    Ford's Garage was an awesome experience from start to finish! The atmosphere is one of the coolest things about this place. The vintage Ford and automotive theme is incredibly well done, with so many details throughout the restaurant that make it feel like you've stepped into an old-school garage. The food was excellent, fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions. The service was just as impressive. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without making us feel rushed. What really makes Ford's Garage stand out is the combination of great food, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere. It's a great place to bring the family, meet up with friends, or just grab a burger and enjoy the automotive memorabilia. Definitely one of those restaurants that's more than just a meal, it's an experience. We'll absolutely be coming back!

    The decor is delightful, especially for Ford lovers. Outside, an old Ford was parked, next to ancient gas pumps . We were seated near a model T, which was hanging from the ceiling. The food was delicious. Everything on the menu was tempting; when our dinner came, we were very pleased with our choices. The servings are generous, and they melt in your mouth. I will go back there anytime I am in Saint Augustine.

    First time dining in at this location and it was great! We stopped in Friday night and managed to beat the dinner rush so were seated quickly. Our server was so kind, attentive and helpful as was the hostess and any other employee we encountered. Food came out quickly and everyone loved their meals. Cheese curds appetizer was really good and the sauce was delicious. Would definitely recommend! Plus our son loved looking at the cars all around.

    We were vacationing in the area and decided to try Fords garage. The atmosphere was so interesting down to every detail like the napkin rings to the bathroom sinks. All related to automobiles. The menu was very extensive and offered something for everyone. We decided on sirloin steak which came with two sides. It was cooked to perfection. My daughter tried the chicken bowl which was full of flavor. Our server was not the greatest when it came to attentiveness, but other than that it was a great experience. We would definitely go back.

    I was most excited about the kettle chips and they were the most disappointing... They were not warm and there weren't very many of them. The smoked burnt and melt was good. Kids meals were OK. The pretzels were good. Also the honey mustard was my favorite overall really nice and clean restaurant, but pretty expensive for the value.

    No, I am not in the market to buy a Ford, but this spot is really rad with all the cool models all the way from the 30's and checkout all the refurbished automotive gear all the way to the restroom, so many awesome ideas here. The Estate Burger with fries and the Pulled Pork sandwich with Mac n' Cheese were both really delicious, not too dry on the meats and definitely hit my full tank lol The place is very well-maintained like a car garage and of course, the staff was very friendly, especially our server Ashley who went above and beyond during our visit. It was quite a great experience and we did have fun learning about Ford's history.

    Had a fantastic lunch at Ford's Garage in St. Augustine and it really exceeded expectations. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere stood out right away. The whole garage themed setup is really cool with vintage style decor and a fun, laid back vibe that makes it feel more like an experience than just a place to eat. I ordered a burger and it was excellent. Cooked perfectly, juicy, and full of flavor with fresh toppings that all came together really well. Definitely one of those burgers where you don't feel like you need to add or change anything because it's already done right. The service was just as good as the food. Rick was our server and he was awesome. Super friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out right without rushing us. He checked in at the perfect times and really made the experience even better. The lunch prices were also a nice surprise. For the quality of food and portion sizes, it felt like a great value compared to a lot of other sit down spots in the area. My daughter had the chicken tenders and she really enjoyed them too, which is always a big win. They were crispy, tasty, and came out hot, so no complaints there at all. Overall, everything about the visit was great. Good food, great service, fun atmosphere, and solid prices. We would definitely come back again next time we're in St. Augustine.

    Went for early dinner in St. Augustine, FL. The place is really cool inside & is between 2 actual car dealerships. We both had the Model A It was huge & very good. It was cooked as ordered came out quickly. It had bacon, arugula, red onion, tomato & a fried egg on top. It was delicious but I had to eat with knife & fork. You can substitute for onion rings for an up charge. They were very good & the fries as well. I understand it's a chain. They've done a good job. Service was friendly & prompt. They have other things beside burgers too, big menu. I'd go back again for sure.

    The food was fresh, hot, cooked to order. We currently went and tried the new American Cookout menu and it was fantastic. The burger was cooked perfectly had lot of flavor, we also got the rib platter, onion rings and fish which was huge. They make all their own sauces in house and that honey mustard was . Max our server took care of us, always had a drink or food in his hand for our table. Ambiance was busy, always book an appointment or call ahead.

    The ambience is fantastic. I love the car reference to a Ford garage. Even the door handles of the entrance were unique. The service was friendly and efficient. My drink was sweet and mild, nonalcoholic. My burger was juicy and delicious. The onion rings were fried to perfection. I truly enjoyed my meal and will recommend this place to others.

