Federal Donuts & Chicken on East Market is a true gem for food lovers in Philly. Their crispy fried chicken is perfectly seasoned, juicy, and always hits the spot. The donuts are a delightful treat—made fresh, with creative flavors that change daily. Whether you’re craving savory or sweet, this place has it all. The staff is friendly, the vibe is laid-back, and the food is consistently fantastic. Don’t miss the honey donut with your chicken—pure bliss!

Honestly, I stopped by Federal Donuts as a "must try" while visiting Philadelphia... kind of expecting it to be overrated in that regard... but I actually really loved my donuts and did find it to be a few notches above a lot of other donuts / donut places I have enjoyed over the years. I got 2 fancy donuts and 1 hot and fresh, and all three were very yummy, but the hot and fresh (in my case a cinnamon brown sugar) donut was especially delicious and definitely what I would recommend (their hot and fresh donuts, whatever flavor/s strike your particular fancy) to anyone looking to try the best this place has to offer. Can't comment on the food since I only got the donuts, but the donuts (and service) were an easy five stars for me.

Loved the chicken sandwich and cake donuts. Only complaint was that they said they were out of classic donuts even though a fresh batch was sitting but saved for tomorrow.

The server was nice and knowledgeable about the menu options. I got a breakfast chicken sandwich which was okay all I could taste was the spice. The donut was really good not too sweet.

I always have an amazing time and get phenomenal food here. While they are known for their donuts, the thing that brings him back time after time is the amazing customer service I received. They are always so nice and helpful. I highly recommend their seasonal donuts. in addition, there’s zataar hashbrowns are their sleeper hit. I look forward to eating here again soon.

Vegetarian options: Because they are a donut shop most of their food is vegetarian

I would have to say I got the chicken and donut and it was pretty good. make sure you get a sauce though, I got plain and it wasn't all that but edible.

My coworkers and I ordered chicken sandwiches and fries. The chicken was not fresh and it was hard and dry. The fries were okay. I didn't enjoy my meal.
