This is the beer garden area
Sharon L.

They've done a great job turning this brake garage into a burger place and the burgers are awesome and their coleslaw is awesome and their french fries are awesome and my sister got a shaved beef loaded sandwich and it looked awesome and she loved it and they have a good selection of beers and some ciders. Last night they had a wonderful live musician in the beer garden area which is quite pleasant and we had a beautiful sunset behind us and the temperature was perfect outside. We chose to get our service outside at the outside bar and the bartender was very friendly and helpful and we felt like we had great service and you can order inside to go as well. We will definitely be coming back as there are some burgers my husband wants to try especially the one with horseradish on it!!

Onion rings
Mickey B.

First visit here today after finding it on YELP. As we were walking in, a customer exiting asked if we had been here before and told us that the onion rings are out of this world. So as we ordered our food, we ordered onion rings also. We ordered a Garlic Burger with Waffle Fries and a drink ($13.99), a Brake Burger with Waffle fries and a drink ($13.99) and a Smash Burger adding bacon with waffle fries and a drink ($15.20) an order of onion rings ($5.99). The onion rings have the potential to be amazing as they appear to be thin cut and battered in house. The only draw back with the onion rings, fries and burger is that they seem to be a bit heavy on the salt. I could not finish my fries and only ate a few onion rings. The restaurant is in a former "Filling Station," or gas station if you prefer. You are sitting in the garage as you eat your food, although the garage doors are closed and the restaurant is air conditioned. There are art prints of vehicles on the walls along with car manufacturer signs and hubcaps. I like this place and will love it with less salt. The staff is nice and helpful in answering questions about the menu. I can recommend this restaurant if you are in the area.

Garlic Burger with Grilled Onions
Scott P.

Loved the look and feel of the old garage station. Staff was quick to offer up suggestions being ny first time. There were great selections on the menu. I ended up choosing the Garlic Burger. This burger included Provolone cheese, garlic sauce, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion on it. I replaced the onions with grilled onions. The seasoning was great, while not too garlic forward. The meal came with waffle fries and a drink. The fries were cooked perfectly and just the right amount of salt. While we chose to sit inside, Brake Burger Garage had a great outdoor seating as well. I will definitely go back next time I'm in town.

Smash Burger Combo and 5 Piece Chicken Tenders
Melissa B.

My husband and I were driving home from Miami, and needed a place for lunch. We saw that Brake Burger Garage had a 4.5 rating, and decided to check it out for ourselves. (My husband loves burgers!!) We were pleasantly surprised to see how cute and clean the restaurant was ... and reminiscent of an older brake garage. (Very authentic!) I ordered a regular Smashburger combo, my husband ordered a Smashburger deluxe combo and we tried the chicken fingers as well. The difference between the regular Smashburger and the deluxe is that he had lettuce, tomato, onions, and pickles on his. but they both came with 'brake' sauce and grilled onions. The young man who took our order at the counter was very nice, friendly, and answered all the questions we had. We placed our order, sat at a table with a number, and as soon as our food was ready, which was very quickly, another server brought our food out to us. The burgers, the fries, and the chicken fingers were all hot, fresh and tasty. We asked for the chicken fingers to be dipped in buffalo sauce, which was really good, it might've been a little too saucy, but had great flavor and we had a side of ranch to dip in. I would definitely recommend this place. If you are in the area and the next time we are driving through we will definitely stop in for a smash burger!

Chicken fingers and fries
Shakira N.

I brought my kids here to enjoy a burger and chicken fingers after school. They thoroughly enjoyed the hot fresh food. The service was a bit long to wait but it was a busy time in the evening and the workers were friendly. The ambiance was pretty cool like a ln actual service garage which made it interesting n for my boys. The beer garden in the back was an awesome touch with the string lights. They close a bit earlier than some restaurants but overall it's a neat stop for a quick bite. The price point was a bit high because the burgers and chicken don't come with fries. You have to add $4.50 just for a small side of fries. So that's the only downside. Otherwise it's a pretty neat local spot.

Pretty good.
Christina V.

This place is clean, the staff seem nice, and the food is pretty good. I like how they took a garage & made it into a burger joint! I got a steakhouse burger with Gouda cheese. I love the waffle fries. I ask for honey mustard it's that was delicious. My husband loved the pickles. He said it was slice thin but still had crunchy of a pickle. I am not crazy about pickles so he ate all mines Sypport your local business!

