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
Gidget F.

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.

Entertaining music, cheap drinks, bar snacks, games and locals. The bartender was attentive and friendly, sharing some specials with us and talking with some regulars. I went on a Wednesday night so it was empty for the most part however, I was told to come back on a Friday night or Taco Tuesday night for live music and more of a crowd. I personally enjoy a less busy environment to wind down and enjoy a few beers with my friends so if you're looking for that, check them out on a less busy night. Open till 3am!

Tonight at 9:30 the bartender said everybody who plays has to all buy a drink even if it's a $2 water. Meanwhile, he said that normal nights the game is $1.50. Nobody was in the bar other than him and one other person that seemed to be his friend. One of our friends bought a drink when we first came in but he was especially rude for no reason. We don't know the name of the bartender but it was a large dark skin man we hadn't seen before. Do not recommend if you're young. They also don't have liquor or cocktails just cans and glasses of beer/seltzers. I never leave reviews but for no reason and completely unprovoked we were immediately treated with disrespect and unprofessional behavior.
