This was a very good place to have dinner. Anna was our server and she was knowledgeable about the menu,friendly and attentive. The whole experience was great. I suggest the key lime pie for dessert. read more

Booked a 60 person Teacher Appreciation Week social at Ford's Garage and could not have been happier with the experience. Javier, the manager, was exceptional from start to finish. Since I had only worked with their corporate office via email beforehand, I honestly wasn't sure what to expect walking in with a group this large, especially a hungry and thirsty group of teachers on a Friday afternoon at the end of the school year but they handled us SO well. The food online looked like typical bar food, but the FLAVORS were exceptional. I was genuinely amazed. I wish I had gotten more pictures, but I was so busy trying to mingle and host. My personal favorite was the Firecracker Shrimp. The ribs and wings were awesome, the fries were great, and even the chicken tenders had really good seasoning. I'm allergic to dairy, but everyone around me was raving about the mac & cheese too. The pretzels were also so yummy. The bartenders and staff were fantastic, especially Alexia and Chloe. It was an especially hot day, so a lot of our faculty members were ordering frozen drinks, which I know can be time consuming for bartenders, but we honestly never waited long. I had the hibiscus lemonade and loved it, and my friend's Old Fashioned was especially good too. The space itself is spacious, inviting, and worked perfectly for a large group event. I love my team dearly, but they are an intense bunch and Ford's Garage handled the chaos with kindness, patience, and professionalism. We will absolutely be back. read more

My family and I went here for lunch on a Sunday. Seated within minutes. The ambiance was nice, especially for a laid back Sunday afternoon out with the family. Service was a bit slow that day. Server had passed us several times and took awhile before she checked in with us. We ordered nachos topped with the typical fixins but instead of ground beef, it had pulled pork and a yummy chipotle bbq sauce of some sort... We also shared an order of wings, which were good but not amazing. Kiddos split a burger and fries and picked on our food. Overall, it was good. I'd probably go back to try their burgers. They have a good-looking list of burgers; we just weren't feeling burgers that day. read more

This is such a cool concept!! With such an extensive menu, there will be something for everyone. I failed to take pictures of the food. But from the pretzels to the burger to the chicken bowl to the chicken wings--you can't go wrong! The service was on the slower side. It took a while to be greeted by our server. But then thereafter, the service was good. Sit outside on a nice evening and enjoy listening to the live music that you can hear around the corner. read more

This is our second time coming here. The 1st was when they first opened around 2 years ago. We didn't have much luck on either occasion. The food was ok. But, once again, we had ordered items that were out and had to re-order again. Both times the entrees arrived at drastically different times. I'm guessing it's due to an original ordered item being out. The presentation for the onion rings was creative and worth the price. The servers on both occasions were not very knowledgeable of items on the menu. 20% gratuity is added to the check automatically. If it wasn't written in small print, we wouldn't have known. The vintage cars inside and outside the restaurant added a 1920's flare. Bonus: 10% military discount year round. read more

Came in with my husband for their awesome Happy Hour! We had an order of their loaded tater tots which were the perfect size for snacking and were super good! I really enjoyed their lemon drop martini which, I think is like $7 or $8 on the happy hour menu. Husband had a Guinness. The place is clean and the bartenders are friendly. I love the bar top with the ice around it to keep your drinks cold. We agreed that we will definitely be back! read more

Def not bad just didn't blow my mind.. id say strong 3.5.. I didn't wanna give it a 3 because I felt that was too low. Ordered the baby back ribs and slaw.. slaw was good in flavor just a little too wet. Ribs were fall off the bone but more sweet than savory and I tend to lean on the savory side when it come to the way I like my ribs. read more

