My wife had the Patty Melt and really enjoyed it as well. For drinks, I had the Woodford Old Fashioned, which was well-made and paired great with the meal, while my wife loved the No Octane Dirty Soda. Our boys ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and the fish planks, both served with tater tots. They enjoyed everything, but the tater tots were definitely the biggest hit at the table! To top it all off, we shared the Brookie Sundae for dessert, and it was amazing. The perfect way to end a great meal. What really made the visit memorable was our server. She was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make our family feel welcome. One of our favorite moments was when she took one of our boys behind the bar to honk the horn, he loved it! Great food, great drinks, great service, and a fun atmosphere for families. Highly recommend Ford's Garage!

There aren't many gluten free options for snacks but they did have gluten free crackers for the whitefish dip and their fries were gluten free. Honestly, I wasn't the biggest fan of their fries. They had a strong oil taste and the irregular cuts made it so that they weren't all cooked homogeneously. I did like the nice amount of freshly grated parmesan on top though. I can't remember the name of the cocktail I had but it was named after a city. My husband tried the basque cheesecake and really liked it. I think it wasn't made by the restaurant if I remember correctly. The pizzas that I saw going back looked great and you could watch the guy making them. It would be lovely to have a gluten free crust option :)

Competition is fierce, with a lot of good options, which is great for the customer. Joey B's definitely belongs in that company: the alcohol options are many, prices are reasonable, TVs are everywhere you look, and the food is very good. My wife ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, which she does just about everywhere. It definitely met her approval (not bad, coming from a chicken sandwich "expert"). The seasoning is good, the chicken is perfectly cooked, and the fries are great. While my wife stuck with her old standby, I went on a little adventure. Why does a pub have gyros on the menu? I had to find out. Eating establishments sometimes stray out of their comfort zone to try to appeal to more people, and the results are usually not good. So, how was the gyro? IT WAS GREAT! Seriously, this is one of the best gyros I've ever had anywhere. The pita was thick and tasted like it was freshly baked. There was a substantial amount of flavorful meat (you can also get a chicken gyro). And, the tzatziki sauce was good (it needed more dill, but I can say that about many Greek restaurants). I got sweet potato fries on the side, which were earthy and tasty without any real seasoning. Unfortunately, Joey B's isn't in a great spot, at the end of a strip mall, off a busy road (Van Dyke). I only found it because of Yelp...I would have driven right by and never known there was a restaurant there. But, the locals seem to know they have a good thing going here. The mid-afternoon crowd was decent, which is encouraging. But, the bartender had to also wait on all the tables, which led to spotty service. I do plan to return here, at least in part because I want to be able to say that one of the best gyros in the area isn't in Greektown: it's right here, in Sterling Heights.

Thats a wrap!

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE Years ago my friends and I loved to go to the Locker Room, we were regulars. NEVER AGAIN WILL I GO HERE! A dear friend of mine has been fighting stage 4 lung cancer and although it has yet to go into remission, she was finally well enough to enjoy a night out. We talked her into it, a night out like we were 21 again, a night at our favorite place . . . . The terrible DJ/ heartless Owner was allowing SMOKING INSIDE and when asked to stop he GOT ON THE MIC and told my friend he . . . "HOPES SHE DIES FROM HER CANCER!" Not only is this man a complete worthless human, but people at this place (including other employees) cheered him on. As she cried he laughed . . . . He was not just rude to my friend but customers as well. At least two others were crying because of this loser's rude, heartless and shameful comments. read more

Any fun you're having here is quickly ruined when you see the bartender targeting young and clearly under the influence girls into his creep chair so he can drink a shot out of her crotch. Then straight up grabs her by the arm and denies her the option to leave. This actually happened the night of 04/07/2018. I'm a heartbeat away from filling out a police report against this almost-rapist. This guy deserves to be fired and put under house arrest with a tether around his ankle. This whole establishment needs revamping. Management and the owners should be ashamed of themselves. read more

Hope you're still not employing the @hole who would say such awful things to someone who is fighting cancer. Can't believe he was even allowed to smoke in the club let alone be paid to be a douche.

Drinks are more than reasonably priced and Yvette makes the best shots. She's come up with some great concoctions. Our favorite is the Payday shot. Taste just like the Payday candy bar.
