Took our out -of -state guests here for lunch...Service was spot on...thanks to our server, Steve. All 4 burgers were different and absolutely delicious... The only downside was the beer...we ordered 3 Modelo Drafts..All FLAT...no head at all...exchanged for Iced Tea.... This is a venue where you want to get a beer with just about everything you order. So it was very surprising and disappointing, to say the least. Food Great, Service wonderful, Beer, Meh!!! read more

Love Ford's Garage! Awesome food and great atmosphere! BBQ nachos are the best!! Always have a good meal.

If you enjoy burgers, and draft beers, this is your place. As we pass the Model T in front of restaurant, it bring back some insight into our old 1920s 1930s auto garage. Even the bathrooms carry the same theme. For appetizer, we share an Onion Ring Tower. The deep fried onion rings were crunchy and tasty. My wife ordered Ford's Signature burger, or burger with chedder bacon, BBQ sauce, lettuce, tomato and red onion on a brioche bun with Ford's Garage mark. Her side with sweet potato fries with cinnamon sauce. She love her burger! Mine is the (American) Kobe Beef burger topped with Swiss cheese, caramelized onions, arugula, garlic aioli, lettuce and tomato on brioche bun. I also ordered the sweet potato fries. It was delicious with a local draft beer from Fort Myers Brewing Co, Gateway Gold. My other guest had the mushroom Swiss Burger with Swiss cheese, sautéed mushrooms, lettuce, tomato and onion. Another guest ordered the Black and Blue Burger. The Black and Blue Burger was smothered with Blue cheese, bacon, caramelized onion, lettuce, tomato on a pretzel bun. They both enjoyed their burgers. For this month, there is a special draft beer from Harpoon Brewery for $4.50 all month long! Very interesting! The ambience is great and our server, Jenny, did a great job of getting the drinks and food. Highly recommend place for draft beers and burgers! read more

Stopped in here after a hard afternoon of shopping! Food was good. I specifically asked for a custom chicken sandwich which they accommodated very nicely. The fries were excellent. My husband had the burger, which he said was very very good. My husband is a veteran of the US Army and they honored him by giving him a veterans discount. Thanks Ford's garage will be back. read more

We've visited this location several times since & it's our kid's favorite place when we're in town. Food is always good & pretty consistent as well. Also worth noting that the staff is wonderful. Definitely a great place for families, especially if you use their rewards program which is great. The theming is great both inside & out. The restaurant does get busy, but they're good about getting you a table as quickly as possible. Keep up the good work! read more

We eat here often because it is close to our bank and the Publix we shop at. We quit for a while when they chose to serve cold chicken on their salads instead of grilled (which I will never forgive them for). But the rest of the menu is good and the service is excellent so we returned, but not quite as often because I really like salads. read more

So a year has passed and we decided to visit again as near our hotel suite for the weekend. We were glad we did ... The Bang Bang Shrimp was hot, sweet, and crispy. A beautiful appetizer perhaps a little expensive but well worth the admission. We also tried the Buffalo Dip and Chips. This was a warm dip with chunks of chicken and celery in a creamy buffalo concoction. Most of the family did burgers including the kids. Grandpa chose the fresh chicken strips and fries. More than plenty and looked like hand breaded I. Store. He thought they were great. The burgers we made to order and tasted fine, could use a little more seasoning however. My Limited Edition burger called the 76'er had bacon and deep fried pickle planks. I didn't like the pickles themselves, but made crispy and seemed like a unique offering to any burger. Everyone was full but decided on the Funnel Cake Fries. Everyone could not stop the dipping and the crispy fresh sweet sticks. read more

Arrived for Happy Hour, no draft beers available. Bud bottles$5.00each. Burger was average Duffy's across the street, is a better option.

