The menu at Ford's Garage is a celebration of hearty flavors and comforting options. On a recent visit, I indulged in the Smoked Brisket Burnt Ends Melt, which features tender burnt ends caramelized in bourbon BBQ sauce, sharp cheddar, and bacon jam, all served on toasted country white bread. Each bite was a flavor explosion, perfectly balancing smoky, sweet, and savory notes.
For those looking for something lighter, the Blackened Salmon Salad is a standout. This dish combines 8oz of blackened Norwegian Atlantic salmon with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and avocado, all tossed in a zesty lime vinaigrette—ideal for a refreshing yet satisfying meal.
The service at Ford's Garage is commendable as well. Guests have shared heartwarming experiences with attentive servers who enhance the overall dining experience. The speedy and friendly staff, like Sherri, ensure that your needs are catered to promptly, allowing you to fully enjoy the meal and the captivating environment around you.

I’ve been here a few times and it never disappoints. The place has a laid-back, wide-open feel with a cool mix of American history and sports bar energy. TVs all around showing games, and good music playing in the background. One of my favorite features is the frozen drink rail at the bar—keeps your drink cold while you relax. It’s a great spot to hang out, grab a bite, and enjoy the vibe. Definitely worth a visit if you’re at Pier Park.
This is an awesome place tucked quietly in the pier park mall. We had a wonderful experience with excellent service today for lunch. I had the burnt ends brisket melt. It was GOOD. My side was truffle fries. They were GOOD as well. Average cost per entree is about 15. Would definitely go again.
This is my second time eating at this location. Both times the food was delicious! And the wait staff was great as well. Today, Sherri was our server. And she did an excellent job. She was very attentive, we were at our booth less than one minute and she was at our table, ready to take our drink orders and was top-notch the entire experience. I will definitely be back to Ford’s Garage, and I highly recommend it to anybody looking for a great place to eat at Pier Park in Panama City Beach.
Great service and atmosphere! We heard this place was a must when visiting Panama City Boardwalk so decided to give it a shot. The atmosphere was pretty cool, if you are a ford or car lover you’ll appreciate it for sure! They have some old ford vehicles and a variety of merch. Food was good, the onion rings and highway burger were great! Our server Lynda was awesome! She was super sweet and patient. She provided us with excellent guidance and suggestions to help us order. When we asked her about the car located over the bar even though it was late she asked the bar tender to make the car do all the noise; honk the horn, and blow the smoke which was very sweet of her. Definitely recommend!
Fun experience with lots of Ford decor and excellent food! There is something made by Ford everywhere! The napkins are shop towels and the rings are pipe clamps. There are replica old Ford cars, motors, memorabilia all around making a unique dining experience. The waitress was awesome! Friendly and professional with a great personality! The food? Everything we had was very good! Appetizer onion rings are served very uniquely! I had the tomato basil soup and it was really good! There were 3 different types of burgers ordered and a kids cheeseburger. All were seasoned well and cooked to order. The different topping options really can change the taste of the burger - there's something for every/anyone to savor!
We went here on vacation in April for lunch. There was no wait. We went in and were seated right away. We had the best waitress! I wish I could remember her name! We ate the Buffalo chicken dip for an appetizer then I had the patty melt. My husband ate their signature cheeseburger. They were both delicious. The decor was awesome! I highly recommend this place if your on vacation and if you are a car nut like my husband!
From the hostess to the food, this place was amazing. There was minimal wait, the gentleman who delivered the food had the friendliest smile and our waitress was very sweet and accomodating to our four year old and my dairy allergy. Can't say enough great things. Atmosphere was also amazing
What a really cool restaurant. It has a couple model A Fords on display along with flat top engines through it the restaurant on display as well. Our waiter John was very polite and really nice! John suggested going to the bathroom just to check out how cool it was, so I did. While walking by the very well awesome displayed out center bar area you look up and there's another model A hanging from the ceiling. Go into the bathroom and it's like no other bathroom you've ever seen(I'll let the pictures and video explain)! The menu is extremely easy to navigate as well. We ordered wings, shrimp, and burgers. The bull for 6 people wasn't bad at all totaling 142 with tip. The food was absolutely AMAZING!!! I decided to grab a ford T shirt for my son before leaving. The hostess had pig tail hair, super tall and extremely nice! I said how tall are you 6'4"? She laughed and said ohhhh no I'm 6'2". The extremely nice girl grabbed my shirt, rang me up and it was 26, not bad at all. If your down in Panama City area I would HIGHLY recommend stopping by for the great food, great atmosphere and great people!!
