Ford's Garage Noblesville — Restaurant in Noblesville

Maybe a word of advice to restaurant owners…. If you need to stuff a table in a back dungeon corner, maybe just don’t have that table. Or don’t offer it to patrons when there’s several other open tables that don’t require a flashlight. It should be an absolute last resort table. The atmosphere and overall vibe of the restaurant is very unique, fun, vintage inspired collectibles, anyone can enjoy it. For those reasons, we were very excited to come and try out Ford’s Garage. We got nachos and French onion soup as appetizers. Well, what do you know not even 3 minutes later, our entrees come out? Okay… didn’t even end up enjoying our appetizers because then our entrees would get cold. And they were not the type to pack up and bring home as leftovers. Also, I got the Henry Chicken with no goat cheese … goat cheese was indeed on the plate. My fiancé had no issues with his meal, but we both did get the mac and cheese and felt it lacked a lot of flavor for a “premium” side. It was very watered down. Lastly, none of this would have mattered much and we could have still enjoyed our dining experience, but our server seemed to want to be anywhere else except talking to us. She was very short in exchange and never checked on us until much later after we got our food, so we couldn’t even let her know that all our food basically came out at the same time, or that my chicken entree came out in correctly. The most conversation we got out of her was when she gave us the bill and hovered over us, waiting for it. It seems like we were her last table in her section, because throughout our 40 minute dine in experience, all the other tables in her section left. So I don’t know if she was just so over the day and was annoyed that she got sat (our table) before she was being cut, but it’s not our fault. Please do not take it on us. This whole situation ruined our experience, and we will not be returning. Very...

I'm sure you can look at the pictures and tell that this would be a fun place to take kids for them to be like, "holy cow mommy there's a truck driving in the air!" But be prepared to have your dreams crushed by the entrées here. Unless you're getting appetizers or a side of tots (Napoleon would be proud) for your meal, you're going to be disappointed. First of all, I tried a little bit of everything from my group. The Chicken Strips were the most bland thing I think I have ever tasted, I swear I could've just been eating spoonfuls of straight up flour and I wouldn't have known. Then I tried the Fried Cod, which had a couple bites that tasted like they may have put some seasoning on it. Lastly, and I know you're gonna think I'm dumb, but I ordered the Meatloaf for myself. You're thinking, "why would you order meatloaf, that's disgusting!" Let me tell you, I've had very good meatloaf at restaurants. Try out Aspen Creek's Mile-High Meatloaf. This was out-of-the park the most stereotypical cartoon meatloaf I have ever had. I would have rather gone to Walmart and bought a frozen meatloaf dinner and eaten it as an uncooked chunk of processed bio-material. I'm not kidding when I say this meal was two elementary school cafeteria salisbury steaks stacked on top of each other and covered in A1 sauce. I felt like Anton Ego from Ratatouille having a flash back to grade school, but instead of enjoying a wonderful home-cooked delicacy, I was reliving the nightmare of not knowing what actual edible food was. I implore the management at this restaurant, if you have read this far, please, in the name of culinary arts, remove this item from your menu forever. Don't let anyone else try this meatloaf and further disgrace it's once hallowed name. Take it from someone who really loves meatloaf: this is not...

First time going and I must say we will be back. Great place if you are looking for a great burger. We were seated very quickly and chose to sit on the patio. The only Con to the patio on the East Side is the sun is rather warm in that area. We were there at about 11. I think it was the time of day but I think next time we will either sit inside or the covered patio on the other side of the restaurant. Overall restaurant was very clean feeling. Wait staff was plentiful and all very friendly and knowledgeable. The decor is great for a car guy like me. It definitely earned the name Fords Garage. Old cars and car parts are placed everywhere, but not to cluttered. The bathrooms were very neat as well. As an appetizer we ordered the Onion ring funnel. It was lightly breaded onion rings served on an oil funnel. My wife and I both got burgers. My wife ordered the Distinguished Gentleman. It was a 1/2 lb black angus patty with Carmalized Onion, Arugula, Chopped Romaine, Tomato and Garlic Aioli on a Brioche but that had a Fords Garage symbol toasted into the top bun. I ordered the estate burger. 1/2 pound black Angus burger topped with Smoked Gouda, Sweet Red Onion Marmalade, Arugula, Tomato, Fried Onion Straws, White Truffle Bacon Aioli on a Brioche bun that also had a Fords garage symbol toasted in the top bun. Both burgers were served with house fries with the house seasoning on them. Was a very good combination. They have a very large beer selection but I didn't order a beer. So I can't review anything other than the selection. Overall a 10 out of 10 experience. If your in the mood for Cars and Burgers stop on by Fords Garage in...
