I love the chill lay back atmosphere. Patio has a smoking section. The only very small issue I had was how long it took them to bring us our pizza order. I feel that it was due to the high volume if people there. They were having a halloween party and my husband and I won 1st place. Props to DJ Art! Im coming back here in the spring.

This is not an opulent-looking place. What it is is a place filled with gracious staff and a very welcoming attitude. Our servers name was Adriana. What an outgoing person she was. She was very helpful with the menu. The food was great. The chef TK (?) came out to speak with us. His concern was that we enjoyed his cooking, which of course we did. The owner came out and had an engaging conversation with us. What a great customer experience! We will definitely be back. As the saying goes, dont judge a book by its cover...

When work forces me out of the warm confines of Santa Monica, I do my best to try and find local places to eat & drink vs chain restaurants. Today I’m on the west side of Detroit at a place called Ford Patio Bar & Grill. One prior review said the lamb chops were pretty good. That, my friends, is an understatement. They’re like lamb meat candy. They were sooooo good. I washed them down with Bells Two Hearted IPA which is a personal favorite. As for the service, Shawna/Shauna was Suzy-on-the-spot! Took my order moments after I sat down and the beer and food came very shortly thereafter.I love discovering local joints and Ford’s did not disappoint. BTW, it’s karaoke night tonight so there’s still more fun to be had! Head on down!

$4 lamb chops Tuesday special is the real deal! Quality food served in a bar atmosphere is always a hit for me. Only problem was my martini was served in a Pina colada glass🍹 Come on Man! 🍸

This place was not our first choice as there are only 2 restaurants in walking distance from our hotel. Our first choice had a 45 minute wait so we decided to try this one out.Greeted unprofessionally as we walked through the parking lot a door greeter/host made a comment, we didnt know he worked there. Took us to our booth.Our waitress, Bubbles was somewhat friendly but a horrible waitress. Not sure she was the only one working but we were practically ignored most of our visit as she tended to all her other tables.She was attentive taking our drink orders and bringing water to the table but never brought napkins or dinnerware. We reordered 1 drink and took over 15 minutes to get it. Our food took awhile as well and we were missing a simple pizza order. Bubbles walked to our table, looked confused as she was bringing another meal to the wrong table. We finally got the 🍕 pizza.She forgot our mayonnaise, asked for no salt fries and got salt, asked for napkins as we had none and no utensils as well.Worse service ever experienced as you see by my reviews!Giving a 2 star rating based off of the taste and quality of food or would have given a 0 if that was possible.

Definitely coming back to try the food. Was there only a short while with friends. Very nice atmosphere, food looked delicious as ever, staff was nice. Music was nice. Dance floor looked a little small. It was super crowded on a Saturday night. Will get there early next time so I can have some where to sit.

Please do not dine here! We were charged $20 for valet parking and others in our party were charged $10. They claim the price increases when they have few spots left! So you pay more if they have 1-3 spaces left!! This doesn’t make any sense! For this joint, ridiculous! There was no sign indicating a price increase after a certain time. I paid more for parking than my turkey burger and fries!! I won’t be back and I telling everyone I know to never come here!

The patio was the best thing about the place. Music was good.. it ranged from old to new. I chuckled when the old school songs lost the enthusiasm of the 50% crowd of 25ish olds. The crowds ranged in age from over 50 to barely legal. The food was ok.. not great. I will give a pass on the timeliness of service since it was full however of patio waitress should have had help.

We Truly Enjoyed our Food and Drinks.We went during lunch hours, and the place was comfortable yet busy.The waitress Windy did an amazing job on my Bloody Mary as well as offering her suggestions from the menu. We did order the pepper steak soup, it was so good. I had the Turkey Club and it was the best turkey club Ive ever had. I did see many people ordering chicken salads, so they must be good too.Well go back and try some of their other dishes.Great Job... o and its clean.

I visit the Detroit/Dearborn area about once a month and on all of my visits, I always stop by the Ford Patio Bar & Grill. On most of my visits, Ive had Keita as my bartender/server and she is always wonderful. My most recent visit Adriana was behind the bar and she was just as amazing. Id also like recognize the positive energy that TK brings to the kitchen. Hes been back there on all of my visits hustling around and smiling and I can tell you that happy people make better food than grouchy people. This place has HAPPY food and drinks both. Cant wait to head back next month.

HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! Wait staff have no good customer service whatsoever!!! I waited forever to be helped, and almost an hour for what I ordered to be brought to me, as if it were busy, I was given attitude/smart remarks and disrespectful demeanor from waiter, not to mention me and my table were able to smell the alcohol on the waitresses breath just to have no choice but to tip??!?. Place is SUPER overpriced to have that type of atmosphere. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! Never will I be back HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND!!

