First time ever stopped there I got the appetizer meatballs, which were awesome. Good size portion. I took more than half of them home for tomorrow. I ordered the Fleetwood, which is a pot roast sandwich with peppers and cheese. Very tasty. Could use little steak sauce, but they didn't have any that's OK. I made you flavor was pretty good. I would definitely recommend it and I would come back again.

We had a really nice first visit here. It's a bit of a wait on a Sunday morning/early afternoon, to be expected. My fiance got the Boys Waffle with home fries, and I got the chicken and waffles. We also got a cinnamon bun. I found the waffles and bun to be large for sure, but otherwise a bit dry and basic. We definitely liked her waffle choice better. The chicken is good, just different with the italian-style breading.The only complaint really is that we received our orders and then were never checked on by our server again until we got our check, so we didnt order anything else. It just felt unattentive. We'll be back to try some other things.

After eating here a few times and coming for the Tom and Jerry's, we really have come to love the food and ambiance! In the summer of course the patio is the way to go, but Tom and Jerry season also makes this place a fun spot. It was decorated fun this winter and we had a great time. Food doesn't blow us away but it is really good and a fun spot. Service was awesome too. We'll never say no to coming here on hertel!

Food was out of this world. Definitely a great choice no matter what and their portions are very large.

Apparently we don't have to visit Pandora for the best beer cheese (some of the best yet cheapest food at WDW is found at Pandora...it's weird). Anyway, beer cheese at most places is pretty underwhelming, but here it's transcendent. The food's great, too - good thing because you need something to dip in beer cheese. My husband and I had big lunches earlier in the day but decided to share a burger and sidewinder fries after attending an art reception at Revolution Gallery and stopping by the Merry Shelley across the street from The Garage. We had their specialty burger, cooked perfectly medium rare to order. The fries were amazing, too. Normally I don't like thicker fries but these were so velvety and yummy, especially dipped in the beer cheese. Drinks and service are great, too. The booths are cozy. They had a live band when we came in. Someone was weirdly miffed about the unisex single occupancy restrooms until my husband talked him down, so likely not a regular. The Garage is definitely going to become our go-to for food the next time we're on Hertel (which may become even more often now).
