    Love how creative this food and beverage experience is from the time you walk in, to using the restroom to leaving! Everything is so well thought out I always come back and have to try something new every-time I come! Ambiance is sTOP tier and love the hanging car! Service at the outside bar wasn't very friendly today but every other time our service has been amazing.

    Thai Chicken Salad

    Burger was flavorful but pretty small, fries were a very small serving also. Thai chicken salad was big and delicious. Cool decoration.

    Smoked Brisket Burnt Ends Melt. Spectacular
    Daniel M.

    Stopped for a quick lunch bite by myself. Sat outside by the bar. Place was packed. I had the smoked brisket burnt ends melt. Gonna say this is one of the best tasting sandwiches I have ever had. Loved it. That's the only thing I had so that's that. The service was excellent and the place definitely has a great atmosphere. Can't wait to go back and try everything else on the menu. Enjoy

    Sat at bar for appetizers and then went to outside bar for a couple of drinks and watched the Celtics. Bar staff was very friendly and attentive.

    Ford's Garage is a must-see for even the lightest car enthusiast. The interior decor is unique including the restrooms - which are also a must-see pit stop. The restaurant was a bit crowded mid-afternoon Sunday with a slow green flag at the hostess stand to seat us and the service was in a bit of a slow gear. Get revved up with the smoked Old Fashioned or appetizers of fried pickles and onion ring tower. Your tank will be fueled by the time your table finishes the delicious burger, fries, or Parmesan truffle fries.

    Amazing food and great experience! This was my first time bringing out-of-town guests from Canada, and it did not disappoint. The Giant Funnel Tower of Jumbo Piston Onion Rings is a must-try starter -- crispy, flavorful, and just plain fun. For mains, we ordered the Black & Bleu Burger, BBQ Brisket Burger, High Octane Burger, and the Blackened Salmon -- and every single dish was excellent. We were especially impressed that each burger was stamped with the Ford's Garage signature logo -- such a cool and unique touch that adds to the theme. Great flavors, generous portions, and perfectly cooked. Although there was a hiccup regarding the wrong order, it was promptly corrected. Definitely a place I'll come back to!

    Smoked Brisket Burnt Ends Melt and Sweet Potato Tots (the dipping sauce is very sweet with caramel base)
    Daniella B.

    Cool vibe with indoor or outside seating. Sat faster than expected and great service. Food was good - my burger was cooked perfectly medium (bun was ok), husband's ribs were overcooked but sauce was tasty. Daughter said her brisket melt and sweet Potato tots were really good. Drinks were pretty nice. Lots of families!

    The service really stood out! Friendly, attentive, and on top of everything even though the place was packed. We had a group of 10, and everything ran smoothly. We arrived early for our reservation and were pleasantly surprised to be seated right away. The food came out quickly, which is impressive for a large table, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The outdoor seating with a nice breeze made the whole atmosphere even better. Plus the location is beautiful, and once you're done eating ... SHOPPING

    Buffalo chicken sandwich (excellent), fish and chips (good, but a little greasy and less actual fish than other places)
    Brett B.

    Back again at Fords Garage for one of the best Buffalo Chicken sandwiches available. Service was friendly, although using the standby list didn't help much as they wear short staffed and he had to continue to wait after our allocated despite being on the list- but this wasn't a big deal. Fords Garage has so many great food options, and I don't think I have ever had a bad meal here. The only negative is even after all these years they continue to deceive customers by incorrectly calculating the tip after tax- which is an inappropriate money grab as customers should never be tipping on taxes. So don't follow their tipping suggestions table at the bottom of the bill. I don't know why this restaurant continues to play this game and compromises their ethics this way, but if you can get past that the food is great!

    Do They have outdoor seating and are they pet friendly? I'm driving through with a pet, and I'm looking for someplace to stop.

    Yes to both. If you get on the waitlist be sure to specify outdoor

    Do they take reservations?

    Yes they do. I usually call I before going since they are at the outlets and it can get busy real quick.

    Absolute wonderful time! The service was amazing. What a fun Cooney Greek diner! Cincinnati chili…read moreis authentic and amazing Conney Dog and the Chicago. Dogs are outstanding along with the Gyro. Worth stopping in.

    Wanted to try something local and new and Motor City was on my "must try list." Can I say, this is…read morea great revival to the old Pizza Hut that used to take up this space! First thing our group noticed was how clean inside was! And being that it was lunch hour on a Thursday afternoon, quite busy and still tidy! BTW we also found the men's & women's bathrooms to be in tip-top cleanly shape, and in a restaurant, that says a lot! You can also see into the kitchen from the dining area and it too was swept, clean and stocked. There are high-tops, low tops and a few booths for any type of seating comfort you choose. Since it was "seat yourself" we chose a low top for our party of four. Fresh brewed iced tea and Pepsi's to start. We all ordered and waited perusing the table menus showing daily specials, happy hour specials (beer and wine) plus fish platters. Great options and something for everyone. Our friends ordered the classic cheeseburgers with fries, I had the grilled chicken melt and my hubby opted for breakfast, the pecan waffle and a side of bacon. Our friend's burgers came out picture perfect; fluffy bun, generous lettuce, tomato and onion and crispy hot fries. They said it was probably one of the best burgers in the area. My husband's pecan waffle was crisp but fluffy on the inside, not dry. There was a light powdered sugar dusting and an ample amount of pecans. The bacon was crisp, not greasy and nice long strips as if baked not fried. My chicken melt was delicious! Grilled chicken breast, bacon, tomato, Swiss cheese and a "special sauce" all toasted between crisp buttery rye bread. I opted for onion rings and they were stellar. You know, where the outside is crisp but the onion is cooked translucent so that when you bite the onion ring the onion doesn't slide out in one long run?!! Perfect!! Our service was exceptional and the food presentation was great. Kudos to the owners for the service and quality effort they have put into this establishment, it truly shows. This will most likely become our "go-to" local spot!! Next review will be the Coney chili dog!
