    Piston Onion Rings
    Megan R.

    We'd been seeing the ads for years at the museum, but we usually are there for evening events so we hadn't had an opportunity to visit until now. We will definitely be back - it's the perfect extension of the museum day with the fun decor, clever drink and appetizer names (cheese curbs!), and great service. The onion ring tower is so much fun! The fish and chips is definitely a highlight as well, along with the ahi bowl and the salmon.

    From the food it was amazing burgers and fries and other items that's a must to try here at the establishment ,also the restrooms are very clean organized, keep up the good work team .

    Hot pretzels with mustard and beer cheese

    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.

    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!

    I love the door handles

    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.

    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.

    What an experience!!! The details everywhere I turned made this place so unique and genuine. The food was amazing and priced reasonably. Our waiter was so sweet and attentive and suggested a local beer based on my taste and he was right on. If I'm ever back in town, I will for sure eat here again. I even bought a shirt and will wear it proudly in AZ!

    Solid choice for burgers, fun vibes and good service. Great decor too! Got the espresso martini to drink & it was sweet but good.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    Good sports viewing

    So dont take this as a negative review, My First review was…read more5 stars almost 5 years ago. I have been a fan of this restaurant for years, everywhere I went everyone I spoke to I always said wonderful things about the burgers here. So when I came back to Detroit visiting goodburger was first on the list and highly prioritized. Entered the restaurant, looked better and improved. Went to the counter, was greeted by the cashier, ordered burgers for my and my partner. Instead of fresh fountain I was given a can of diet soda even though their refills used to be free, didn't mind, sat down and started waiting for my food, the person who brought my food literally placed the tray on my table, mumbled few words in the mouth and left, no "enjoy the food" or "let me know if you need anything elsel". Mind you I paid 35 bucks for 2 burgers with 1 side of fries. I was not at the drive through of Mcdonalds. Anyways all of these things can be ignored if the food was upto the standard. The chicken piece inside the burger was over cooked, fries in the burger, pale and no flavor, bacon, smaller then a french fry, store bought cheese like it was slapped on top with zero love. I asked for mayo and it felt like they ran out of mayo and just took the last scoop and smacked it on my burger, kept looking for mayo, couldn't find it. The side of french fries was good. No sauces on the burger either. I am highly disappointed and I hope the management reads this and fixes these issues, as I would love to stay a regular customer and change my review back to 5 star. For now it's 1 star. By the way you can look at the pictures from my older order attached to this review

Mac n chz bites were ok, moz sticks were good, but the french fries were amazing. crispy! My boyfriend got a burger, which was huge and very tasty, myself i got a chicken bacon wrap which was far from disappointing. so many toppings, grilled crispy on the outside with great flavors. we left here beyond full. what i can appreciate as well, they have pepsi fountain products but know how some people prefer coke; so they sell sprite and coke cans if pepsi isn't your thing; which is very cool and shows awareness he wants you to enjoy what you prefer with the meals they offer. i did not have any room for a milkshake but those looks excellent of course. i don't live close to this place but next time i crave a wrap i will be stopping by again. Thanks for the hospitality and great food!
