Our waitress Jayla was so kind and efficient. Came back to the table offering more drinks etc. She seemed happy to work there!

You get an automatic 3-stars if you offer tater tots as a side. I've never had a bad tot. I think the only way to mess it up is to not fry it. Great space for large groups and the menu is very approachable. Lots of parking available and the location is convenient. Service is good but I'm not looking for much. Just get my order right, drinks aren't sweaty when they hit the table and food comes out at the right temp. The restrooms are cool or intimidating. You decide lol. Easy to please... read more

Normally I love Ford's Garage, but this was my first time visiting this location, and unfortunately it missed the mark. When we walked in, there were plenty of open tables, yet the host sat us directly next to a table with a screeching newborn. It felt inconsiderate and set the tone for an unpleasant dining experience. I started with the French onion soup, which was very good, and our server was friendly, attentive, and overall great. No complaints there. I ordered the mushroom Swiss burger medium rare, specifically asking for it to lean more on the rare side. What I received was the exact opposite. The burger was the most well‑done burger I've ever been served -- completely blackened inside and out. On top of that, there was a large chunk of raw, cold red onion sitting on it. The cheese was melted, the mushrooms were sautéed, the burger was cooked to death... yet the onions were somehow untouched. I've never had a burger assembled like that, and I wasn't a fan. I had planned to order the Brookie Sundae, but between the ambiance of toddlers shrieking like a pterodactyl and the burnt burger, it felt wiser to just close out and call it a night. Really disappointing for a place I normally enjoy. read more

I thought about this for a while, and I wasn't going to post a review, but. . .I've now been to Ford's for dinner three times, and I always get the same order, the cod fish and chips. The first two trips, the dinner was fantastic. The filled was nice size and the batter fluffy. The taste, amazing. My third visit, however, things changed. Expecting the same experience, I was looking forward to it. Our waiter was the best, I think his name was Cam, or something similar. I wish I could remember because he is the reason I may still go back. His service was fine restaurant quality. The fish was horrible. It was 1/4 the size of read more

Stopped in for dinner,took what seemed like forever to receive our order. Orders soup & salad & Burger & fries Salad came out at room temp just glad there wasn't anything in it that could have spoiled.French onion soup came out nice & how however it tasted burnt(could have been old) Hamburger & fries were very skimpy portions. Very disappointed as we had been there before & everything was good at that time. Wasn't very busy so not sure why our order took so long! read more

Great food!! The burnt end brisket sandwich is a must here. Tower of onion rings obviously. Beer on tap is great resting on the frozen bar. Service is prompt and the atmosphere is nice and chill. This place is just great!!! read more

I tried the High Octane Burger at Ford's Garage for the very first time and let me tell you...the name fits perfectly! The burger came out juicy, well-seasoned, and stacked with bold flavors that hit you from the first bite. The toppings were fresh, the cheese melted just right, and the sauce added that extra kick without overpowering everything else. It feels like the kind of burger made for someone who wants something a little extra, a little exciting. And the tater tots? Crispy, golden, and addictive. They had that perfect crunch on the outside and soft center on the inside, making them the ideal sidekick to such a hearty burger. Honestly, I could've eaten a whole bowl of them. Ford's Garage delivered a great meal with fast, friendly service and a fun atmosphere. If you're craving a burger that brings big flavor, the High Octane is the one to order. read more

Ford's Garage - High-Octane Burger with tater tots - Burgers Near Me - Brandon, Florida

I've been here twice before posting this review. The first time was amazing. Got the estate burger and it was perfectly seasoned and tasted delicious. Service was friendly as well. The second time was on a Saturday night and it was super busy. Service was still top tier. However, the food was a miss. We ordered the nachos and the cooks didn't bother to throw away the chip crumbs at the bottom. We ended up with a plate full of crumbs and salt! A lot of it! The manager saw the plate and right away took it off our bill so I'm thankful for that. The burgers themselves were mid and everything just seemed rushed and salty that night. Decor overall is gimmicky but that's the whole point. I would come back again but will make sure it's not during a super busy time. read more

