Ford’s Garage
Location: Orlando, Florida
Our Overview
First off, Ford’s Garage presents a very unique dining experience amidst an old-school service-shop-themed ambiance. This place is officially licensed by the Ford Motor Company and will definitely make you giggle at the shop rag for a table napkin held together by a hose clamp! The staff is friendly and attentive, and there’s a little something for everyone to enjoy!
We highly recommend the made-fresh-to-order half-pound burgers - all USDA Black Angus beef - and their unique flavor combinations. For our smaller-stomached friends, the menu also features third-pound alternatives for burgers as well as a nice salad menu. There are also full-fledged entrées and a suite of delicious appetizers for the hungry (or the collapsing from shopping at Vineland Premium Outlets crowd). For the drink lovers out there, there’s a nice selection to choose from creative cocktails to a rotating selection of craft beers!
Vegan-Friendly
If you happen to be vegan and are visiting the restaurant with friends and other forms of company (self included), then it’s best to make the server aware that you are vegan and would like to avoid things like egg and dairy.
From what we saw on the menu, most burgers can have a veggie patty substitute for an upcharge. The veggie patty would serve burgers like the American Standard, the Low Carb-uretor, and the High-Octane Burger pretty well without the cheese.
