Ford's Garage opens second Greater Cincinnati location in Florence. See what's on the menu

The newest Ford's Garage restaurant in Greater Cincinnati is now open for business.

Co-founder Mike McGuigan purchased the former Tilted Kilt in the Saratoga Square shopping center on Houston Road in Florence and turned it into a Ford's Garage, which opened Monday.

The Florida-based burger and craft beer franchise has a 1920's service station and prohibition bar theme. The first Ford's Garage in the area opened in Rookwood Commons & Pavilion in 2022, and McGuigan previously said he is committed to developing four restaurants throughout the Greater Cincinnati area.

Ford's Garage was founded in Florida and has since expanded to other locations in Norwood, Florida, Indiana, Michigan and Texas. The restaurant has a licensing agreement with Ford Motor Co., which allows it to use the company's logos and other brand imagery.
