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. read more

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. ;) read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Fords Garage is a place I never really thought to try. To be honest, it definitely feels like more of a guy's spot. You're not likely to see a group of girls dining here. The decor is fully decked out in Ford gear, which adds a fun and unique vibe to the place. The menu is mostly burgers, so I ordered the Cali Burger, and it was delicious. I've had it twice now and both times the bun was buttery, the meat was super tender, and it really just melted in my mouth. The fries were perfectly crispy and not overly salty. I came on a Saturday night and surprisingly didn't have to wait for a table. The only downside was the number of birthday celebrations as they honk a really loud horn each time, which got a little annoying after a while. Call me a prude if you want! Overall, I'd definitely come back, probably with my husband rather than a group of girlfriends, but the food makes it worth it. read more

Everything was amazing! The whole vibe of the place is awesome. With quotes of Henry Ford throughout the restaurant, to gas pump handles on doors. The decor is spectacular. The service was stellar, all the way from being greeted and seated, to being waited on, extremely courteous! Love the uniforms The food, very good! We had buffalo wings, the blue cheese is so good. We split the black n bleu burger and chop chop salad. Highly recommend if you like blue cheese. Our 8 year old grandson had the American standard cheeseburger and devoured it and our 5 year old enjoyed the grilled cheese. Great overall experience! A must t read more

Owen our server was phenomenal!!! He rushed our food as he knew we had to be at the airport for our flight and brought our bill out with the food so we didnt have to wait! The food was delicous (at least mine was) my mom says he monte cristo was a little overcooked but the fries were great. My fish was super crispy and delicous I will definitely have to eat here again when I'm nearby. The themeing was also super fun and the bathrooms were cool I cant wait to eat here again hopefully soon! Would reccomend to anyone flying out of Detroit wanting a bite before their flight!! read more

We are glad that we called ahead prior to our visit to Ford's Garage! This place is very busy and it seems as if there is typically a long wait to get seated. We really enjoyed our experince here! The atmosphere is very cool, and we especially liked the hanging car over the bar. We got the cheese curbs, bacon burger, nachos with pulled pork, and the brookie sundae. It seems like a great place for large groups and parties, or families as the servings are large! The food was good, nothing astonishing, but the brookie sundae was out of this world!! The service was great and our waitress was very attentive and helpful! read more

I can't remember what dish I ate because I'm writing this a bit late. I just remember that it was so good that the next day my husband and I were still in town. We ended up ordering it to go and brought it back to our hotel room. That being said the first time I was there, somebody walked past me with a large amount of lavender oil as their perfume, and I am allergic to lavender. I started having a massive asthma attack, which I didn't have my inhaler. The manager just kind of looked at me and brushed me off I couldn't talk because I was choking like crazy and my husband had no idea what was going on and he just stared as well. It was a terrible experience. I ended up texting that I'm having an asthma attack on my phone and showed it to my husband and said I can't breathe. They asked me if I needed an emergency vehicle to come out, but I tried to calm myself and get the asthma attack under control. It was a massive moment of confusion because nobody really knew what to do. After that debacle, we were seated and the place is really cool. The dish that I got was really delicious. read more

Good food and friendly service. Interesting decors to look at. Just that their wait time estimate is not very on point, when they tell you 30 minutes wait, it could be 15 minutes or 45 minutes. If you are hungry and there is a 30 minutes wait, you are better off abort, it's not worth it to punish you stomach. If there is no wait, go dead and enjoy yourself, the fish and chip is so big, you can survive a whole day with this one meal. read more

Didn't know this location existed until today when I saw it while out shopping. Decided to stop in for dinner and drinks. The food was good. Nothing special to write home about. The smoked old fashion was pretty good. Even though I sat at the bar, the service was phenomenal. They all seemed very attentive and knowledgeable. Because the Lions were playing later, they had Happy Hour all day which is cool. Even as they had quite a number of tvs showing football games, the restaurant never seemed too loud. If in the area, check them out. read more

