    Pretzels
    Juliemar R.

    This is my second time going to a Ford's Garage. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The let us know upon arrival that their service is now collective and that they add gratuity that is distributed among the team so we may not have the same server. I think that worked out great and our food came in a timely manner and was delicious. I had the chicken wings at the other location I went to and this one was just as good so points for consistency! Ambiance is fun and and we had a good time.

    Standard burger and french fries!

    For the first time a bartender we've never seen before seemed angry and depressed. (Employees that are sad like this should not have direct contact with customers. Another thing we noticed was that the food came out lukewarm, which is very dissatisfying. And happened the last time we came to the Oviedo Restaurant, too.? Ambiance is cool, with Ford paraphernalia.

    Coming from California to Florida to visit cousins, they took us here. This was a wonderful surprise! Great food. With wide variety of options. Nice week day meal deals. Among the best tasting chicken tenders I have tasted. Pretzel appetizer with cheese dip is a must. I had one of the most delicious Old Fashions, Burnout Old Fashioned made with Whistle Pig, fantastic flavor by added smoke. Our server, Brooke, was so friendly and cheerful. She was quick with the food and always stopping by to check on our party of 8 people. Whenever we come back to Florida for a visit, we will come and hopefully have Brooke as our server! The variety of Ice Tea flavors has to be experienced to be sure.

    We've been coming to the Ford's Garage in Oviedo for about three years now, and it's consistently a great experience. My first experience at a Ford's Garage was in downtown Fort Myers years ago now, and while this location doesn't quite have the same OG ambiance, we're happy to have one close to home. One thing I do appreciate about this location is that they don't enforce the mandatory 20% service charge like the I-Drive location. I got the cheese CURBS to share, and had the Model 'A' burger (without bacon) as my entree. Love a good egg-on-a-burger combo! Our waitress was very kind and gave us a top tier service. Overall, this location will remain as one of our go-to spots for dinner, and I definitely recommend it!

    Old-fashioned garage theme

    My daughter and I had a very good experience at Ford's Garage in Oviedo. I had heard that this restaurant is famous for its excellent burgers. Our burgers were much better than we expected. They were large and juicy. Everything was delicious. The waitress was very attentive and helpful. When we checked in to get seated, they informed us that there was going to be a 20% automatic charge to tip employees that were not our waitress and that we were supposed to tip the waitress separately. We were glad that they explained this clearly upfront. The price of the burgers was reasonable. The restaurant was decorated with the automotive theme, which was fun. The window-door separating the outside eating area from the inside was open. Therefore we didn't freeze in the air conditioned temperature as in most restaurants. Instead, it was comfortable.

    Great burgers, service and atmosphere! Love the vibe and service! Burgers had a great grill mark and the onion ring tower was fun!

    The Ford's Garage in Oviedo is a great choice when I want a decent burger! The restaurant is located in Oviedo on the Park. They have a dedicated parking lot but there is other parking lots nearby if you need to park further. It can get busy inside. They also have some outside seating. Reservations can be made for tables of six or less people on their website. They have a waiting list you can get on for same day reservations. Love these options! Food is consistent. You can't go wrong with any of the burgers. They have delicious (and large) nachos as well as pretzels as appetizers. Don't forget about their long list of beer here too! I didn't try anything on the brunch menu this time but it looked tasty!

    Caramel Apple Cookie Skillet

    Best fried pickles I've ever had, the cucumber wasabi ranch that comes with it has the perfect amount of spice that you feel in your nose. The estate burger was a great option, the red onion marmalade and truffle aioli was a great mix of flavors. Sweet potato tots were crispy and fluffy. The caramel apple cookie skillet was warm gooey and delicious. There is a 20% gratuity charge added to your bill, with no further tip expected, however the staff more than deserve it with their quick, polite, and insightful service. I found myself tipping extra. Super cool interior designs, with a full car above the bar, tire and gas nozzle sinks, oil rags for napkins, they really thought of everything. I will be back for sure!

    Burned Meatloaf

    12/24/2025 @7:20 PM. The food took forever. This is a picture of a burned meatloaf, they tried to cover it with the disgusting gravy but when I removed it, surprise, surprise. What a shame!

