    Bite out of my 1/3# burger.
    Michelle O.

    Came here for dinner. Had a good experience last year but not great this year. In town for a trade show at the Vibe Credit Union Collection down the street. There are 11 new f us so they were able to accommodate us. We had 6:30 reservations but they took us early. What ch was good cuz we were hungry. Large place. Fun decorations, a car an old model T is suspended above the bar. The horn goes off when bartenders get a tip. Bathroom is cool. Go see it. They have merch too. But it's too pricey for me. Alexis helped us. We got the menus and ordered a few apps. Felt like Alexis was in deep sales mode. She also was selling the drinks pretty hard. I wanted a cider but it ended up they were out of them all. Disappointing. On the menu they have the calories listed. So I became super conscious of trying to be reasonable with my choices. I got a 1/3 # burger-Americana and a side salad. Burger was super small. I/3 # seems like it would be a bit larger. It was slightly bigger than a slider. Salad had no tomatoes. Had red onion, cucumbers that were going bad, chi chi beans, a tiny bit of cheese. It was all just OK. We did try the apps pickles and onion rings. Both are breaded not battered. And they were just OK too. Overall, the whole experience was just OK. Alexis was attentive. But felt like she was very salesy in her approach to waiting on us. I don't know. Maybe we go try someplace else next year.

    Every time I dine here, the experience is excellent. The service is consistently sound and pleasant. I like the energy and the decor, it's fun! The food is very good. My favorite is the berries and Gorgonzola shrimp salad. It had strawberries, blueberries, cranberries, glazed walnuts, Gorgonzola and plump and flavorful shrimp. It's pretty much a perfect salad! Their burgers are tasty and juicy! I always get the onion rings because they are so good. The fish and chips are really delicious. The ahi tuna bowl is so fresh and near delectable. I look forward to my next visit.

    Ford's garage was a good experience. Service was friendly and really quick. There was a World Cup game when we went and enjoyed watching in a crowd. The food was hot and seemed home made, even the onion rings! I will say that the wait was pretty long, but the decor and vibes are really fun, getting to see some historic ford parts and we really enjoyed the retro feel. Though there's usually a wait, this place is reliable and charming!

    The ambiance is fun and lively for the whole family. I ordered the high-octane burger which was juicy and delicious. The fries were will seasoned and crispy. Highly recommend.

    The Estate Burger - delicious!!!
    Steve Z.

    Came to Ford's Garage recently (and previously multiple times) with some friends. The restaurant never fails to deliver consistent quality in their food, especially their yummy burgers. My wife and I had the Estate burger for the first time and it was absolutely delicious - I mean every bite was a wonder to my mouth. Will continue to come back here, as the staff is great, the inside is super cool and the food always delivers. If you haven't been to a Ford's Garage, you are missing out on some fantastic comfort food. See my burger pic for reference. ;)

    This restaurant perfectly matches the vibe of the Motor City. It is a great place to recommend or take people visiting the area on business trips. From the door handles at the entrance to the decorations throughout the restaurant--even in the restrooms--everything is filled with car-themed items, making it so much fun to look around. But it's not just a visual experience. The burgers were excellent. I ordered the "Ford's Signature," which is a very solid, classic burger without unnecessary frills. Personally, I care about the bun almost as much as the patty. The meat was incredibly juicy, and the grilled brioche bun didn't collapse, allowing me to enjoy the burger all the way to the very last bite. The tomato, onion, and lettuce were also very fresh and crunchy.

    Very cool decor inside, friendly staff and good service. The food was good. Everything we had tasted good, nothing that stood apart from any other chain restaurant though , which is why I gave the rating I did.

    Ahi tuna salad
    Tiffany Z.

    Cool atmosphere, clean tables. Very good service, especially for our large group. Just check the bill- they add gratuity automatically. The onion ring tower is super cool and yummy. I had the ahi tuna salad with truffle tots. I was impressed with the salad. Cool place for large groups.

    Ford's Garage in Novi, Michigan is ALWAYS a whole vibe From the huge, easy parking lot to the second you walk in, it's giving modern, fun, high-energy atmosphere. The entire place is decked out in old automobile memorabilia -- it literally feels like you're eating inside a classic Ford museum! The details are next level... even the BATHROOMS are themed! The sinks look like they're made from tires and the door handles are like gas pump nozzles and they even serve the food on automobile-style dinner ware -- the creativity is unreal! The ambiance is so relaxing, and it's sporting this really calming blue tone throughout that just makes you feel comfortable and at ease It's energetic but somehow still cozy at the same time. Now let's talk FOOD The fish was HUGE. When I say huge... I mean it was as long as my FOREARM Absolutely massive! Perfectly cooked, tender, flaky, and packed with flavor. You definitely get your money's worth! Those chicken wings?! ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE Bold flavor, juicy, fall-off-the-bone tender, and plated so beautifully they were almost too pretty to eat! Everything tastes fresh, high quality, and made with care And the prices? SPOT ON Great portions, amazing flavor, and you truly feel like you're getting value for what you pay. And the staff? 10/10 Our waitress Missy is absolutely AMAZING every single time we go she's attentive, friendly, and just makes the whole experience feel special. That kind of service keeps you coming back! Ford's Garage Novi is a must-visit Big portions, amazing food, creative details, calming ambiance, top-tier service, and prices that make sense! BIG Kudos See ya soon!

