Love, love, love this place! We are gonna need come back several more times to try out everything!
Atmosphere: Authentic garage items have been turned into adorable dining room decor! Shop rags turned into napkins, hose clamps turned into napkin rings, metal oil funnels turn into an onion ring tower... everything looks amazing. My favorite are the hostess outfits. A garage shirt tied up like Daisy Duke. The shirts have their names on them.
Food: My husband got the Burnt End melt with what looked like homemade chips. That was an excellent recommendation from our server. My Mother-in-law got the chicken tenders. They were juicy & crispy. I got the Salmon with a delicious chardonnay butter lemon sauce. It came with two sides. The salmon was perfectly cooked and had a delicious black and seasoning on it.
Service: Our waiter, Courtland, was very intuitive. He introduced himself as our server and asked if we had been there before. Then if we were celebrating anything. He answered (probably too many) questions about the menu & gave recommendations (which my husband took & loved!). He refilled drinks before we asked and checked in on us frequently. We didn't even ask, but when our server found out that we were celebrating a birthday, he gave us the Royal Ford treatment! What a sweet, unexpected blessing! If you go, ask for this AWESOME man to be your server & you'll be cared for well!
Price: Extremely affordable. Especially by comparison to many other popular, neighboring restaurants. So many...
Read moreMy wife and I went to lunch at the Ford's Garage in Avon, Indiana with one of my best friends and his daughter, and I was stunned at how amazing this place is.
First...the ambiance. A completely refreshing upgrade from the O'Charley's that it replaced. From the Ford era vehicles that were place in front of the restaurant and over the bar, to the garage referenced decorations, the place was spectacular!
Second...the servers were spot on! It was lunchtime and very busy, but they expeditiously got us seated and drink order in. Wish I remembered the name of our waitress, but she was definitely vibing the location and was as cheerful as they come. Her expert knowledge of the menu also was a great help!
Third...the food...it came quick and stamped with the patented Ford Garage logo...a classy touch. The presentation was spot on and the taste... my friend was caught off-guard by the superior taste of the Smoked Brisket Burnt Ends Melt with Bacon Jam...I mean...BACON JAM!!! It was over-the-top amazing! The fries were crisp and flavorful...not at all what I was expecting. I had a crispy chicken sandwich, awesome! It was off the lunch menu and was still a massive amount of food!
If you have an opportunity to check this place out...you won't be disappointed. I've already got it on the calendar to take the entire family there. The cost was actually less than what I would have expected for such tremendous food. And to top it off, they do offer military discount. Well done, Ford's...
