    I love the door handles
    Leslie C.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    Mama Ford's Homemade Meatloaf With two sides - Broccoli and Ford's Classic Tots
    Anna V.

    Easy to make a reservation online for our large party of 7, it was quite crowded for a Thursday night so I would recommend it for dinner! Nice, friendly service and large menu. Kids menu was provided along with some crayons and his food came out first and super fast - which was appreciated! My meatloaf was yummy, soft and flavorful along with the sides. Burgers were cooked to temp, the filet was a bit overdone but not so bad that it was sent back. We had to ask once for water refilled but overall quick and good service. It was a decent meal, and better than I expected as sometimes these themed restaurants just have "meh" food. Good for big Ford fanatics and car enthusiasts. Private parking lots Good clean bathrooms PROTIP: Sign up for the Ford Garage app or club and get a free appetizer (useable on first visit!) and points for your visit!

    Ford's Classic Wings
    Alayah H.

    I loved it here! Even though it was a chain restaurant it doesn't give that feel. The food is really good. There was anything we had that was just mid. The wings were fire. The shrimp was fire. The cheese curds were amazing too. The kicker is they say the burgers are good and it sure was fire! I actually got a turkey burger subs for beef and was worried it would be dry but it was so juicy! For my drink I got a beer flight. They have a cruelty of options for drinks including cocktails etc. so many options! Service was quick as well. We didn't wait for our food longs at all!

    101 burger
    Janet H.

    Lunch with friends. Reserved. I had the "101" burger well done. It was not. I don't send my food back for correction therefore no opinion other than it looked good. Fries, onion rings tower and fried pickle spears were good. Staff very attentive with service. Atmosphere was typical lunch crowd. Fairly quiet. The antique vehicle theme was worth the visit.
