We have been several times. The food is delicious and plentiful. Minor problems with staff on two occasions

Ford's Garage in Lexington absolutely delivered. The food was excellent, everything came out hot and fresh, and the portions were more than generous. You can tell they're putting some effort into the food instead of relying on the cool Ford theme to carry the place. The burgers are seriously good, cooked right and full of flavor, and the onion rings are definitely worth ordering. Everything we tried tasted fresh and well prepared. Service was just as impressive. Friendly, attentive, and on top of things without constantly hovering around the table. And then there's the atmosphere. If you're into cars, especially classic Fords, you could probably spend half the meal just looking around. The vintage cars, engines, gas station details, and garage theme are extremely well done. Even the bathrooms are part of the experience, which is a sentence I never expected to include in a restaurant review. It's just a fun place with genuinely good food and great service. Ford's Garage could easily get away with being a novelty restaurant, but the food is good enough that I'd come back even without all the automotive stuff. Definitely one of the more enjoyable restaurant experiences I've had in Lexington. We'll be back. read more

The wife and I ate there today. She ordered the mushroom and Swiss burger. I ordered the Model A. The runner brought out two Model A's and asked who had which. We told her we ordered one Model A and a mushroom and swiss, thinking it must've been for someone else. No biggie. 15 minutes later we get our food. The mushroom and swiss is hot and you guessed it, the Model A was room temperature. Come to find out the waitress entered two Model A's and not a mushroom and swiss. Instead of bringing mine out warm, it sat in the back until the mushroom and swiss was prepared. Cold egg, bacon, and burger are not too appetizing. I wholeheartedly understand mistakes happen. I made a mistake while I was in kindergarten. Yet, why would one make the customer eat a cold egg! read more

Ford's Garage Lexington - Comfort Food Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

Had heard a lot about this place so when my sister and brother-in-law invited us to dinner, we chose Ford's. It was a crowded weekend night, but we got seated and served quickly. They are NOT SUBTLE with the theme, car parts and garage items are everywhere. It's fun, especially for car enthusiasts and kids. They're known for burgers, beer, and bathrooms. OK... Burgers... we each got different burgers and they were all good, not great. Mine was messy with an egg on top and hard to eat, but that's typical of the overloaded burger thing. And, it was just ok for flavor, nothing special. The fries were fries. Fine. The Cheese Curd appetizer was really good. And, the dessert we got... something with ice cream and chocolate was decadent! I had a beer. It was a good beer. But, they didn't make it. They do have a good selection. The Bathroom... well, they have gas pump handle faucets and the sinks are truck wheels. But, other than that, it's a pretty basic bathroom. I told our server that Buc-ee's had better bathrooms and she seemed genuinely offended. But, it's true. Overall, it didn't blow me away. I'd go back if I was going with someone who really likes it. But, I don't know that I'll choose it again. read more

My first time dining at Ford's Garage was great experience. On a Friday evening the wait wasn't bad for a party of 4. Once seated, we were promptly greeted by our server. He gave us a great overview of the restaurant, menu offerings and made excellent recommendations. Food came out quickly as ordered. Everything was great. Food, drinks, service, atmosphere, location. I would absolutely dime here again read more

Fords Garage claims they are known for three things: burgers, beer, and bathrooms. I can attest to the first and third, as I didn't have a beer when I was in, but I think they can add ambiance and service to that list even though neither starts with a B. This place is really cool inside. It truly has a Detroit vibe that I liked. My son went with the BBQ Brisket Burger and I got the Ford's Signature Burger. Both were really good but the BBQ Brisket stood out. Highly recommend. Also, the fries are excellent and well seasoned. Service here is excellent as well. Don't forget to stop by the restrooms even if you don't have to. They are super unique and add to the overall vibe. The only drawback of this place is it is located among the Fayette Mall monstrosity and traffic nightmare. But I'd still say it is well worth that headache. I'll be back. read more

This was a good chain restaurant but expensive for what it was. The water was very attentive and helpful on modifications to meals.

