Estate Burgerwith tots
Ricardo B.

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. 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.

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!).

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

We spent New Year's Eve 2025/26 here while in the area for Orange Bowl. It was a lot of fun and the…read moredrinks were flowing. It had a cool ambience and some interesting bathroom signage.

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!
