Hot pretzels with mustard and beer cheese
Ebenezer's Anni L.

Still don't have enough handicap parking so I can really only come at lunch time so I can find a close to the door parking. I was able to get a regular table after turning down a place at the bar and high top table. But then I wait and waited for a waitress so after 5 minutes I flagged down a passing one. She did tell me she would get someone but took my drink order. Since I am a light eater and getting a free appetizer, I just ordered a bowl of tomato bisque soup and the hot pretzels appetizer. A little more wait, and both was brought out together. I ate one of the pretzels with my soup and took the rest home. The soup was the most spicy tomato bisque soup I have ever eaten. Service didn't really get much better even with the place not busy and with enough staff. Not sure when I might be back but I do like the Monte Cristo sandwich.

Tomato Tomato Basil Soup

I came in here on a Friday at 3pm. We were seated immediately. The restaurant was clean as well as the restrooms. Our waitress was great. Overall, I liked the restaurant theme. The restroom had fuel caps on the sink and I also liked that the hot water came out of the sink immediately. Most places it's cold water. The food that I had was really delicious and well seasoned. The prices were great too! I'd return!

Ford burger and fries
Yolanda A.

3 ladies and I went on a Saturday afternoon. Lots of ppl waiting to be seated but lots of empty tables. Our server was very nice and personable but had to leave due to illness. It took forever for our food to be served. Mine mushroom Swiss burger was supposed to be medium rare. It was well done. Server removed it to be done as I ordered. Approx. 30 minutes later, the manager brought my burger, still not medium rare. Also, my friends were done eating. I was not happy but the manager left it on the table and removed it from my bill. Everyone else enjoyed their meal. The bathroom is really nice with the basins made of tires. The entire restaurant is designed very nice with antique displays from the old Ford era.

I enjoy coming here with my family before I board my train at the station right next door. This place is very popular and busy so I highly recommend a reservation during the weekend. The entrance area is often full of people waiting. Thankfully they have a large parking lot to accommodate the crowds. Excellent service from Ashley tonight! She was very attentive, kind, and helpful. Fun decor! Old Ford model cars, tires for sinks in the bathroom, gas station pump handles as door handles--I love it! The bathroom stalls are quite spacious, which is very nice, but the toilets feel low to the ground. Really good food! The onion ring tower is so fun, presented on a gas funnel. The onion rings are crispy, flavorful and addictive! And they're not greasy. The wings are so good too! Excellent burgers, fries, and tater tots. I really enjoyed my shrimp bowl. The shrimp was perfectly grilled and presented over rice and veggies, and sprinkled with a tasty dressing. I tend to order the dishes with shrimp, such as the famous Firestone shrimp, and they've all been great. My aunt thought her Blackened Salmon salad was just okay. The salmon was lukewarm. My mom loved her black and blue burger and her fries were seasoned really well and crispy. My uncle had a burger bowl and loved the burger patty on top. He also said he enjoyed the salad dressing, which he said tasted like Big Mac sauce. The French onion soup is another favorite for me and my mom. Full bar service. Delicious beers and cocktails. Fun atmosphere.

Hand-Battered Chicken Tenders
Jessica H.

Server Stephanie very friendly and attentive. Fast service. Meatloaf was delicious. My friend got chicken tenders and same reaction - delicious. Clean location. Greeters were both friendly when we arrived as well as when we left. Ambiance so decorative and fitting. Can't wait to try other dishes.

The food was great. My friends had two of the most popular sandwiches, which, although they took a bit long to come (probably since the restaurant was packed to the brim), they tasted amazing. The service was fantastic. The waiters were super friendly and offered my friend a sample of a shot after he expressed interest in it. I also really liked how the restaurant itself looked, both inside and out. It's obviously a car themed restaurant so there were really cool little things like the door handle being a nozzle, the sink being a tire, and some other stuff. That's also besides the really cool cars outside. All in all, great experience!

Laura D.

The vibe inside is very nice, the car theme is a smmmiiiidge over the top, but overall, it's expected and I enjoyed it. Beer selection was good. Menu is large, enough options for everybody. I loved how you could upgrade to chicken on the burgers, so many places don't let you do that and I almost exclusively eat chicken sandwiches. I got the brisket burger, with chicken. Sadly the chicken was a bit skimpy and very tough... think overcooked with a more crispy exterior. It tasted like a pretzel bun, which I don't love, and it said it came with brioche, but maybe their brioche is pretzely. Taking away 1 star mostly for that chicken. Otherwise the food was good and I don't think many complaints from our party. The waitress was very nice. I would definitely go again.

Berries & Gorgonzola with Shrimp
Dawn V.

My favorite menu item is probably the Gorgonzola Shrimp and Berry Salad- it's very possible to eat healthy or non-meat here - they also have a veg burger that's pretty good Service is always good here- I've sat at the bar, come with my family and also with a group in a private room in the back end and service was great everywhere

Inside
Beth S.