Ford's Garage has become a favorite of mine in their short time in Lexington. I have been in quite a few times, and order delivery regularly, and I just love their unique burgers. The place is fun and clean, you have to see it at least once. It will be busy, so be prepared to wait. A pro tip: download their app and reserve at least one day ahead if you plan to come in on the weekend. You can only make a reservation over 24 hrs in advance. My favorite dishes are the buffalo chicken dip, the octane burger, and their brookie dessert. The drinks, at least the cocktails, are very strong. I have to admit I have not liked any of the ones I have tried, but if you're looking for good drink value, definitely try here. Parking is also hard to get nearby, so be ready to walk. Overall, I'd give Ford's Garage a 9/10. read more

We decided to check out Ford's Garage and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. We arrived during happy hour and took full advantage of the menu, ordering several appetizers along with a burger and beer combo, plus a kids' meal. Every single item was delicious. What really stood out was the service. The kitchen manager, Colton, stopped by our table multiple times and was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. Our server Toni E. was just as attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. She was on top of every little detail and ensured we had the best time and that both of our children were happy throughout the visit. The atmosphere is lively, fun, and very family-friendly. We were celebrating a child's birthday, and the staff, especially Toni, went above and beyond letting both kids honk the horn on the car hanging from the ceiling (a huge hit!) and bringing out plenty of ice cream for the birthday celebration. Great food, amazing service, and a memorable experience for the whole family. We'll definitely be back. read more

If you're looking for a dining experience that perfectly balances high-octane nostalgia with heavy-duty comfort food, Ford's Garage in Lexington is the ultimate pit stop. Located near Fayette Mall, this isn't just another themed restaurant; it is a meticulously crafted homage to 1920s Americana that feels as authentic as a vintage Model T. From the moment you pull up to the "service station" exterior, the attention to detail is staggering. The interior is a gearhead's dream--vintage Ford vehicles are suspended over the central bar, and the air hums with a lively, communal energy. The "garage" commitment extends to the smallest details: napkins are thick, blue shop towels; the servers sport mechanic shirts; and even the bathroom sinks are cleverly fashioned from tires and fuel pump nozzles. It's immersive without being kitschy, creating a vibe that is both family-friendly and sophisticated enough for a casual date night. While the décor draws you in, the kitchen keeps you in your seat. The menu is anchored by their Burgers of Fame, a clever lineup of Black Angus beef creations. The Model "A": A standout choice. The half-pound prime burger is juicy and flavorful, but the real magic is the combination of a perfectly fried egg, sharp cheddar, and a bacon jam that provides a smoky, sweet finish. Every bun is branded with the Ford's logo--a touch of flair that makes the plate "Instagram-ready" before you even take a bite. You cannot visit without ordering the Jumbo Piston Onion Rings. They arrive stacked high on a vertical rod, encased in a thick, golden batter that provides a satisfying crunch without being overly greasy. If you aren't in the mood for a burger, the Pulled Pork Mac N' Cheese is a soul-warming alternative. The cheese blend is exceptionally creamy, providing a sharp contrast to the tender, bourbon-BBQ-slathered pork. For a lighter (but still flavorful) start, the Firestone Shrimp--tossed in a spicy "boom boom" sauce--offers a bright, zesty kick that wakes up the palate No visit is complete without a "Sweet Ride." Their Old-Fashioned Milkshakes are thick enough to require a spoon and come with the classic whipped cream and cherry topper. If you're sharing, the Funnel Fries (dusted with powdered sugar and served with chocolate and caramel dipping sauces) are a whimsical, carnival-inspired end to a hearty meal. They don't just have a great kitchen; their craft beer list is one of the most comprehensive in the area. Ask your server for a local Kentucky brew to pair with your burger! Ford's Garage has successfully accelerated into the Lexington food scene by proving that a "themed" restaurant can still prioritize culinary quality. The service is efficient and friendly--much like a well-tuned engine--and the prices are fair for the portion sizes and the level of immersion. Whether you're a lifelong car enthusiast or just someone in search of a top-tier burger and a craft beer, this spot is firing on all cylinders. read more

My husband and I had the best burgers we have had before. And that is saying a lot because we are real foodies. We both had the Empire Burger-mine cooked medium rare and his medium. Perfect! The fries were already peppered, which were amazing. We sat at the bar and Tyler greeted and served us upon arrival. I was blown away by the line of ice that went around the bar for drinks to sit on to stay cold. I have never seen this before and love the concept. The decor was really cool. The wheels on the car suspended from the ceiling above the bar moved. Occasionally the old car horn would honk and smoke would come out of the rear of the vehicle. I loved how shop rags were the napkins! Honestly, I found they work better than typical cloth napkins. These were soft and more absorbent. I enjoyed all the garage decorations, including how they were incorporated into the restroom doors and sinks. We live about an hour from Lexington, but when we have a reason to head this way again, we are returning! And the prices were good. My husband and I ate for less than $50 and that was with my two Garage Beer drafts. Usually our bill is more than that. read more

