Went in with high expectation but it was nothing like the reviews. The burgers are excellent but that's about it. Fries are meh. Not much variety with the beer selection. Honestly, if you aren't buying drinks then forget about service. Waiters have to be flagged down and look at you like you're wasting their time. Very confused because the reviews i read before going made me look forward to trying it out.
Review Source:I seriously love the garage. I could live in this place. When I lived in Norman, I went to the Garage all the time and when I found out that there was a Garage in Edmond near my place of employment, I was overjoyed. The Garage possesses my #2 favorite veggie burger that has had the pleasure of being inside my mouth (#1 was in Interlaken, Switzerland--not so easy to obtain). Not only do they have an amazing veggie burger but they have amazing sweet potato fries and wonderful dipping sauces (GARLIC AIOLI) as well as marvelous bar selections and if you're wanting to get a little day drink on, this is seriously the place to do it. They also have the option of getting a whole wheat bun for your burger. They actually were out of them the last time I came here but I won't judge them as long as they won't judge me for having a few beers at noon. Service has always been great here and they play wonderful music as well as movies like Karate Kid.
I don't think that can be beat.
Outstanding burgers!
Just take a look at the menu and you can get a feel that this is not your local McDonald's at work.
So many wonderful options for your bread, meat and toppings...if you have a bad experience it's your own fault.
Oh and way cool that the bartenders come to your table if you don't sit at the bar itself.
I say bring on more Garage Burgers in the metro!
When you arrive at The Garage Burgers and Beer, you'll place your order and pay at the counter. Â They have a variety of burgers that can be prepared with an Angus beef, turkey, bison or even a vegetable patty. Â See the full menu here. Â We ordered the Classic beef for my daughter and the Bacon Avocado Ranch turkey for me, plus plenty of frenchie fries. Â They'll give you a number and send you to the dining room to find a table. Â Tip: Â be sure to grab a handful of napkins at the counter. Â If they have any in the dining room, I didn't see them.
The dining room is pretty darn cool with man friendly, gear-head decor from floor to ceiling. Â There are old porcelain signs, car parts, and license plates everywhere. Â Overhead doors divide the two dining areas and TVs are all over the place. Â To my delight, they weren't all tuned to Sports Center. Â While we waited for our food the waitress stopped by with the beer and shots menus. Â Needless to say, my teenage daughter and I didn't partake in any local brews or shots. Â But if you wanted to, it looks like they have plenty to select from at the full bar.
It didn't take long for our food to arrive. Â When it did, it didn't take long for us to eat it either. Â It was fantastic! Â We ate just about every bite {burp}. Â Don't just take my word for it. Â Give it a try next time you are on the east side of Edmond. Â I'm sure we will be back
Driving down Bryant, I see the sign for the Garage and decide that since I am a proponent of both burgers and beer, this would be a place well suited to my tastes. My assessment was correct. First visit was about two in the afternoon.
Rather than having a waiter from the start, I found myself in a short line with menu above much like the fast casual restaurants. I ordered a buffalo burger, Parmesan garlic fries, and a Moscow Mule. The food came out quick, but the drink took a bit longer. In the meantime, I noticed that the restaurant was fairly busy even well past normal lunch hour. It was a bit noisy, although the worst of it was another patron discussing unpleasant topics one seat away.
The food itself was solid. Buffalo makes for a great burger and the Parmesan garlic fries had a distinctive style. A bit messy with the grated Parmesan and the garlic really stands out. I rather enjoy that. The Moscow Mule was right on and the copper mug was a very nice touch.
One good visit down. I decide to drop by a second time later on to see how it is when it's a bit quieter. A midnight visit since the Garage is open until 2 am, something that is very appreciated. Grill closes earlier, then kitchen. While there are fewer people, the music has been cranked up fairly loud, mostly stuff from the 90s.
End result is that I've found the kind of place I wanted to find in Edmond. No smoking, open late, and can make almost all of the best classic drinks. Almost.
Had the avocado, ranch and bacon buffalo burger. Not too shabby at all. The reviews were pretty spot on about the fries, though. They were pretty soggy toward the middle of the basket. The seasoning on them was very good, though. Full bar and atmosphere were an added bonus to a fine burger.
Review Source:Huge fan! Love the menu, love the atmosphere. Regardless that it is located way in the northeast parts of Edmond, it really is worth the drive.
The Garlic PARM fries are amazing and I don't think I will ever go there without ordering them.
I also love that it isn't overkill on portions. They offer Turkey and Garden burgers as alternatives to beef, and they have wheat buns and lettuce wraps on request!
Nice that more restaurants like these are offering a touch of options!