Wow, this place is amazing. Wonderful, spectacular! Originally from Detroit, my parents wanted to make the plane ride from Arizona to Detroit. They wanted to meet up with some of their friends at a local restaurant. Hands-down Ford's garage was the perfect place. From the food to the atmosphere to the service everything was impeccable. We had a large group which they quickly accommodated. The ambience was above average. Although this restaurant is not owned by Ford, it is across from the Ford headquarters in Dearborn. From the model T hanging in the bar to the tire and wheel sinks in the bathroom whoever designed this restaurant left no detail un thought of. I got the feeling I was in an old garage. The food was just as pleasing to my taste buds as the decor was to my eyes. I had the Henry chicken. It was a grilled chicken breast with goat cheese and a lemon bur Blanc with sun-dried tomatoes. It was served with a side of mashed potatoes. A few at the table had burgers. Once again, the attention to detail was out of this world. You can see on my photos below that the Ford symbol was branded into the top of the bun. All of the staff were kind and gave great recommendations. They literally said everything on the menu was good and with the amount of people at our table there was definitely an opportunity to try pretty much everything on the menu. Hands-down, everything was great! Thank you so much for giving my parents an amazing experience with several of their friends that I and they will never forget.

Good sports viewing
Roger M.

So much fun, even for a die hard GM man, If you love cars, don't miss this place, when you come, don't just sit in your seat, eat, and leave, be sure to walk around and check out all their relics,. And if you're a mechanic, check the merchandise. Love the menu, I had chicken and waffles with syrup and bacon all combined, awesome. Everything has their special take.

Katie D.

This was my first visit to Ford's Garage and I quite enjoyed it. I loved all the decor and the restaurant theme. I ordered the Blackened Salmon Salad with the lime vinegarette and the piece of salmon I recieved was cooked well and it was a generous portion. Our server, Christina, was also really nice and attentive. Everyone I was with seemed to enjoy their food as well, especially the fries!

The Mushroom Swiss
Tabitha H.

The place was hopping. There was a private event going on. We were seated right away after being told we would have a wait. We started with pretzel sticks, my only complaint is I would have liked more cheese. The waitress brought a taste of a beer I wanted to try. That was nice. The mushroom Swiss was good, and cooked correctly. The portion of cheese and mushrooms was spot on. The Cobb salad was really big. The French onion soup was delicious. It had so much flavor. The place was loud but fun. Their computer system ended up going down so checking out was a lengthy process.

Britane B.

The food was good and right on time not to long of a wait. The service was good and very nice. The ambiance was cool neat to see the Ford cars and such but I didn't like Where we sat. Overall

We ordered the brisket loaded fries and a brisket sandwich. The smell of smoke permeated the car…read moreand had our mouths watering on the ride home. They were both delicious. I could taste the smoke in every bite and the rub was flavorful. (A tad off on the rub but that's just my tastebuds so can't hold it against them) I was happy to have finally found a place this good so close to home. THIS would be our regular place. Now the sad part. As soon as I finished eating I looked online to see if they had a website and a Yelp page so I could leave a flowing review. What I happened upon first was their instagram page with dozens of photos of their food. I couldn't wait to return. Then I came across the picture I posted. Words were difficult at first. I can sympathize with both sides of the conflict, but, I eat out to take a break from the world in a sense. I don't want any restaurants political opinions shoved on me. Of course they are certainly within their rights to do so, however, I wanted a sandwich and a nice evening with my grandson. Not to be reminded of the senseless and brutal atrocities inflicted on another human being - whether they be Palestinian or Israeli. I cry when I see the little ones being carried out on stretchers in Gaza. They don't understand why their safe happy world is torn apart. The same holds true for the women that were savagely raped a week earlier in Israel - and the babies put in microwaves! I won't be back at BigReds and their politics is the reason. I just wanted to enjoy dinner but I was left with a bad taste in my mouth. P.S. - like the other review I also noticed my card was charged more than what my food was.

Well well well.. where do I start? I came across a TikTok video of a young lady sharing her…read moreexperience. It was terrible. She was charged $60 and had food missing. What's worse is how it was handled by the owner or operator. First, he accused her of lying.. then, he accused her of wanting free food... only to then come back and say that they watched the cameras and she did not receive all of her food... so which is it? Then turned around again and said she was right and they'd refund her... y'all knew you were wrong from the beginning. Customer service is lost upon this business.. save your money and time and go somewhere else.. i'd also like to note that there are a total of 8 videos where she is RESPONDING to the unprofessional comments left by this "business". Y'all need to do better.

This little diner is warm, cozy, and inviting. It's a great spot for classic Greek American dining. We both ordered the chicken gyro with a cup of chicken lemon rice soup- chefs kiss! The gyro came out fast, hot, flavorful, and delicious. The bread was soft, the veggies were crisp, and their tzatziki is cool and creamy, with flavor enhancing herbs. Another great thing about this spot? They're consistent. It's humble, clean, pretty and bright inside. It's a great place to come with your family, colleagues, friends, or a date at any age!

They have the best chicken noodle soup, tzatziki sauce which I love to dip my fries in. My server, Jacqui, also brought me a Greek dressing to try with my fries (like she does) and it was delicious too! "It's made with some beet juice that's why it's pink." It had a bit sweeter taste, but fresh and I was also spooning some onto my gyro. But no matter who is my server I always receive: professional, friendly and attentive service. All staff are this way, from welcoming you walking in, clearing tables, refilling drinks and cashing out, they're focused on you enjoying your visit. Which is a testament to why they're celebrating 30 years this year!