It's like eating inside a Ford museum--and somehow it totally works. I never thought I'd be dining at a car-themed restaurant, but here we were--my husband and I on another lunch date--and I'm already looking forward to coming back to try more dishes. We both ordered burgers, and wow. Big, meaty, juicy, and seriously satisfying. The fries were just as good: crispy, not overly salty, and not greasy at all. Exactly how fries should be. Our waitress was incredibly sweet and attentive, making small conversation every time she checked on us. The drinks were also on point--the mimosa and bourbon mule were great, and they definitely do not skimp on the bourbon. The atmosphere is fun, casual, and very family-friendly, while still being a great spot for a date. The décor is a whole experience on its own--engines, Ford memorabilia, cars outside, and even a garage-style door that looks like it opens up during warmer months. You could probably walk around and admire the museum-like setup... though lingering too long might feel a little funny . Before you leave, check out the restrooms (trust me) and stop by the small gift shop near the entrance. Overall, it really does feel like dining inside a Ford museum--in the best way possible. read more

Ford's Garage Lexington - The estate burger and rings - Comfort Food Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

Ford's Garage is not just a restaurant, it's a dining experience! The restaurant is decorated with antique Ford cars and car parts, such as tires and even engines. The restaurant is large, with booths, tables and bar seating. There is also a private, quieter room in the back. We sat at the bar during happy hour and received great service. The happy hour cocktails are affordable and very tasty. For an appetizer I had the chicken bites which were light, not greasy. The menu is mostly burgers, which are moist and delicious, but they also have entrees such as salmon, bowls as well as salads. Overall, it was a fin dining experience with a cool, lively environment. A great place for a family meal. Oh, you don't have to be a Ford fan to dine here. read more

1/10/26 My husband and I Just checked out Ford's Garage, the newest spot in Lexington, KY, and wow this place is already buzzing. They opened at 11am and there was already an hour wait. That's how you know it's legit. Crazy busy, but 100% worth the wait. My husband and I lucked out and snagged a couple seats at the bar. The staff were friendly, and the food was absolutely phenomenal. Everything came out hot, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell this place is going to be a Lexington favorite real quick. I ordered their estate burger per the bartenders suggestion and I'm glad I did, it was definitely a 10/10. My husband got the half rack of ribs and the jalapeño cream corn. The ribs were mediocre but the cream corn was fantastic. The place was very cool inside, from the decor to the cool bathroom setup. We absolutely had a great time, would definitely come back in the near future. Especially for anyone that's visiting, as this is now a cool touristy spot. read more

I drove from Louisville KY to dine here which makes no sense Lexington doesn't have two major Ford manufacturing facilities like we do but they get the restaurant dedicated to " Ford " probably good for me because I would be eating here way too much ! The burnt ends sandwich is Soo good the fries were well seasoned also. My wife tried the estate burger was more than you could eat wow what flavor. If the fun atmosphere of auto themed dining experience doesn't make it worth wild take time to visit the restroom unique to say the least. Just saying do the proper thing build one in Louisville ! read more

Our server was on it. She offered her faves, made sure we had everything we needed and did it all with a great attitude, that matched the house. We will be back! read more

Such a neat experience! Fords Garage has excellent happy hour food and drink specials. I got the $10 beer and burger special. Only downside is you must eat at the bar for the food specials. We had Friendly and fast bar service. They have great options for gluten-free and other food allergy guests. We saw the kitchen manager come out and talk to a guest to make sure he got food that was safe to eat having multiple food allergies. Being married to someone with celiac disease- I really appreciated seeing them take food allergies seriously! We will be back! read more

I went to Ford's Garage this afternoon and had a magnificent time. My wife and I arrived around 2:30 in the afternoon and we were immediately captivated by the antique Ford vehicles on the front sidewalk. The door handles to the restaurant are gas pump handles. This place has atmosphere galore. Our server was Angel and she was on point. Welcoming us, asking if we had been in before and making excellent suggestions regarding menu options. They have a superb selection of burgers, steaks, ribs, chicken and seafood entrees. They even have a tempting meatloaf and a hearty macaroni and cheese offering. My wife loves Monte Cristo sandwiches and they have a good one. You can download their app on your phone to earn rewards points and I received a free appetizer on my first visit- it was my birth month. The staff was extremely friendly and quick to offer assistance if we had any questions. If beer is your thing this place has more beers than you can imagine. On tap or otherwise they have the beer you have been looking for as well as a full bar. The only challenge I found was parking. They have a big lot but in the middle of the afternoon I had to drive around a bit to get a spot. They just opened a few weeks ago so that might be why it was so crowded that early. The prices were anywhere from $11 to $25 per entree and they had plenty of add on sides and appetizers that would increase your bill. I saw patrons of all ages and there are multiple televisions with sporting events to enjoy while having a great meal with friends and family. Check them out soon. read more

Service was excellent--very attentive. Nice atmosphere. All the food orders were good.