Honestly, this place was relatively nice and the food wasn't bad, but due to all the hype I had heard about it from my friends I left feeling a bit underwhelmed--though that may be entirely subjective, and may vary based on what you order.
The employees were very friendly and attentive, but it's pretty packed at lunchtime, so be prepared to wait for a little while for your food.
I have been there 3 weeks in a row now and I could not be more impressed. The flow of the restaurant and bar are great. Very attentive staff. The burgers rank up there with the best in Oklahoma and the best I have every had! I like how they are inventive with their culinary skills as well. I had the bacon infused vodka bloody mary and it was great. Tried the Moscow mule which is a must. Overall The Garage gets the 5 star vote. I would recommend to anyone!
Review Source:My wife & I had lunch here today. We wanted to go somewhere that had good lunch food, good beer selection & plenty of TV's for sports. Garage Burgers & Beers had all of the above.
I had the fish tacos with fries and she had the burger with fries. Our appetizer was the chips & salsa which were great! The queso dip was perfectly seasoned & chunky salsa delicious.
My fish tacos were crispy and full of flavor. My wife's burger was good but a little dry. She likes it very well done so that wasn't a problem. The only thing I wasn't happy with was the fries. I guess not everyone makes their fries the same way but I like mine crispy. These were seasoned nicely but soft & not crispy at all. Still tasty though.
The beer selection was great! I had a Moose Drool & Spaten Oktoberfest. Being a beer snob, I was thrilled to see plenty of options besides the usual, disappointing domestics.
The staff was all extremely friendly & helpful. I'll be back.
I just experienced my first contact (lunch) with The Garage. I had been trying to get in since it first opened a couple of weeks ago, but even late afternoon efforts were discouraged because of the large crowds hanging out the door. Now, I Â wish I had waited another few weeks. It was still crowded, but I made it to the order taker within 5 minutes, or so. I ordered a burger, fries and a drink. No big deal right? Then the wait began. I finally got my order 32 minutes later (I checked the order time on the receipt) and both burger and fries were STONE COLD. While the burger and fries were flavorful, the employees are obviously still struggling with getting food to the table in a timely manner. I really did like the place, but won't be back until a service has been given a chance to improve. If your lunch time is strictly enforced, I'd suggest going somewhere else, at least for the time being. I'll update my review next time, if I have a different experience.
Review Source:I live and work in Edmond and when I'm in town I go out to eat lunch just about every work day with 3 or 4 guys from work. These are quick lunches with guys who typically crave simple but good food. Criteria for this crowd is one part good food, one part variety, and one part economy. Â The Garage is a place we have driven by several times on the way to someplace else. Today we decided to stop in and see what it was all about.
We had dropped by one other day, but seeing a line out the door, we left. As it turns out, the line is only because it takes a little longer to order than it probably should. As the line out the door was not reflective of the number of tables available inside.
The menu is pretty diverse for bar food. Numerous types of hamburgers, tacos, French fries, cole slaw, various deserts, and more.
I ordered the CBELT (a BLT with egg and cheese) cole slaw (they give it another name) and a soda. Total with tax was under $9.00.
My fellow diners had burgers of various configurations and toppings. I also saw French fries on the table for a few seconds. That is before the guys scarfed them down like a pit bull on a bowl of kibble.
"This is great" and "Wow, what a burger" were both things my table mates said in between bites. I can tell you, there was nothing left when they finished, and the burgers are not small!
I almost regretted not getting a burger. After all the sign outside the building says "Burgers and Beer". It didn't say a dang thing about egg sandwiches with bacon and rabbit fixings. Still, when my sandwich arrived I bit into it, and instantly knew... I picked the best thing off the menu! All the fixins on this sandwich blend together to make the perfect lunch/breakfast type flavor sensation. I will be having this bad boy again, and soon!
The Garage is nice inside too. A big area is where booth and tall tables and chairs seat patrons and numerous big flat panel tvs have sports, ex showing. The bar crosses one side of the room and the vaulted ceilings give a nice airy feeling to the space. Another room in the front has games and more tables.
I look forward to going back and trying a burger soon. I hope they an do something to speed up the ordering process, but take it from me, the food is worth the slight hassle.
I had a great night out at The Garage. Â You order fun burgers and fries at the front counter which is then delivered to your table. Â You also have a bartender who takes your drink order at your table. Â Our bartender/server was very attentive. Â In fact everyone was very attentive. Â The food was outstanding and the drinks are to die for (and pretty cheap $5-7). Â You MUST try the Moscow Mule, which they even serve in a copper cup. Â It can't get better than that!! Â As if food and drinks isn't enough, the decor is great and they even have a game room. Â I will definitely be back!