The menu is pretty basic, as was the food. Nothing exceptional in my opinion, but we had a great meal, had a very decent price! I enjoyed my biscuits and gravy, and my husband's Nutella French toast tasted even better than I expected. The staff was great, and our food did not take long to come out. Seeing the items that the other members of our table ordered, if I were to return here, the side of cheesy potatoes is at the top of my list! These looked delicious. Another nice touch was the mural on the back of the building, behind the patio seating area. Such a nice spot for a photo as we came here on our honeymoon!

I went on a Saturday around 10am and was seated right away. The restaurant is very large. There is a cute area in the front with merch options, a diner counter, lots of booths and tables, and a big porch area in the back for seating. The restaurant sits along a popular bike trail and you will see many people biking on by. The service was great. The waitress was so pleasant and helpful when ordering and made sure I got everything I wanted. Timing in drinks and food was spaced out nicely. I ordered a large orange juice and the white chocolate chip pumpkin pancakes. Plus got scrambled eggs and 2 sausage patties. The pancakes were so beyond delicious! I highly recommend ordering. I didn't even need syrup the pancakes stood well alone. The sausage was very flavorful. My friend got the sausage gravy with biscuit, eggs, potatoes, and bacon. They loved their meal. I can't wait to come back and try dinner here. They are open for all the meals!

You get the feel of true americana diner, lay back, relaxed just good food that puts you back on the road feeling good. I usually get one of two things here: 1. Chicken and waffles. Fair warning it will ruin chicken and waffles for you. After this you might find good but never this good. A giant Belgian waffle, half a fried Chicken, fresh made to order fantastic chicken!!!! I need a picture and might use that as an excuse to go to Metro :D 2. The Fried chicken platter. Same fantastic fried chicken with regular sides, Seasoned fries that are great and their creamy (done right cause you are in the south) Mc- n-Cheese.

We ordered steaks cooked medium well--nothing crazy, just a little pink in the middle like most people expect. Instead, we had to send the steak back twice because it came out way too rare/red in the center both times. Then the "manager" Mariah showed up with the returned steak the first time. She stood there while my wife cut into it, revealing it was still basically raw/red inside. We politely pointed it out and reminded her we'd ordered medium well. Her response? "I know what medium well means." When I asked her what she thought it should look like, she snapped back with, "I'm not the one eating it." Seriously? That level of rude, dismissive attitude from a manager is unbelievable. No apology, no ownership, just pure sass and zero customer service. I told her I'd be leaving a review about this mess, and she casually mentioned she'd already "informed" her boss, the managing partner Rachel. Guess what? Rachel never bothered to come to the table, check on us, or even pretend to care. Not a single attempt to make it right. We've given this location so many chances over the years, but tonight was the last straw. Inconsistent cooking (they can't seem to get medium well right), terrible attitudes from management, and zero accountability when things go wrong. If you actually care about getting a properly cooked steak and being treated like a paying customer instead of an inconvenience, avoid this location at all costs. They clearly don't value regulars or basic respect. One star is generous--save your money and your patience somewhere else.

It's an elevated Cajun experience, starting with the debris spring rolls, pot roast and manchego cheese fried to crisp perfection in an egg roll with a delicious beef gravy for dipping. Their hurricane is strong and authentic. Jazz music flows through the restaurant and everywhere you look has color, glitz and glam! You haven't had shrimp and grits til you've had them as grit cakes, get the shrimp and grit cake: Monica style, if you don't like spice, maybe don't get it but it's delicious otherwise. The combination of the crunchy fried exterior and the creamy grits inside is such a yummy experience. Lastly, you have to get beignets and an espresso martini. As a beignet obsessed person, it pains me to say that their bread pudding is the superior dessert. I'm not a HUGE fan of the croissant flaky style of beignet that's become the norm for most places, but that's what they have here. I'd much prefer the classic beignet with the pocket of air in the middle. But otherwise they're still amazing and the espresso martini is delicious. Sarah B was an efficient and friendly waitress! If you need a NOLA fix, this is the place to go! Laissez les bon temps rouler!