Oh Fords Garage where have you been?! This restaurant was lively, full of people, very thoughtfully decorated and overall a great experience. It was full inside when we got there but thankfully they had plenty of outdoor seating so we got to sit right away. Our server was friendly and I ordered the Model A burger that made this burger lover very happy! The bacon, fried egg, onions, and cheese on that very nice bun bridged the gap between food that tastes awesome and looks amazing. Capped off the night with a key lime pie which was surprisingly good. Definitely one of the better key lime pies I've had at any restaurant. Only downside to this place is upon entry, I was told of a mandatory 20% fee( also known as a mandatory tip). I am personally against this as a business model (especially with a small party) because I believe tips are to be earned not forced. It's to be worked for not default. My server was friendly but also not around as much. Made me feel like the tip was covered so why work hard to earn it? It also made me less likely to give more of a tip since I was forced to an initial %. Not a huge deal but just wasn't a good first impression. Not a fan of forced tip business models. All in all I had a great time, great food and would consider coming back here if I'm in the area again. read more

Got in to Plantation after a bit of a flight delay and we were all hungry, so walked over to Ford's. It's kind of a typical bar with the expected fare, but with a few elevations. I tried a honey Chipotle chicken bowl and it was really good! It could have used a little more chicken and rice, but tje flavors were good. I also tried a colada drink, but it didn't have the normal coconutty flavor, kinda had an orange and lime flavor. It didn't seem like they split bills automatically, so of you want your bill split, probably need to say so when you order. read more

Really enjoyed this place! First time my hubby and I visited, the hostess greeted us and told us about the 20% the restaurant does and how tipping is optional ( which as a previous in the biz person i thought that was amazing )! anyways nikki was our server and she was very nice and gave good recs. I ordered the guava gimlet and it was delicious. Sweet but not super, also I had the tuna bowl and my husband had some chicken dish that had i think he said goat cheese, that was delish as well. We liked the spot, a nice family fun ambiance ... we hope to go back and this time try some dessert ! read more

I liked this place! I go to plantation often and had lunch with my bf here. Service was good and I enjoyed the food! I got a burger that had fresh jalapeños, guacamole and pico de gallo in it and it tasted really good. Also got this guava non alcoholic drink that I liked too, it was refreshing. I'd come back here it's a good spot to hang out and talk. My only complaint is that they don't have Tabasco and only cholula which was a bummer considering this is like a traditional American restaurant I would like to think they would have something like Tabasco. Hopefully they have it in the future. Anyway all in all I enjoyed my time here and will be back! read more

Visited Ford's Garage on a Friday around 2 PM with two girlfriends, right as happy hour started. There is parking available, but be prepared to walk a bit. First off, I loved the decor. The restaurant really looks like a garage. From the mechanic style uniforms the staff wears to the napkin wrapped around the utensils that looks like a mechanic rag. That honestly threw me off for a second because it looked old and dirty , but then I realized it was intentional and part of the theme. The place was very busy, which made sense since it looked like a lot of people were there for work Christmas parties. One thing to note about happy hour: food and drink specials are only available at the actual bar. In other seating areas, it's drinks only. Online it said "bar area," which was a little misleading because the section I was seated in looked like part of the bar area and was very close to it. The waitress clarified it had to be directly at the bar. As for the food and drinks, I started with a lemon drop, which I'd never had before, and it was so good I ordered a second one. Definitely a highlight. We shared the loaded chicken nachos, which came in a large portion. They were okay, but they had BBQ sauce on them, which I didn't love (my fault for not reading the ingredients). Also, having to pay extra for sour cream on nachos was surprising. What kind of nachos don't automatically come with sour cream? I ordered the bourbon wings and was happy that all flats were allowed. The wings were good, and the fries were solid as well. I totally forgot to take pictures of the wings, unfortunately. Overall, it was an okay experience. I'd definitely go back for the lemon drops and the wings, and now that I know how happy hour seating works, I'd plan a little differently next time. read more

