great location, OK beer, food was average. Mainly Shipyard beers, with a couple of house beers. Decent chowder & Lobster Roll. Avoid the Pot Roast sandwich

Visited this past weekend. Had lunch and beers on their deck. Never even went inside, so can’t say much about the decor. The deck was nice, but next time I’ll wait for a table in the shade. Service was decent. They were busy. Food was good and I thought reasonably priced. Beer selection was just okay. It is mostly Shipyard, although I had the Kennebunkport Taint Town Pale Ale. Nice gift shop downstairs where you can get Shipyard beer, glassware & misc souviner type items. I’ll go back.

Had lunch here, and visited the store downstairs, where you can buy bottles. Nice place, overlooking the water. Waitstaff had an OK level of knowledge on the beers. Food was decent, but not great, and a tad pricey. Decent brews.

Just okay. Staff not very knowledgable about the products.

My wife and I went here July 2003 during our honeymoon trip to Maine. Federal Jacks is a great relaxing place to have some beer and food. We got a sampler of their beers and enjoyed them all. The food was good, especially the chicken wings. The service was good as well.

Lunch on the terrace, Good food, good service, and good selection of beer. This place is for tourists and that is what I was. The view of the river was nice on a summer day.

Diner là, sur la terrasse avec une vue de la rivier Kennebunk. Le diner était assez bon, rien d’original. J’ai bu la seule bière brassé sur place (Taint Town Pale Ale) c’était correct. En général, c’est bien, mais très touristique car on est pas loin des plages.

I vacation in Kennebunk 1-2 times a year, and I become a part-time "regular" at Federal Jack’s. Good service, great food, always at least 1 Shipyard beer that’s pouring well, including seasonals like Longfellow Winter and PumpkinHead Ale in fall, plus "old reliable" Old Thumper year-round. Overlooking the river, this is a great place to chill, eat, play some pool and belly up to the bar.

Went there on a Sunday. Pretty good service. Decent number of beers, and ones I can’t get at home. Food was downright delicious, and I didn’t eat lobster because I don’t really like it. I also like the fact that you can’t smoke in bars in Maine!!!! Beers are a little on the watery side, but I can forgive a lot when people are nice to me.
