It's very much open inside; there is outside seating. The FoMoCo decor is inventive and unique. The menu sports clever burger designs named for notable locals, I thought it was a nice nod. The AC was acting up; by the end of the meal we were a little moist. I'm sure it's probably already fixed. The restroom was clean, with interesting decor, worth a look. We started with two drafts and a starter order of onion rings. Beers & water arrived promptly, the onion rings shortly after. The onion rings came stacked on an oil funnel, good app-sized sharable portion, good flavor and tasted fresh. The rings came with a ketchup and a ranch sauce portion cup. Maybe try something different with the sauce, like a remoulade or whipped cherry pepper in mayonnaise. My wife was pleased with her ahi tuna bowl. I liked my veggie patty (Green Clean), but with the avocado it became a bit of a mess to eat. The included French fries are essentially perfect. We bought a take out sandwich, burnt ends on toast, it turned out to be great and a nice option. Three full meals, the app & two drafts came to about $85. The onion rings aren't a great value, we'll try something more interesting next time.. Draft prices seem ok; I'd bet there are, but didn't notice, drink specials on the bar menu. Hannah was the bright face of a well-functioning team. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and we wouldn't mind coming back. Ford's looks very competitive in this business.

Had the oriental chicken salad and small portion riblet platter (per our server, the regular portion has coleslaw + 3 extra ribs), which were split between 2-3 of us in our party. The salad was absolutely refreshing with a decent amount of chicken. The riblet platter had a lovely smoked flavor and our choice of honey bbq sauce was not overwhelming. One star less as my water had some type of substance floating on top. I usually drink water after eating most of my meal so I discovered this later on. I'm certain our server would have replaced this immediately if I asked, however at that point our plan was to return to the hotel where we had bottled waters anyway.

If you're a waffle lover, this place is an absolute dream! The waffles are perfectly golden, crisp on the outside, and fluffy on the inside--pure perfection in every bite. They offer an amazing variety of toppings, from fresh fruits to decadent syrups and whipped cream, so you can customize them just the way you like. I tried the [specific waffle flavor or topping] and was blown away by how delicious and well-balanced the flavors were. The portions are generous, and the presentation is beautiful. The staff was super friendly and made the experience even better. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, these waffles are a must-try.

We went on the site ahead of time and our wait list wait was less than what they estimated. I felt like that was a win. Also, our server was both attentive and pleasant and they were super slammed this Father's Day morning. And I need to back track just a little, because that first cup was really good and then they brought out a new pot of the First Watch dishwasher coffee that I have grown accustomed to. So there is that. We ordered two has meals. I got the summer special hash which had a Mexican inspired theme. The flavors were great, especially the queso. The meal was a tad above room temperature which had me thinking it had been sitting. Especially because the over easy eggs were luke warm. The other hash was about the same. Overall the food was not so good, especially for the price. But it was edible and I finished mine and it filled me so mission accomplished. Honestly though no where near amazing and other than it's uniqueness, a visit to Denny's or IHOP would have done just as good and for about a little over half the price. Still though our server was Dynamite and if it weren't for her I would be giving two stars instead of three. If the coffee didn't revert back to its weak state, it might have almost pushed it over 3 starts. Alas, here is where we are.

We also ordered grilled cheese and a cup of Tomato-Vegetable soup($11.99) (they didn't have just Tomato soup today). The chicken tenders (served with 3 tenders) were tasty as were the fries. The onion rings were impressive to look at as they were huge but the breading was overly thick and they were not crisp. They had potential but I don't need to order them again. The grilled cheese was more of a toasted cheese made in a toaster oven rather than a griddle like is expected. We likely won't order this again....unless it's really grilled. The Tomato-Vegetable soup was really tasty and worth getting again. Our Server was Gina and she was really nice and just as attentive as we wanted/needed. The dining room is pretty large with a combination of tables and booths and it is wheelchair accessible. They have a dessert case as you enter the restaurant with a combination of cakes, pies and what looks like a tasty cinnamon roll.
