The Take
Order the Signature Black Angus burger medium rare, no bun, with a side salad. Ford's Garage St. Pete earns a 68 Slop score for solid fresh meat buried under fried defaults.
The 1/2 lb never-frozen Black Angus stays juicy per reviews, yet the menu defaults to onion rings, cheese curds, and wings in the fryer. Craft beer and the garage theme signal status nostalgia more than nutrition.
The Verdict
Hit the Signature Black Angus medium rare with modifications and skip every fried item. The 68 Slop score keeps it mid-tier bar food dressed in theme-park nostalgia.
Status signal for retro car guys and date-night beer drinkers. Buy the burger your way or stay home.
