"Lots of windows with an urban/industrial view (maybe not "scenic" in the usual sense, but interesting nevertheless). Decor is motorcycle industrial. With the big screen TVs and all the metal furnishings and high ceilings the noise level is high.The menu features a range of upscale burgers and salads. I had beef brisket tacos with an avocado cream sauce that was great. There seems to be bleu cheese on almost everything, but the waitress offered to swap cheeses on the entrees. The Harley Museum is well worth a visit and so is this retaurant."

"The food at Motor was good,presentation shone, but experience as a whole makes us unlikely to return.Arrived to celebrate a birthday-were unable to get near Motor,got caught in parking lot traffic jam-- black tie event at The Garage.No parking spots in the lot. People directing traffic less than helpful gesturing "go around that way"- that meant"park in the muddy lot--in the grass--across the busy street, and then hike back in the drizzle." Got to the restaurant & politely mentioned wished we had been warned about event.That annoyed hostess.Motor REALLY loud--H.O.G event on site, so really crowded. Hard to converse. Wished had come a different night. Or gone somewhere else."

"The burger was amazing. The buffalo cheers curds have me thinking about making the 56 mile trip back just to eat them again. Above all, there was the rudest tour group that felt so entitled and were absolutely horrible to the entire staff but through it all the staff maintained composure. My congratulations to the staff because I wouldn't have been able to stay nice."

"I was very un-happy with the food. me and two friends went for an after work meal. The chicken wings were hard with no taste. The fried fish had a cornmeal crust that had no flavor and was like wood planks. The burger was poorly put together. And never had I been to a resturant with a bar that didn't serve shots. Sad for Motor and me I was so looking forward to coming back with my husband."

"This place is a hidden gem. Great food/comparable pricing. Staff is very friendly. Love going there in warmer weather, sit outside whether it is to eat or just have cocktails, catch up with friends/family. Menu is unique. Fish Fry was Excellent! My suggestion: Get There!"

"I enjoyed Motor and would do it again as a "casual" dining experience. Truth be told, I picked it "by mistake" as a Valentine's Day dinner for my girlfriend and I. I was looking for something a bit more "upscale", that said we did have a good time and had OUTSTANDING service by the folks there."
