    Pulled Pork Sandwich
    Katherine C.

    No, I am not in the market to buy a Ford, but this spot is really rad with all the cool models all the way from the 30's and checkout all the refurbished automotive gear all the way to the restroom, so many awesome ideas here. The Estate Burger with fries and the Pulled Pork sandwich with Mac n' Cheese were both really delicious, not too dry on the meats and definitely hit my full tank lol The place is very well-maintained like a car garage and of course, the staff was very friendly, especially our server Ashley who went above and beyond during our visit. It was quite a great experience and we did have fun learning about Ford's history.

    Had a fantastic lunch at Ford's Garage in St. Augustine and it really exceeded expectations. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere stood out right away. The whole garage themed setup is really cool with vintage style decor and a fun, laid back vibe that makes it feel more like an experience than just a place to eat. I ordered a burger and it was excellent. Cooked perfectly, juicy, and full of flavor with fresh toppings that all came together really well. Definitely one of those burgers where you don't feel like you need to add or change anything because it's already done right. The service was just as good as the food. Rick was our server and he was awesome. Super friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out right without rushing us. He checked in at the perfect times and really made the experience even better. The lunch prices were also a nice surprise. For the quality of food and portion sizes, it felt like a great value compared to a lot of other sit down spots in the area. My daughter had the chicken tenders and she really enjoyed them too, which is always a big win. They were crispy, tasty, and came out hot, so no complaints there at all. Overall, everything about the visit was great. Good food, great service, fun atmosphere, and solid prices. We would definitely come back again next time we're in St. Augustine.

    The food was fresh, hot, cooked to order. We currently went and tried the new American Cookout menu and it was fantastic. The burger was cooked perfectly had lot of flavor, we also got the rib platter, onion rings and fish which was huge. They make all their own sauces in house and that honey mustard was . Max our server took care of us, always had a drink or food in his hand for our table. Ambiance was busy, always book an appointment or call ahead.

We all enjoyed our meals and we shared an appetizer. We had mixed drinks and we had beer .We enjoyed our experience.

    Kettle nachos and Brisket Ranchero Roadster with green beans

    My husband found this cute place online when we were closeby and it absolutely lived up to the expectations. The theme and decor throughout is so fun and well thought out. It's popular so there was a bit of a wait for inside during the cold spell so we opted for the heated patio. It was warm next to the heater but it wouldn't have been conducive for a larger group to share a heater The food was good - the kettle chips are delicious. We got the kettle nachos and I was not impressed with the cheese sauce so my personal preference is for just the chips. The hamburgers were very good. I got the one with brisket and wasn't a fan of the bbq sauce but I scraped it off and the burger was delicious. My husband and I both agreed that this is on the must go again list. We will definitely go back

    Onion ring tower served with chipotle ketchup & ranch
    Krisdena R.

    After driving 9+ hrs and checking into hotel, my family wanted much needed sustenance. Being from Metro Detroit, we opted for a bit of hometown nostalgia. Prior to arriving, we added ourselves to online waitlist. When we arrived, we took first available seating, and we were seated out on covered and heated patio (it was a cool and rainy day). From the stainless steel clamps on place settings to onion rings served on transmission funnel, this restaurant's decor will catch even a casual car enthusiast's interest. Server was friendly, timely, and sociable. Food arrived hot and made to order. The branding of the restaurant name into bun was an added touch. Will have to check out other locations in our travels back to Michigan.

    Edsel's Hot Pretzels
    Patricia M.

    I did not want to give this place five stars, but wow, the service and food were actually incredible. I came here with my family on a Sunday night and it was moderately busy. We only waited a few minutes before they sat us. We ordered two of the pretzel appetizers and they were gone in a flash. The pretzels were soft and perfectly salted. Our favorite dipping sauce was the honey mustard, but the beer cheese wasn't too bad. I got the green clean burger aka their veggie burger. It was perfectly cooked and chipotle sauce was delicious. The fries were good but were only warm when they came out. The entire restaurant is car themed including the bathroom, they really went all out. I would come back here and I'd get exactly the same thing.

    Happy hour burger
    Ed S.

    We have had the burgers before and they were good but I tried the tuna bowl and excepted it to be just ok.. I mean it a comfort food place right ??? Wow. Tuna was sashimi quality and the veggies around it pretty damn good. Our Sever Davetta was attentive, efficient and fun. They do such a great job connecting cars to the look and feel of the place so that is always fun as well

    Sirloin steak with double Broccoli. The gravy was amazing.
    Makeda L.

    A great experience in the St Augustine outlet mall area. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly allowing my friends and I to have a wonderful dining experience. All of the dishes were delicious. The decor was so cool with the aesthetics of a Ford Garage.

