This place is located in the outlets. The interior is pretty neat as it is supposed to look like a Ford garage. The lunch prices are reasonable. The waitress was friendly. We ordered a patty melt, a jiffy burger and the chop salad. All lunch specials. The jiffy burger had peanut butter, bacon, cheese on it. It was delicious, it came with hot crispy fries. The chop salad was delicious, it was basically a cobb salad with, eggs, chicken, bacon, ranch dressing.The salad could have used more chicken. The patty melt was terribly undercooked even after asking for it as medium. We didn't send it back. read more

Lynne was amazing! We will fef be back and it's because of Lynne!! so much fun and took such good care of us!!!

Hands down Ford's Garage makes an excellent burger. I'm not sure why you would get anything else there - they are that good. Therefore, don't try anything else, just get the burger. As appetizers, I would go back for those pretzel sticks. They had a great crust that was just crispy enough to not be crispy. The inside was perfectly chewy with tons of flavor. I also thoroughly enjoyed the cheese dipping sauce. However, skip the chicken dip - it was bland and not exciting. You could probably find something just as similar at the grocery store and serve it yourself. The most important thing, be careful walking inside. The floors are terribly slippery everywhere. I didn't find a spot that I wasn't sliding around...well, until the bathroom, then it was sticky. Gross. read more

I've been to quite a few ford locations. This one I like the most. Its fun, energetic, and just a welcoming atmosphere all around. Its quite busy as its located in the Miramar Outlet but even with that the location is rather big and we were sat in 10-15 min. I ordered the Famous Firestone Shrimp to start this visit and man these things hit the spot! Very tasteful packed with flavor! We shared the Estate Burger as our main entree. This thing was equally delicious the Res Onion Marmalade really gives the burger a distinct flavor. Check the photos out and make your own opinion but this is #Donsfoodporn approved read more

Arrived in town to visit family and Fords was close to the airport so it was suggested by our hosts. Unique themed upscale burger joint where the door handles and bathroom faucets are gas pump handles and the servers wear old school light blue gas station shirts which I haven't seen in many years. Wide variety of beer and bar drinks. Food selection was quite varied and wide so you'll probably have no problem finding something on the menu. Burgers were very good along with their coleslaw and fries. We ordered the American Standard and Roadster burgers. We were dining between lunch and dinner times but it was still a 30 minute wait. The checkin process and waitlist is well managed and done via text with no problems. read more

Great food and service! Fun restaurant for families too. Patio dining always works on a beautiful evening!

Lunch at the bar, we had two burgers one raw. The other was overcooked. They were both ordered as mediums two total different experiences we spoke with the manager. She explained that they changed vendors, but didn't seem concerned how bad they were or that they were so different. read more

My husband and I ate at Fords restaurant last evening. The food was wonderful. The service was great. Keith was a very good server. She was very knowledgeable, polite, and kind. We will eat at Fords in Estero more often. read more

So glad I found this spot while visiting from out of state. I actually searched for a local restaurant using Yelp ....searched nearby restaurants with the most ratings. Reminiscence to a sports bar however they really stepped it up with the Hamburger variations. Great menu with lots of choices. I had the Black Blue Burger which was blackened...highly recommend. Also try the Creamed Corn!! read more

Visited for lunch and after checking the menu online was pretty sure I could have a burger with no bun or something but when I looked at the menu they called out that they have gluten free buns and have a clearly marked menu for gluten free options. I had the classic burger and a side salad and it was really good. My family had regular burgers and the fried chicken and were super happy with it. I want to specifically call out the SPECTACULAR servers we had. We had a super wonderful woman and an amazing server in training. They had soda refills ready before we asked, checked in often but not too often, and showed a great respect for my celiacs. They handed me my food first so their hands weren't contaminated and made sure the kitchen knew how to handle my food. The server in training told me they had a gluten issue too so when I apologized for being extra work he made sure I knew it was not a problem and he was happy to make sure I could eat. 11/10 service in my opinion. The atmosphere was also really cool. Old school Ford car themed. It wasn't too too crowded when we went mid day on a Thursday but you could tell it's a popular place. read more

We went here for dinner with friends when visiting the area. My toddler son had a blast playing with the car engine outside, the staff was friendly and easily accommodated our large group by splitting up in two tables right next to each other (they of course asked if it was okay with us and we said yes so we could eat faster). Food was so good, everyone ended up happy with what they got, even my littles ate onion rings which I was shocked by. I didn't order a drink but my friends did and they said the drinks were well worth the money and strong. The decor is so cute, my kids always want to go in the bathroom especially to use the tire sinks and gas pump faucets. read more

Great service by McKenna. Food was great. We would definitely eat here again. The experience was great.