    I've been going to Aurora for a few years now, primarily for their Happy Hour. It's one of the few…read moredecent happy hours in all of Oviedo, as crazy as that is. They have a few nice craft beers on tap and the most amazing hummus platter ever. So many places give you a tiny dollop of hummus, a few crackers and if you're lucky a few cut up carrots. Not here, you get a giant amount of hummus - you get house made lavash - and you get beautiful baby medium sized carrots and all of that is only $8 on happy hour. The hummus is very flavorful with a tiny kick and the lavash is super crunchy with an amazing seasoning on it that reminds me of "everything bagel seasoning". You'll see two different pictures - these were taken a year or more apart but you can see things have barely changed. You always get the amazing crackers and carrots and a huge amount of hummus. They also have a few great wines by the glass on happy hour, some yummy sliders, and now a pepperoni pizza that looks awesome but I haven't tried yet.

    Dined here for the first time with a group of about 12 in the private room. I gotta admit, service…read morewas slow, especially when we were checking out and it was a company dinner so there was only 1 credit card to run which took about 30 mins. Other than that, the food was great. I sampled a few items of the apps that people ordered. From what I can remember, the truffle fries really stood out. For my entree, I got the chopped elk medium cooked. It was fantastic. Very delicious and almost tasted like a really beefy meatloaf. Not gamey at all. The sauce drizzled on it was so savory. I wished there were more mashed potatoes underneath because those were amazing too. It was also a very big portion. Definitely recommend. Would come back again and try something else or even order that again.

    Great food, I had the garlic Parmesan wings and would come back for those alone. Super tasty,…read moreclassic wet wings. Next time I want to try mixing two flavors. The service was friendly across the board, and everything came out quickly, both drinks and food. Brunch prices are a great deal, too. The vibe is perfect for a casual but fun weekend outing, more elevated than a dive bar but still laid-back. I'm glad I stopped by because the Yelp photos didn't do it justice, hopefully I can help add some that'll show the vibes better. I'll definitely be back to The Porch.

    It's been a while, but my husband and I were looking to get a chicken Caesar wrap. They had a…read moreCaesar salad on the menu, but our server said we could do the wrap with either grilled or crispy chicken. It was around $4 - $5 to add chicken. We also tried the mimosa double since they had a special for brunch for $5.50. I got the breakfast sandwich which came with smashed potatoes. The server was great and checked in on us several times. The food took a good amount of time to arrive, but it was decent. I had a bite of the wrap and I liked the crunch of the croutons. I felt like it could've used a smidge more dressing, but it was overall good. The sandwich was also good, but I think it could've benefitted from being on sliced and toasted bread instead of potato bun. The egg was also very well done; I prefer it a little jammy or runny. The smashed potatoes were pretty good and it came with a decent amount. The mimosa couldn't used a smudge more orange juice, but it was a double so understandable. A little loud inside, but it's an open area with dart boards and loud conversations. We didn't have to yell and we could carry a conversation well enough. Parking was a bit rough. We parked around the corner on the street.

    I came to the Bayou with some coworkers one evening after work. There were about six of us. We were…read moreseated promptly, and got to chill and drink during the short wait for the rest of our party to arrive. Ambiance is always so chill in there. Mood lighting, great artwork on the walls, and poppin' music. During our stay, the music might have actually been a little too poppin'. We had to really approach shouting to be able to have a conversation with each other. Service was good. We had a very nice server who took good care of us. They were out of a few food and drink items, but that might have been our bad. Our visit Was only two days after Mardi Gras. So, no points deducted, just be wary of maybe holding off coming here until they can replenish from Mardi Gras. As for the food, I started off with the Cajun Dip (spinach, cheddar, monterey Jack, brie, mozzarella, garlic bread, tri-color chips). Nice little dip. A good mixture of spinach earthiness and cheese, not too salty. Chips were good and crunchy, could have had more of that awesome bread. But overall a very nice app. As for my entree, I think I had a nice jambalaya. I can't find it on the menu right this moment, but I'm pretty sure that's what it was. It was really nice. Well-cooked rice, well-seasoned, and a good amount of shrimp hidden inside that tight mold. Very good presentation. Very nice dish. Overall, it was a good time with people people and good food! This place is right by my work, I've already been a few times, and I reckon I'll keep on coming back.

    Sadly, Didn't get a chance to try the food. The restaurant was only half full and we could never…read moreget seated. They asked us to take a seat at the front door, and left us there for 15 minutes before asking if we had a reservation.. (odd) We were only a party of four, we were there at 4:00 because we knew the closed at six on Sunday, so not sure what was going on.. Anyway, we finally had to leave and get dinner next door.
