This is my first time at their second location and it is just as busy and just as delicious as the…read moreoriginal location. My absolute favorite sandwich is the Spam and Egg Sandwich. I don't know anywhere else in town that has Spam and it certainly makes this a standout here. Most people won't think of coming here to get a burger but it is incredible and my second favorite sandwich here. I like to get the Kalua Pork Plate with sticky rice and macaroni salad. The pulled pork is always juicy and delicious. Of the course you can't go wrong with the Teriyaki Chicken and the Katsu is excellent. The Katsu is a chicken breast cutlet that is breaded and fried and it is delicious on a sandwich or cut up on a Katsu plate. I haven't tried the Mahi Mahi yet but I hear that it is great as well. My last recommendation is to check out their Daily Specials. They usually have a special shrimp or fish dish or something more out of the ordinary like today's special: Bulgogi Sliders. I highly recommend this place, especially if you are in the mood for something different. The food is always fresh and served quickly.

Unfortunately, the beef bowl I ordered had all this weird, clear stuff mixed deep within it. My guess is that it was coagulated oil from an olive jar? I'm not sure, it looked like someone had mixed a ton of Vaseline or ointment into the middle of my dish. I tasted it and I think it was flavorless fat, which is why I'm thinking it was coagulated oil. In hindsight, I should've shown it to an employee and asked for a new dish. Instead, I ate 1/4th of the beef that didn't have any of the stuff on it and threw the rest of the meal away. I don't like complaining to management. I'm willing to assume this was a weird one-time thing (my date's meal was fine) and try the place again though. I'll update my review if I have a better experience in the future. The interior was very clean. It has a standard fast casual type of look and setup.

However, once this food arrived, it was absolutely worth the wait. The spice in the jerk is enough to have a good kick, but not be overwhelming.

Beef patties were solid/ average. Do NOT skip the coco bread!

We sat right in front of the fireplace which was very nice, the place was pretty big and well decorated; it is a new place so everything was neat. I unfortunately did not get to use the restrooms as the server suggested, but he claims they're nice! I ordered the buffalo chicken dip and it was very delicious to be honest; then I got the mushroom Swiss burger which was also great, the portion was good; I got one of their cocktails, it had the ingredients of a pina colada but not a pina colada... that was a 1/10 for me. The drink was very strong and it felt like we were drinking a straight up shot of rum. The dessert was AMAZING though; I got the Oreo brookie and it was just delicious, great portion as well. I'd definitely come back here for a burger and desserts, I'd give this place a 9/10!

If you're looking for a dining experience that perfectly balances high-octane nostalgia with…read moreheavy-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.

But the food was so good! I had been there once before, shortly after opening, and thought it was so-so. But the 2nd visit was a much better experience. Since we had a large group, we sampled each other's dishes and everything was delicious. The burrata appetizer was really good. I had the "make me something sweet" mocktail and it was pretty and tasted refreshing. Our server was top notch and explained every dish on the menu, and gave us recommendations. He really took his time with us, and you could tell he was a pro. More excited to return after this second visit than after the first! 11/26

First off, wait staff was very nice. Drinks from the bar were okay, definitely not the worst…read morechocolate martini I've ever had but definitely not the best. For our appetizer, we had the beef tartare, it was also just okay. We didn't even finish half of it. The star of the dish was the rye crisp, unfortunately. For our entree we had the baked rigatoni and the pork tenderloin. The pork tenderloin dish was delicious and so was the rigatoni. That was a plus. It was extremely loud in the restaurant. Be prepared to yell at your table partner. Between the amount of people talking loudly (I assume to attempt to talk over the loud music) and the music, and being seated really near other people, having a conversation was difficult. So don't go with anyone who is hard of hearing with background noise (my husband lol). Food took a little longer than what I'd prefer to come out. The restaurant itself had a great vibe and decorations were cute.