Tried to dine outside on a Thursday night. Many empty tables outside and the restaurant inside restaurant was absolutely freezing cold. Hostess said we would have to wait 40 minutes to dine outside We left. read more

We love Fords Garage! Stepan is outstanding! The best bartender in SW FL. He is such a nice guy and always happy to see us!

We had a wonderful experience at Ford's Garage Restaurant today! The atmosphere was fun and happy with the old Ford hanging from the ceiling ,and all kind of car and Ford memorabilia (including the restrooms, which was really fun.) Our food was delicious and served in a timely friendly manner. A shout-out to Erica, our server, who was friendly and fun. Al, we believe is the manager, came over and asked us how our meal was and talked with us, making sure our meal was fine, which it sure was! We can't say enough what a good experience we had here and would highly recommend and would return to Ford's Garage here at the Miramar Outlet in Estero Florida. read more

Pretty good burger! I had the High Octane burger with the tater tots. No complaints, cooked the way I like and it was a tiny bit spicy. Cool decor inside and lots of parking of course since it's at the outlet mall. Would go again. read more

Due to a flight delay, we missed our opportunity for lunch, and it was now pushing 4 p.m. We decided to find a place near the RSW airport, and this looked like a good option. It's right in the Miromar Outlets, and very easily accessible from the parking lot. They have really honed the decor to be so interesting, from gas pump handle door knobs to rubber tire sinks in the bathrooms, no opportunity was missed to play off the theme. The menu had a lot of good options, but I went right for the burgers. The main section of burgers are all 1/3 pound, which is large for me. On the next page they have a section called roadsters, which are smaller burgers, if you're interested (bigger than a slider, but not as big as a 1/3 pound). I had a cheeseburger roadster with fries, and I cleaned my plate! Fries were crispy with salt and pepper, and the burger was done to perfection. They brand the buns which is a cute angle, and they nailed the medium burger right on the head. I had unsweet iced tea, which was delicious - brewed not instant. Every aspect of our meal was fabulous. The only drawback, if I had to find something, is that the interior is very loud. They do have music playing, but the noise from just people speaking almost drowned out the music. It would be a difficult place to have intimate conversations with your friends. But other than that aspect, we would highly recommend this restaurant, and would go back in a heartbeat. read more

As advertised. Food was good but not spectacular. I like the concept and the menu, but the service was only good. Hard to make up for the murder of black birds that were swarming diners outside. read more

I was neither impressed nor disappointed! Ford's is always poppin' and they always tend to have a wait if you come for dinner, regardless of the day of the week. With the shopping close by, it attracts a lot of people. We waited for about 30 minutes and were greeted right away. Our server was quick and efficient and got our order in right away. As far as the food, I personally think it's a bit overpriced for what you get and have had better burgers in the area. I did like their onion rings but they didn't come on a tower as advertised. My favorite burger out of our choices was the Ford's Signature. I didn't love the potent taste of the caramelized and regular onions on my estate burger. The kids chicken tenders were actually quite good and I might even get tenders if there is a next time! They were fresh and lightly breaded with great seasoning! read more

Our server Tino was very good. always look forward to coming. We will definitely be back great food great service thank you. read more

This is a popular spot in FM so we tried it twice and still no. The first time I ordered a salad and was very unimpressed, but since it's more of a burger joint we went back and tried a burger, still very unimpressed. The patty melt was dry and flavorless. FM isn't exactly a restaurant Mecca, but I'm not sure how this place has gotten the ratings it's gotten. The service was a bit slow, the table buser had the grossest fingernails I've seen and the food was just not good. Sorry to say, this was our second and last chance on Ford's garage. read more

Jordan was such an amazing waitress. She was so friendly and very attentive. She also thrilled our dog with ice, a water bowl, and a pup cup of whipped cream with blueberries. We are frequent diners at all Ford's Garage locations and the food here was delicious as always. The blackened salmon is perfectly cooked with an amazing burre Blanc sauce that is so rich and savory. Love the Mac and cheese, onion rings, and broccoli sides. Great beer selection on tap. And everything is reasonably priced. read more

