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. 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.

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.

Sherry T.

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.

Manuel B.

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.

Kika G.

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.

Food is good but service sucks! Went for brunch on 11/12 around 1:39pm (according to my receipt) our waiter was Alex, and man was he just a mess. We waited 25 mins to get greeted at our table! Which is just ridiculous because it wasnt even that busy when we came either. Alex then takes our orders and ends up ordering us 2 chicken henrys to our bill, rather than 1, we ordered 2 monte cristo with no sides cause Alex forgot those as well! And we still got charged for it !! So he finally brings the bill (thank god i just wanna go home at this point) and he expects us to pay for 2 chicken henrys (one of which we did not order!!) and the additional premium sides of tots that never came with the monte cristo brunch items. I should of spoken to the supervisor but I didnt. They add 20% gratuity which was so undeserved for Alex that night. I'm not saying i wouldnt tip, cause I always do but not 20% for so many mistakes in one night. I really regret wasting my money that night. Please re-train your staff to not have your table waiting 25 mins to be greeted or even acknowledged. So disappointed. I heard great things and to have an experience like this. Really wouldn't wanna have that same experience again or wouldnt want anyone else to be forgotten about the way they did us. read more

Swung by last week on a Sunday and it was popin! With a soft opening and "official" opening a few days ago - everything was pretty smooth!! Personally, a wonderful addition to the Plantation area. Nachos were delicious - the Estate burger was to dieeeee for!!! The onion orange marmalade was incredible. Cooked perfectly to temp. My husband had their Nashville hot chicken sandwich - he loved it, but it wasn't my favorite. Truffle fries were a nice touch and their onion rings are huge. Service was good but could use some adjustments. I love the process for their overall tipping, etc. but there were a few times we sat for a while with no drinks and our server would need to remind the runners (2x). The same runner swung by our table to grab the same plate a few time without asking, just jumped (love the initiative but the baby was picking at it). Also, our food didn't all come out at once (not sure if nobody was there to follow, etc.) but these are all things that can be worked on! Overall great experience - we will definitely be coming back. read more

Ford Garage truly stands out as a burger and beer joint, not only for its delectable offerings but also for its unique automotive-themed ambiance. Has a little gift shop As you walk in . It has indoor and outdoor seating . Also , they have happy hour from 2-6pm M-F which I'm definitely going back to try . It was my 1st time here , and they just opened a week ago so it was very packed on a Friday night . One thing to note is that it can get quite busy during peak hours, so be prepared for a short wait. However, the food and drinks are well worth it. If you're a burger and beer aficionado looking for a unique, enjoyable dining experience, Ford Garage is the place to be. I really enjoyed the wide selection of beers they had , I got the flight to try a variety . The Burgers were yummy ! They do charge a 20% service fee , heads up. But we didn't mind because are waitress was very friendly and attentive. Ford Garage is worth a visit, especially if you are a beer or burger lover ! read more

First off, I would like to complement all the tiny details in the Decore of this restaurant. Service and waitstaff was very attentive especially the bartender. We sat at the bar. I was blow away by the ambiance and the beverage cooler strip. Spicy shrimp was 10 out of 10 and jalapeño cream corn. We were there mostly for the drinks, but will definitely like to try other food next time. The only downside was the vibe / no music / And pretty pricey. Also 20% is already added to your bill which they make sure you know before you enter. read more

Our first visit to Ford's Garage Plantation and our first to Ford's Garage in years. We started with the pretzel sticks that were very good. We also ordered an All American Burger, a BBQ Brisket Roadster and the corned beef burger. All were very good and cooked to order. Garrett and his team of servers were attentive and did a great job. We like the vibe. Good music that isn't too loud. And the beer is cold! read more

Their specialty appears to be sandwiches and burgers. I ordered a medium rare Estate Burger and fries with an onion ring appetizer. Onion rings were large with a super crunchy breading and were delicious. The burger was good and had a nice marmalade topping but it appeared to be more medium well cooked, but still tasty. Note: They do apply an automatic 20% service fee for tipping spread amongst the staff. 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!

From all the bars I have ever been to (and that too many to recall) this is the only place where something new awaits you every time. The words "same old" does not exist here. Whom will you meet, what adventure you will experience with be different every time. Unfortunately, thus ambience only exists during the weekend. Maybe kate Thursday night and Sunday night. The rest of the week it is pretty quiet. But if you want a late-night adventure, there is no place like the J Bar. Come and become a part of this spontaneous madness.

Whether you're stopping by for drinks, food, or an event, Escape Rooftop Lounge is a great place to unwind with a view.

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.

Always solid, and for sure a top spot to hit after work.