    Kettle nachos and Brisket Ranchero Roadster with green beans

    My husband found this cute place online when we were closeby and it absolutely lived up to the expectations. The theme and decor throughout is so fun and well thought out. It's popular so there was a bit of a wait for inside during the cold spell so we opted for the heated patio. It was warm next to the heater but it wouldn't have been conducive for a larger group to share a heater The food was good - the kettle chips are delicious. We got the kettle nachos and I was not impressed with the cheese sauce so my personal preference is for just the chips. The hamburgers were very good. I got the one with brisket and wasn't a fan of the bbq sauce but I scraped it off and the burger was delicious. My husband and I both agreed that this is on the must go again list. We will definitely go back

    craft cocktails, burgers and amazing corn!

    My wife and I have visited The Ice Plant several times over the years, and it remains one of our…read morefavorite dining destinations in St. Augustine. The combination of imaginative cocktails, exceptional food, and a unique atmosphere makes every visit memorable. The cocktail program is outstanding. We enjoy trying a variety of their exotic and inventive drinks, and they never disappoint. The flavors are bold, creative, and unlike anything you'll find at a typical restaurant bar. The Yellow Submarine cocktail is quite possibly the best drink I have ever consumed. Made with curry-infused Bermuda black rum, lime, ginger, and Asian five-spice brown sugar syrup, it sounded unusual on paper but came together beautifully. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered four of them that evening, something I rarely do. That was three years ago, and despite returning several times since then, I have never seen it on the menu again. The food is equally impressive. Two years ago, I ordered the Skillet Roasted New York Strip served with Yukon Gold potato-anna, roasted asparagus and spring onions, watercress, and black truffle hollandaise. To this day, it remains one of the top five restaurant meals I have ever eaten. Every component on the plate was exceptional. The steak was perfectly prepared, the crispy potato galette was irresistible, and the black truffle hollandaise elevated the entire dish to another level. It was the kind of meal that stays with you long after the plate is cleared. I would gladly drive 300 miles just to eat it again. Most recently, I had the wild mushroom bisque, and it was the best soup I have ever consumed. Rich, creamy, buttery, intensely mushroomy, and perfectly balanced, it was everything a mushroom soup should be. The addition of crispy pickled onions and crème fraîche added texture and contrast that made an already outstanding soup even better. My wife and I enjoyed it so much that we returned the very next day hoping to order it again, only to discover it had already rotated off the menu. My only complaint about The Ice Plant is that some of their greatest creations seem to disappear as quickly as they arrive. While I appreciate the constantly evolving menu and understand that seasonal changes are part of what makes the restaurant special, there are certain items that deserve a permanent home. The Yellow Submarine cocktail, the wild mushroom bisque, and the Skillet Roasted New York Strip with black truffle hollandaise are three of the finest things I have experienced there. The fact that I can vividly remember one of these items from three years ago and another from two years ago says everything. Great restaurants serve good food. Truly special restaurants create dishes and drinks that stay with you for years. The Ice Plant has done that for me more than once, and that is why we continue to return whenever we visit St. Augustine.

    The Ice Plant is one of those places where the experience starts before you ever take a bite of…read morefood. The decor fits St. Augustine perfectly. Antique, rustic, comfortable, and full of enough character that you almost feel like you've stepped 200 years back in time. Then the drinks arrive, and suddenly you realize you've been transported into the future of cocktails. I wish I could remember the name of the drink I ordered because it was spectacular. Whiskey, a little sweetness, mint, and crushed ice. That's about all I can tell you. What I can tell you is that I could have happily consumed about 30 of them, tumbled down the stairs, and been perfectly happy about the whole experience. My wife went with the Mojito, and it was brilliantly constructed. The crushed ice and layered mint made it look almost too good to drink. Almost. The drinks absolutely deserve five stars. Then came the blue crab beignets, and they were spectacular. That's the kind of appetizer that makes you stop talking for a minute because everyone at the table is too busy enjoying what's happening. Unfortunately, the rest of the food didn't quite live up to the cocktails. The fish dip was very average and lacked much flavor, and the menu itself felt pretty limited. So here's the deal: if you're coming to The Ice Plant for drinks, I would have no problem giving it five stars. The cocktails are that good. This is a highly recommended stop for a drink in St. Augustine. But I have to review the entire experience, and the limited menu and average fish dip bring the overall experience down a notch. Four stars. Come for the drinks. Stay for the atmosphere. Definitely order the blue crab beignets. And if you happen to find yourself three cocktails deep, admiring the antique decor while contemplating the stairs, maybe just take your time.

I loved that haha! They had everything from classic tiki drinks, to modern, to drinks by liquor type, etc. It had the food menu, some information about the bar and how it came about. We ordered a few drinks: Bushido Rhapsody (DELICIOUS), Stars & Sarsaparilla (husband liked it) and their currently rotating tiki drink - Escape from Black Mountain, which serves 2 and is served in a cool mug of the bust of Pedro Menendez. You can purchase it as well! It was so good and felt never ending between the 2 of us drinking it. For food we ordered a couple of apps - Cajun Chicken Eggrolls and the Montenegro Meatballs.
