Ford’s Garage, a budding burger-and-craft-beer franchise inspired by Henry Ford himself, is celebrating summer with limited-time BBQ menu offerings – including a half-pound burger, wrapped shrimp, baby back ribs, salad and more.

The new items are available through October 3rd at all 20 Ford’s Garage locations across the country. 

“Based on some of our past innovations, we know that our customers are looking for crave-able BBQ dishes. With this inspiration, we developed this menu all about BBQ inspired items,” said Jessica Tomlinson, Ford’s Garage corporate chef. “Many memorable BBQ dishes combine sweet and heat together, and that combination of flavors come together on the featured burger, the Sweet Heat Burger.”
