Ormond Garage — Restaurant in Ormond Beach

Ok first of all this place is THE SPOT in Ormond Beach to hang out!! And the food is FAR ABOVE AVERAGE! Chef Kevin came out to check on us and gave us some "blown engine" sauce for us to try with our buffalo cauliflower bites, it has the perfect balance of heat and some fruitiness to dip the cauliflower bites into and the ranch was a nice contrast. The Wisconsin fried cheese curds are a really nice appetizer as well and way better then mozzarella sticks. I had the chimichurri steak Tacos, and I reccomend getting the caramelized onions and fresh jalapenos to complete the dish!. The sidewinder potatoes are a really ingenious twist on french fries or potato wedges, with the perfect amount of crunch vs soft insides. The breakfast burger was a real winner. I also had a White Claw hard seltzer Mango and a black cherry which were great. They are light and crisp with only 2 grams of sugar and 100 calories. The Belgian Trilpe IPA 9% Abv was fruity and creamy. The red pino sour was Amazing but only 4.8% Abv. The Triple IPA was 9.6% but it was too bitter for my taste. Sierra was our server, she is a beautiful Irish Ginger( natural redhead) girl and she was so helpful with suggestions on the menu we tipped her well above average because she EARNED IT all the way. The atmosphere is a charming mix of modern and retro. The back porch has 2 cornhole games and a few tables to sit at. This is by far one of the best places to hang out in Ormond Beach. Matt the Manager was also super cool and we look forward to going...

Cool atmosphere, but not very personable. You can walk into the restaurant from the front and back Entrances and are told to seat yourself. Unsure if tables were clean or not. Very cold inside and chairs are super hard. Water came in a 1.5 liter glass bottle, which I thought was awesome, but the plastic silverware was not. They were out of the pimento cashew cheese. We ordered the buffalo cauliflower bites. It took close to 30 minutes for the appetizer to come out and there was not a real buffalo flavor. About 20 mins after that our food arrived. Ordered truffle fries and I was served regular. Asked for pickles twice before they were brought out. BBQ sauce was more of a glaze then a sauce, super sweet. By the time all the missing condiments came out, my food was cold. Service was definitely slow and unorganized,we had to flag our server down to ask for items and our check. A server would walk around with food trying to auction it off to different tables, not knowing where it went. Three tables around us had similar, poor service. It was nice to try a new local place of history but we will not be back or recommend it to anyone. If you like think curly fries covered in different toppings and craft beer, then this would be the place to go. Unfortunately the long wait for food and poor service will...

My 1st time to Ormand Beach for work and I found this local Historic place that had great reviews . They have their own craft beer brewed on-site along with flights so you can sample a good variety that I did enjoy myself , delicious food that tastes fresh and accommodated my plant based preference , live music the night I visited , plenty of tv’ s to catch the games , friendly attentive staff , awesome decor that went with the theme perfectly . Welcoming hang out spot that is not too loud to enjoy conversation.

3rd time visiting was on 4/15 around 5:30pm and it was not busy . Nobody at the bar and only 1 table seated . Most all the staff was hanging out in the northeast corner of the restaurant chatting among themselves leaving me with nobody to interact with which is the reason for going to a bar . So I felt very unappreciated and uncomfortable. Maybe this is why the restaurant was not busy . Staff dosent know atmosphere is key to making $. Update 3-19-25 Had a great meal , service and beer however the ac vents blow directly onto the bar and it was cold . Very cold ! I grew up in Maine and ski in negative temps for a comparison. Would have had another beer but decided to leave sure to the unexpected arctic blast . Hope the owner reads reviews and makes...