Food - my salad was good! I had a Chicken Cobb Salad with a strawberry and garlic salad dressing. There was a generous amount of sliced chicken strips, and they were cooked at the right temperature so not dry at all The waitress was so attentive and very helpful with suggestions. My friend said the burger was just okay, not great, but fine. We did like that they brand the name Ford on the top of the bun- that's unique. The other orders were steak, fries and mac and cheese (skip the mac and cheese) it was childish. The best thing was the service, and the ambiance. I will definitely come again, as it's a fun place. I think it would be a great place to watch a game and hangout with friends from in or out of town. They also sell T-Shirts with the Ford logo. Next time I'll try some of the appetizers. read more

Met with some ex work friends for lunch. I have been to the Dearborn location but this is my first time here. I ordered ribs, friend ordered a burger and the other got chicken strips. Both my friends liked their meals. The ribs I ordered were really dry and the BBQ sauce was really bland. Mac and cheese was ok but also lacking flavor. I will try this place again but never getting the ribs. I like the interior and the bar looks really nice. read more

Very nice server (that's what gets it 2 stars). I had wanted to go to Picassos deli, but while maps said it was open on January 2nd, it was not. I'd never been to this restaurant. I knew it was a theme restaurant but thought we'd try it out. I got the chicken nachos (which is not pulled chicken but chunks of chicken). And I ate very little of it. They had no salsa. Nachos, but no salsa at all? Weird. And the cheese tasted like I would imagine cheese whiz would taste (though I've never had it and don't want to) - gross. The relative I went with was surprised that most people dining there were over 40 (what with the big bar and all the flat screen tvs), and I just said that younger people couldn't afford to eat out at a place like that (and for the record, most people were over 50). It was pricy, for what you got. I would not go back. Live and learn. read more

I ordered their NEW Highway 101 Burger with Classic Tots ($16) for lunch today at 11:30 AM. with a Diet Coke ($3.75). IT WAS THE BEST HAMBURGER I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!. A half pound of ANGUS BEEF cooked to a perfect medium rare, gouda cheese, BACON, and some other incidentals on a Brioche Bun. I was smacking my lips during the entire experience. My taste buds were dancing. The Tots were TASTY and CRUNCHY, not greasy. I sat at the bar and Laney was very polite and attentive. The manager (Brian?) came by to check on me and I told him how WONDERFUL this NEW burger was. Ambiance is great for a date. I shall return next time I want an AWESOME burger. read more

Stopped in for a promotion celebrating the anniversary of the Ford Mustang, which was a pretty good deal ($10 for a burger, fries, and beer). The burger was decent, but in my opinion lacked seasoning and was slightly over cooked. The fries were not abundant (perhaps a lunch portion or smaller amount for the promotion?), but were delicious - perfectly cooked and seasoned. Enjoyed the auto-themed atmosphere and friendly service, and walking distance to the movie theatre! read more

We were in town for a hockey tournament and decided to check out this place out. The inside has different Ford items on display. We did have to wait about 20 minutes for 3 people. Had the pretzel appetizer which came out nice and hot. Had a craft beer. Had the monte christo so good and filling. My daughter had the sirloin was a big chewy and my son had the American standard burger which he liked both items cooked as requested. Service was a bit slow but overall a 4 star. read more

Everything was amazing food wise we had the buffalo dip and a couple of burgers. I will say the burgers were amazing. There's a large amount of want to claim they have the best burger around here. Well you haven't tried these yet to make your final vote. We will be returning often. Our waitress was Amber and she was absolutely amazing from the moment we introduced ourselves the service was top notch. Very attentive and willing to make a great little joke or knowledge about the cars in the restaurant. Ask for her by name. You won't be disappointed. The ambience of the restaurant was one of a well oiled machine i applaude the entire staff job well done.. ps please add real jelly to the options for the Jiffy Burger is amazing together.

As a vegan I wasn't sure if I'll be able to get there but after some research I figured what I can get. Remove the sauce from "clean and green" and substitute brioche bun with pretzel bun. I added couple of things to my burger and it was very good. Didn't want anything fried so got broccoli as a side. If you're vegan, make sure to ask no butter. The interior of the restaurant is amazing, just for that is well worth going there. So much automotive industry related items make this place. I was impressed with the decor. Our server was very attentive and nice. There were 12 of us having lunch and we all enjoyed our food. I'll definetly be back. read more
