estate burger comes with Smoked Gouda Cheese, Sweet Red Onion Marmalade, Arugula, Tomato, Crispy Onion Straws, and White Truffle Bacon Aioli on a Brioche Bun. I had mine without tomato which made it less watery. It was very good too. Sweet burger and the crispy onion straws added an additional crunch. Loved the fact that the hostess told us that a 20% tip is already included and it's not added secretly. You MUST check out the bathroom. The men's bathroom was very unique and fun.

fast. The brisket was smoky, tender, and packed with flavor. The onions and BBQ sauce were a perfect mix keeping everything juicy without overpowering the meat. Our hostess and server Kiana were great and immediately welcomed my service dog, Renn, which always stands out to me. There is plenty of room for multiple service dogs, families, or a large group of veterans and first responders looking for a solid meal and a place to relax. Parking was a breeze with multiple levels of free covered parking. Once again military and first responders get a salute to service discount. If you enjoy smokehouse food, classic cars, football, and a military-friendly atmosphere, this place is absolutely worth the stop.

Ford vehicle themed burger and beer place. Tons of beers to choose from. Onion rings were good but the dipping sauces were on the weak side. They needed more flavor to them. We also tried their brisket burger and their estate burger. The brisket burger comes with a harp Cheddar, Bourbon BBQ Sauce, Hickory Smoked Brisket, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Red Onion, and Crispy Onion Straws on a Brioche Bun. Tasty but they should maybe look into a more robust bread. The estate burger comes with Smoked Gouda Cheese, Sweet Red Onion Marmalade, Arugula, Tomato, Crispy Onion Straws, and White Truffle Bacon Aioli on a Brioche Bun.

Good drink specials. Didnt have food. Server was kind and informative of the area. Calm atmosphere. Tvs to watch the game. Plenty of space. They are known for their burgers and dinner meals.

Service was superb! If you're in the mood for burgers, this is your place. It's divey and fun and the decor is super cute!! The bathroom sinks are car tires and the handles to the front of house and bathroom are gas tank handles. Such a fun spot! (The A/C was turned up quite a bit though so we were freezing!).

Amanda H.

Highly recommend the ribs here! The meat is fall off the bone tender and the house sauce is delicious!!! Fiancé loved his burger and we both really liked the Firestone Shrimp! First visit, we waited at least 15 min for the bartender to acknowledge us. Second time at the bar was a little better, but we seem to have the best service when seated at a table. Breanna gave excellent service! There's ample indoor seating and patio seating as well. The garage / Ford memorabilia theme is fun and it's good spot for families or date nights.

Once again we had a great time and experience at Ford's Garage. We were sat down very quickly and waiter came right over to take our drink and appetizer order. He was very nice and accommodating since our party of 6 requested separate checks and special requests from some in our group. Everything came out as ordered with no issues.

Booked a 60 person Teacher Appreciation Week social at Ford's Garage and could not have been happier with the experience. Javier, the manager, was exceptional from start to finish. Since I had only worked with their corporate office via email beforehand, I honestly wasn't sure what to expect walking in with a group this large, especially a hungry and thirsty group of teachers on a Friday afternoon at the end of the school year but they handled us SO well. The food online looked like typical bar food, but the FLAVORS were exceptional. I was genuinely amazed. I wish I had gotten more pictures, but I was so busy trying to mingle and host. My personal favorite was the Firecracker Shrimp. The ribs and wings were awesome, the fries were great, and even the chicken tenders had really good seasoning. I'm allergic to dairy, but everyone around me was raving about the mac & cheese too. The pretzels were also so yummy. The bartenders and staff were fantastic, especially Alexia and Chloe. It was an especially hot day, so a lot of our faculty members were ordering frozen drinks, which I know can be time consuming for bartenders, but we honestly never waited long. I had the hibiscus lemonade and loved it, and my friend's Old Fashioned was especially good too. The space itself is spacious, inviting, and worked perfectly for a large group event. I love my team dearly, but they are an intense bunch and Ford's Garage handled the chaos with kindness, patience, and professionalism. We will absolutely be back.

Angela B.

This is such a cool concept!! With such an extensive menu, there will be something for everyone. I failed to take pictures of the food. But from the pretzels to the burger to the chicken bowl to the chicken wings--you can't go wrong! The service was on the slower side. It took a while to be greeted by our server. But then thereafter, the service was good. Sit outside on a nice evening and enjoy listening to the live music that you can hear around the corner.

This is our second time coming here. The 1st was when they first opened around 2 years ago. We didn't have much luck on either occasion. The food was ok. But, once again, we had ordered items that were out and had to re-order again. Both times the entrees arrived at drastically different times. I'm guessing it's due to an original ordered item being out. The presentation for the onion rings was creative and worth the price. The servers on both occasions were not very knowledgeable of items on the menu. 20% gratuity is added to the check automatically. If it wasn't written in small print, we wouldn't have known. The vintage cars inside and outside the restaurant added a 1920's flare. Bonus: 10% military discount year round.