    Located in Novi near Twelve Oaks mall. Ample parking which lots of restaurants and activities near by. My family and I came on a Saturday afternoon. There was a little bit of a wait, but we didn't mind. Reservations are an option if you're tight on time. We were seated at a booth which gave us views of the restaurant. The Ford theme is present through from tire sinks and an actual car floating above the bar. For birthdays, celebrations, and kids of all ages, you can honk the horn, which is super cool. We started off with onion rings which was service on a tool looking item. Definitely don't know the terminology but I know it's car related. Love the attention to detail. My husband and I ordered burgers, which came branded with Ford Garage. Great presentation. Our service was great. He was attentive and kind. We enjoyed a few cocktails too. The hibiscus margarita was my drink of choice. Yum!

    We visited Ford's Garage in Novi late in the evening and really enjoyed the experience, though it did take some time to get our food. Making a reservation is definitely recommended to avoid waiting, as we walked in and had to give our names and wait to be called. This Ford auto-themed restaurant beautifully combines a love for cars with delicious cuisine. The decor is a car enthusiast's dream, from vintage memorabilia and sleek automotive art to car parts cleverly integrated into utensils, napkin rings, and even the restrooms, where the sinks are tires and the door handles are gas pumps. Dozens of little details, like radiator hose clamps holding napkins, make the theme fun without being tacky. Unfortunately, the service didn't quite match the atmosphere. Our waitress wasn't very attentive, a few orders were mixed up, and some items were forgotten, so we had to remind her. To be fair, it was a busy night and everyone can have an off day, and the situation did slowly get sorted out. The food itself was fresh, tasty, and served in generous portions, and the shared parking made the visit convenient. As someone who loves themed restaurants, I think this location feels extra special, especially being so close to Detroit. The menu even features local personalities and places, adding a personal touch. If you love cars, you'll love this place!

    Saturday afternoon. 30 mins wait but the three of us found spots at the bar. Super easy lunch and delicious plates. Onion rings to start, I recommend the chipotle ranch for dipping. I ordered blackened salmon entree. It is only $1 more and comes with 2 sides. Jalapeño creamed corn and green beans. Beans were hot! Mac n cheese as a side with the pulled pork sandwich was choice. Plenty of leftovers. Bartender, William, was very friendly and attentive. Excellent visit. Solid recommendation for lunch, to be sure.

    I have never seen a Ford Garage as empty when I got there at 11:30 am for their brunch, which is why they are discontinuing it. You can order from the regular menu also. I was with a friend which is good because it gave us someone to talk to while we had a long wait for our food. I ordered my regular Monte Cristo and she got the breakfast burrito. Neither one of us was impressed. I think my sandwich was left too long in a frier that had old oil in it. Not what I was use to getting from this place. I am a car nut like EBS was so I enjoy going to a place that think mounted engines and whole vehicles are art. I even know that the napkin rings are engine hose clamps and the napkins are shop rags. Hope to be back for the regular menu.

    Excellent Burger joint! I was drawn to this business based on all the excellent YELP reviews which…read morewere well deserved in my opinion and my new YELP quest to find the best Burger in Metro Detroit. For my first visit here I got their basic cheeseburger where I added Bacon and a second patty upgrading from a 1/4 pounder to a 1/2 Lb burger. My Burger was cooked to perfection and probably the juiciest burger I have had in this area (get extra napkins(: ). It was very tasty and clearly in the upper echelon of the burgers I have tried. At $10.50 which included the two upgrades of bacon and 2nd patty was a deal in my opinion especially when you consider the quality of the burger. Relative to staff and facility, the staff was very friendly and checked in on me twice during my meal to include the owner which is amazing when you consider this is a counter order operation. Facility itself is clean and large with a lot of tables, both indoor and outdoor dining. This restaurant has an open kitchen/grill that is visible to the dining area offering great sight lines into their operation which I actually enjoyed. Overall a top shelf unpretentious burger centric joint. If you are into well made tasty burgers and are in the area than this is a must visit that should not be missed!

    We ordered from their food truck. The staff was nice and they had a unique selection which was…read moreawesome! We each had the rodeo burger and garlic fries. I felt the burger and fries were good but so salty I wasn't able to finish either. The flavor for the first bit of fries was great but after a bit I just couldn't take the salt anymore! I would like to go back and try their actual restaurant and a different burger, maybe a different selection would be a little less salty. Loved their presentation with the flag in the burger!