I went in for Happy Hour before our group met for Family Feud. The waitress provided great suggestions on what to try. I sampled the wings, nachos, shrimp, and a mango martini. The nachos were good, very cheesy. Jalapeños were a little too bright green for me. They looked fake, so I didnt partake of those. The shrimp wasnt fried hard enough for me, and it hard a thich batter. The wings were okay. I got some garlic parmesan sauce, but it wasnt what I was expecting. The mango martini was EVERYTHING!!The host for Family Feud was an hour late, but he made up for it in laughs 😃 it was truly a good time had by all!

Stopped here with my Son to have some food and drinks and the service was okay once a server got to us. We ordered 2 Strawberry Margaritas that were watered down and just horrible. We ordered the special for St Pattys Day and sent that back as the cabbage tasted sour. We then ordered appetizers...steak bites absolutely no seasoning ( HAD THE SERVER TRY THEM AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING) and a few other items. Everything was very lackluster in flavor...just disappointing. The server spoke with one of theOwners and she came to the table and said weve been drinking were celebrating Ill remove the stk bites from your bill😐 so unexceptionable and when I addressed her regarding her statement then then told me we dont eat it if you dont want it .... 😐 As we were leaving she stood at the door watching us leaving and had this look on her face with her lips tooted up saying you can leave As a business owner this is so unprofessional, unexceptional and just RUDE!!!! MAYBE YOU SHOULDNT DRINK AT WORK. IF I COULD HAVE GIVEN THEM NOOOOOOO STARS I MOST CERTAINLY WOULDVE!

I ordered shrimp alfredo. The menu describes angel hair, but I was served fettuccine. The shrimp were grilled perfectly, but the sauce was sour. I also had lamb chops, which were also grilled perfectly. My drink was great. Kudos to the bar. I went on comedy night on Tuesday. Simply Chanel and her line up was funny. I guess my complaint is the sauce and noodles.

I called in for a Caesar salad and add salmon. The salad was super soggy and the salmon super small for $12 barely any croutons or lettuce. The lettuce was not fresh at all. They charged me $26.50 for this? ABSOLUTELY NOT!And of course it won’t allow me to add the phone to show you this mess.

This bar is the most fun you can have in the Detroit Dearborn area. Why, because they have the real life Family Feud my favorite TV show that you can get a group of 10 people together and play. I have a woman empowerment group Exhale Detroit and we used this establishment for our Game Night. Not only was it for our members but for patrons of the bar was able to join in on the fun with us. We had a ball and will be back. Also not ONLY the game made our game night fun but the food was delicious and the chef came out to introduce himself and made sure our food was prepared the way we asked. The pizza, steak, and fajitas was made to perfection. Hands down this is where you wanna come eat good and have fun too.

Went to an event there, my first time going. Was a little disappointed with the wait time for food, but when my lamb chops came out on the burnt side, I was surprised, and others at my table waited one hour for an order of potatoe skins. I will return, I believe maybe there were staffing challenges that day. I say to my readers, Go check them out! The food was good as well as the drinks. Its the wait time on food that I wasnt happy with.

Great food and drinks! Waitstaff is a MAJOR problem. Attitudes, careless attitudes, they dont put any effort into going to work CAUSE THEY KNOW THEY GONNA GET A TIP. Our bill had 18% already added to it! We were regulars here until we noticed this, and 18% very generous then what we would have left with how bad our service was!!

We came to this establishment to celebrate our cousins Birthday and had a great time.The food was awesome. As soon as we walked in, I was eyeing a friends plate and the portions are fit for a king.She was eating steak bites, macaroni and cheese, garlic mashed potatoes and garlic bread. It smelled great and looked even better . Three of us automatically ordered the same dish and Yall, the food was great!!! Because of the large portions, we had to take to go containers.Our server was very attentive.

You have to watch the bartenders very closely. There’s a waitress there name Shawna a skinny Caucasian girl and she will put extra chargers on your bill to see if she can get away with it. She charged me $11 because they were playing music that night and said it was a new rule to charge for entertainment but she didn’t know I had 2 other friends there that night and I saw their bills and she didn’t charge them anything at all. Watch out for her. Then also I was there recently n and another light skinned black waitress charged me extra for sides when their included in the steak combo. When I told her about it she adjusted the bill and acted like she did me a favor. I asked for the manager and he doesn’t seem to be there and you can never get in contact with him. People are price gauging and this place is already over priced don’t let them get over on you pay close attention to what you ordered.

Review №64

It was a very small place but it seems to be quite popular amongst the 25-38 age group. There was a DJ there but IMO the drinks were not satisfactory. 1 of the drinks I ordered (LIIT) I sent back because IMO it tasted awful & got home & discovered she never removed it from our bill. We each ordered wing dings that had a very nice seasoned/grilled flavor with a price tag of 14.00 for 8. The gratuity is automatically added @ a little over 18%. Parking is VERY limited in the area & Valet Parking was 10.00. As for us, its not a place for us!

