Come for the automotive nostalgia, stay for the great burgers

Cheese, please! Today, Sept. 18, is National Cheeseburger Day and Ford’s Garage, your neighborhood burger and beer joint inspired by Henry Ford himself, is serving a variety of fresh, never frozen, half-pound Prime Burgers that are impossible to resist.

Ford’s Garage is located at 13193 Levinson Lane #100 in the Hamilton Town Center.

The restaurant opened in November 2019 with a full staff of 125. After closing for 45 days during COVID, the restaurant reopened with 115 on staff, and is now completely staffed with cooks, servers, managers and hosts.

Ford’s Garage is walk-in only and does not take reservations. The restaurant features enclosed patios for extra seating all year.

People often come the first time for the nostalgia factor. It’s a very busy and popular place, but, as manager Jeff Troyer says, the wait is worth it.
