    Had lunch there twice in one week. Nice patio area with plenty of shaded seating. Had chicken salad sandwich and southwest salad with shrimp. Both good. Was with 5 other people and they all liked their food. Eclectic decor. Parked in lot to the north across the street. Parking can be a challenge since the area is popular.

    Fun place to have lunch with grandkids and daughter in law. I had the burger and the kids had the cheese burger and fries. Loved the Halloween decorations.

    Perfect place for a perfect evening on weekday/weekend! Fresh beers, mean cocktails, limited but good and filling menu! And yes they have a huge patio with nice seating with distance Loved the server, very helpful and very nice.

    Apparently this is the place to go with many small loud children. The noise level is off the charts but it may have been that we were there early on a Saturday. We could not hear our own conversation. The Chicken Salad Sammy I had was ok but missing something. The service was great.

    We were really impressed with this place! All of the car-themed memorabilia is a fun touch. They have a nice patio and sometimes have live music. The food was great as was the service. The menu was on the short side but they have a lot of good options. I would recommend!

    Fred’s Garage is a great stop with a fantastic outdoor patio and a fun interior design. The food is really good - we had the salmon burger, the griddle burger (very tasty!!) and the sweet Chili chicken tenders. Everything was really good. The reason for the 4 stars is the quality of the service - our waiter was a tad bit inattentive and not the friendliest, but he got the job done. The place was packed on a Monday night so the staff did have their plates full (pun!). Will definitely be back for the great food and atmosphere!

    Service is always good, it’s very kid friendly in the afternoon/early evening. Kids love the butter noodles, fries and oranges there. Definitely recommend the shrimp tacos and Cajun pasta.

    As someone that is still not doing indoor dining, I really appreciated the outdoor space at Fred's Garage. There are overhead heat lamps for cooler times and I'm curious to see how late in the season they will stay open outdoors. The Gerald McClendon band was spectacular! The menu although simple, was executed really well. We loved the barbecue chicken wings that were finished on the grill and the salads were super! Top it all off with stellar service and it all added up to a great night out!

    First time here by a friend recommendation. Came out to see Kevin's house for the day and came straight here for lunch. Cannot rave enough about the cheese curds! Delish; We had the the steak sandwich, burger, shrimp wrap. Ate everything! Will try 5o come back here in the Summer.

    Stopped in on a whim, best whim stop in long time. Jess, Ethan (server) were absolutely great and welcoming. Food was very good. I had the cheese steak, wife had the salmon burger. Stop in say hello, have a drink, and good conversation!!!