Not really anything necessarily good or bad to say. It's your regular American chain restaurant with new locations popping up around. Considering we had a party of 6, I'd say we had pretty good service with one waiter. He was also very nice and friendly. To drink I had the ol' reliable tea. It was good, but wasn't really something I get again. I should've went with a margarita or something more up my alley. For lunch I had the bbq brisket burger with truffle fries. The burger was good but the fries were AMAZING. I still think about them sometimes. From what I can remember, everyone enjoyed their meals and whatnot. It's a place where there's something for everyone and for this location, I recommend. read more

Haven't been in a while, last time $17.88 for a Cobb Salad was insane. Although it is a really good salad. We were greeted well, we just said we would sit at the bar. Bartender was good, ordered one beer and one water. Ordered a Patty Melt, my go to there. We were asked how we wanted it cooked, we said medium. It came out on time! Bleeding, we showed it to the bartender and asked if that was medium, she gave a gag me face and said she would fix it. The manager had to come out and redo the order. The next Patty Melt came out with a much smaller patty and raw again. The manager said she would put it back on? She brought it out again the same small patty in a pike of garbage? We paid for the one beer and left. Don't think we will recommend or be back !! read more

First time ever here place is beautiful sat at the bar. Service was fast and friendly had the best French onion soup that I've had in a long time also had a cop salad very good. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Made a reservation two days in advance. When I arrived with my party, I was told I could be added to the waitlist and there were several parties of 5 in front of us. I said I was confused as I had a reservation. Apparently they were not honoring reservations on Father's Day. I specifically picked this restaurant because I could make a reservation. I wish someone had told us or not allowed the reservation to be made in advance. read more

First time here. Place is pretty cool inside I liked the vibe. Service was prompt and friendly. I got the green and clean veggie burger. Never have high hopes for veggie burgers at these places but this one was full of flavor. Also got the jalapeño creamed corn. Was good but the portion was small and could have been spicer. All in all not a bad place to grab lunch read more

Seriously cool decor. Watch for details like gas pump handles, oil funnel to hold onion rings, shop rags for napkins, tire sinks,etc. Giant portions of delicious food. Fish and chips are crispy and delicious. Onion rings crunchy and sweet, and the burnt end brisket sandwich with bacon jam was out of this world. We'll be repeat visitors while in the area.​ read more

I came here years ago, but usually no desire to come back, but we decided to come back. -the decor is so cool and it is also loud in the restaurant from all the talking, music and acoustics -there is a full bar and outdoor seating -the salads are more expensive than me going to like other higher end restaurants which was crazy to me. The food is okay. Just a little on the pricier side. Drinks are also strong -the service is good. read more

If you like classic Ford cars and old fashion location. You will love this place. To the napkin holders and the napkins itself it's like you are ready to work in a garage with great food and cold beers. The ambiance so family and kid friendly with cars on their lift. read more

2/10 burger. For reasons unbeknownst to me, this was the wettest burger I have ever eaten. I truly have no idea what the source of the liquid was. The volume of liquid makes it hard to believe it was burger "juice". The bun was so soggy, it was practically falling apart when it was served to me. Did they spill something on the plate before serving it? I don't know. I still ate it tho cause gosh dang it I paid for it. I got the house chips instead of fries, and those were great. Seasoned well. Nice n crispy. The staff was very kind; although, half way through the meal, the manager (?) came up to us and tried to sell us gift cards, which I thought was weird. The restaurant definitely has a corporate manufactured vibe, but I could see how it's an easy pick for big groups. I wouldn't go again because it's not my vibe and the food wasn't good enough to bring me back. I'm giving 3 stars because the staff was really nice. read more