Great people, great friends, and the heartbeat of America ! Ford's Meatloaf lol

Michael O.

Food was ok ! Beer selection and car ambiance was phenomenal! Kiana took it to a ten star level ! Again the my meatloaf was only a 3 ! Just a plain ehh ! Key lime pie was great, homemade and worth eating ! I repeat Kiana and the car theme were the stars here !!

Ford's Garage has gravy as one of the sauces! I was extremely happy! Anyways, I came for happy hour, which is from 4 to 6. The interior is nice, spacious and the food is great! They have a Happy Hour drink and food menu. I got the Burger and Beer Happy hour special. I ordered cheese and gravy for my fries. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly! I parked in the garage and walking to Ford's Garage, I saw outside parking lot facing University Drive. This is a great, low-key spot!

Jennifer N.

Came in with my husband for their awesome Happy Hour! We had an order of their loaded tater tots which were the perfect size for snacking and were super good! I really enjoyed their lemon drop martini which, I think is like $7 or $8 on the happy hour menu. Husband had a Guinness. The place is clean and the bartenders are friendly. I love the bar top with the ice around it to keep your drinks cold. We agreed that we will definitely be back!

Nathan D.

Def not bad just didn't blow my mind.. id say strong 3.5.. I didn't wanna give it a 3 because I felt that was too low. Ordered the baby back ribs and slaw.. slaw was good in flavor just a little too wet. Ribs were fall off the bone but more sweet than savory and I tend to lean on the savory side when it come to the way I like my ribs.

Jordan M.

Oh Fords Garage where have you been?! This restaurant was lively, full of people, very thoughtfully decorated and overall a great experience. It was full inside when we got there but thankfully they had plenty of outdoor seating so we got to sit right away. Our server was friendly and I ordered the Model A burger that made this burger lover very happy! The bacon, fried egg, onions, and cheese on that very nice bun bridged the gap between food that tastes awesome and looks amazing. Capped off the night with a key lime pie which was surprisingly good. Definitely one of the better key lime pies I've had at any restaurant. Only downside to this place is upon entry, I was told of a mandatory 20% fee( also known as a mandatory tip). I am personally against this as a business model (especially with a small party) because I believe tips are to be earned not forced. It's to be worked for not default. My server was friendly but also not around as much. Made me feel like the tip was covered so why work hard to earn it? It also made me less likely to give more of a tip since I was forced to an initial %. Not a huge deal but just wasn't a good first impression. Not a fan of forced tip business models. All in all I had a great time, great food and would consider coming back here if I'm in the area again.

The hand battered chicken and signature fries were spot on perfect. The service was good but our waitress seemed to phase out and walk away at times. When we were ready to order after our wine arrived, she was standing off to the side of our table spacing out. The ambiance was excellent. It truly is Ford's Garage. Funny thing, they get the be most ooh's and ah's from the sinks in the restrooms. I like the quotes from Ford and the car above the bar the best. Would I go here again? Only if friends insisted. It was pricy for what we ordered. I did like that a service fee is included. read more

Had dinner there on Valentine's Day. Put our name on the waiting list before we left the house and table was ready when we got there (big win). As we were being seated we were told about the 20% service fee that's added to all checks and it goes to the staff that's considered part of the tip. I'm not a fan of that (usually tip 20-25% depending on service anyway) but having it already added seemed to provoke sub-par service (empty glasses for 10+ minutes, ordering delay, etc). Food was OK; Chicken sandwich was pretty bland, with only a tiny amount of chipotle sauce on it. Monte cristo was perfectly fine and no complaints at (although there was no powdered sugar as normal/listed in the menu). Overall just an average experience. Not the worst but not the best. read more

I really appreciate that they include the tip in the total, ensuring that all of their staff receive a living wage--such a thoughtful and fair approach! The BBQ here is fantastic, definitely some of the best I've had. I also loved the unique setup with all the Ford-themed items, and the fact that their napkins are oil rags was a fun, quirky touch that really added to the vibe. This place makes for a great date night spot--good food, great atmosphere, and a little something extra that makes it stand out. Definitely recommend! read more

