Reviews Summary
Ford's Garage offers a unique and fun dining experience with its immersive automotive theme and nostalgic decor. While many praise the delicious, juicy burgers and impressive onion rings, some reviews mention slow service during busy periods. The overall atmosphere is a major draw, making it a memorable spot for car enthusiasts and families alike.
"Such a good place for anyone who likes cars! Ford's Garage is a restaurant chain serving up delicious burgers and other food. The employees were nice here, and the atmosphere was crazy. There was a car on top of the bar, gas pumps as door handles and sink faucets, and tires as sinks. There's even a replica gas station outside! The burger was delicious, too. I highly recommend Ford's Garage to any car enthusiast or anyone looking for a cool experience."

"First impressions. The restaurant is unique in terms of the automotive theme. The old cars in the store and tire sinks in the bathrooms are pretty cool. The service was friendly a little slow but ok. The food was just ok. We had the ribeye steak and the crispy chicken sandwich. It’s still an interesting spot for dining. I would recommend it"

"Stopped in for lunch with my dad, this was my
Second time here. The atmosphere is always great, if you’re an automotive enthusiast, this is right up your alley.
The first time I came here the service was great this second time it was terrible. Our server Got our drinks wrong 3 separate times, forgot our drinks another time, food took over an hour to come out and all we ordered were burgers. I wouldn’t have even considered them to be that busy.
Because of the great service on the first visit and the bad service this time I split the service rating to 3 stars.
The food however was great when we got it. The burgers were super juicy and delicious and cooked exactly how we ordered them.
I would still recommend, the food is good and flavorful, the atmosphere is cool , this service experience could have just been one of those days"