Great customer service! On our way to see a hockey game at Germain Arena and visited Ford's before the game. Everything was fresh and they had a huge beer list to choose from. Walk into the bathroom to wash your hands in a tire!! They have great burgers and healthier options if you can resist the temptation of their awesome menu! Try Ford's! read more

We met some friends here for dinner last night. It was quite busy for a Tuesday. All of the staff were wearing masks. They were out of several of the beers that we wanted to try. That was OK because they had a large selection and we ended up finding something we liked. Our server Oscar was polite and prompt. I tried the appetizer boom boom shrimp, it was good, but quite spicy. My wife had a nice arugula salad that she liked a lot. Others at our table had the mahi-mahi and the Cobb salad. Everyone was pleased with their entrées. This was our first time here but we would definitely be back. Can't wait to try the burgers and the onion rings! read more

Super yummy!! I've been craving their loaded nachos!! Must try! 10/10 the food is great! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food was. The lobster Mac n cheese was one of the best I've had and the burger selection was outstanding. Great variety of drinks and a good beer selection. They even had Sander's Bumpy Cake for dessert read more

This was my first time at Ford's Garage, and I had a phenomenal experience! Spencer was our waiter and demonstrated excellent customer service throughout our meal, not to mention the food was absolutely delicious! Andrew also checked in on our party which displayed qualities that many managers in today's business world fail to exhibit. I will certainly return to such a fine establishment. read more

Great food, fun atmosphere for an outlet mall restaurant! I was pleasantly surprised by Ford's, really cool decor, cool garage vibe ! I wish I took pics of the sinks in the bathrooms, super cool. We came here before the Chris Young concert at Germain Arena. We came for an early dinner and hit it at the perfect time, no wait but the line got long as the evening progressed. They have a really cool outside bar and in the area of the outdoor mall this is in there is a large fountain and some live music. Ford's has a great craft beer selection, I had Abita Brewing Andygator, loved it! The Black and Bleu burger was phenomenal, and my Liberty Mule with blueberries and cucumber hit the spot. Also a must try is the Pulled pork Mac and Cheese! Ford's we will be back ! read more

Always good spot for burger and fries. Very loud inside. Fun decor especially the bathroom

Much too loud. Good food and excellent prices but atmosphere is not the best. Good service but servers cannot hear what the customers are ordering. Get there early if you want to be seated. read more

Ford's Garage is such a cool theme I always look around & find something new to talk about. This place makes for a good conversation. The food is always good too! If you're at the Miromar Outlets, Stop in! read more

Great meatloaf!! Fun decor, great patio. Be sure to go inside and check out their really cool restrooms.

Ford's Garage is a Ft Myers original! Yes, there's a few locations but this place is a must visit if you aren't from the area. Also, if you don't know Ford's connections with this piece of the world then head to his home for a tour to learn more. Back to the review.... Ford's Garage just redid their menu, and boy are their burgers and options all tempting. Our group had to ask for more time THREE times since we couldn't decide what to eat. For the first time, I ended up getting a salad instead of a burger. I was worried I'd be disappointed as everyone's burgers arrived, but boy was I happy with my choice. While their burgers are delicious, juicy, and tasty, I was in the mood for a lighter option. I went with the chopped salad with chicken on it and dressing on the side. (Picture uploaded too!) Everyone else got a variety of burgers. Silence around the table when the food arrived, and now I have a new salad to crave which is rare. Don't miss this place! read more

Ford's Garage Estero - How cool are these sinks! Check out the bathrooms here. - Bars Near Me - Estero, Florida

Stopped at this place in the discount mall because it looked really cool from the outside, and it's really cool inside as well. That have a great burger selection as well as upgrades to prime beef, Waygu etc... I had the Angus burger and was not disappointed the flavor was great. The fries were just ok, however everything was served hot which I really like. The disappointment of this place was the service. I only like my beer empty when I am not having another. I had to flag someone down for a beer refill. The tip definitely reflects the mediocre service I received. Might try them again, however only 3 stars with ok fries and mediocre service. read more

We went to Fords Garage and had Natalia as our waitress and she was wonderful. Had a surprise party for my daughter and she was great in helping me take care of taking care of my guests. Thank you you so much Natalia! read more