My husband and I had to have a late night dinner after a meeting so we decided to stop here to give it a try. For me it was a little too late for a heavy burger or sandwich as I had to get up early for work the following morning. I opted for a Chicken Chop salad. I was not disappointed. The greens were crisp, just enough tasty dressing. The only drawback was there was not enough chicken. Just a small amount more would have been perfect. Because Ford's Garage is known for their burgers we came back tonight to give those a try. There is a waitlist since it is Saturday night but I don't mind because my first experience was good. Happy to say our experience was not disappointing.. The burgers were very tasty. What really surprised me were the Fried pickles. I am usually not a big fan because I really do not like dill pickles. They were not dill so I enjoyed them quite a bit. I am told they should also be sliced in the round which these were not, they were spears whick I also enjoyed. As I expected the entire restaurant is done in Ford automobile motif. It is very interesting to see engines and advertisements all around. Our server was attentive but not overly so.. Overall experience number 2 was as good as the last so when the burger urge hits we will visit again. read more

Visited Ford's garage on a Monday night with my husband. The decor is the best part of this place. It was very on brand. We sat at the bar and ordered a drink and the pretzels. The pretzels tasted good but were slightly over cooked. I ordered the espresso martini with no cream and a sugar rim. It was delicious! The bartender was very nice but, she was the only bartender that night. The craziest part is this place charges a 20% service fee which isn't a tip. It is so that the staff gets paid a better wage. I'm all for that but shouldn't the COMPANY pay their employees not the customers? It's pretty absurd in my opinion. Apparently they can't keep any bartenders because they make pennies per hour and then people don't tip because of the service fee. We felt terrible for our bartender. We I'll not be back. read more

Fun ambiance, great service, and decent food. It was over-priced, and they charge a service fee which frankly makes no sense. The bar is unique - it has a strip of ice running along it that you can place your drink on top of to keep your drink cold - I loved this! It's typical bar food, so nothing too unique when it comes to food. There are plenty of TVs so it's great if you want to go watch game and a large selection of drinks and beer. read more

The Restaurant is ford themed to the max, it's older style like model T and premodern. (There's a car hanging from the ceiling). I got a standard cheeseburger medium and it was very good, I ordered a tea (strawberry) that ended up very watery. The server was quick to replace it though so not too negative. Highlights were the onion rings and Mac and cheese was very good. Note: there was an automatic 20% gratuity which was mentioned before seating so not a surprise read more

I'm surprised that as of today the stars are as low as they are here. This is my second time checking out Ford's Garage at this location, and I think that they are really getting into the flow of things! So this place just gives off a fun vibe. They've got good music playing with tons of fun lighting accents- overall it's definitely somewhere that I wouldn't mind hanging out at. Music is on the louder side, so maybe not a great first date spot. I like how spread out the tables are too- it's nice that no one is sitting on top of anyone else. Food here is pretty standard fare. Honestly, my four stars aren't five because I think that the food is slightly underwhelming. However, on my last trip there was nothing negative to report. Everything was fresh and came out as ordered. The star for me on both my experiences so far has been the service. You are never waiting on a server here- it's a nice change! Both times I have been here a manager stopped by as well to check in and see how our experience was going. Definitely plan on making it back! Fun addition to the new downtown Plantation area! read more

I have never seen a Fords Garage before and I had no idea it would be a restaurant, and a very good one at that! When you walk inside, it's heavily Ford car branding themed. Even the bathrooms have tire sinks which were very cool. An old model T sits above the bar and there are two outdoor seating areas if you would rather be outside. Food-wise, we ordered the fords pickles to start. They were fried pickle spears which I found unique with a very light fry that wasn't too overwhelming. For entrees we ordered the Smoked Brisket Burnt Ends Melt and a Sliced Steak and mashed potatoes. The sandwich was a great bbq sandwich with so much flavor. I could only eat a half because of how large and flavorful it was. The Sliced steak was also delicious. It was served on top of mashed potatoes that were so creamy and delicious! For dessert we got the Molten Lava Cakie. I am not a huge dessert aficionado, but this was a really fresh choice with so much flavor from the cookie, the "lava" and the ice cream. One other interesting aspect this restaurant advertises is having a 20% tip included on all orders to cover the tip, but you are allowed to tip more if you would like. Overall, I can't wait to come back to Fords Garage and try some of the other delicious foods they have there! read more

The Mack House

Mack House is one of those tiny local spots where the charm comes from the people, not the polish…read more It's small, relaxed, and run by one guy who's doing everything at once pouring beers, chatting with guests, keeping the place moving. I asked for a sample of a dark beer and he handed me a full pint glass, then used the same glass for the actual pour. A little odd, a little funny, but somehow it fits the vibe here. It's not corporate, not scripted just a real local bar doing things their own way. The energy easy, and the beer solid. If you're looking for a polished taproom, this isn't it. But if you want a laid back spot with character and no pretense, Mack House has its own charm.

MICRO BREW OR DIVE BAR?…read more My wife's long blonde mane stood out in this boy's only pub. Took a center seat at the bar while watching the Miami Dolphin game. Nice in house brewed beers on tap but sadly no sours. The bartender poured an ice cold fifteen ounce Johnny's Brewtah Hazy 7.2% which was absolutely devine. Love the kegs lined against the wall with big bags of Malt piled up. Trivia On Tap every Monday at 730pm and free entry with beer purchase. Thirty-two ounce Growlers are offered for all nine craft beers at $15.00 each. The men's bathroom was the epitome of a dive bar and I took in every wonderful visual which my video will confirm.

