  This is setup as a perfect dive bar/restaurant. Let's first start off it is for all ages and good family place.
  
  They did a great job of setting up as a car and mechanic theme.  from the decor to the named burgers it down to great detail.
  
  The apps are great, I highly recommend the poutine, they dont go far from being in the state of Wisconsin with cheese curds to top.
  
  The burgers are top notch, very high quality beef that when bite into its, you will taste quality. the toppings are also very hearty and dont skimp.  
  
  Yes it is cash only but you know what, the quality is good enough you wont care it is cash only.

  First timers...
  Found on Yelp, figured we'd ck it out for a casual drink and nosh.
  A little, indiscreet place with, what looked like, mostly "locals", (because many knew eachother) with some bar and narrow bar-height stool seating, brings you up-close-and-personal with other patrons.
  
  Loud music, a few TVs showing Brewers and MMF along with some wall kitch, gives the visitor lots of stimulation.
  
  Ordered a stuffed burger with the jalapenos and pulled pork, topped with an egg... it was really good, and tasty. I would definitely order that again.  The home fries were somewhat disappointing. It looked as if I got the bottom of the barrel.
  
  Also ordered one of the fried appetizers that included three different sauces to dip in. Call this one above average.
  
  Beer draft selections are small but decent, covering most beer categories.
  
  Make sure you bring cash because they do not take any credit cards.

  After shopping at Premium Outlets, the choices were - have lunch at Culver's (down the street and not bad), eat at Gurnee Mills (they closed my favorite Mexican restaurant there) or drive back and eat someplace close to home.
  
  Or, should we try something different, something new? On Yelp, the Garage has a respectable rating and reviews for burgers and it was just 4.3 miles away on zero traffic roads - yes why not!!!
  
  Located on a corner and with plenty of parking, it was a breeze to get in. We were given a friendly greeting (I had my Chicago Bears hat on) and we realized that it was 1) Cash only and 2) you check off a list to order your burger. Plenty of seating and at least 3 flat screens to watch a few games.
  
  As for the food, the Plow burger had pulled pork, an over-easy egg, raw onion and a nice sized patty - I devoured it!!! The coleslaw was more tart than sweet, I like KFC coleslaw. The burger of the day came with cheese curds and a brat sausage on top - that was really good too. The sweet potato fries were a dollar extra.
  
  A little pricey but the ambiance, decor and scrumptious burgers - all made it an awesome visit. We'll be back for more, after enduring our Premium Outlets shopping.

  The cheese curds were great. My kids loved the fries. Some of the best sweet potato fries I've had. The stuffed burgers are excellent and the grilled chicken was a hit with two of kids.
