Great food, pretty decent service, high prices. $12 for a plain waffle seems a bit steep. Chicken fried chicken was great and so were the hash browns. Service was pretty decent considering there was only one server handling the whole restaurant. So to her, I give major kudos!

We had such an enjoyable experience at Automatic Slim’s. Jennifer gave us such friendly service and conversation about Memphis as we were visiting from out of state. The shrimp and grits and rib dinner were both very delicious and we enjoyed a few wonderful martinis as well.

Please open one in Columbus Ohio! Alternately: May I live in your fridge and work for my daily vittles? IDK why this place is so underrated. Easily listed alongside any AAA four+star or Michelin-rated restaurants I've been to in the last 25 years or so. The cocktail was good, the grits are CORRECT, and the service is quick and unfussed.

We have had meals at restaurants with Michelin stars that weren't as good as the Famous Redfish at Automatic Slim's.

I came across from the Peabody. I chose Automatic Slims after debating to go here or sugar grits. I wanted to try was the three dollar mimosas I walked in and I approach the hostess kindly greeted her and said it’s just me and she offered me a seat at the bar and I said no I prefer to have a small table. The restaurant wasn’t very crowded and she seemed annoyed when I picked my table in the back off to the side away from all the other people after about five minutes or the waitress treated me. She brought me some water and then about five more minutes later came and took my order. The restaurant wasn’t very busy. I asked for plain pancakes, ala cart scrambled eggs and bacon. I forgot to order my mimosa. The food arrived quickly. I was actually surprised how tasty the pancakes were, they taste better than in the pictures. The eggs were light and fluffy and the bacon was crisp and tasty. after I had finished my meal maybe there was confusion on my end because I wanted another mimosa, but she just all of a sudden brought me the check so I was a little bit miffed that I wasn’t actually ready to leave. Even the restaurant still wasn’t that crowded I would’ve had one more mimosa. I felt as if I was bothering the staff. It was a nice place. The food was great. Another customer commented how tasty the steak and eggs were. Most of the chairs in the restaurant do not have cushioned seats. against the wall, which is where I sat had a nice cushioned seat. The bar high tops did too. The restaurant is a bit noisy. If you’re looking for tasty food, this was actually a good place. I just would educate the servers on being more friendly or ask them if they want another drink. They checked my 52 year old ID. :)

Terrible no more than free continental breakfast with a 20 percent gratuity added to the overpriced underrated food. Save yourself the headache you would do better at Waffle House SMH. TERRIBLE

Nice spot in downtown. My husband and I stopped in for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Fast friendly service and good food
Great food, drinks and atmosphere
Went with a school trip, and they were great.
The service was great, however the food was partially uncooked.
It was okay. I went around noon.
