My husband had eaten at the Ford's Garage in Cape Coral and really liked it, so when we went to Miramar Outlets we decided to have a late lunch here. What a cute place - great service and really good food. It was a nice day, so we were happy they could seat us outside. I had the Chicken Henry - loved the sauce and the white cheddar mashed potatoes. The green beans were the best I have ever had out - usually they are overcooked, but not here. Fresh and crisp. My husband had the Ford's Signature Burger - he's a BBQ fan. They even honked the Model T horn for us! They carry the car theme throughout very well - even in the bathrooms. Very fun. We'll be back. read more

Another burger place....... interesting decor, and set up.... food is average. So if looking to drink and eat a burger, within a larger party of people this place will meet your needs..... read more

The music is sooo loud you can't even hear what the waitress is trying to tell you. We asked twice if they would turn it down but they never did. We then asked if we could sit outside because the music was so loud and they told us we would have to go back on the waiting list!! Two of us ordered the brisket sandwich and it came out as a burger with once slice of brisket on top and the burger had no taste at all, we had to ask for barbecue sauce. Had to ask for silverware read more

Stopped in on Saturday to have a bite with my wife. We shared the shredded chicken nachos and I had a beer. Very happy with the service and the nachos were delicious! Will be going back very soon. read more

The staff are nice and they have 150 beers on tap!! Nice full bar, booths and tables and did I mention 150 beers on tap? Had the double stack, 2 x 1/3 lb patties and the works cooked perfectly medium. Wife had the Cali and she said outstanding and cooked perfectly medium. Had one of the 150 beers too, nice and cold. Keylime pie 2 thumbs up but on the small side. Lexi is a great server. We will be back again. read more

Loved the atmosphere. The restaurant is decorated with vintage cars and car parts and has the appearance of an antique auto shop. Cool picture spots for tourists in the area. Service was great. Food taste and presentation was great, though a little pricey for burgers and salad. Try the Sea Dog blueberry beer!! read more

Ford's Garage Estero - Can't remember the name of this burger... Four-something. Our whole table got a kick out of the stamp in the bun. Super cool!! - Bars Near Me - Estero, Florida

Super fun burger joint! Everything is car-themed including the bathroom sinks!! Really fun vibe, very chill servers and tasty food. We shared the giant onion rings and they rocked. They come with a chipotle ketchup that's awesome. I had the mushroom Swiss burger and loved it! Cooked perfectly and very good. Came with crispy and delicious fries. Everyone loved their burgers in the group. The tots were also a hit. They have a great beer selection. A definite must stop for groups. It's also really kid friendly. read more

26 beers on tap including some local Fort Meyers brews and over a dozen seasonal ales!! For some I can just leave it at that. Ford's Garage is a good place to just kick back for a drinks and snacks or a casual din after a day of shopping at the outlets located right there in the same shopping center. We all chose the build your own burger option. Way fun! There's something for everyone including gluten free and vegan patrons. Buffalo, ahi tuna, lamb, Kobe beef, chicken, turkey, black Angus and my choice, the grilled portobello cap. Almost a dozen cheeses, over a dozen sauces including their famous "boom boom sauce". There are fun toppings, some at additional costs but not outrageous. Unique stand outs were the jambalaya, black Angus chili and the white truffle bacon. Don't worry fellow veg-heads, there's plenty of avocado, arugula, even peanut butter as some of the options for us. The lettuce wrap is a good option for the calorie conscious or gluten free patrons and the pretzel bun for the more semi-adventurous. We all enjoyed eating and creating our own meals! We sampled a few tasty brews...The Funky Buddha Sweet Potato brew and the Rouge Voodoo doughnut were both winners. The design of the place is great! The car theme is so creatively carried the throughout the space! Don't miss the sinks in the restrooms! Prices were fair. Service was good. My parents came separately for apps and drinks and enjoyed their stop by here as well. Give it a go when in the area. 3.5 stars read more