Very disappointed. First time I've spoken critically about Ford's. But tonight's take-out of my absolute favorite Pulled Pork Nacho was almost embarrassing. Almost an hour wait. Poor excuses by the staff only then to get home to a cold entree with literally two small bites of pork. Love Ford's Garage but I can't see ordering take out again. read more

I've been to other locations had always been what we expected. It's not bad not great depending on your choices. It can be a bit noisy with a large bar and plenty of television sets to watch games. Service was good had to check on why an appetizer haven't come out but she was able to locate it. Decent menu choices especially if you like burgers. The French onion soup was good and the ahi tuna appetizer was good. The chicken tenders were hot and crisp but the homemade chips cold and stale. Replaced with an order of fresh tater tots. One suggestion don't sit facing the kitchen you might have second thoughts at times. Ignorance of bliss they say. read more

Ok first off even though Ford's is a chain I still like their burgers and they typically have a great selection of adult beverages. This location still offered the great selection of adult beverages of which I went with their Old Fashioned which was the high point of the meal. I had the classic burger and onion rings. I ordered the burger medium well and without lettuce. They were out of American cheese as well as tator tots and forget what else. The burger was at best medium rare and more towards the rare side. It was cold in the center. The service was also a bright spot as our server was exceptionally sweet and a lot of fun. So major deduct for being out of the basics and since the grill staff has no idea what medium well is. read more

Service was great, Drinks Are also great. But the food was only Ok, nothing special. Awesome Ambience read more

This is a favorite place...I really think their hamburgers are the most tasty and size-able. Jailene was our server and she was flawless. A very warm welcome and a fantastic experience. Did I mention the hamburgers? Oh yeah, and I am talking about even if you remove all the lettuce, tomato, etc...the burger is awesome. As a bonus, I also love the Jalapeño creamed corn. Great culinary idea!!! read more

Laura was amazing!!! Fast, efficient & gave great recommendations! Definitely will be back since the food is amazing

Held a corporate dinner at the location and they did their best to make it a special night. Comfortable seating, great ambience, service was top notch, friendly, and attentive. Food options were solid with great flavor. Beer was nice and cold with wide selection available. Most themed restaurants these days have flash but lackluster food and service. Ford's Garage breaks that norm by providing the best of everything while offering a unique Ford history- themed venue. We will definitely be back and recommend to friends and family. read more

Devin was an excellent server. He was knowledge about menu. We live Ford Garage. Will be back soon! 5 stars for sure read more

Finally got to try out Ford's Garage in Brandon for a casual lunch. The car theme was fun and we appreciated the big booths--the whole experience felt very nostalgic. Our waiter James was awesome! So attentive and kind. We got the jalapeno crunch burger and the mushroom swiss burger. Both were very good, but I was blown away by the jalapeno burger. Loved the grilled flavor on the meat with the sweet red onion marmalade, crispy fried onions, and the fresh crunch of the jalapenos. The mushroom burger was also very fresh, but needed more mushroom to get that savory flavor. We upgraded one of the sides to get onion rings (extra $2 charge). I'm not sure if it was a one-off, but the onion rings were super stale. I would not recommend them, but the fries were pretty good. Overall, great burgers and service! Would definitely come again. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner. Lots of tables open, no wait. Laura, our server, was right there taking our drink order.I ordered a special, the beer cheese pub burger, wife the fish and chips. The food came out promptly and was hot.....yes! My burger was huge, a half pound patty, pink in the middle just the way I like it, lettuce, tomato, pickles, beer cheese sauce, crispy onion straws all on a pretzel bun. It was so big I had to smash it down. Icut it in half and tried to eat side one but it turned into a big mess but that's ok with me, it was super good, hot and juicy. Laura came by to check if everything was ok and I told her my burger was a big mess but I loved it. What was a look of concern turned into a relieved smile. Wife's fish and chips good, crispy light batter, not greasy. Fries were outstanding. Definitely will be back for more. read more
