Houston restaurant owner to reopen Federal Grill Hedwig Village for in-dining service Friday

Owner-operator Matt Brice on Friday will reopen the Hedwig Village location of Federal Grill, which first opened its doors on Feb. 24, at 8731 Katy Freeway, for in-dining service
“I disagree with Hidalgo’s order. The government does not have the right to pick the winners and losers of this situation,” said Brice. “Until now, we’ve followed it 100 percent to make sure the city is safe. But the numbers are decreasing and it is time to get people back to work.”