First visit to this restaurant. Food was good. I had a burger...good not great. My husband had the barbecue which he really enjoyed.

I looked at reviews to find a new place to go.. this was it!! I really liked the vibe of the whole place. Our waitress was very friendly, helped me choose what to get and attentive.. I would have given 5 stars but my only two complaints were there was barely any BBQ sauce on my hamburger, I would have rather spent less to get a basic burger (it was still sooo good though) and the strawberry shortcake.. im sadly disappointed in it.. I think a description would have been nice, i wouldnt have ordered it. The middle part looked like ice cream or a custard or something.. no.. it was cake icing.. it was so sweet I couldn't even eat it.. but, we definitely would come back! read more

Ford's Garage Lexington - Jeff and Lee - Comfort Food Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

This is a great place for anyone who is car-obsessed, especially old Fords. The interior is really a shrine to Henry Ford, with engines on display and and tires used as sinks (really cool idea BTW). They are new, which was surprising to me, because the day I was there it was packed and everything seemed to be running smoothly (although I did have to wait a bit for my burger, I think it got lost in the shuffle somewhere, but that is ok) Ordered the Giant Funnel Tower of Piston Onion Rings (Served with House-Made Chipotle Ketchup and Hidden Valley Ranch). This thing is presented on an oil funnel? It is wild and definitely makes a statement, but the onion rings themselves are amazing - so crisp and delightful The Ford's Pickles (Crispy, Hand-Breaded Pickle Spears in a Panko Crust with Cucumber Wasabi Dipping Sauce) were 100% the winning item, so crisp they shattered, absolutely delicious and the sauce was bangin! Now I might be alone in this, but I think peanut butter and bacon on a burger is incredible and so decadent, so when i saw the Jiffy Burger (American Cheese, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Lettuce, and Creamy Peanut Butter on a Brioche Bun) on the menu I had to get it. Also the server went on and on so much about their burgers it seemed almost wrong to come all this way and not get it. However, the burger was just standard. It didnt wow me in any way, and that is with the peanut butter! Anyway, I dont get out to Lexington very often, but if I do come back again soon I would come here again to try other things, but definitely to get another order of those fried pickles! read more

New restaurant in Lexington, KY at the far end of Fayette Mall near Dillard. It's the old Logan's location. We've been to the ones in FL so knew what to expect. There are a few differences like no ice around the bar, but they do have a cooling table for your beer. They have great bartenders and I highly recommend coming to see Si. She will take great care of you. We came for happy hour and ordered the beer cheese with bacon. It was served with bread chips which were delicious but it's not beer cheese. As Kentuckians we know beer cheese vs cheese wiz. For entres I got the chicken Henry and it's delicious!! My husband got the burndt ends sandwich with onion rings. Soooo good! I had to send my Mac n cheese back. It was so basic - velveta at best. I did get the truffle fries and OMG they are good! Great prices, good food. Love the ambiance and the bar is great! read more

My husband and I had visited a Ford's Garage in Orlando, Florida and really enjoyed it, so we were excited that they had opened a location in Lexington. If you enjoy old cars and fun decor, you will really enjoy the way they have decorated the restaurant, including antique cars outside and hanging over the bar, tires for bathroom sinks, and the piston they serve the onion ring appetizer on. I will say that when we visited they were quite busy, but we only had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. For a starter we both ordered the French onion soup. It was delicious! For our entrees my husband had the brisket burger with onion rings and I had the estate burger. He enjoyed his burger and said there was a good amount of brisket on it. As for the onion rings, there is a $5.99 mark up for the premium side, and he only received about 6 onion rings. We did not think that was a good value for the mark up price. My estate burger was tasty. I ordered it medium, but it was quite a bit pinker inside than I prefer. However, it was not worth complaining about, and I still enjoyed it. The fries were hot and a great compliment to the burger. Service was good, and they were quite busy, but there is some room for improvement. We requested a couple items (extra lemons and a new bottle of ketchup) that we did not receive. Not to worry, we still enjoyed the experience. This is a great new addition to the Fayette Mall area and we look forward to visiting again soon. read more
