Our history with Ford's Garage goes all the way back to when we first moved to Florida. After a long drive from Maryland with Apollo and Kaya, one of our first meals in St. Augustine was at Ford's Garage. We sat outside on the patio, decompressed after the trip and enjoyed exactly the kind of casual, comforting meal we needed. Peter is a former Ford dealer, so obviously the automotive décor, vintage memorabilia and old Ford above the bar were going to get his attention. But décor alone does not keep people coming back. We have returned many times because the food and overall experience have consistently delivered. On our latest visit, we wanted to experience some old favorites and look at the restaurant through a different lens because a new Ford's Garage is coming to the Beachwalk area where we live. We started with the Piston Onion Rings, which come stacked dramatically on a funnel. Crispy, golden and accompanied by ranch and Chipotle ketchup. Peter has tried more than once to duplicate the Chipotle ketchup at home, which should tell you how he feels about it. We also had Edsel's Hot Pretzels, which are large, warm and fluffy and served with beer cheese and honey mustard. The Ford's Pickles were Susan's department. They had a crispy coating and plenty of flavor. Peter is not a pickle fan, so he happily delegated that part of the review. For serious comfort food, the Smoked Brisket Burnt Ends Melt is outstanding. It combines brisket caramelized in bourbon barbecue sauce with sharp cheddar and bacon jam on grilled country white toast. Peter ordered the Model "A" Burger, topped with sharp cheddar, Applewood smoked bacon, pico de gallo, arugula, lettuce, tomato, red onion and a sunny side up egg. It is a lot of burger. The Ford branded brioche bun makes the presentation memorable, and fortunately the burger itself delivered just as strongly. Susan chose the Seared Ahi Tuna Bowl, and this may have been the surprise of the night. We simply did not expect a restaurant best known for burgers and American comfort food to prepare ahi tuna this well. It was served with jasmine rice, avocado, cucumber, pickled red onions and slaw. Very good. Our waiter was terrific and eventually convinced us to try the Brookie Sundae. We had already eaten more than enough. We ordered it anyway. Warm brownie, chewy chocolate chip cookie, vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce and Oreo crumble arrive together in a warm skillet. No regrets. The experience earned a 59 out of 60 Culinary Duo score and five stars. We also named Ford's Garage St. Augustine Best of the Best, awarded the Smoked Brisket Burnt Ends Melt our Best Dish Award, and gave the Brookie Sundae our Sweet Ending Award. Who will love Ford's Garage? Families. Burger lovers. Car enthusiasts. Groups looking for a fun casual meal. Couples who want an easygoing dinner. And apparently one couple where one person wants seared ahi tuna and the other wants bacon, cheese and an egg on a burger. We are particularly excited because Ford's Garage is coming to Beachwalk. Our future neighborhood location will need to earn its own review once it opens, but if it follows the example set in St. Augustine, Beachwalk and Beacon Lake residents have a lot to look forward to.

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!

John and I took far to long to visit this Ford's Garage location- we have been to a couple other locations around the state & knew we liked the vibe, the food, the decor. We had the kids during our visit and truthfully, Riley just doesn't do very good at restaurants (we will keep trying). Lilly loved trying foods! Our burgers were perfect, Riley did eat a fry- Lilly tried the mac and approved. Service was great, cups with lids, extra napkins- very attentive.

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.

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.

Pulled Pork Sandwich
Katherine C.

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.

8 oz sirloin with green beans and mashed potatoes
Emery M.

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.

Edsel's Hot Pretzels
Brianna J.

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.

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.

Kettle nachos and Brisket Ranchero Roadster with green beans
Jalene F.

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!
Michele P.

great ambience- Ford antiques Excellent selection of burgers. Awesome onion rings. Great beer and cocktail menu. Fun ladies room! Trust me.

Stephanie B.

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.

It's a wonderful place to enjoy authentic, hearty comfort food that satisfies a variety of tastes…read more The staff are exceptionally friendly, always attentive and checking in to see if you need anything or if everything is to your satisfaction. Prices are reasonable, making it an accessible choice for regular visits. I truly enjoy dining there and appreciate the warm atmosphere and consistent quality of the food.

We met friends here on a Sunday at 12:30 with a party of 8, and overall it was a mixed experience…read more The host greeted us quickly and had tables pulled together in the back without much of a wait, which we appreciated. Our server was attentive at the start--she took drink orders as each portion of our group arrived and kept things moving smoothly. As we got closer to closing time (2:00 PM), service shifted a bit. About 15 minutes before closing, as we were wrapping up, our server stopped checking in. This was our first visit, though friends in our group had been once before and described it as "just okay," which felt accurate to us as well. We always like supporting local spots, and this was an easy meeting location, so we were hopeful. It's also worth noting they currently hold a strong 4.5 rating, and it seems like many locals really enjoy this place. That said, the biggest drawback for us was the portion size compared to the pricing. One person in our group ordered a Reuben, and the meat didn't even cover the bottom slice of bread--with not enough to redistribute. The fries portion was very small (more like a kids' serving), and the plate was around $13. That seemed to be the general theme--nothing tasted bad, but nothing stood out, and portions felt light across the board. Atmosphere-wise, it's what you'd expect from a diner--casual, relaxed, and easygoing. We'd consider going back for convenience, but it's not a place we'd go out of our way for. With a few adjustments--especially around portion sizes--this could easily match the reputation it already seems to have with locals.

Rustica has graced St Augustine with delicious international flavors and excellent service…read more Couples, friend groups, and families frequent the airy Silverleaf restaurant. It has a large bar, plenty of booths and outdoor tables; and the kitchen is on display behind a glass wall. Staff and owners are friendly, professional, and invested in the customer experience. Their full-sized 4pm-5pm happy hour dishes are the best deal in town. Very filling, and each dish has its own unique flavor profile. Dinner is not to be missed, as the menu changes based on the market and whatever is growing in the chef's garden. I look forward to trying more dishes. Wins: nigiri, grilled octopus, miso black cod, shrimp risotto, lumpia, pork chop, hangar steak, milk bread, key lime pie, pineapple upside down cake, cobbler, crème brûlée, and coffee. Could be better: Beet Salad, Goat Cheese Fritters: I could eat a bowl of those goat cheese fritters by themselves; but the beets could use a fragrant citrus dressing. Crispy tofu bao: the perfect bao and crispy, slightly spicy papaya salad were hits. The unseasoned silky tofu needed to be crispier and cut in small chunks. It easily fell apart. Mac & cheese: not very creamy, rather bland.

We've dined at Rustica in SilverLeaf at least a dozen times, and they never fail to impress. What…read moresets them apart is how welcomed they make you feel. The staff consistently recognizes returning guests and treats you like family. The food is outstanding every time, both in presentation and flavor. On our most recent visit, our waiter Jim was exceptional. We were having dinner with old friends and had a lot of catching up to do. Jim was incredibly observant and seemed to intuitively know when to stop by the table and when to give us space. He timed each course perfectly, allowing us plenty of time between appetizers and entrees. Most importantly, we never felt rushed. The evening flowed naturally, and we were able to enjoy great food, great service, and great company. Experiences like this are why we keep coming back. Highly recommend.