    This is a neat place. Sandwiched (pun intended) between car dealerships and apparently sanctioned by Ford Motor Company, Ford's Garage is an automotive themed high-end burger joint with a good selection of beers. The 1/2 pound burgers are hefty, but not enough to make me feel like I ate way too much. I had the bison burger with kettle chips and both were very good. Make sure to visit the men's room (if you're a guy anyway). Sinks are made from tires with shutoff valve levers for water control. Urinals are made from beer kegs. Yeah, even the girls might want to peek inside. Ford's is a good place for a gourmet burger.

    Happy Easter Everyone! He Has RISEN

    We wanted to try a new place for lunch. I've heard of Ford's Garage which is a cool name because it's inside the Ford Dealership premises. We started out my booking at the model T trucks directly outside the restaurant. We walked in and were immediately seated. There were several families that came in after us. It was good to see that this is a nice place to bring the kids during the day. Not sure what night life looks like. It's is a full service bar inside. Hubby noticed that we had been waiting almost 15 minutes and no one has been over to greet us. I was ready to go. Because I was hungry. John went to see what's happening. Mgr came over and got our drinks. His name was Johnny. He was very apologetic. He offered us an appetizer for the wait but we just wanted to order. Everything doesn't require something free. We just wanted to get service. Shortly our server came over. We immediately ordered. John got the Estate Burger. Price: $16.99 Smoked Gouda Cheese, Sweet Red Onion Marmalade, Arugula, Tomato, Fried Onion Straws, and White Truffle Bacon Aioli on a Brioche Bun. It also came with Fries. I ordered the Grilled Chicken over Jasmin Rice, street corn, avocado and diced tomatoes. It comes with a lime chipotle dressing but I left it off. It was under the 1500 calorie menu. Priced $15.99. Large portions. I stole a few of Hubby's French fries. They were delicious too. He ate all his food. I had half a plate to take home Hubby got the. Caramel Apple Cookie Skillet. Price: $9.99 Warm Caramel Apple Cookie, Vanilla Ice Cream, Caramel Sauce, Topped with Fresh House-Made Whipped Cream. For our first time visiting Ford's Garage. The food was very delicious. The service needs more work.

    Ahi Tuna
    Kevin-Danielle H.

    Daniel our service was absolutely amazing. My drink was never empty which is a big deal to this girl. I used my free birthday appetizer reward for the Ahi Tuna - I will say when it came out it was a little on the slim side - we mentioned to Daniel and he had a very nice manager (Eve was her name) come over and brought us a new dish. They both couldn't have been more emphatic and making sure we were happy. The restaurant itself sets you back to when times were simpler and relaxing. My main dish was of course the burger - a staple every time we visit. This isn't our local location but we will definitely be stopping by when we pass through St. Augustine. Well done!

    Car that has old timey ooogah horn played periodically. Fun.

Our server was attentive at the start--she took drink orders as each portion of our group arrived and kept things moving smoothly. As we got closer to closing time (2:00 PM), service shifted a bit. About 15 minutes before closing, as we were wrapping up, our server stopped checking in. This was our first visit, though friends in our group had been once before and described it as "just okay," which felt accurate to us as well. We always like supporting local spots, and this was an easy meeting location, so we were hopeful. It's also worth noting they currently hold a strong 4.5 rating, and it seems like many locals really enjoy this place. That said, the biggest drawback for us was the portion size compared to the pricing. One person in our group ordered a Reuben, and the meat didn't even cover the bottom slice of bread--with not enough to redistribute. The fries portion was very small (more like a kids' serving), and the plate was around $13. That seemed to be the general theme--nothing tasted bad, but nothing stood out, and portions felt light across the board. Atmosphere-wise, it's what you'd expect from a diner--casual, relaxed, and easygoing. We'd consider going back for convenience, but it's not a place we'd go out of our way for. With a few adjustments--especially around portion sizes--this could easily match the reputation it already seems to have with locals.

It is a new place as everything is in St. John's. Clean and well-lighted. My only real gripe was that I ordered a 3-egg breakfast platter and the amount of scrambled eggs was 1.5 at best. Certainly not three. I did not bring it to my server's attention. But the server should be checking this sort of thing before he leaves for the table. Pet peeve of many breakfast restaurants in N.E.

