Ford’s Garage has great burgers with GF buns. Not GF fries. They offer GF mashed potatoes, Broccoli, Coleslaw and Salad. The other GF entrees are a chicken dish and a salmon dish. This is a great place for burgers, but that’s about it. The manager brought out my food, which is always a plus. Would visit again, especially if I’m wanting a burger.

Loud, sports-bar like atmosphere. Clever theming.

Cobb salad was fresh and tasty.

Ford’s Garage is a good place to eat with careful attention to making the servers aware of celiac or allergies. Gluten Free items are marked on the standard menu with a red diamond. I had the “Ford Signature” burger on a gluten free bun but must be ordered without BBQ Sauce as per the server and manager. Menu allows for BBQ sauce, so you must ask for no BBQ sauce when ordering. Burger was very good, had mashed potatoes as a side. They do not have a dedicated fryer for fries. Caution, my burger came with a regular bun and waitress caught the kitchens error prior to me eating. Waitress was very attentive to gluten free options.

My second visit to Ford’s Garage I ordered a Gluten Free Standard Burger with green beans. The kitchen apparently out of green beans added fries to my plate which are not gluten free. Waiter apologetically ordered another burger for me. Very good burger but leaves me concerned about the kitchen staff being attentive to gluten free food.

I was pleasantly surprise that the server understood Gluten Free She explained how precautions are taken to avoid cross contamination! I was informed they did not have separate Frier! It was wonderful that they did not charge extra for the gf bun! Burger and greenbeans were done perfectly and I had no issues! All in all it was a great experience! I ordered the 1/3rd pound burger with greenbeans!

Great experience here. I didn’t have high hopes but they did have gluten free buns to add to burgers and sandwiches. The waitress seemed semi knowledgeable but after asking a few questions I felt safe. I had a burger with the gluten free bun with green beans. A lot of burger options and a few sides but that’s about it. Tasted great and I did not get sick. I would avoid if super sensitive because of possible cross contamination but I’m celiac and I did not get sick.

READ! Call, triple check, then call again! We did not actually eat here so my review is just based on experience with them not taste….. we tried to plan ahead to figure out dinner for a group of 12- 2 with celiacs…… called at 1 pm to ask if they have GF buns for cheese burgers, best time to come in for our large group, and ask if fry’s are GF…… they said 4pm is the slowest, fry’s are GF, and yes they have buns. Called again at 3pm after one of our children got sick to ask if they will do Togo orders I also double checked about buns and fry’s again…… finally called in our very large Togo order at 430 they told me it would be ready in 15 mins. We got there in about 10 mins, checked in, about 30 mins later I’m still waiting but I get a phone from them to inform me that they don’t offer GF buns anymore… I said okay fine just finish making the food without buns. But I double check for a 3rd time that the fry’s were definitely GF. The lady on the phone said no they are definitely not GF it says right on the box that they contain gluten and she apologized for the miss information. It was a s**t show!! Avoid them at all cost. Clearly no one is on the same page there considering I had called multiple times this should have never happened.

They have gluten free buns that are wonderful, but they did kindly inform me when I ordered that their fries were cross contaminated. While cross contamination does not bother me, I put it in here so others can know.

The outside bartender actually knew that being celiac means that I needed a gluten free bun. There’s an online allergy menu. And best yet… it’s been over 24 hours and I have no cross contamination symptoms

Items clearly marked on their menu. When I ordered a gf bun for my burger, the waiter confirmed it was an allergy. A few minutes later, a manager stopped by the table to let me know the kitchen was aware and taking all necessary precautions. Food was delivered to table separately from the remaining order "to keep everyone safe, happy and healthy". Could not have been handled better and food was fantastic.
