Bravo!!! This place is beyond amazing! Honestly, kudos all around. Your wait staff is wonderful, the burgers my wife and I ordered are amongst the best we've tasted. The fries are so good that I will remember them in my sleep. I couldn't be more happy for our visit and cannot wait to share this place with others. I am excited to visit again!
great vibe...good service...and the staff is fully informed on the menu..a cool place to hang for a ballgame, lunch, or a drink
We had a wonderful time here! We were staying near by at a hotel and this was in perfect walking distance. We ended up going through the back door but it didn’t seem like that mattered. It was loud inside but I expected that with this place and it honestly made the vibe better. Food was top tier. Absolutely wonderful food. We each got a burger and split an order of cheese curds and those were addicting! Burgers were cooked perfectly and the sides were great. We tried the fries and the Mac and cheese. Both were great but I gotta give the win to the fries! I added a fried egg to my burger and it was also cooked exactly as I wanted and just made everything better.
Service was great! All staff were attentive and quick with drinks, questions, etc,.
10000/10
It embraces a dive bar look, but I wouldn't call it a dive bar. Great place to hang with friends. Dog friendly, which is a great touch. There is some outside seating, but not a ton. Service is good. Beer and wine choices are that of a typical bar. The food is really good. Highly recommend this place to hang, throw some back and maybe watch a game.
Interesting place to walk up to but when we walked in we were told to sit wherever we liked. Immediate we loved the vibes and they had consistently great music throughout the dinner. Think 2000s-2010s favorites.
We were greeted quickly and got our drink order within a few minutes. Our waitress, Cassidy, was super friendly and took our orders. We told her it was our first time and she said everything we ordered is what she would’ve recommended so we were really hopeful!
Our fried cheese curds came out nice and hot. They were delicious. Our dinner followed not too long after. Also hot. Also delicious. Throughout the rest of the meal we kept mentioning to ourselves how amazing the food was and boxed what we couldn’t eat to go.
So final rating: 10/10
Music: 10/10
Atmosphere: 10/10
Staff: 10/10
Food: 10/10
Drinks: 10/10
It’s truly a gem of a place that I highly recommend anyone to check out!
It was good bar food, atmosphere, and service. I wish they had a better draft selection and better bottle prices/selection. Overall good place
First time here with friends from out of town. Husband and friend got the garage burger. I ordered build your own burger. All three burgers were seasoned to perfection and delicious. Definitely the perfect classic bar burger! My friend and I had the hand cut fries that came with the burgers. My husband ordered a side salad with his burger. The salad had a variety of veggies and fresh crisp Lettuce. The Garage has a very nice selection of beers and spirits as well as Pepsi products and lemon aide. Something for everyone. The staff and overall atmosphere were great! A fun place to spend time with friends and family while enjoying great food and drinks. Will definitely be back.
Good food. Nice place. Service was slow, as to be expected due to the Upheaval Festival being in town and a lot of the people attending were there before the show. The server was great, though.
Delicious food. The chicken wrap was tasty, as were the loaded fries. $6 BT pours is also a great deal.
Middle of the Road burger (Garage Burger) ; HOWEVER, the fried mushrooms were huge & very good.
Easy walk from river area hotels.
When you drive up, you can see the inspiration for the name as it is within an old garage. There are still an operating auto garage to on side of the restaurant. Inside the glass doors you are greeted with a typical bar/tavern setting with a long bar to the right and High-top tables in the middle. The name could not be more literal.
The food was excellent. I had the garage burger with onion rings. Both were fantastic. The beef was well cooked, tender, and flavorful. The sauces were not overpowering and complemented the beef nicely.
In all, I really enjoyed my food here. I did get takeout, so I am unable to comment on the service experience. Though I will say that the food was ready when I got there and pickup was a breeze. If they had a dedicated pickup parking area in front, that would be ideal.
I will be back to try out more of their menu and give another rating.
Enjoy!
The food is incredible, the service is excellent, and the best part is, they allow dogs!!! We took our fur babies out to lunch today and had such a great time!! Allie was our server and she spoiled the pups and loved on them as if they were her own. Her service was amazing! We will definitely be back!
