I didn’t expect the chicken sandwich to be that large! Couldn’t finish it. I didn’t like the countertop table I was seated at, the lights were far to bright and directly in my face. Also took awhile to receive service. Menu has a lot of good options, something for everyone. It was an okay experience.

My daughter took me here to eat dinner recently. The atmosphere is great! Especially if you are into cars. We had burgers and fries to eat. The menu has a variety of burgers that are unique. The food was good along with the service. I’m sure I’ll go back to eat there again.

Service and atmosphere was good. I got the fish and chips. The fish was cooked perfectly but I wish the batter was crispy all the way around. The bottom of my fish was soggy. If it was perfectly cripsy I would have gave 4 stars for the food. However, everyone enjoyed the cheese curds. We would visit again, but maybe next time try one of the burgers.

I loved this place! The atmosphere with all things old time and Ford car related, was a treat! The place was bustling and had a great family environment. I only wish I could have seen the track on the ceiling carry around its car frame cargo. It also had an amazing on tap beer selection for adult faire. Our party of 8 ordered some appetizers (cheese curds and fries pickles which were delicious). Many burgers were ordered, which had some unique flavors to choose from, as well as chicken tenders. You had options of fries, tater tots, or a small upcharge for onion rings. I definitely recommend the onion rings! We were celebrating my daughter’s 19th birthday and traveled from Chicago to Cincinnati. Our server (I forget her name but I did inform the manager how great she was at the end of our experience) made us feel at home. She was superb, and when she came over with a crew to sing their version of happy birthday, it was Soooo much fun. Our only quibble was the burgers could have been hotter as it appeared they may have waited a bit before making their way to us. They were still tasty and cooked right however. When we return to Cincy, we will be visiting again. If you are passing by, make sure you do the same! It is easy to find good food, but it’s hard to find great service, and this has both.

Hands down the best restaurant!! I have come here many times, my most recent being a few days ago, and have had nothing but the best experience. The atmosphere is so fun – everything is on theme down to the napkin holders. Our food came out quickly and tasted great! I will continue to come back here!

Really cool restaurant I’d recommend for everyone especially auto enthusiasts! Fast, friendly and attentive service! Big menu with plenty of variety. I had the high octane styled burger with bison meat cooked to my likings and it was excellent.

I visited Ford’s Garage last week during a business trip and since I was passing through Cincinnati this week with my family on vacation I wanted to share the experience with them.
Ford’s is a family friendly restaurant with a solid menu, a good drink selection and attentive and fun servers. In my two recent visits the food comes out fast, tastes fresh and the portions are generous.
It’s an unpretentious and fun atmosphere, and has enough charm to be fun while connecting to the past without being overdone. It strikes a great balance between being a familiar local watering hole while serving above average food and drinks at a reasonable price.

Great service, delicious food. We had the French Onion burger and the Ford’s Signature burger, the fried pickles, wings, and I had the Lincoln, one of their specialty drinks. It was all very good.

It was great! Food was awesome, service was great. atmosphere is awesome as well. I took my aunt for her birthday as a place she had wanted to visit for a long time. They brought her out a “celebration sundae” which we thought was cool. What we didn’t expect was that being on our bill! First place Ive ever been to that sneaks one in on you like that! So be prepared for an additional item on your birthday dinner bill! Depending on when you go, the sun can blind you the entire meal. So opt to sit in the back if possible.
