This place was just okay. Service was good. Food was standard fare and servings were huge--too big, in my opinion. It is a regional chain--definitely has a chain feel. Decor is very thematic to the Ford cars, which was fun, but also not exactly novel. It was happy hour while we were there, so drinks were on sale. Good selection of drinks. Fried pickle appetizer was good. I had the signature Ford burger cooked medium well, but it was still quite pink---I'd say it looked more medium or medium rare even and I do typically like a little pinkness. Not a bad dining experience, but I wouldn't put it on my list to visit again. Felt too standard chain restaurant to me. read more

Nice location with both seating on the street and at windows on the street. Good food and good service. Would definitely go again. read more

Fun stop that the family (with two teenagers) enjoyed. Wasn't crowded for a late night dinner and the ambience was pretty cool. Food was good, even if there were several mistakes by the kitchen on our order. Server said the kitchen must be tired! read more

Ford's Garage supplied great food and service. Awesome restaurant with some very cool decor.

I went on 4/19/2019, was busy and the wait was about 20 minutes. Outside seating was closed because of rain. My waitress came right over and was pleasant. We were asked if we wanted any appetizers and I ordered the French onion soup. I ordered the Ford's burger and the wife the American Burger. Both came out as ordered. What I did not like was that the appetizer (French onion soup) came out after the burgers came out. Nothing like trying to eat hot soup and switching to the burger getting cold. Have to give it one star because a good waitress would manage her tables. Guest number 80059 read more

The food here is really good there's lots of burger options. This is one of my go to restaurants.

My bacon hamburger with sauted onions was delicious. My girlfriend had the Impossible Burger where the vegetarian ingredients tasted exactly like meat. The revolutionary idea about Ford's Garage is that it serves whole wheat buns. Such a simple accommodation but rare in most establishments. Will definitely return, especially to watch the Heat play again read more

I gave this place 2 -stars based on the food being actually pretty good. However, the service makes this place awful! the hostesses are completely rude and one time completely ignored us when we talked her. The actual food servers are hit and miss. I hope that someone in management figures this out we live so close and would come 3 nights a week. When we do brave ourselves to go it's sometimes almost comical at how rude the staff is. read more

What a neat restaurant. The burgers are really good, the fries are tasty. I would recommend this as a must do, even if you like Chevy instead. read more

Great food and atmosphere! Waitress dropped our French fries, salvaged about half of them, and didn't replace the spilled ones. Bizarre and disappointing behavior on her part. But we will be back, and we will hope for a different server! read more

I have been to Cape Coral and Downtown Fort Myers' Ford's locations and have always been pleased. However, tonight we went to the one at Miromar and were seriously disappointed in the service we received. Bianca, our bartender was clearly dissatisfied with having customers walk in at 9:45 to sit at her bar that closes at 11pm. She paid more attention to her boyfriend (or significant other/person of interest) to our left, than actual paying customers. We tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, being a previous server myself, until she again, looked and acted like we were some kind of inconvenience to her. It was such a disappointment and we will not be returning. read more

Burgers are best in class. Servers are friendly and atmosphere is fun. Recommend for anyone wanting a great casual meal experience

Really busy on the Friday after the holiday. We were really impressed with their table paging system which sends you a text message when it's your turn to be seated. We were told it would take up to a half hour to be seated, but because we weren't picky about where we sat(inside or out), we were actually seated in under 10 minutes. The atmosphere was very cool with various truck, car and gas station paraphernalia. Check out the restroom sinks for some interesting conversation later. Was worried that our meal would be all atmosphere and no substance. However the burgers were surprisingly tasty as well as a bit messy. And while we didn't taste them, we saw and smelled some amazing looking soft pretzels. Good food and a fun atmosphere. Iwill put this on my "try again" list if I am ever in the area again. read more

Ate dinner here for the first time ever, NO WAIT TIME ON A MONDAY NIGHT. Our server was very attentive & the theme inside the restaurant was really cute. Our burgers were nice and fresh, my sons chicken was great also ( truffle fries are the way to go ). $40 for a family of 3 ( no alcohol ) not bad, even though it's just burgers your paying for the atmosphere and the location. read more

Way to be Fords. You were so good to us last year when we vacationed. We talk up about how good the food is and it was a huge fail. Decently busy but plenty of seating for 8:30pm on a Tuesday. Poor woman in front of us waited 10 minutes to even be acknowledged. When she finally was seated, it was with a rude "how many in your party" no hello, sorry, nothing. The server/hostess/bartender who sat her couldn't have missed our party of 5 waiting right behind her... but she did. We waited another 5-10 minutes and still didn't get seated, get a quick wave, or a "so sorry we'll be right with you". We're a cool crowd that would have had a hearty bill. However, we're leaving hungry and taking our empty stomachs elsewhere. Sorry to inconvenience you guys with our business! read more