We had dinner at Fords Garage in Estero, Fla tonight - it was a pleasant evening (70 degrees)so we walked there and ate outdoors. Our waitress Autumn was great - very attentive and answered questions we had about the menu. We shared the Firestone Shrimp - lightly battered crispy shrimp, tossed in a spicy boom boom sauce and topped with scallions. Not too hot but gets your attention - very tasty. Then we shared a Fords Signature Burger - a burger with sharp cheddar cheese, applewood smoked bacon, bourbon bbq sauce, chopped romaine, tomato and red onion served on a brioche bun. It came with a side of thick cut onion rings. Fords Garage didn't disappoint. read more

I've been here before and enjoyed the food, especially the Monte Christo, Today I ordered online for pickup. I got the Bison Burger and coleslaw, It was ready on time so a big plus there. But the burger was not as I ordered, nearly rare inside and so much BBQ it literally drowned out the taste of the bison meat which I was looking forward to. The side of coleslaw was nothing but shredded cabbage and no slaw dressing! The hostess was very nice and accommodating as I went in to pick up the food. Next time I'll stick with chicken or the monte christo (which was not available on the online menu for pickup) read more

A nice location with fun atmosphere. The food was average and that's just fine. I don't expect to be blown away I just expect a solid meal. They delivered that. I had the high octane burger and we also had a Buffalo chicken sandwich. Both were good and cooked well. The nachos however weren't that great. The chips were kinda stale and the toppings needed help Lots of craft beers on hand (My Boy Blue is excellent ) and our server was attentive and helpful. read more

Be patient. The wait is worth it if you're looking for a cold beer and tasty sandwich. The restaurant is in an outler mall, so it's a busy spot. The decor is really cute with all things Ford/autos. Love the bathroom sinks, especially. The service was friendly and quick. Didn't have to need anything. We all had burgers, which were recommended from previous Yelp reviews. Hubby had the tots for a side, which were better than most, and that's because they didn't fry them to a burnt crisp and load them with salt. I had a side salad, which was great because I love chickpeas on a salad. We all shared the jalapeño creme corn. Could have been spicier. Probably wouldn't order it again. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves enough to buy a hat. Next time I'll buy the mechanic's shirt. read more

Located at a local outdoor shopping center, which meant going to stores while waiting for a table, nice! They texted us when the table was ready. Great service, good food, a little loud but fun - you can watch the games on multiple big screen TVs. It was kid friendly, which worked for our family. I got the black and blue burger (a little wet/greasy, but good), two in our party got the fish and chips (which was a huge piece of fried fish and they loved it), and someone else got a chicken entree that was delicious. One kiddo ordered Key Lime Pie, which was incredible. Our server (Tim) noticed my little one was sleepy and gave a heads up that the car in the middle of the restaurant randomly honks loudly. Before we ordered, he had them honk the horn, to make sure it was okay. The thoughtfulness was so appreciated! read more

Ok starting out with a positive, we made reservations and when we got there our table was waiting for us. Servers were bubbly. We ordered a onion ring tower which was probably the best onion ring I've eaten in my life. Our beers came without a head in them and weren't super cold which means they probably were sitting there. Server came by after appetizers and remarked on how we demolished the onion rings already and proceeded to fill us in on the great dessert options. Thought that was a little weird since we didn't even get our meals yet but yet when we finished our food she came and gave us our checks without even asking if we wanted dessert. Despite her knowing our onion rings were done she didn't clear the table of it and our appetizer plates. Then when they brought the food still no effort so I had to ask her to clear some of the stuff from the table. Food wasn't anything amazing honestly. The three people that got burgers were in the bathroom all night after dinner. Nothing about the place makes me want to come back again but hey at least I tried it! We were so looking forward to this place but it was a fail. read more

What a great overall experience! The staff were friendly, efficient and attentive We never waited for refills, new drinks, or minor needs. The wait times for the food was very reasonable as well. The atmosphere was very cool. Definitely a good place for car guys and auto memorabilia fans. The seating was comfortable and relaxed as well. The food was good and on point with its flavors. The portions were generous. No one went home without leftovers. The prices were reasonable as well. I can definitely recommend this restaurant based on our experience. And I would return given the opportunity. read more
