Service station-themed eatery serves burgers, brews and other American comfort food classics just a quick pit-stop away from top local theme parks
ORLANDO, Fla. (Nov. 18, 2024) – Ford’s Garage, the burgers-and-brew joint serving diners with an appetite for fun and nostalgia, opened a new restaurant at 4971 International Drive, Suite 3D.09, in Orlando International Premium Outlets. It’s located in one of the area’s most popular shopping and dining destinations, right next to downtown Orlando and top local theme parks.
Ford’s Garage is fueled by America’s love for classic cars and is the only restaurant group exclusively licensed to use Ford Motor Company branding and memorabilia. The immersive restaurant evokes the look and feel of a classic 1920s service station with its dining room decked out with vintage vehicles, automobile keepsakes, car-themed fixtures, décor and more.
From the honk of the Model A car suspended above the bar and the all-American menu of comfort food classics, to the servers in mechanics shirts and shop towels used as napkins, every detail is thoughtfully selected to ignite the senses for a uniquely engaging experience.
Between exploring the parks and shopping, our guests can refuel and recharge with our delicious food, entertaining atmosphere and friendly hospitality.
Marc Brown, President, 23 Restaurant Services
“The proximity of nearby theme parks combined with the shopping destination of the Orlando International Premium Outlets made this the perfect spot for our latest restaurant,” said Marc Brown, president of 23 Restaurant Services, which owns the new location along with the 20 other Florida Ford’s Garage locations. “Between exploring the parks and shopping, our guests can refuel and recharge with our delicious food, entertaining atmosphere and friendly hospitality.”
The stars of the Ford’s Garage menu are its juicy burgers made with Black Angus beef. They are served with all-natural aged cheeses, fresh toppings and flavorful sauces on artisan buns branded with the Ford’s Garage logo. Each burger is also available in one of four beef alternatives, including bison, chicken, turkey or veggie patties.
The satisfying selection of burgers includes the specialty Burgers of Fame, named after influential individuals and organizations in the community. Locals will recognize many names honored on the Burgers of Fame menu, including five-time PGA Tour winner Ted Tryba, Orange County Sheriff John W. Mina and Principal of Olympia High School Christy Gorberg, among others.
Guests start their engines with a variety of appetizers, including whimsically named fare like Edsel’s Soft Pretzels, Famous Firestone Shrimp and the Jumbo Piston of Onion Rings. The restaurant serves mouthwatering American comfort food like Mama Ford’s Homemade Meatloaf, Fish ‘N Chips and more. There’s also fuel-efficient fare like fresh salads, grilled chicken and various seafood options. For a sweet way to end the meal, the restaurant offers several delicious desserts, including milkshakes, a Turtle Brownie and the Caramel Apple Cookie Skillet.
Beer lovers can wash down their meal with a robust selection of beers, including drafts with an emphasis on local breweries. Wine, cocktails and non-alcoholic options are offered as well.
The new restaurant joins four other locations in the Orlando-area, including the Hamlin-Winter Garden, Kissimmee, Orlando Vineland Outlets and Oviedo restaurants.