Review №76

There were so many issues with this place I will never return. The employees did not wear mask and would hold conversations with other employees while holding people food in hand. I witness several wait staff talking unmasked over people food before taking to their table. I was in a party of 3 and waited an hour for my food while my two friends received their food timely spoke to the manager and all I was given was 10% off my bill. Valet was horrible and over price and did not let you know you had the option of parking your own car in the same place they were parking your car.

Review №77

FYI this place is poorly run. If you arrive on a day that someone is having a celebration, they block every single spot in their entire parking lot and make everyone pay $10 to park. The food is decent and the prices are good but that does not make up for the lack of customer service.

Place has just been redone and is nice inside. Food was fine, waitress was nice, but what the heck kind of place charges $2 for a bottle of water at lunch? Its 2018. And its also lunch time. Cant really order a beer while at work with a he boss and pop is pretty horrible. Been to every restaurant in the area during lunch and have never been charged for water. May be part of the reason the place was literally empty besides one other customer 🤣🤣. But again, the burger was solid, I just doubt well ever go back literally based on the $6 for three waters we got charged.

I went to this establishment to have dinner with my children. Upon entering the small parking lot, that is valet only which makes patrons wait on Ford Rd while the attendant parks vehicles, the attendant immediately told me No children allowed after 9:00. At that time it was 8:30. I was also told if I wanted to park my car myself I could go around the building and park on the side street. The exit to the side street was blocked with a pressure washer. From this experience alone I will not return.

This is the real review...I rarely write reviews but my experience was so bad I have to share it. We came here just to have a late dinner. We sat and were given water....no one returned for 15 minutes. We ordered, soup came 15 minutes later cold, my salad came 10 minutes later...then his sandwich came. He was half done by the time my entree was served. The food was not good. The Patio panini was full of grease. The grilled chicken was over cooked and dry. Not to mention all the irritating GNATS we were waving away all night. I was looking forward to experiencing this place but it was very disappointing. They even turned off the music so we sat in silence.

This place was was previously known as js fields. The place looks like something out of the eighties the decorations look unpolished and cheap. The service was not great the manager seem to have a Lott of mini meeting which slowed down the service a lot. The food tasted bland and without taste. The best thing about the place were their wedge fries.Overall the place has a getto feel to it but the prices which are equal to Red Robins, chillies or such.

All of Detroit was there with a great DJ to usher the comedy. The vibes were 420 friendly and the food was great. Come for laughs, vibes, and good people.

Tried to go on a Tuesday night at 8:45pm and all the tables were empty and reserved except on the patio. Even seats at the bar were being held. When asked if there was anywhere inside we could sit and have a drink one lady on the staff tried to help the other was unwilling. We ended up leaving for lack of customer service.

First time popping in and it was real quick, so not sure how I feel about it. Staff seems pretty divided- a bit strange to encounter 🤷‍♀️

Went there for the Johnny O concert love that they have valet parking so ya ladies don’t have to walk far to our cars after the bar closes . Was impressed with the concert seeing that they are limited to seating there , the concert was great and got what we paid for . Staff is awesome . Didn’t wait long for our drinks . and not to mention the food is Out of this world . If highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner and drinks ! 5 stars in my book .

Up and coming restaurant in Dearborn - former owners took over again and they are are doing an awesome job of crafting daily specials that are different from the surrounding restaurants. They have great lunch specials and the atmosphere is much different than your typical dining spot.

Review №126

This restaurant is a total scam they charge for valet to just park your car in front of the restaurant or you have a choice of parking at red robin and walking down which is ridiculous the restaurant charges a service fee as well The servers still expect a tip on top of that. There food is not good.The building is to tiny for parties.

Boooo You are a BAR/GRILL which means you sale food. But you are CLOSED ON MONDAYS ! ! ! ! ! Oh well BUDDYs got my money. The thing is that you should be open since the RED ROBIN next you is closed and the WENDYS always gives poor service.

Went for the Johnny o concert and got stuck in the back of the bar when I tried to aproch the stage to see the concert I was pushed back saying I couldnt go pass the line becouse it was VIP only I paid 10 for parking and the same amount to watch the concert its bs never going back again I rather pay that and have a awesome time at at locos or anexx were u pay less and get treated with respect. The owner of this establishment needs to do a better job when it comes to setting up for concerts.

Worst service Ive ever seen. 2 hrs to make 4 burgers. In the 4 times I went there giving them an opportunity to prove that they could be a decent place to eat. They could never get it right. The service was horrible, and it was an inconvenience to the staff to refill drinks and even do a keno ticket. I live 6 blocks away and Ill never go back in there.