Polk County Burger Week adventure day! First stop... the Birria burger! Cute little shop that must have once been a gas station or automotive shop. Walk up counter with ample table/chairs for such a small space. Love the old collector! Legit one of the best burgers I have had in my entire life... and the staff was so friendly! When we told the cashier we were doing a burger tour she offered to split the burger in half for us which made life so much easier! Not gonna lie though, wish I got a whole one. As we were leaving one of the chefs from the back asked us how our food was and we told him how AMAZING the burger was and how we came for burger week and he talked more in depth about the urger and how he thinks he is gonna make it the burger if the month. He must have been the owner, but with how impeccable their customer service was I wouldn't be surprised if he was just the head chef! Totally worth the drive from Lakeland and we will be back!

Grilled chicken sandwich with  Loaded Waffle Fries.
Deniece M.

Great service. Had grilled chicken sandwich with lettuce, tomato and onion. Loaded fries were excellent.

Finally made it in town last night around 8pm. It looked so empty. I placed my order and saw outside is a huge party. This is a great place to visit in town. The restaurant looks like a car garage that got converted into a burger place.

All the "hot" food was cold. And the smoked wings were so undercooked that the skin was like rubber. Ugh.

Family Food Trailer Adventure!!!…read more Please note: We have been eating here since Mid Nov., but I wanted to wait until we tried almost everything before placing my review. After our first dining adventure here, I knew we would be back and I wanted to leave an epic, honest review for everything I could. Our Family craves this food and when they open and at the AutoZone location so are we at least once that weekend!!! I have been Driving by this food trailer, sitting in the AutoZone parking lot for a while before that. The large burgers on the trailer had me gauking as they looked so good! We finally had the chance to stop by and OMG these are some of the best Smash or non smash burgers all 5 of us have ever had!!! This is now our go to place for burgers as they have something you cannot get anywhere else... SNOOP'S SPECIAL SAUCE!!! What an elevation to any burger!!! The price point is definitely on point with the quality, plus you get a pile of fries (Plain or Parmesan) with that SPECIAL SNOOP SAUCE all for 16$. Let me ask a question: WOULD YOU RATHER? Have a basic burger from corporate stores for 12$-17$ and have a Good Burger & Fries Or... Have one of the best burgers of your life every time you go to snoops as consistency is key and SNOOPS has it!!! You can also get a burger, fries & 6 piece wing combo for 25$ - Saving you 7$ from the cost of a 6 piece wing, what a great deal!!! The wings are amazing and large in size to support the 6 pieces & then Parm Fries for the 16$ price point, but still the burger/fry/wing combo is definitely worth it!!! Sauces available: XXX BACON JELLY RANCH LEMON PEPPER MANGO HABANERO - tried and loved Garlic parm Thai sweet chili - tried and loved Hint honey Garlic - tried and loved The Philly steak may seem higher priced than most, but holy beef this is the best Philly Steak I have had in Florida and I've eaten them all over the northeast, even in Philadelphia, so I like to think I know what a real Philly should taste like. First Snoops got the soft/fresh bread, which we all know is key to the sandwich, the bread is filled with meet and cheese and I could not get enough the first time as I went back the next day to get another one. For me the 25$ Philly is so big you could share with another or eat it all yourself, like I do, cause it's so good & don't forget those Parm fries come with it to!!! To sum things up if you haven't tried Snoop's your doing your and your families bellies a disservice. The owner operator is passionate about his food and proud as he shows every guest their food before bagging it up. I'm sure it's just to see your face as this man takes pride in his food quality and guest service!!! AS ALWAYS, TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!!!

Everything! The service was atrocious! Waited over an hour…read morefor a child-sized burger and fries. Ordered regular fries, got ranch seasoned fries. And the VERY unimpressive burger (which should have been 3 sliders) tasted like week-old-defrosted meat, and very gamey tasting. It was supposed to be Angus beef, but it most DEFINITELY WAS NOT! Not to mention that, although it was supposed to be a smash burger, it shouldn't have been see-thru and PAPER-THIN. I highly DO NOT recrecommend buying from this food truck. It will be a waste of your time, taste buds and money! Go buy a Krysral burger, you'd enjoy it more.

