Ford’s Garage Debuts First Tennessee Location in Chattanooga

The new site, which can accommodate roughly 250 guests, marks the 36th location for the brand as it continues to expand across the South, Midwest, and Northeast. Managed by the franchisee group TN Legends, the restaurant features decor inspired by Ford Motor Company heritage, including various pieces of memorabilia designed to evoke a classic service station atmosphere.

Beyond the thematic design, the menu focuses on half-pound Certified Angus Beef burgers and elevated comfort food, such as the Estate Burger and Chicken Henry. The local franchise ownership team, led by managing partner Ted Moats, brings over a century of combined hospitality experience to the project. Moats, a U.S. Navy veteran and co-founder of Logan’s Roadhouse, noted that the city’s automotive history made it a logical choice for the brand’s entry into the state. The restaurant offers both dine-in and pickup services daily, operating until 10 p.m. on weeknights and 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
