Ford's Garage

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.

Not sure I would go here again… my daughter has celiac and when asking the waitress about how they wash their surfaces and such in between and do they keep things separate to keep celiac patrons safe, she got very defensive and was pretty rude. My daughter’s meal definitely had gluten in it as she felt pretty sick afterwards. We were pretty upset.

Lots of GF options - salads, burgers, sandwiches, sides. I felt completely comfortable with the safety of meal. Food quality was fine - exactly what you would expect in a casual chain restaurant.

UPDATE- my last review was 2 years ago and we went back again today and I really wanted to let you know they have stepped up their GF game! Menu has more GF items marked, my burger had a gf flag and they were more knowledgeable and attentive to my allergies. Good job Fords Garage! ORIGINAL REVIEW- They have a gluten free menu!!! I’m GF and DF so I was further limited but our server was knowledgeable and accommodating. I had the grilled chicken Cobb salad and it was excellent! Such a cute Resturaunt with so much fun stuff to look at!

I highly recommend the Chicken Henry. It is excellent. Moist chicken with and amazing gf sauce.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not a ton of gf opinions, but by far the best attention paid to cross contamination ive seen in the 6 plus years we've navigated eating out with celiac. Jen was our waitress, very much appreciated her insights. Mgmt was also very in tune to our order.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Boring GF menu, seems like a gesture of accommodation instead of any actual effort to please. Salads & bunless burger. Why restaurants don't keep GF buns in the freezer baffles me. Would not return.

Great atmosphere! A bit overpriced. I got the grass fed buffalo burger for 16.95. It was delicious!

Celiac friendly?

No

The staff was very helpful, many gf options Menu was clearly marked

Saw the reviews and had high hopes that there would be a positive dining experience. Showed my allergy card and then I asked the waitress if I could get a grilled chicken breast, lettuce and avocado on a gluten free bun. She said not a problem. Also ordered a side salad with no cheese (I am allergic to dairy) and she took her time to put in the order. Unfortunately, a runner brought the food out and had my meal right next to two other meals, both with gluten buns and melted cheese where my meal was touching theirs. I could not take the chance as there was definitely cross contamination. I told the waitress and she went to order another meal. My entire family had finished eating and my food still had not come out. I asked for a to go box. This was during lunch time and there were only 3 other tables seated. If you go here to eat, make sure to ask the waitstaff to bring out allergy free meals separate from the rest of the order for safety.

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.

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.