****UPDATE**** It makes me happy when a review is heard and something is done, I just want to let people know that a representative from Ford's Garage responded to my review almost immediately and talked to me about my experience. They have let me know they were glad to know there was an issue and let me know they like to hear from their customers. **** The service at the outside bar was less than stellar on a Friday afternoon. He was less than attentive and seemed disgusted when I didn't know what I wanted to drink other than water for the moment. Finally got my food order (fish and chips) in and when it finally came out my fish was hardly edible and was in one huge piece - maybe the way they do it but not what I was expecting and was not described on the menu as such. I knew there were potato wedges instead of typical french fries but tried to look past that when ordering (just not what I'm used to for fish and chips). When asked how my meal was, I said it wasn't that great. This seemed to be a tough response for him as he seemed to be somewhat speechless but just walked away instead of inquiring further. Overall I don't mind this place if I am with a group of people but it is never my first choice (their burgers are pretty tasty). The theme is a fun garage type atmosphere with gas pumps and different oddities around the restaurant. Be sure to make sure you are in the correct restroom before you walk back into the restaurant. read more

Solid choice! When you need good comfort food and drinks to help you extend the amazing shopping at Miramar Outlets.

Love the burgers from this spot. We used to dine in, but since we found them on Uber Eats we have only ordered to go.

Horrible Long wait. Food was barely warm. Although the manager did apologize and deducted the cost from the bill, I don't think any of us will ever go back read more

Great meal, reasonable price! Our waitress "Cami" was fabulous!! I would recommend highly!

Food is always good, atmosphere is great. The prices have increased which is not bad but the portions ridiculously small.

Love going to this restaurant, the burgers are good, and they have extensive draft and bottle beer list, even though 90% of the beer they have listed I order they are out of. Other than that, this place is themed very well with garage props, including the restrooms. read more

Really good place,good service and amazing burgers,probably the best what I ever tried in USA for sure.and also it's pretty good inside just kinda of too noisy. read more

Great burgers!!! Great atmosphere!!! Everything is delicious and the drinks are always changing and perfect

Food was pretty good, but our server had attitude from the get go. He walked past our table numerous times, ignoring the need a refill. I actually had to call out to him to finally get his attention, since he kept overlooking us for larger, higher tab table. At this point, I would fall all over myself to be apologetic. But our server? Nothing but attitude. Don't have plans to return. read more

I don't really have anything overly positive or negative to say about this place. It's a place where you can eat food if you need to. You'll probably be neither impressed nor upset. It's just pretty meh. read more

Great burgers, service good, bar food ambiance. Sweet potato fries hit the spot. I think they have malts/shakes. More fun when not packed with tourists. I like to go when I'm in the area. Usually a turkey burger is my favorite. You'll not be disappointed. read more

I've been here loads of times, and the food is always delicious! The Chicken Henry is my go-to. Would recommend it!

Had an incredible time dining today with my family. We were sat next to the adorable truck outside. Although we caught the busy lunch rush max was a charming and attentive server. We ordered diverse set of entrees and not one platter fell short of exceptional. Thank you Ford's and Max for a meal to remember. read more

We come here first thing after getting off the plane from Rhode Island. It's our annual tradition and it does not disappoint!!! Please check out the tower of onion rings. read more

We just finished dinner. Our server Lindsay was the best server I have had anywhere in MONTHS. Kind, knowledgeable, and efficient. So much so that I asked for the manager just to compliment her. The manager was also very kind. We had AMAZING food. The onion ring stack was to die for and all dinner food (multiple burgers and some tenders, French onion soup) was delicious. I am a foodie and normally HATE chains but this is TOP notch and will be a frequent stop for this family new to SWFL. read more

Upgrading the rating from a 2/5 to a 4/5. The experience was a big improvement over the last time we were here. The food was much better and we didn't run into a bunch of different service problems. Food was slow to come out but it was tasty. read more

Great food great atmosphere average servers but the food makes up for it. Reasonable price

Angie Rose was our wonderful waitress. The fish and chips were wonderful. The fish filet was huge and cooked to perfection. The sushi grade ahi tuna was delicious. We will definitely order that again. For a little while this past year the wait staff were less than pleasant and left you with ever asking if you needed anything or if you even needed a refill on your drinks. The fish was greasy but now its delicious again. Our waitress, Angie was all smiles, attentive and honestly a pleasure. Im so glad the food is good again. read more

