Great staff, great food. Items are marked gluten free option. Seemed to be mostly burgers. They have gluten free buns.
Great experience! Server was knowledgeable on options and cross contamination. They have protocols for major allergens and prepare GF food in its own area of the kitchen limiting cross contamination. They also brought my food out separate from others’ orders. I was able to have a burger with GF bun and a side of mashed potatoes. GF options are noted thoroughly on the menu. They seem to really put care into the process which made me feel safe! No symptoms afterwards.
Nice GF options marked on the regular menu. Had a very tasty burger with Udi’s GF bun. Selection of customized toppings available for burgers. Great atmosphere, decor and service. This location can get really busy, but they will text when your table is ready allowing you to explore the interesting downtown area while waiting. I have eaten here multiple times without reaction and have always enjoyed my meal.

I ordered blackened salmon with broccoli & salad. No issues. Sat outside during the music walk. Meal and entertainment were fantastic.
Great salad with salmon and fun atmosphere. I felt good after eating there. Will return, for sure.
The manager came to the table, after I told the hostess my daughters celiac. She re assured us and told us they will handle her food with care. They were Great!
A few gluten free options, mainly burgers/sandwiches and salads. The burger I had was lackluster in taste, and I wasn’t confident in my server’s understanding of Celiac disease on the busy night we went in.
There was also only one cider available on the bar menu (Angry Orchard).
Excellent variety of options. No issues for 3 different GF people in our group.
Had so many options and I felt very safe eating here. I had the American Standard Burger on a gluten free bun and it was delicious. Gluten free items aren't marked on the online menus but ARE marked on the menu I received when I ate there. Overall, good experience!
I had Henry’s chicken that was delicious! The wait staff wasn’t knowledgeable about Celiac but the manager was.
It was good. Tho-they didn’t have gf buns again so we had to get bunless. Other than that the burgers were good.
Ate here for lunch two days in a row. Had a burger the first day, salad the second. Both were really good. Highly recommend!
Delicious gluten free burger and bun. Not many side options but the burger was good. They had Udi’s bun for the burgers. We ate here a second time and I got a salad with chicken that was amazing! I highly recommend eating here!
My husband has Celiac, and we’ve had a tough time so far in Ft Myers with his meals. I saw Ford Garage on this website and am so glad we went. The menu is marked for G F items. He was very happy with his burger, and I had a Berry & Gorgonzola salad with chicken that was superb & was also G F. Good service as well.
They have Udi’s buns but I was served mine half frozen. The original burger they brought me was on a regular bun even though I requested GF and let them know I had celiacs. Luckily I caught it. The new burger delivered on the cold bun was covered in salt and not very good. The only GF sides are broccoli and green beans. Overall not a good experience.
Service awesome. Burger awesome. Just keep with gluten free menu and you will be safe.im celiac and dodnt get sick
They have several gluten free options including burgers with a bun! The chicken henry is delicious!
Tammy the front manager was extremely amazing! She went and checked the marinade and everything and advised me that it was not labeled gluten free so she wouldn’t trust it. She has a niece who has celiac. I expressed I am a super sensitive and she said she would explain again to the cook. The GM brought my food out and proceeded to question me “I’m not trying to be rude but like this is difficult to ask....what would REALLY happen to you if you had gluten?? We are all just really wondering because you know this is like a fad” I explained I have celiac and went into details explaining what it is and how sick I get. He then watched me eat it while walking around I knew in my gut they didn’t prep it correct (it was like let’s see what happens to her) as I was pretty much made to feel mocked. Never again will I eat here. We drove an hour to a festival in town with my two kids and had to leave right after seating didn’t even get to go. I lay here in severe pain sick as a dog. I won’t get into details on the sickness..don’t eat here if you’re celiac!! God bless Tammy she tried! And I thank her again! But the rest of the staff..you are horrible!! I’m so upset!! 😭❤🤢
Very nice Gluten Free menu. I had the Berries and Gorganzola salad wtih Ahi Tuna and it was great. Lots of choices and a great atmosphere.
A bar with a GF menu. They have spicy (breaded) shrimp. Lettuce wraps for burgers and the Chicken Henry is amazing.
Pretty big GF menu- lettuce wraps for the burgers. Spin Artichoke dip good too.
Gluten free menu, the burgers were also great. We brought our own bun as they don't include this as an option. Side dishes of salad, vegetables. Did not try the fries as there is no dedicated fryer. Otherwise there was a wide variety of ciders on the menu as well as Omission Gluten Free beer. Overall this was a very good experience, great atmosphere too.