My parents and I came here for lunch today. The food was delicious! The burgers and fries were delicious and wonderful! The restaurant was very clean and I love the signs on the tables regarding the table being sanitized or not! I love the old ford car in the front of the restaurant! We can't wait to come back there for lunch in the future! read more

Really enjoyed our meal at Ford's Garage. The restaurant was very nice and clean. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. Our party had the funnel of onion rings, a brisket sandwich, and the chicken tenders. The chicken tenders were moist and Ford's breading was delicious. The brisket sandwich was a big hit too. The only downside was my chocolate milkshake was a little thin. Make sure you stop in here. You will enjoy the food. Make sure you check out the bathroom before you leave. read more

We had lots of fun here. The food is absolutely amazing. We had a great waiter, who met all our needs. Also we saw some really cool things. Like the tire sinks, and the bar Ford car centerpiece hanging from the ceiling. read more

We had lunch here on a Saturday. The place was busy, but seating was readily available. The waitress was super nice and is the reason this place gets four stars instead of three. Without her, the place is a solid three star restaurant. Food takes a while to come--I think we waited 40 mins for a chicken dish and a large salad. Everything was good and hot, so no real complaints beyond the backed up kitchen. read more

The burgers in this place are absolutely incredible. The atmosphere is really fun and different inside but the service is absolutely terrible. I sat at the bar and the server never came around to us unless we specifically called him over for help. He would disappear for 5-10 minutes at a time as well. Super unfortunate because the place has some amazing potential! read more

I ordered French Onion soup and it was luke warm at best, our waitress said they couldn't reheat it and after about 20 minutes brought me another bowl which was only slightly warmer. I don't know if she let it sit too long or if the kitchen somehow managed to melt the cheese without getting the soup hot. I only ate about 1/4 of each bowl at best, the broth taste was good but that is the best I can say. They still charged me full price for half eaten soup. We will not be going back for soup! read more

Bad bar service! Waited 10 minutes at least with very few people at the bar. I asked the bartender for help and she responded rudely. I left! I do not recommend this place! read more

The ambiance is rustic garage, barn, loud type place inside, outside is an excellent patio with tvs and live music. This place is perfect to stop when you shop the Miramar mall. Cute sidewalk town center feeling. The food is usually decent. They have many different beers and full bar. Great place to hang out. read more

Gray food, drinks are good, service is excellent. One of our top picks for a casual night out.

Just ordered pick up from here! Really love this place so it's a disappointment. The buffalo Mac n cheese was cold so the cheese didn't melt fully. and the wedge fries were just thrown in the to-go box and not cooled so they became soggy :( not good for pickup read more

The ambulance was eclectic and fun, but the food. I ordered salmon and broccoli and green beans as my two side. The broccoli looked like chopped up overcooked scrapings from the bottom on a frozen food bag. The beans were okay but the salmon was not fresh. I tossed and turned all night. The service was blah. Our waitress never cracked a smile. Will not return and do not recommend. read more

We last came here last summer and it's always one of our favorite places to eat. The place was packed so we decided to eat outside even thought it was a little cooler out that day. Our server, Compton, was phenomenal. From the moment we sat down he asked us about our drink needs and provided a sample of the beer I was asking about. My wife ordered an appetizer as a meal and it literally came out in minutes after we ordered. I ordered the jiffy burger and a side salad. It came out very quickly as well. It was probably the best burger I have had in a very long time. Great service, great food and a impressive beer selection as well. We can't wait to come back. read more

Fords Garage has been at this location for 4 years and all my travels to see Nana in Fort Myers never heard of it!! Until I heard that they are opening one in my area of Winter Garden!! So I had to try it!! Great concept with the oil rag napkins to the Ford cars on this play..plenty of room,lots of TVs..the funnel onion ring tower... The service was great managers walking around checking on things... Now on the food!! The ANGUS burgers are so juicy and meaty! WOW!! you are gonna pay a little more but it is soooo worth it! They name their burgers after local figures so we shall see who makes the list here in Orange County ..lol ..overall it's gonna do well in this area with lots of homes and once the movie theater opens they will be making lots of money!! See you in 2018!!! read more
