Estate Burger
Maranda L.

The decor is the most entertaining thing about this place. There are vintage cars displayed in the parking lot, inside the restaurant and an interactive one hanging from the ceiling that goes off periodically (including when a Detroit team scores during a game). There are plenty of TVs everywhere to be able to watch sports too. The door handles are gas pumps, the the silverware are wrapped in grease cloths, the bathroom sink is made of a tire, and the onion ring tower is stacked on a funnel. It's so creative and cute! The food is reasonably priced and have good happy hour options. They have several unique burgers on the menu and plenty of apps to choose from. They also have a large selection of draft beers. Really cool place to be for a sports game!

Cool decor

The place is decked out from the exterior to interior with hundreds of cool Ford themed pictures, engines, Henry Ford Quotes, cars, etc. The staff are all dressed as car shop mechanics. The vibe is very fun and relaxed. Large bar at the center with a Model-T mounted on top. TV screens playing sports all over the place. Not a bad seat in the house. We were a little disappointed with the burger, the bun was pretty dry and overall burger portion size didn't match the price (see pic, the burger was about an inch smaller than the bun all around ). The salad we ordered was delicious, so were the fries that came with the burger. Service was fast and friendly. Plenty of parking.

Bite out of my 1/3# burger.

Came here for dinner. Had a good experience last year but not great this year. In town for a trade show at the Vibe Credit Union Collection down the street. There are 11 new f us so they were able to accommodate us. We had 6:30 reservations but they took us early. What ch was good cuz we were hungry. Large place. Fun decorations, a car an old model T is suspended above the bar. The horn goes off when bartenders get a tip. Bathroom is cool. Go see it. They have merch too. But it's too pricey for me. Alexis helped us. We got the menus and ordered a few apps. Felt like Alexis was in deep sales mode. She also was selling the drinks pretty hard. I wanted a cider but it ended up they were out of them all. Disappointing. On the menu they have the calories listed. So I became super conscious of trying to be reasonable with my choices. I got a 1/3 # burger-Americana and a side salad. Burger was super small. I/3 # seems like it would be a bit larger. It was slightly bigger than a slider. Salad had no tomatoes. Had red onion, cucumbers that were going bad, chi chi beans, a tiny bit of cheese. It was all just OK. We did try the apps pickles and onion rings. Both are breaded not battered. And they were just OK too. Overall, the whole experience was just OK. Alexis was attentive. But felt like she was very salesy in her approach to waiting on us. I don't know. Maybe we go try someplace else next year.

French onion soup

I stopped here after a Tuesday midday movie and it was pretty quiet. Our waitress attended to us quickly and I ordered off the weekday 11am-5pm (I think) menu page which has smaller portions and slightly lower prices than those on the main menu. I ordered the soup and salad combo and upgraded from the tomato basil to the French onion soup. My friend ordered a Thai salad and onion rings and our orders came out relatively quickly. My salad was as expected - the soup was chock full of onions and cheese and was flavorful but almost too flavorful - like I would have had to add a lot of water to get it to be the flavor I like. So, it was just okay. My friend liked her Thai chicken salad and said the onion rings were perfect. The ambiance was great and full of Ford and car memorabilia, as expected. Not my first visit and I will return

the interior of the restaurant

Every time I dine here, the experience is excellent. The service is consistently sound and pleasant. I like the energy and the decor, it's fun! The food is very good. My favorite is the berries and Gorgonzola shrimp salad. It had strawberries, blueberries, cranberries, glazed walnuts, Gorgonzola and plump and flavorful shrimp. It's pretty much a perfect salad! Their burgers are tasty and juicy! I always get the onion rings because they are so good. The fish and chips are really delicious. The ahi tuna bowl is so fresh and near delectable. I look forward to my next visit.

The Estate Burger - delicious!!!
Steve Z.

Came to Ford's Garage recently (and previously multiple times) with some friends. The restaurant never fails to deliver consistent quality in their food, especially their yummy burgers. My wife and I had the Estate burger for the first time and it was absolutely delicious - I mean every bite was a wonder to my mouth. Will continue to come back here, as the staff is great, the inside is super cool and the food always delivers. If you haven't been to a Ford's Garage, you are missing out on some fantastic comfort food. See my burger pic for reference. ;)

Mama Ford's Homemade Meatloaf
Lulu T.

Ford's garage was a good experience. Service was friendly and really quick. There was a World Cup game when we went and enjoyed watching in a crowd. The food was hot and seemed home made, even the onion rings! I will say that the wait was pretty long, but the decor and vibes are really fun, getting to see some historic ford parts and we really enjoyed the retro feel. Though there's usually a wait, this place is reliable and charming!

Shrimp salad
Gada F.

The ambiance is fun and lively for the whole family. I ordered the high-octane burger which was juicy and delicious. The fries were will seasoned and crispy. Highly recommend.

Ahi tuna salad
Tiffany Z.

Cool atmosphere, clean tables. Very good service, especially for our large group. Just check the bill- they add gratuity automatically. The onion ring tower is super cool and yummy. I had the ahi tuna salad with truffle tots. I was impressed with the salad. Cool place for large groups.

