We were at the one in Cape Coral last June when visiting with the daughters family . The food was a bit pricey but was very good , love the decorating , wheels on the cars turning , ect . I wouldn't recommend their t-shirts as a souvenir , paid $25 for one of their white ones , the lowest priced one , and that is the cheapest made t I ever got . Otherwise would recommend the restaurant .

I showed my wife this thread last night. She liked that idea of the restaurant. Soooo...we are planning to go to the one in Estero before the end of February. Of course it would have to be the Model A burger. I'll see what dipping sauces are available.. Jeff

Besides my Model A Fordor, I have a 1942 Fordor. There weren't a lot of them made. I suppose my hamburger would have to be made "semi-rare".... ?

Oh well, driving 1600 miles for a hamburger is a little far. The burger would be cold by the time I got there.

My wife and I went to the one in Ft. Myers a couple of years ago. We really enjoyed the decor and food. The restroom sink is really neat.

I read somewhere that using the Ford logo for business will cost about $10,000.

In the eighties we stayed at the Ford Hotel & Restaurant in Ferndale ,California. They had a yellow "T" speedster in the center of the restaurant. Went back a few years later and it was gone.