Ford's Garage is a burger and craft beer restaurant that opened its first location in Fort Meyers in 2012 near the Edison and Ford Winter Estates. When they opened they hadn't secured the rights to use the Ford name. When contacted by Ford Motor Company they expected a cease and desist letter and instead were surprised to learn the car company liked their concept and wanted to work with them. A deal was struck in 2014 that allowed the restaurant to use the iconic logo, archival images, and even have actual Model T's. They have now expanded to more than 20 restaurants in four states including this one in Plantation Walk that opened in 2023. . Ford's Garage is known for their cocktails and burgers. I love all the attention to detail like the gas pump door handles, tire sinks and gas pump handle faucets in the restroom, a craftsman tool cart used as a buffet, oil rag napkins with hose clamp napkin rings, old photos on the wall, Model T horn blaring, and actual car suspended over the bar. If you are a gearhead or Ford history fan like me you will love their decor. The gastropub style menu features wings, hot pretzels, nachos, soups, salads, burgers, sandwiches, and comfort food plates. Dessert is lava cake, key lime pie, turtle brownie, caramel apple cookie skillet, and milkshakes. They also offer a weekend brunch. We arrived in time to enjoy the weekday lunch menu which includes the signature Chicken Henry and a soup and salad which I enjoyed with the French onion soup. Service was prompt and attentive. Note that they automatically include the tip but they were upfront about it. I have been to several Ford's garages around the state and it is nice that they opened one closer to home. read more

Drinks at bar review: This restaurant is located in the Plantation Walk with plenty of parking. They are known for their burgers and beer. The decor is pretty cool, they made it into a 1920s service station. We got drinks at the bar. The drinks were decent and the service was too. They have this model where there are no tips, but there is a fee added onto the bill. Next time I'll have to dine in and try their food out and come back with an update. read more

Was staying at the Sheraton nearby here and stopped by here for a quick solo dinner at the bar. They were moderately busy but nothing crazy. Service was a little slow but not terrible. I had a couple beers and half rack order of the ribs and the jalapeño corn. I enjoyed both things but really enjoyed the corn. Half rack was the perfect amount of food. Overall it was a decent dinner read more

The restaurant pays homage to old classic Ford vehicles and that Route 66 iconic era. The ambiance is fun and warm. However, the restaurant charges a service charges a flat 20% and gives you an option to add more tip. I feel this does not incentivize the waiter staff to go over and beyond. Service was just ok. The patron margarita was very sour. They forgot agave and I could not finish it. The vodka ginger ale was also not made well. We asked for medium cooked burgers and the burgers were well done. Service doesn't ask if drinks or burgers are good. It's just a serve them n get them out template. It'll be a while before we return. There are many great places to eat in plantation. read more

My first visit was a good one! We stopped in with a group of 5 after our holiday lights tour. It wasn't very busy and we were seated within a couple minutes. The hostess made sure to tell us up front about the automatic service charge, but we were aware, since good to go. Garrett took great care of us and all went well. We ordered apps, definitely try the onion ring tower, and the loaded kettle chips were also good, but not as large of a serving as expected. My sons ordered the meaty grilled cheese, and the fish and chips. Out if everything, I would not recommend the fish and chips, but can't really pinpoint what was wrong, maybe the batter itself, but my son was not a fan, and I took a bite as well, and agreed. They have a large menu with a variety of food options, as well as beverage options. Love the sports bar vibe. We will definitely try again. read more

I've been to a Ford's Garage before while working in St. Petersburg but I only had drinks and an appetizer. I was invited to a Networking Event at this Plantation location. The restaurant is very clean and well laid out. Now with a name like Ford's Garage you make have guessed the it has an Automotive Theme. There are Cars, Tires and all manner of Garage items. And the Restrooms are not to be missed. Hint: there're a couple of Kegs inside. It was a great event but the food was even better. There was a preselected menu and I was a little indecisive about my selection but I managed to narrow it down to two. After a moment I asked one of the wonderful servers for his professional opinion to choose between the Chop Chicken Salad and the All American Burger. He replied " the salad is very good but the burgers are great!". So, I got the burger with no Garden, Medium Rare with Cheese and a side of Broccoli. The All American came in a decent amount of time and it was Perfectly Cooked and the Broccoli was cooked to perfection as well. I also ordered a Half and Half Tea which was great, and it didn't taste like a handful of Pixie Sticks dissolved in water. As stated before the event was great and the staff were wonderful. I plan to attend more Networking Events so I'll definitely return and I may even try that Chop Chicken Salad. read more

