Let me start by saying my whole family loves Ford. So there may be a bit of a bias here. But the story of how Ford's Garage came to be is neat, and I was excited to hear they were putting one local to us. Ford's Garage is a "must go" for any car enthusiast.

Your experience starts before you even enter. The decor outside helps set the tone for what you'll experience inside. Classic vehicles and gas pumps are visible from the front of the restaurant, and gas pump handles act as your handle to open the doors. We went a couple weeks after their grand opening, and they had a sign to be sure to check out their bathrooms - photos of that are included for your entertainment / appreciation.

Inside, you are transported to a glimpse of Ford history, with all sorts of decor around the entire restaurant. Walls, partitions, signage - all either Ford or vehicle/highway themed. The centerpieces being the car above the bar area, and historical models in the middle of the dining areas.

Once seated, the automotive theme continues, with clever little touches: silverware wrapped in a "shop towel" styled napkin, held shut with a worm gear clamp. But don't worry, no mechanical expertise is required :)

As the restaurant is an homage to the American car maker, the menu offerings are aptly American style food, with a broad selection that surely would accommodate any palate. The portions were generous, and the food was overall good. My burger was lacking a bit of flavor - but nothing some condiments couldn't fix. The fries had great flavor however.

While the food was nothing to write home about, it's nothing that the fantastic ambiance, friendly wait staff, and overall experience can't overshadow.

I look forward to returning to try out some other items on their menu, and make some purchases of Ford themed merchandise they have available in the waiting area.
