Welcome to Ford’s Garage ... Legit Since 2012 Ford’s Garage pays tribute to a true American legend, Henry Ford. The Original Ford’s Garage is located in Historic Downtown Ft. Myers, Florida just minutes away from where Henry Ford and Thomas Edison spent their winters. Ford’s Garage combines the look of a 1920’s service station with the feel of a modern day “around the corner” Prime Burger and Craft Beer Joint. Ford’s features one of the largest selections of American Craft Beer, so you’re certain to find that Perfect Brew to compliment your Perfect Burger. Henry Ford once said “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said Faster Horses.” We share in his spirit of innovation and creativity every day at Ford’s Garage. As you cross the threshold, you step into a simpler time when handmade craftsmanship was revered. This is reflected in our custom wood and brick construction combined with the hand-hammered copper top bar and signature frost rail, designed to keep your brew at the perfect temperature. The hand-crafted quality doesn’t stop at the decor. Each Ford’s Garage burger is made with your choice of only the finest USDA Black Angus Beef, American Kobe Beef, Open Range Bison, or All-Natural Chicken. Pair that with the all-natural cheeses, gourmet toppings, and local farm fresh produce and there’s no doubt that you will have the Ultimate Burger Experience!
A Little “Taste” of History
Fun Fact: Did you know that the Hamburgers at Ford’s Garage are directly related to Henry Ford’s Success? Henry Ford visited a friend of his in Chicago, Gustavous Swift, who founded a meat packing company in 1855. Henry Ford states in his autobiography, “My Life and Work” that it was a visit to this Chicago meat packing company which “opened my eyes to the virtues of employing a moving conveyor system and fixed worked stations in industrial applications.” In the production of automobiles, it was this moving conveyor system technique (the modern day assembly line) that enabled Henry Ford and the Ford Motor Company to become the Legends that they are today. The Spirit of the original meat packing company started in 1855 still lives on in the methodology we use in creating our hand-crafted burgers at Ford’s Garage.