Food is good and this location does get busy because it's in a mall, especially when Florida is "in season" and busy with tourist. My only and greatest complaint is that they allow smoking in the outside seating area. NOT COOL and very unpleasant to have to breathe second hand smoke and while you are trying to eat? It's not like there is a choice to sit away from a smoker, there usually isn't when the restaurant is busy. Because of the smoking we won't be going back. read more

The food is decent. The decorations make the visit. The menu hasn't really changed since they opened, but I guess that is fine for a place like this. read more

We love Fords. They have amazing wings. The pulled pork nachos are great and if you like sweet potato tots this is your place. We have visited both locations in Ft Myers and our favorite in Cape Coral. read more

Update: ordered the pretzels to.go, wife went to the bathroom and it was so gross there was period blood on the floor - fast forward, the pretzels were burnt..... read more

Fried pickles! And yummy burgers. The side of Mac n Cheese was missing something.. even after I sprinkled some salt, pepper & hot sauce on it. Rather busy around noon but sure outlets add to this. I don't need to see so much cleavage but the retirees seem to enjoy it. read more

Ok food. The sashimi was good. Dinner did take a really long time to be served. Cute restaurant and nice location.

I have dined here twice now and the food is just ok, the atmosphere is alright. It is the best dining option at the Miramar Outlets but that isn't saying much. The Bloody Mary is really good and one of the best I've had in SW Florida. The fried pickles have a thick batter on them almost like a light pancake batter, wouldn't recommend. The pretzels are good with the cheese sauce they're served with. read more

What a great place for a Saturday lunch! My wife and daughter thought the sinks were the best thing there besides he burgers. Speaking of....the 3 of us had burgers and fries and They were really good. The burger was cooked on a grill and not a skillet like many places do. We will come here again if in he west coast! read more

Happy to get a great taste of my home Michigan! Never had a bad meal here. Wish some appetizers were bigger like the pickles but the pretzels and onion rings haven't ever disappointed! read more

Horrible!! Food and service. Will not go back. This was our third attempt for a better experience but unfortunately did not work out. Our server was not very pleasant. The food did not taste fresh. Great location! Horrible experience. Two hours wasted. read more

Good food and great service !!! amazing love this place Ford garage my family love it

Great burgers and other food. Bar is well stocked also. Being near the outlets makes it a great place to eat and shop or shop then eat. We like it here read more

Waitress was excellent, first chips we received with our buffalo chicken dip were stale, waitress was all over and replaced immediately, green beans with food didn't appear to be cooked, meatloaf was tough, french fries on my friends plate cold. The folks next to us sent their FF back twice. The 3 is for the excellent waitress read more

Food was fine but the service was garbage. We had to wait 10 minutes for drink, our food took forever. Drinks were never refilled. When I asked a question our server was sassy and she was pretty much nonexistent the entire meal. Probably won't be back until the service gets better. read more

The food here sucks gave it a 2 for the way it looked had the pulled pork may have been store bought my son had a burger he said it was ok since he works in a restaurant nothing special my wife had the cod most of it she had throne away was breading she said it didn't have much taste won't be going back read more

Great food. Good, clean atmosphere. Friendly staff. What more could you ask for? Cranberry gorgonzola salad is amazing. I literally crave it. Add chicken, and you have yourself a complete meal. Their Bloody Marys are the perfect Sunday brunch drink. read more

Sometimes gets a little noisy inside but the angus burger and onion rings bring me back. The bar has a refrigerated track that keeps your drink cold. Enjoy a lunch and walk off some of the calories shopping through the outdoor mall. read more

We stopped in for dinner while at the outlet mall. The Angus burger was very good. Our bartender/ waiter, Wyatt, definitely hustled. He made good recommendations, checked in just often enough and took good care of everyone at the bar. My husband liked his sirloin and my burger was very good. The theme was cool and the tvs for watching games were very nice. I forgot to mention that my favorite part was the strip of ice, surrounding the entire bar that keeps your drink cold! read more

Unique garage theme that we love to show citing friends and family. Outdoor seating and bar are great. Excellent Burgers!

Awesome place with great food and atmosphere...I stop here every time I roll through town!

Very unique restaurant. All based on ford motor vehicles. Decor is very cool to look at. Burgers were great.

Food was ok, staff was busy because it was season, nice atmosphere except for the music was a bit loud.

Another awesome local SWFL restaurant. I wasn't sure what to expect the first time I walked into the Ford's Garage in Miromar Plaza. The décor/atmosphere was completely over the top, which usually means that the food was going to be okay at best. I was completely blown away! My wife, kids and I have had nearly everything on the menu, and we have been coming back regularly every time we're in town (all winter). We recommend the mac and cheeses, and the Ford's Signature burger. My son asks the bartender to "honk the horn" of the car above the bar, which makes real car noises, lights and "exhaust". That makes his day every time. read more