First visit after discovering on YELP and wow! Very tasty food and great service. Today we ordered…read moreFried Green Tomatoes ($9), Chef Salad($13.70), Texas Club Sandwich with gone fries($12.50), and Country Fried Chicken with sides of mashed potatoes and corn ($14.20). Nothing was overly salty and everything we ordered we would all order again. The Chef Salad was large and looked fancy with fresh vegetables and lettuce and meat and cheese roll ups. The Texas Club was a tasty chicken salad sandwich on crisp Texas Toast with a nice light taste. The Country Fried Chicken was moist, easy to cut with a fork and seasoned just right. We don't often find a fried chicken breast as nice as this one. The fried green tomatoes were plentiful and prepared just right and perfectly crisp. Our server today was Annabel and she was just as friendly and attentive as we wanted/needed. When we sat down, I was hoping this might become my new favorite restaurant and they lived up to that hope. We live close to an hour away but I'm thinking we may drive back for breakfast tomorrow. This is most definitely a highly recommended place to visit.

We went on a Wednesday night only to learn they have a buy one/get one deal on Fajitas. Oddly enough, I had just been talking about how I hadn't had fajitas in a while so I gave them a go. My son didn't want them, so since they were buy one/get one, I took the other in a to-go container in case we got hungry later. What a great deal! They were decent fajitas. Be sure to ask for salsa since it doesn't come with it and jalapenos if you like them. My son had the prime rib and it had good flavor, but a little too much fat. The really good part is the rolls...warm and they come with cinnamon butter...yummy! The salad they make in front of you is really good with delicious dressing. And for you sweet tea lovers, the tea is pretty good too. Our server was Bambi and she was very friendly. All the servers seem to be super busy in there, so you may have to wait a bit on refills and such. There are clean restrooms and the parking lot is more than ample, but it's really dark in the evening so be careful when traveling alone. Note: I don't like it when the check comes with tip suggestions on it. I find it to be unjust. Moreover, I find it to be a tad outrageous when said tip suggestions include the tax. In fairness, right on their check is states, "Tip percentages are based on the check price after taxes". But why? The tip should be based on the subtotal before taxes and any discounts if applicable. Not to mention...the thing that always matters the most is service and the food...and that can go either way (up or down from the norm and/or baseline of 15%). I get in a "mood" instantly when I see these suggestions, especially when they include the tax. End Note: Speaking of discounts...yes I asked, there aren't any...so now you know...

We chose this restaurant after checking out reviews and getting a recommendation from our hotel's…read moreclerk. We are glad we did. We arrived a bit after 5 pm, too late to take advantage of early bird food specials but in time for happy hour (which ends at 6). This gave us 2-for-1 pricing on draft beer and house wine. We were seated immediately. By the time we left (around 6:30) there was a wait. We ordered drinks, and these and rolls were delivered with cinnamon butter and pats of plain butter. I ordered the Tuesday special, grouper "fingers," salad (soup is also a choice), and a sweet potato. My husband had linguine with chicken. Our server, Carmen, offered cinnamon butter for my sweet potato. Salad is tossed and plated at the table. It arrived well ahead of the entrées. We had the house-made ranch dressing. Overall, it was a pretty bland salad, mostly iceberg lettuce. The grouper was wonderful, lightly breaded and the perfect crispness. The portion of 3 filets was more than adequate. A small tub of Ken's tartar sauce was included. The cinnamon butter and sweet potato made an excellent combination and a great foil for the grouper. Everything was piping hot when it arrived. I wouldn't hesitate to order this combination again. My husband enjoyed his linguine. Given it was about an hour between when we were seated and when the entrées arrived, we thought the pace was rather slow. But the quality and quantity of food made up for it in my opinion.

Although it's spacious and holds a lot of…read morepeople, it still feels welcoming with attentive staff, art, decor and something to look at in every wall/table. The food was fresh and delicious, from the soft-warm-fluffy rolls to the creamy mouth watering cheesecake. The crab cake in the broiled platter was my favorite. My only complain will be that the cocktail and tartar sauce was not freshly made as it was from a packet and that the salad was previously frozen as some of the lettuce didn't thaw all the way. Nonetheless I will definitely return to enjoy another dish.
