The tray that came out was the best order of food that i have had in some time. The portion was generous, and the quality was outstanding. If you're in Novi and looking for a Nacho to split (or a lot to take home) this is should be your joint for them! Well done Joe Kool's, what a nice surprise on a Tuesday night.

The entire place is decked out in old automobile memorabilia -- it literally feels like you're eating inside a classic Ford museum! The details are next level... even the BATHROOMS are themed! The sinks look like they're made from tires and the door handles are like gas pump nozzles and they even serve the food on automobile-style dinner ware -- the creativity is unreal! The ambiance is so relaxing, and it's sporting this really calming blue tone throughout that just makes you feel comfortable and at ease It's energetic but somehow still cozy at the same time.

If you haven't been to a Ford's Garage, you are missing out on some fantastic comfort food. See my burger pic for reference. ;)

Server number 200 did not do that for me this evening. I went to Archie's on a recommendation from my local host. My Cajun chicken salad was decent, nothing to brag about, nothing to complain about. The bartender took my drink and food order, but someone else delivered my food, and kindly asked if I needed anything else. I said no. The bartender passed by me no less than a dozen times, never stopping once to check in. She busied herself with socializing with the locals at the tables, but couldn't offer a simple check in to see if I liked my food or needed anything else. Before that, my tip was going to be 30%, which is standard. By the time I left, it dropped down to just under 20%. She was not even deserving of that, but I am a decent guy. As I walked out, I expected a parting greeting from the bartender who was at another table. Nothing. As I passed by the host, I expected another greeting. Nothing. There is absolutely nothing about this restaurant, the food, or the staff that would encourage me to return or recommend it to anyone else. Nothing.

The food was reasonably priced and the service was very prompt! Our server was very kind and while very busy, didn't give a brush-off like most places will with that many people inside. From their artichoke dip to their burgers, it was a great meal. Highly recommend for a summer or anytime hang out. They can accommodate groups as well as small parties of 2-6 regularly. I highly recommend giving it a try.

Dining in was quite nice. We were able to watch the Tiger game and have an enjoyable mid-day lunch. I love the many TV's and from every seat, you're able to watch. The seating is comfortable and the energy is lively. We had a great server, he was very nice and engaging. The food was satisfying. The Mac and cheese bites were a pleasant surprise. I had a massive salad and it had a tons of ingredients, very fresh and delicious. We also ordered the filet bites and this is a tender and tasty dish. The pretzels are sort of common, nothing too special. Next time, we must order the desserts! They looked so tempting. Overall, I would definitely return. Art and Jake's is fun place to dine.

My wife got the chicken quesadillas and I went for a regular cheese burger with fries. It was nice because the food came out quickly but was not very hot.

They gave us plenty of food for the money and if it was hotter it would have been a 5 star review.

On this last visit my friend and I shared an order of the beef nachos and they were huge. They didn't skimp on the cheese like so many places do and it was layered throughout not just on the top. Drinks have always been strong and the prices are reasonable. They have a pool table which seems to be popular. On our most recent visit (10-4-25) the place was packed watching the Tigers in game 1 of the ALDS. They passed out free shots for every home run the Tigers had. At the end of the night they still had extra shots to give away. Even though they were packed our bartender came over to check on us periodically. Scores is a great place to watch Detroit sports.

We came to eat some apps, "football bowling, do some axe throwing too. We had reservations for our department from 2-4pm. It kind of looks like an office building. Then again I guess it doesn't matter what the exterior looks like. I ordered the blackened honey glazed salmon on the Michigan salad with no blue cheese and balsamic dressing instead. The Michigan salad is made with iceberg lettuce, blech. The first salad came with blue cheese atop it, gave it to another colleague. The salad was sub-bar, would be better with mixed greens, the dressing is definitely not balsamic, it tastes super sweet and syrupy, like the raspberry vinaigrette. The blackened salmon is good at least. We ordered cheese bread, nachos and hummus for some shareables. The nachos and hummus weren't too bad. One of my colleagues got the BBQ chicken wrap and liked it well, came with the sweet potato fries. Our waitress, never got her name, was great to our department team. The blackened salmon is really good. They should put that on the menu. The raspberry vinaigrette dressing is a little too sweet, too sweet. The service here was definitely a four, but the food was a three for me.

It was full of customers and had a bridal event and memorial at the same time as having almost full capacity inside. Wait staff was new and being trained and attentive.

Large parking lot and really a maze of rooms available inside. Staff not mask wearing. More for your situational awareness than anything. Not a lot of veg options- didn't see any vegan- and could be wrong about that. A lot of cheese and meat, some fish. Good that we had was good. It's a bit out of the way for me and will keep it in mind.
