ (for all my hardcore boba fans) and tasty.

The inside is fairly small with a few chairs along the long table attached to the front window and two tables with four chairs each. There's some more space in the back but that seemed to be used for storage and whatnot. We got the strawberry lemon and passionfruit green teas and both were refreshing and perfect for a hot summer day. We also tried out their wings and fried chicken. I am more of a wing sauce versus a dry rub person and while all the flavors of our wings were tasty, the sweet chili chicken and soy and garlic sauces really hit the spot for me! The chicken was perfectly crispy and while I love 98k Hamburger, it is less oily than their chicken which can be nice. The regular fried chicken is a bit less seasoned than that of 98k so really it's up to you and your preference. Our food came out fairly quickly and it was obvious the chicken was piping hot and fresh. The staff was super nice and checked in on us at appropriate intervals and genuinely wanted our feedback