Location: 10/10 Customer Service: 8/10 What I Ordered: 10/10 Price Range: 9/10 Veteran Friendly Rating: 10/10 Veteran Discount: 10/10 First Responder Friendly: 10/10 Service Dog Friendly: 9/10 Easy Parking: 10/10 Would I Return: 9/10 Best Item: smoked brisket burnt ends slider Overall: 9.5/10 "Shocking Flavors & Military Friendly" This place is a home run for anyone who loves bold smokehouse flavors, Detroit muscle car history, and a veteran-friendly atmosphere. The entire restaurant feels like a tribute to classic American engineering, with automotive memorabilia and a true old-school Detroit vibe throughout. It is the kind of place where you can easily spend time looking around while waiting for your food or catching a game. I ordered the smoked brisket burnt ends slider, and honestly, I usually end up taking leftovers home -- not this time. Every bite disappeared fast. The brisket was smoky, tender, and packed with flavor. The onions and BBQ sauce were a perfect mix keeping everything juicy without overpowering the meat. Our hostess and server Kiana were great and immediately welcomed my service dog, Renn, which always stands out to me. There is plenty of room for multiple service dogs, families, or a large group of veterans and first responders looking for a solid meal and a place to relax. Parking was a breeze with multiple levels of free covered parking. Once again military and first responders get a salute to service discount. If you enjoy smokehouse food, classic cars, football, and a military-friendly atmosphere, this place is absolutely worth the stop. read more

We went in for a quick bite with the family including a two year old. It's fun to run around the courtyard and we saw Santa and his elves and there was live music. We sat outside and were seated right away. We had a nacho appetizer with chicken which was a hit. Three of us had burgers and fries. One subbed broccoli. One had ribs which he enjoyed a lot. Over all it's a decent place and convenient if you're with the family at the plantation Walk. read more

Family was visiting South Florida and we came here and the service was amazing from Daniella!!!! Thank you!!

I was in the area and needed to kill some time so I stopped in for their happy hour. It was my first time here and decided to sit at the bar since that's where the specials were happening. There's a big car hanging over the bar which is pretty cool and it's a big restaurant. The place wasn't too busy on the Wednesday afternoon. The bartender greeted me right away and offered all the menus. The happy hour menu was sufficient for me. I ordered the American burger with Swiss cheese. This came with my choosing of specific draft beers. I chose a Modelo. The burger came fairly quickly and my drink was given first. The burger came with fries. I finished the fries first and they were good and seasoned. The burger was a bit on the dry side but edible. It was a burger though nothing too fancy. The service was good and the food was overall decent. I would give this place another shot and try other items on the menu. read more

I came to Plantation Walk for the Holinights event, and ended up going to Ford's Garage for dinner since I've heard great things. The theme was fun and implemented throughout the restaurant, including the employee uniforms and the bathrooms. Our server was super informative. I got the Buffalo Mac and cheese. I asked the waiter how spicy their buffalo was, and he suggested getting the sauce on the side because it varies. I'm definitely glad I did, because I was able to add the perfect amount of heat myself and I think it probably would've been too much otherwise. My mom was excited about the patty melt, but said it was just okay. It was a really nice night so we enjoyed sitting on the patio, and Santa stopped by to take pictures! We were debating at the beginning of the meal between getting an appetizer or dessert, and ended up deciding on dessert. The Brookie sundae was a great choice, and nice step up from most restaurants' normal brownie sundae. the vanilla ice-cream complimented the rich Brookie perfectly. It took a little longer than I would've liked to get water refills, especially considering that I had a spicy dish. read more

