Fun atmosphere, good service and great food! The Ford-themed touches to the restaurant and tableware made for a very fun experience. Our servers were very kind and attentive, and handled our food allergy needs very professionally. Our food itself was also very good! The burgers were delicious and perfectly cooked to our requested doneness.
We had a private surprise party here. It was perfect! The DJ was GREAT! The staff was magnificent! Everyone was so accommodating and made sure the party went off without any incident! We had a blast. The food was good. The Salmon was a lil dry, but other than that everything else was 😋 tasty.v
The whole place is a tribute to Ford Garage! Very nice place! And grat burgers , one of the best I had in my life. Quite cheap as well. The staff was so friendly
This was our first time visiting the Ford's Garage in Dearborn. The atmosphere was really cool. Lots of really cool things throughout the restaurant. When it came to the service bunch of stars just fell off that. Serenity was our server and she just had no personality and was very short and a little on the snotty side. There was an error on our bill and she literally grabbed the bill crumpled it up in front of us and said I'll get that fixed. The food was good. The atmosphere was good. I just think that Serenity could use a little bit more training. It was until we were almost finished with our lunch that she came back to see if everything was okay.
The BEST chicken tenders, anywhere!! Excellent food and great service! Atmosphere is like an old car garage! Sports bar genre. Napkins are like the old oil rags! Beer selection was fabulous! Great place to hang out!
I think Ford's Garage Dearborn is a very underrated restaurant. I visited today and ordered the half rack ribs, and I was genuinely impressed! They were easily better than the barbecue from the BBQ restaurant near where I live. The people I was with ordered burgers, and looking at theirs, I ended up ordering an Estate Burger with a medium rare bison patty and avocado back at my hotel. It was honestly the best burger I’ve ever had. The bun was perfect, the meat was cooked just right, the onions were sweet and savory, and the avocado brought everything together so well. Both the ribs and the burger were outstanding, and a lot of credit goes to the cook for making such amazing food. If you’re reading this, I really appreciate your work :D Our waitress lady was also very kind and made the experience even better! I’ll definitely be coming back here with my family the next time I’m in Detroit. If you visit, I highly recommend trying the Estate Burger exactly how I ordered it: Estate Burger with a medium rare bison patty and avocado It was honestly incredible!
It's a well managed place. The decor and atmosphere is a big part of the draw and it's cool to see all the Ford-themed furniture. Our server was polite and fast and the wait for food was fast too. For a casual sit down place the food was great. Maybe not award winningly unique or creative choices but they are definitely not cutting corners or taking shortcuts on the prep and quality either, which is what matters. We really enjoyed the Chicken Henry and the sirloin steak with potatoes and green beans.
Ford’s Garage is a very nice place to dine. The decor is creative with the old time Ford theme, and the staff was friendly. It’s quite comfortable. There are lots of options for both food and drinks, and it wasn’t easy to choose a meal. I settled on the chicken Henry, and it was a great choice. The goat cheese and dried tomatoes really made the dish bright in flavor, and I enjoyed every bite. The green beans were fresh with a slight snap to them, and the potatoes were good too. Everything seemed nice and fresh. This is definitely a good spot for work events since they can accommodate larger groups too. I’m looking forward to my next visit.
We loved the fries. It was nostalgia and awe into one. We tried the signature burger and salmon salad and both were exquisite. I was quite full after these 2 meals. Wanted to end with dessert and got the brookie sundae and a milkshake. Yums
We had an excellent lunch in this restaurant. The cocktails where very good. Our highlight was the burgers. Prepared to the desired temperature. We had the Estate Burger and the Highway 101 Burger; both were absolutely delicious. The service was very friendly. Great industrial ambiance. Definitely worth a visit.
