Ford's Garage Novi

Went on the weekend with some family, and the place was great! 1st time and service was excellent from our waiter. We waited 20 mins to get a table, and we ordered Buffalo chicken dip and it was unique but had a pop with the celery chunks. Never had anything like it and really enjoyed it. I ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger, and it was one of the best burgers I had in a while. Flavor was there and had it cooked perfectly. I was glad they allowed you to put your topping on with sauces. They had a huge menu selection that we all said we would revisit again very soon. Decor matches the theme and just a cool place I plan to keep in rotation.

Really cool atmosphere and nice selection of beers. The food tasted great and there were lots of tv's everywhere to enjoy the game. My only complaint was the onion ring tower. They tasted really good but the value wasn't there with all the small rings they gave us. More than a dollar per ring wasn't cutting it. Great place overall.

Really nice place with cool local decor. Place was very busy - probably with being newer to the area. Food was pretty good. Pretzels and Cheese were amazing. Lava Cake dessert was one of my favorites as well. They also have the best gluten free bun for burgers that I’ve had so far. Would come back

Loads of fun touches all over. Even the Women's restroom (with those genius tire sinks with nozzle faucets!) has a reversed "MEN" on the inside of the door to give you a moment to make you think "Did I???" Nope. You didn't. Just have a laugh. Another sign said "Will Eat for Food". Another thing I got a kick out of was the shop cloths for table napkins with hose clamp napkin ring that our waitress made sure to whisk off the table early in our meal. Did she think I'd want to take them home? (I have some. Don't need theirs. Made me laugh again.) The food was good. I had a Thai Salad. Not the best one I've ever had but ok. Nice mixed greens. Not a lot of chicken or won ton strips but filling enough. Probably would try something different next time. My partner had the meatloaf. Excellent crunch on the outside and moist and oniony and very salty inside. Again. Good. Not the best ever. The tater tots were very good....albeit super salty. I'm sure most restaurants over salt so they don't get accused of bland food. I get that. Decent craft beer selection. I wasn't disappointed with my Grand Armory Wheezin the Juice beer. New beer to me. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was continuously full. They told us the wait was 30-40 minutes but we were seated in less than 15 minutes. I suppose telling you the wait time is longer weeds out loads of people standing around waiting because the wait area is small and the bar seats were all full so the only other option was outside. This place seems to understand what makes a popular dining spot. We'd go again but maybe not on a weekend.

Waited about 10 minutes for our waiter to come over and take our drink order. At that point we were ready to order our food so we placed our orders. He disappeared again, and another waitress brought my drink. My wife's drink hadn't arrived yet so we asked her and she brought my drinks. The waitress also brought out my wife's salad. Finally, the waiter reappears with my dinner. I ordered the fish and chips. Excellent! Hot & fresh. Large filet. I can overlook some of the waiter's shortcomings, the rest of the visit was excellent.