Ford Garage is a very appealing restaurant located in Plantation Walk. There are two old school Ford cars outside the restaurant for display. Inside there was a Ford car above the bar. I find that this restaurant was very interesting and catchy inside. Service: my experience was great. I was greeted promptly and professional. My server was attentive and ask was it my first time. She gave me an overview of the restaurant and handed me an info card. I noticed by the bar there was usb chargers ports and ice around to keep drinks cold. Food: I enjoyed my meal. I ordered the burnt ends sandwiches which was so delicious. My boyfriend order the burger and he enjoyed his meal too. We were both well pleased with the quality & taste of the food. We also like how fast our order was prepared. Parking: We parked in back of the restaurant. We went on a Friday night and surprisingly the parking wasn't so bad. We were able to get a decent parking space. Only downfall is the 20% service fee for all orders. Overall I think the staff are great and I enjoyed the food. I also shopped in the front of the restaurant near the hostess booth they had some Ford Garage merch. I recommend to give Ford Garage a try. read more

First time coming here, and although I did enjoy it, there were a few things I didn't relly like. Firstly the location in the ever so popular Plantation walk, with lots of entertainment, shops and few other places to eat as well. The area is lively and often times hosting family events. A group of us decided to meet up, and this was here the majority decided on. Tyler our server was amazing! Such friendly individual. Restaurant was clean, and seems well organized and heavily staffed. When we visited, it was not too busy, only a few other tables were occupied. We were seated right away. After reviewing the menu, normal everyday items seemed a bit over priced. Again, I know this might be due to its location. I ordered a wings appetizer, along with a mango margarita. Wings were $19.00, and the marg rounded up to $14.00 The margarita was delicious, more like a fruit drink almost, didn't really felt like there was alcohol in it. It definitely lacked the smell or even taste of tequila. Wings were good, fresh and steamy when they arrived. Their Nashville hot is not that hot, if you like a little hint of spice, you'll be OK with these. Don't let the name intimidate you and get them. Key thing to note, if or when you visit, the restaurant will automatically tack on a 20% gratuity to your bill, regardless of group size. A group of 10, or just a single person the charge will be on the bill. Which in some instances that might be fine, but for a person coming here to grab just an appetizer and a soda, or a beer, 20% seems a bit much. I'm not sure that I will be back anytime soon. We shall see. read more

I stopped in for a snack. I sat at the bar and waited a bit fo be acknowledged. I had heard about their pretzel appetizer from my neighbor. She loves it so I decided to get that since I was not too hungry. I received the pretzel and dug in. The pretzel was pretty good. I found the cheese sauce to be a bit too salty. I really enjoyed the sweeter mustard. I took home a couple pieces and enjoyed it the next day. It stayed well. I really like the environment at Ford's Garage. It is a bit nostalgic, fun aand modern all in one. They have some nice Happy Hour specials. read more

Ford's Garage Plantation - Pretzel sticks with cheese sauce and mustard - Bars Near Me - Plantation, Florida

I am going with a 4. Our server was great and I was so busy talking to my friend and her son..I forgot to get our server's name. Anyway, we started with chicken wings. I like mine with Buffalo sauce so we got that on the side so everyone could be happy. Wings were large and in charge! Buffalo sauce was real good. I had a hard time choosing between a brisket sandwich and a burger. Thankfully, I know myself well enough to not get the included bacon jam on my sandwich. That is not my thing. It does not look appealing in the picture. I did taste it and am really happy I got it on the side. My friend's son...my honorary nephew tried it and he liked it. My sandwich had some tasty brisket. I asked for it without the BBQ sauce but no can do. I had to order a side of fries because I did not want kettle chips. I am very much a chip person, but not with a meaty sandwich. It feels wrong to me. Anyway, I am sure they charged for it. My friend treated me so I never looked at the bill. The fries were ok. Not too exciting... The little guy LOVED his cheeseburger. I go out with them about once a month and he liked this meal more than any other I can think of. I will try the cheeseburger next time. My friend got a chicken cobb salad. I took a bite. Not too tasty in my opinion, but she seemed to like it. My friend tipped our server extra because the included service charge is confusing. She wanted to make sure our server got a good tip. This was an exciting restaurant for the little guy to eat at. So much car memorabolia...and he is very into cars. Like telling me I had a nail in my tire. Kids are so smart nowadays. Bring your kids here. They will love it. read more