Who owns this location? I usually love Ford's Garage, I've been to the others several times... and I think this one once before, sitting at the outside bar. But I'm alone this time, and this experience has been ridiculous. I get that because I'm alone and even with my dinner and 2 beers a relatively a small bar tab. But I've been here for over an hour and a half and only acknowledged 4x which is why I've only had 1 food item and 2 beers. It took me 4 tries to shout down someone just to get the dressing that was supposed to come with my salad. I've been getting dirty, nasty looks since. (And I didn't even complain! I just said I really needed the dressing.) They're not busy at all - they're literally standing around, and disappearing occasionally. But like I said, I'm a cheap tab. Another customer just walked out. I'm shocked this is who they would hire at what's otherwise a really good chain. I guess the pickings really are slim. I've never felt so ignored. Star rating for this location ONLY. read more

i advise diners to avoid the outside dining area. Look closely at the pavers , the stucco walls and the windows. There are bird droppings galore on the Al Fresco patio. Ugh! very insightful and unsanitary for diners! read more

I have been here many times before. Today was a particularly lovely experience. Rose was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the chicken tenders for the first time and was very pleasantly surprised. The tenders were crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, and very well seasoned. I got the fries that come with them and those were OK. They could have been a little more seasoned for my taste. The atmosphere was delightful as we sat outside and the weather was perfect. read more

I had so much fun at Ford's Garage! Earlier in the day, Mark A. & I took a visit to Ford's home, so of course we had to come to Ford's Garage to stick with the theme. And this restaurant sure has an awesome theme! The door handles are gas pump handles. There is a car table outside. There's a car above the bar that occasionally will have smoke come out of it just for fun. The servers wear mechanic-type tops. I almost wanted to buy one for myself. The burger was LARGE, juicy, and cheesy. We also ordered the truffle parm fries, which were great. We had a friendly server, who led me to a wonderful discovery of Kopperberg strawberry lime cider. So very thankful for her because it tasted amazing! It's like drinking strawberry soda! The food here was great. The beer selection is great. And my experience was great. Love it! read more

Ford's Garage Estero - sinks in the bathroom are so cool! LOVE the theme & details of this restaurant! - Bars Near Me - Estero, Florida

The customer service was not very good. Walked in and it was empty and said a 5 minute wait instead of just sitting us which didn't bother me too much. But the waiter was extremely slow and did not pit effort to be kind. The food was also just average but a decent price. read more

I have enjoyed this place for 4 years and never had a problem. Last visit was horrible! I found hair in my burger and the waiter acted like it was no big deal. He reluctantly asked his supervisor for a meal credit as he reminded me the tip should be on the full amount of the check. I did tip him appropriately but found his response to be out of line. Maybe just a bad day for this place as it was busy and understaffed. Not sure i9f I will be taking my family back anytime soon. read more

I rarely give 5s This place was great. It's at an outlet mall so you might be surprised. We were drawn by the beer title in their name. Huge selection of beer in bottles. See my pics. Drafts were a little low on selection. I had the Sierra Nevada torpedo. Excellent hoppy beer. The bartender was very nice. She was about busy but got help later on. The place is full of ford stuff - of course. The Kobe beef burger was top notch. I had patty melt at the suggestion of the bar back? Excellent choice. Desert was top notch. Key lime pie was the way it is supposed to be made. Overall, excellent experience. I would recommend to this place. read more

Worst experience ever! Waited an hour for Buffalo chicken dip sitting at the bar. $14 bill. Manager offered to take $3 off. Inadequate response in my opinion. If you're going shopping here, better eat before you get here! read more

First off the food was awesome! I had a jiffy burger and it rocked! Never had a peanut butter burger before but it is a lot better than it sounds! The atmosphere was very nostalgic and fun! Did not know they had one of these in Michigan by me. We're back in the area I will return to Ford's garage and when I return home! read more