Ford's Signature Burger
Mic M.

This restaurant perfectly matches the vibe of the Motor City. It is a great place to recommend or take people visiting the area on business trips. From the door handles at the entrance to the decorations throughout the restaurant--even in the restrooms--everything is filled with car-themed items, making it so much fun to look around. But it's not just a visual experience. The burgers were excellent. I ordered the "Ford's Signature," which is a very solid, classic burger without unnecessary frills. Personally, I care about the bun almost as much as the patty. The meat was incredibly juicy, and the grilled brioche bun didn't collapse, allowing me to enjoy the burger all the way to the very last bite. The tomato, onion, and lettuce were also very fresh and crunchy.

Piston Onion Rings
Natalie S.

Very cool decor inside, friendly staff and good service. The food was good. Everything we had tasted good, nothing that stood apart from any other chain restaurant though , which is why I gave the rating I did.

Fish and chips
Kimberly C.

Ford's Garage in Novi, Michigan is ALWAYS a whole vibe From the huge, easy parking lot to the second you walk in, it's giving modern, fun, high-energy atmosphere. The entire place is decked out in old automobile memorabilia -- it literally feels like you're eating inside a classic Ford museum! The details are next level... even the BATHROOMS are themed! The sinks look like they're made from tires and the door handles are like gas pump nozzles and they even serve the food on automobile-style dinner ware -- the creativity is unreal! The ambiance is so relaxing, and it's sporting this really calming blue tone throughout that just makes you feel comfortable and at ease It's energetic but somehow still cozy at the same time. Now let's talk FOOD The fish was HUGE. When I say huge... I mean it was as long as my FOREARM Absolutely massive! Perfectly cooked, tender, flaky, and packed with flavor. You definitely get your money's worth! Those chicken wings?! ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE Bold flavor, juicy, fall-off-the-bone tender, and plated so beautifully they were almost too pretty to eat! Everything tastes fresh, high quality, and made with care And the prices? SPOT ON Great portions, amazing flavor, and you truly feel like you're getting value for what you pay. And the staff? 10/10 Our waitress Missy is absolutely AMAZING every single time we go she's attentive, friendly, and just makes the whole experience feel special. That kind of service keeps you coming back! Ford's Garage Novi is a must-visit Big portions, amazing food, creative details, calming ambiance, top-tier service, and prices that make sense! BIG Kudos See ya soon!

Model A Burger
Malisa R.

Located in Novi near Twelve Oaks mall. Ample parking which lots of restaurants and activities near by. My family and I came on a Saturday afternoon. There was a little bit of a wait, but we didn't mind. Reservations are an option if you're tight on time. We were seated at a booth which gave us views of the restaurant. The Ford theme is present through from tire sinks and an actual car floating above the bar. For birthdays, celebrations, and kids of all ages, you can honk the horn, which is super cool. We started off with onion rings which was service on a tool looking item. Definitely don't know the terminology but I know it's car related. Love the attention to detail. My husband and I ordered burgers, which came branded with Ford Garage. Great presentation. Our service was great. He was attentive and kind. We enjoyed a few cocktails too. The hibiscus margarita was my drink of choice. Yum!

The mushroom wasn't my favorite, as the mushrooms would gush out some water from it, was a rather unexpected experience, not for me. The mushroom and cheese were decent.

The seats and table felt sticky but everything else looked pretty clean. We ordered burnt ends that came with pickles, onions, burnt ends and onion straws. The meat was moist and delicious. We also got the ribs- which as some others have mentioned, didn't taste fresh. The ends were pretty tough (jerky consistency) and not fall off the bones like Mission bbq. The sauces they have on the table were good. As a side we got the beans and mac n cheese. Both of them had a nice little kick but again didn't taste freshly made. I would definitely come back and try other things on the menu but skip the ribs next time.

After checking Yelp and…read morethinking about the Asian restaurants I've been to in the area with good reviews, I realized they haven't been great for me--so I changed course and decided to try Spruce and Ash. I'd been wanting to try their beet and feta salad, and after exploring the menu, I also ordered their beet Korean wings. I loved every bite--both were incredibly satisfying and very tasty. The restaurant is a quaint little spot in downtown Farmington. Outdoor seating was quite full, and once I went inside I realized the inside was fully seated as well. I was instructed to order at the bar, and I was immediately attended to and offered water while I waited for my order. The bar was simple, organized, and very clean. The interior is rather small, but it hardly felt crowded. My order was well bagged, but when I got home there was no flatware or napkins--so thankfully I wasn't planning to eat right away. I'm genuinely excited to try something else on the menu, but I'd definitely repeat my beet salad and Korean wings order. If you're in the downtown Farmington area, give Spruce and Ash a try! Enjoy!

The tacos were honestly less enjoyable than Taco Bell, and the pierogies were a complete disappointment. A Polish-Mexican concept could be creative and exciting, but this felt like neither cuisine was done particularly well. It's unfortunate that such a great Milford location is occupied by a restaurant that seems so badly in need of a full refresh--from the food and menu to the decor and overall atmosphere.