The other part of the group also drank their life away, and because of this you always need to go to a diner the next day. It was a pleasant afternoon.. the birds were chirping, the sky was partly cloudy, and the wind felt cool. The group stumbled on Metro Diner which looked very appealing! We were told by a couple nice people that it was only a 15 minute wait which was perfectly fine so we went to Publix and bought a couple things. When we came back we were seated outside with a friendly waiter who got us going right away. The ogre kept saying how she wanted fried chicken and waffles, but then got nervous because it was 2000 calories.. like what? "You're on vacation just get the chicken and waffles." She was already overweight anyways so why not add more fuel to the fire. Anyways onto what we got! Me: egg scramble bowl with avocado and bacon. And oatmeal with fruit My good Buddy Bezos: burger bowl Doctor Bs wife: avocado egg sandwich thing Tragic: your classic eggs, toast, sausage, homefried The heaviest girl ever: Belgian waffle and some fruit? Okay pause.. how do you go from I WANT CHICKEN AND WAFFLES to mmm I'll have a waffle and some fruit! Okay anyways onto the reviews of the food itself! Doctor Bs wife: Really good Tragic: Mid Ogre: My eggs tasted like the were sitting out a while, the waffle wasn't hot but still good and I wish it was warmer and the butter was hard and cold My good buddy bezos: actually he was in the shower so I didn't get his review, but I know he liked it, that burger bowl actually looked good. Me: Yeah I mean I am a sucker for scrambled bowl with hollandaise sauce, I definitely have had way better, but the taste was there. I would like to add that I basically finished my entire meal before tragic or the wife got theirs. It will be shown in the photos below. I tried to be polite and wait, but after 5 minutes without their food showing up I had to eat I was starving. It's kind of crazy to me that me ogre and my good buddy bezos were first. I would think that the classic plate of tragics would be easy, as well as the sandwich because it's just the same stuff in my bowl just between bread somewhat. I enjoyed the ambiance and the feel of the place for sure. The music that was playing was also enjoyable, so initially I was at a three but because of those factors along with the fact that I did somewhat like my food more than the others (which is rare) and don't feel terrible after that's why we stand at a four. I would like to clarify every place has its own rating system. Like you cannot compare a fancy restaurant to a diner although they are still deemed a 4 on my page. Sorry anyways, the prices were also really reasonable and we had a good time. Maybe next year when we are back around here we will come back! It was good!

    Another amazing meal at Rustica!! Once again, Chef Jean-Marie & staff did not disappoint. We…read moresampled some incredible appetizers like Argentinian shrimp & Ahi Tuna nigiri, HOMEMADE brioche toast with brown buttered Shitake mushrooms, Crab cakes & mussels steamed in a Vietnamese curry (sublime!). For main courses we opted for the braised beef cheeks & the Berkshire pork chop. Both wonderful, served with an array of farm fresh vegetables. Not sure what more you need except a nice wine & some fabulous house-made desserts: Raspberry Yuzu cheesecake & Molten Lava cake. WOW!!!

    We had been wanting to check out Rustica since we walked by them a few months ago and we decided to…read morefinally come check them out for our anniversary. We made an early reservation since we saw they do Happy Hour 4PM to 5:00PM everyday so we had to get in on that. We walked and and were seated at our table. They made sure to let us know you can sit anywhere during Happy Hour and still get the specials where many restaurants limit it to a bar area. Rustica does a great job of Happy Hour. They have appetizers, cocktails, beer, Sake, wine, and even main course happy hour entrees too. I started off with a cocktail going for the Liliko Martini which I really enjoyed. I have really been into my Passion Fruit drinks lately. We of course had to get some of the Happy Hour appetizers too and we might have gone a little overboard but for sure worth it. We got: The Naan Bread Yellow Beet Salad Crispy Tofu Roasted Pork Belly Bao Crispy Pork and Shrimp Lumpia Japanese Style Fried Chicken These were a great way to start off dinner and not one of them were $8 or less. If I had to pick favorites the best was for sure the Roasted Pork Belly Bao. I think it might have been the best Pork Belly Bao I had ever had. I was a large thick piece of Pork Belly but it just melted you your mouth and had so much flavor. We also very much enjoyed the Crispy Pork and Shrimp Lumpia which were much bigger then expected. The Japanese Style Fried Chicken was great too and the BBQ Ranch took it to the next level. For my entree I went with the Basil Crusted Roasted Monkfish which came with Vietnamese Yellow Curry, Crispy Shrimp and veggies. The Monkfish was cooked perfectly. I had a great sear on it too which gave it a bit of a crunch. I know Monkfish can sometimes be intimidated people because it was pretty ugly looking but let me tell you if it's prepared like this you're going to love it. Some of the best fish I have had. The Vietnamese Yellow Curry paired very well with it too. Wasn't too heavy and didn't over power the fish but just added an extra boost of flavor. I know what you're thinking who could was possibly be hungry for dessert but it sounded good so we ordered the Thai Milk Tea Creme Brulee and the Yuzu Cheesecake. Both were light enough that we could still really enjoy them after all we had eaten. We really like that the Thai Milk Tea Creme Brulee also had bubble boba in it which we didn't expect. We had an amazing meal and for sure be coming back sooner rather then later.
