    Love how creative this food and beverage experience is from the time you walk in, to using the restroom to leaving! Everything is so well thought out I always come back and have to try something new every-time I come! Ambiance is sTOP tier and love the hanging car! Service at the outside bar wasn't very friendly today but every other time our service has been amazing.

    Burger was flavorful but pretty small, fries were a very small serving also. Thai chicken salad was big and delicious. Cool decoration.

    Smoked Brisket Burnt Ends Melt. Spectacular
    Daniel M.

    Stopped for a quick lunch bite by myself. Sat outside by the bar. Place was packed. I had the smoked brisket burnt ends melt. Gonna say this is one of the best tasting sandwiches I have ever had. Loved it. That's the only thing I had so that's that. The service was excellent and the place definitely has a great atmosphere. Can't wait to go back and try everything else on the menu. Enjoy

    Ford's Garage is a must-see for even the lightest car enthusiast. The interior decor is unique including the restrooms - which are also a must-see pit stop. The restaurant was a bit crowded mid-afternoon Sunday with a slow green flag at the hostess stand to seat us and the service was in a bit of a slow gear. Get revved up with the smoked Old Fashioned or appetizers of fried pickles and onion ring tower. Your tank will be fueled by the time your table finishes the delicious burger, fries, or Parmesan truffle fries.

    Amazing food and great experience! This was my first time bringing out-of-town guests from Canada, and it did not disappoint. The Giant Funnel Tower of Jumbo Piston Onion Rings is a must-try starter -- crispy, flavorful, and just plain fun. For mains, we ordered the Black & Bleu Burger, BBQ Brisket Burger, High Octane Burger, and the Blackened Salmon -- and every single dish was excellent. We were especially impressed that each burger was stamped with the Ford's Garage signature logo -- such a cool and unique touch that adds to the theme. Great flavors, generous portions, and perfectly cooked. Although there was a hiccup regarding the wrong order, it was promptly corrected. Definitely a place I'll come back to!

    Food is always good, atmosphere is great. The prices have increased which is not bad but the portions ridiculously small.

    Do They have outdoor seating and are they pet friendly? I'm driving through with a pet, and I'm looking for someplace to stop.

    Yes to both. If you get on the waitlist be sure to specify outdoor

    Do they take reservations?

    Yes they do. I usually call I before going since they are at the outlets and it can get busy real quick.

    We stopped by Oak & Stoney while visiting, and honestly it turned into one of those meals where you…read morekeep saying "okay this is the last thing we're ordering"... and then order something else. First, the food was great. We tried the mushroom burger, the smash burger, and a quinoa bowl, and everything was really good. The burgers were flavorful and satisfying, and the quinoa bowl made us feel like we were making at least one responsible life choice that day. But the real star of the show was the self-serve beer tap wall. They give you a wristband, you tap it on the machine, and pour whatever beer you want. Then you just pay for exactly how much you pour. Which sounds responsible... until you realize you can try a little bit of everything. We ended up sampling several different beers because it was just too fun not to. Tons of variety, and everything we tried was excellent. The only suggestion I'd have: it would be amazing if there was a small tasting station so people could try. When there are that many options, choosing can feel like a very serious life decision. Overall though, great food, a really fun concept, and a cool atmosphere. 10/10 would absolutely come back... mostly to "responsibly" test more beers.

    On the advice of the really nice man at the car rental, we stopped here after our flight. I wanted…read morebreakfast. He wanted lunch. Kids weren't very hungry. I got avocado eggs on everything biscuit. Outstanding! He ended up getting the breakfast burrito (last minute change of mind). Kids got a mini waffle and fruit bowls. Loved it! A great place to eat when no one knows what they want! Oh, and they have a lot of different beers if you're into that.

It's in a small center near the FGCU campus, just South of the shopping center. They have comfortable inside and outside eating areas with the bar splitting between the two. David, our bartender, was a delightful guy. Attentive, friendly and full of great conversations. Happy Hour specials all week long. Today was Tuesday.... Thus we ordered "Buck-a-shuck" oysters. Very plump. Serve cold on a bed of ice with cocktail sauce & horseradish sauce. They were fabulous!! We would definitely stop again because there are other items on the menu to try.

Drinks were reasonably priced. Definitely got to try the Larry's Lemonade. Was a refreshing drink (alcoholic) especially in the heat. I wouldn't say there is anything special about the food except it's typical bar food and reasonable prices. Pretzel sticks for appetizer were a little tough and didn't taste too good. Cheese with pretzels was nothing special, just tasted like plain nacho cheese. The Grilled chicken Caesar wrap was good and the fries were like potato wedges. Fries are a must with your sandwich! Husband said his blackened grouper platter was good, nothing fancy but decent flavor. Will visit again because the food was good with reasonable prices and nice outdoor patio!
