High-Octane Burger with tater tots
Tiffany H.

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.

Exceptional atmosphere for automotive enthusiasts and the like! Plenty of nostalgia of a simpler time featuring old gas pumps and Model Ts. Service was superb as well as the food. Nice drink selection and TVs with sports on the channel. If you're looking for a unique place to take in your favorite game...this is it!

Salt! On the chicken nachos
Ann N.

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.

Was amazing great customer service And overall, really good food Definitely recommended

Ribs

We had a gift card here so we decided to try it out. The fried pickles were good and the cookie skillet was excellent. Everything else was very mediocre (Mac and cheese, ribs, PB burger). Probably won't be back.

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.

The bar and restaurant

The Restaurant was so cool. Model A cars on car jacks over the bar, engines the bathrooms were really cool and a must see. Staff was fabulous the food was great too we had the Bison Burger. We were impressed.

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

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.

Estate Burger
Pras L.

I had an Estate Burger, it was good overall, a little dry, but not bad. It's got a sweetness to it, which many of their burgers possess. My teen had the Jiffy burger which was swimming in peanut butter. The restaurant itself is themed like a Ford Museum and napkins are car shop rags (not literally) wrapped in c-clamps (cute little touches). Fun spot for pictures. Their Buffalo Chicken Dip was outstanding, Food choices and preparation were fine for a Themed-type restaurant, they change up their burgers monthly to keep it 'fresh' which is good. Plus, service is good, and kept the drinks refilled. The one element that kept my rating in the middle is that table service was long, I think we waited about 44 minutes for a few burgers which makes the experience less enjoyable. Though, the place is worth another visit sometime down the line.

This time I was in here for the shepherd's pie. From being here before, I'd seen someone else order it and noticed it comes in a mini cast iron; he serving option alone is already promising. The shepherd's pie is absolutely delicious, no notes. The mash on top was broiled with just enough crisp, so smooth and creamy underneath. The ground meat below was cooked hot with smoke, and every bite was hearty and rich, with noticeable touches of herb. I don't like peas, so the shepherd's pie here coming with carrots instead makes it even better for me, and the crispy shallots on top give an occasional crunch. So far I've tried three dishes here, and I've been happy with all of them. These dishes are the kind I'd come back for, but this really solidifies the impression that most, if not all, of the menu would be worth trying. Pair that with the friendly, attentive staff and the relaxing atmosphere, and this is for sure a top pick.

The menus were kind of old and a little soiled so if the food is good here I will never know because I wouldn't touch the menus. Sat at the bar and asked for the name of a beer they had on tap. She gave me a generic answer and it turns out she was right. It was just called Channelside IPA. Still the interaction wasn't very pleasant and in fact was a little awkward. Definitely didn't feel welcome. Also didn't help that I am naturally a smart Alec. All I know is we definitely didn't click. I settled in on a Smithwicks Red Ale. Finished my beer and promptly left. The experience was Meh. The beer was good though.

You have a Hot Chicken spot that is waiting for you to enjoy some good Nashville Style Chicken. If you haven't heard about Crossroads Hot Chicken, then you have to come visit them soon because you are definitely missing out.Had the pleasure of visiting them and trying out their Chicken Sandwich. Definitely a great spicy chicken sandwich just the way I like it. My family tried their Chicken Strips and Chicken Wrap and they were very satisfied with their meal. But one thing for sure don't miss out on their Banana Bread Pudding OMG! So satisfying!. One note I do want to add is that this local business as well as others in the same area are located in a section you can't easily see. The building is facing the opposite direction from the Street. So people easily pass the area without noticing the restaurants. But they are between Lolita's Restaurant and Strandhill Public when you arrive there.

Great local business if you love hot chicken…read more I've been wanting to try this place out for ages, but it's so specific (only chicken!) that I usually cannot convince my family to go. But today, I decided to do a Costco run and forego their food court, and try out Crossroad Hot Chicken by myself. I ordered online before heading over. Super easy. Food was ready 5 minutes before I got there and packed up well. I got the 3 piece chicken tenders, x-hot, with a side of the greens. The tenders were more like half a chicken breast each. Huge. Very succulent chicken, not dry at all. They were crispy and very spicy. I'm part Thai. After a few bites, I was wishing that I had ordered the mac and cheese instead to help offset the spice, but I persevered. The greens were good, very smoky tasting, but they were overwhelmed by the spicy chicken, so I only recommend them if you get the mild or medium chicken. Really nice staff at the restaurant. While I got my food to go, the sitting area seemed nice and comfortable for a casual meal.

This place has just completely gone down hill. I recommend anyone wanting to substitute items in the omelette just do build your own and take the difference out of the tip. If this establishment wants to be this petty I'll tip accordingly. I'm super dissatisfied and disappointed in this place.

I had the mushroom burger, which was absolutely delicious, especially with the raspberry spicy sauce served on the side. The French fries were loaded with bacon, cheese, and green onions, and they were fantastic. My wife had the baby back ribs as a starter, and she really enjoyed them as well. We did experience some service issues at the beginning of our visit. We waited approximately 15-20 minutes before anyone came to serve us. When we finally ordered our drinks, we were initially given water instead of the drinks we requested. Our server, Vicky, seemed a little distracted during her shift. We also noticed another table waiting for their drinks to be taken out after they had finished their meal. Vicky appeared visibly frustrated while carrying the tray, and one of the drinks spilled. We even saw some other guests leave because of the wait. That being said, Vicky was very pleasant when we interacted with her, and we understand that everyone can have an off day. Hopefully, this can be viewed as an opportunity to stay just a little more focused and attentive to the customers at the tables. Then Blake, the manager, completely turned our experience around! Blake was extremely welcoming, friendly, funny, and genuinely concerned about making sure my wife and I were taken care of. He smiled, communicated with us, listened to our concerns, stood there and made sure we were comfortable, and even went to the back himself to help get our order. Blake is definitely an asset to the Bubba's 33 organization. His willingness to personally step in and take care of us made all the difference. He left us with smiles on our faces and feeling extremely satisfied. Blake offered us a discount on our meal, which we did accept, and he also asked if we wanted to take additional food home with us. We initially declined the takeout offer. However, after the great experience we had with Blake and how professionally and genuinely he handled everything, my wife and I decided to order additional food and pay for it ourselves to take home to our two adult children who were at home. What started with some disappointing service issues ended with us feeling valued and appreciated as customers. Mistakes can happen anywhere, but what really matters is how a business responds to those mistakes. Blake handled the situation exceptionally well and made a tremendous difference in our overall experience. We left Bubba's 33 with full stomachs, smiles on our faces, and a genuine appreciation for Blake's hospitality and professionalism. We will definitely be coming back to Bubba's 33--not only because of the phenomenal food, but because of Blake. He is truly an asset to the organization! Thank you, Blake, for taking such great care of my wife and me. We sincerely appreciate everything you did!
