Decided on Fords Garage again for a late lunch. Got there at 3:30 and the place was packed. Got seated immediately even as busy as it was. On this trip I ordered theChicken Mac N' CheeseChoice of Blackened Chicken or Buffalo Chicken, and Cavatappi Pasta with Ford's Beer Cheese, Topped with Mozzarella Cheese Blend. I opted for the blackened chicken and glad I did. It was nice and spicy. The mac and cheese was very creamy and delicious. Good comfort food on a very cool day.

Great bar food! Nothing to write home to, but it was pretty good. We tried the burger and chopped salad. Everyone else in our group seemed to enjoy their meals as well. Easy place to go to downtown! Service was fantastic. Our waiter was super friendly and kind. Ambiance was fun. The restaurant vibe is fun as well since it's Ford

He took the time to explain the menu and offer recommendations, ensuring that we felt like valued guests every step of the way. The level of service was truly top-notch, and it was clear that Nate genuinely cared about our experience.What really set Ford's Garage apart, though, was the outstanding management, especially from Alicia.

Good service, casual environment and tasty food.Although not especially convenient to get to, it's surrounded by so many businesses that once you've gotten 1,000 things from the Target next door (and you only needed 4 things, tops), you can stop by for a quick lunch and/or some adult beverages.

The restaurant seating area was only about half full but it took over 45 minutes to seat two people. The table and booth seat were wiped with a musty wet rag that made the booth smelled like mold. The seat was still wet when they tried to seat us and I had to ask them to dry it off so my pants would not get stained. The wait after being seated for food was unreasonable over 40 minutes. When the food arrived my Hamburger melt was dry, bread was hard from being overly toasted and tasted dried out and cold. Service was also sub par. We had to flag down staff to get a napkin and silverware and a refill of drinks. When opening the cloth napkin it had a large dark circle stain and looked to be not cleaned properly. The waitress was short with us and inattentive. I have been to other locations of Ford's Garage and never had these issues. Will not be back to this Lakeland one.

Great spot! We went here twice this week and were happy to have our dog on the patio. Servers Erin and Madi were awesome. Food was great. Across our visits we had cheese "curbs", chicken wings, chicken tenders, a burger, and fries - all were great!

The vibes and service were wonderful. Very creative atmosphere. The food however was so very bland. In our group of 5 people not a single one of us had a meal that we were impressed with. And somehow even the water tasted bad.

Ford's Garage was such a cool experience! The whole restaurant is (as the name implies) themed to be a Ford car garage with oil tanks and even a big car over the bar!All the food was delicious. I had the Fried Mac and Cheese Burger and my sister had the same thing but with bacon and Grilled Chicken. For dessert we finished it off with a Chocolate Chip Cookie Lava Cake that was the perfect ending to a great meal!

The food was awesome! Service was excellent. The music was absolutely too loud to hear the person sitting right beside you without talking extremely LOUD. Since everyone was loud it was too noisy. Sitting outside was a no go since a four highway is literally right beside the restaurant.