Sidecar Speakeasy

I'm visiting the Foodie & Cocktail BFF and we're looking for a post dinner place in Fr. Lauderdale…read morewhere we can catch up over some cocktails on a weekday night. Sidecar Speakeasy was the play... The speakeasy entrance was hidden in a hallway you can walk right by without even noticing. I dig it. Once inside, it's dark. Most of the light is coming from the light showcasing the bottles in the bar. The seating is a little tight as they're trying to maximize space for such a small area. We visited here twice during my visit: We sat at a table and a bar. You have the perfect amount of space for your party, but you're pretty close to the next table or bar seat. No claustrophobic vibes though. All the mixologists were great during both visits. One visit, we ordered their signature cocktails from the menu. When we sat at the bar, we had the mixologist surprise with a cocktail off the menu. He just asked what kind of liquor vibe we wanted, and he took it from there. He was super creative with every cocktail which made for a great time. They stayed upon until midnight one one visit and until 1 am on the other one. Both my visits were on a weekday. The sidecar speakeasy is easily my favorite bar in Fort Lauderdale and I have a feeling I'll be back. Enjoy!

There are leather couches, bookshelves, velvet drapes, and cute light fixtures. The menu has a huge selection of shareables, salads, burgers, sandwiches, and full entrees. The menu items also have cute mob and prohibition-era names like "Untouchables Sliders," "Enforcers'Philly," "Bombshell Chicken," and "Zelda's," and "Capone's" salads. I have come for lunch, for dinner, and after dinner drinks; with just my mom, a few friends, and even a group of 14 ladies celebrating a birthday. The service has a little been slow at times, but the food has always been good and all the servers we've experienced have been friendly. I have especially enjoyed the Bombshell Chicken Sandwich and Hideway's Grilled Cheese. (They have several different grilled cheese options and they are all on sourdough bread either an accompanying cup of tomato soup.) The prices are reasonable and they have a full bar and live entertainment some evenings. Hideaway's is a unique experience; and a fun place to gather. It's easy to get to from anywhere in Plantation and there's lots of free parking. I'm hoping that Hideaways is here to stay!

I was completely wooed into choosing Escape Rooftop Bar for my wife's birthday. The reviews…read morepromised incredible drinks, impressive food, and a memorable experience. I can confidently say they delivered on one of those things, the experience. Unfortunately, the food felt like a failed attempt to escape... an escape room. Let's start with what absolutely works. The location is stunning. Truly breathtaking. The views are spectacular, the atmosphere is elegant, and the setting makes you feel like you have unlocked a premium level of Fort Lauderdale nightlife. The service is upscale and unhurried. No one rushes you, no one pressures you, and you are encouraged to linger and enjoy the moment. From a vibe perspective, you are winning. The drink menu is limited, but what they offer is top notch. Well crafted, balanced, and enjoyable. Think of the drinks as the first puzzle you solve successfully. Confidence is high at this point. Then the food arrives, and this is where the escape attempt starts to fall apart. We began with the bruschetta, which was absolutely dominated by balsamic. Not gently accented. Not thoughtfully drizzled. This was a full-scale balsamic ambush that completely overwhelmed the dish. Puzzle one failed. Next came the octopus. Perfectly cooked. Tender. Juicy. Textbook execution. Unfortunately, the flavor was nowhere to be found. Every bite was completely hijacked by the beans in the dish, leaving the octopus feeling like a background prop in its own plate. Puzzle two failed, morale dropping. Then came the calamari and mussels. Once again, the seafood was cooked properly, but flavor had clearly escaped through a hidden exit. Bland, forgettable, and confusing in how something prepared this well could taste like so little. Puzzle three failed, clock ticking. The fourth dish was the caprese salad, which somehow managed to swing in the opposite direction of the bruschetta. The tomatoes tasted like they were fresh from a grocery store shelf. The balsamic barely showed up this time, as if it had used up all its energy earlier. The mozzarella sat there watery and bland, contributing nothing and offering no clues. Final puzzle failed. Escape attempt unsuccessful. By the end of the meal, I felt like I had just spent two hours in an escape room where everything looked incredible, the staff was friendly, the room design was flawless, but none of the puzzles worked and you never actually escaped. Overall, Escape Rooftop Bar delivers breathtaking views, excellent service, and strong drinks. But the food turns the entire experience into a beautifully designed trap. When expectations are sky high and the kitchen cannot deliver, the disappointment hits harder. Two stars, awarded for the scenery, the cocktails, and the hope that one day the food finds the exit.
