Ford’s Garage - Novi: A Comfort Food Haven for Burgers and Brews

We started with the fried pickles appetizer, but scarfed them down and missed taking a pic lol. Tried a different type of margarita today, loved the sweet and spicy Rattle & Roll. My sandwich and sweet potato tots were awesome too. My son looovvveeessss peanut butter so he orderd a burger that came with peanut butter on it I've never heard of that before, neither has he. He loved it!!!! We'll be back in a couple of weeks to try more tasty foods I'll update as time goes on since you can only add 1 review per establishment.

A fun place full of interesting decor, it is basically a Ford Museum. The fun energetic filled restaurant has great food that is known for hamburgers but has many options. It does get busy so expect a wait if you go during peak hours. The Estate burger came recommended and was mentioned as the most popular burger. The first few bites were good but then the sweet onion relish but not good anymore. Side options can be a choice, the tater tots were delish.

Had no idea what to expect before going here. Im glad we went around 4. Although we still had to wait for about 20 minutes. When we left around 6, the amount of people waiting was ridiculous! Our food was very good and the prices were reasonable. Now, for the atmosphere. Not my cup of tea. Many people like the crowded noises places. I, do not. It sends my anxiety through the roof. So everytime that horn on the Model-T or A (whatever it is in the middle of the place) would go off (every 15 minutes or so), I would nearly jump out of my skin. It was noisey enough that I could not hear our server. Bottom line, service and food were great but very loud and crowded. I will place a carry-order but I wont be dining in again. If you like loud and congested, this could be the place for you!

We had a birthday party there and it was a great time. It seemed like several servers were all assigned to the area, so they really kept an eye on us to make sure that we all were happy. The food was delicious!

Ford’s Garage has such a variety of appetizers, burgers, comfort foods, salads, drinks and desserts. We have been many times and continue to comeback. We enjoy their Firestone shrimp, French onion soup, patty melt, buffalo dip, beer battered fish, tater tots, meatloaf, Blackened Chicken or Pulled Pork nachos, hot pretzels, mushroom Swiss burger, Jiffy burger, pulled pork sandwich, A must try dessert Brooke sundae Warm Fudge Brownie and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie with Vanilla Ice Cream, Hershey’s Chocolate Sauce, and Crushed OREO. So good. Full bar. Drink specials with or without alcohol. Milkshakes. Phenomenal staff from hosts/ hostess to wait staff. Very cool Ford Motor Company icons, logos, decor.

Ford’s Garage absolutely delivered! I ordered the Estate Burger, and it was outstanding—perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. The ingredients tasted fresh and well-balanced, and every bite felt thoughtfully crafted. The atmosphere was fun and inviting, service was friendly and attentive, and the overall experience made it a place I’d happily return to. If you’re looking for a great burger in a cool setting, the Estate Burger at Ford’s Garage is a must-try. Highly recommend!

I can’t even describe how amazing my experience was tonight. The atmosphere/theme was super well done. Gorgeous inside and outside. Our waitress, Michelle (shout out to you!) was fantastic. Super attentive and friendly, but also didn’t hover around us. Food came out quickly and tasted great. I split the Brisket Mac & Cheese and the Brisket Angus Burger w/ fries with my Mom. It was a great portion size and everything was hot and fresh. I ordered their version of a screwdriver and for $14, it too was out of this world. It tasted again, fresh and definitely worth the price for the liquor they serve in it. We planned on spending $60, but even with the alcoholic drink added on, it was about $37 before the tip. I can’t even eat that cheap in my hometown for that quality. The decor was funny/creative in the bathroom with the sinks being tires and the door handles being gas pumps. I can’t stress enough, you HAVE to come here and eat. I haven’t had this great of a dinner in a really long time, super memorable and will definitely always visit this joint. Please give it some love, they deserve all the praise and attention.

If you are nostalgic and like the Ford Motor Company, this is a restaurant for you! This is a great place to grab a burger or salad and sit at the bar where they have a cold ice counter to keep your drinks crisp. With memorabilia on the walls, a car hanging from ceiling and a couple engines used as posts this restaurant is not short on atmosphere. I like the brisket sandwich and the burger bowl is also tasty. They have a wide selection on their Happy Hour menu and we always stop in for a bite when passing through Novi.
