My husband and I chose Automatic Slim’s for our 3 year anniversary dinner. We always try and pick a place we haven’t been before. I was excited about going after looking at the menu on there website. We had the best time the food, service and atmosphere was great. I have been raving to all my friends about it we will definitely go back.

Slim's has been fabulous in the past. It used to be one of our office bunch's two favorite spots.
The new owners have the same menu, but are not using the same recipes, and most of the new recipes don't have the zing that Cindy added to her dishes. I hope they get their act together soon...and I hope the downtown folks give them a ...

We have been to Automatic Slim's three or four times. The first time we were very impressed with the food and the service was reasonable. Our most recent visit will most definitely be the last. The service was appalling. There were two members of the waitstaff, both of whom served us, but they were extremely busy and the restaurant was ...

This is my favorite place to eat downtown. Great food across the whole menu, with interesting combinations of spices and sweet seasonings. It generally has capable and friendly service, and I love the atmosphere.
For my money, the BLTA & BBQ shrimp sandwich off the lunch menu is the best (and best value, it can make 2 small meals) sandwich to be found in Memphis.

Decent food and service but nothing to write home about.

The menu has an eclectic mix of dishes with a strong South American presence. I've never been disappointed! I like the Screaming Mimi salad (hmm....wonder why?) and their sides are wonderful!
LOVE this place! The food is so creative and the flavors are such a nice change from the ho hum blandness or generic spices that other restaurants use. This is a great place for lunch or dinner or hanging out at the bar. I don't know why you would not take someone here on a date - to each their own, I guess. The atmosphere ties everything in together. Don't skip dessert either!

Not very romantic

I recently dined at Automatic Slim's (on a date) and we were both pretty disappointed. Aside from the block and a half we had to walk to get there, the restaurant was HOT once we got inside. Now everyone knows how Memphis heat and humidity can be. We were not pleased with the atmosphere either, which was not conducive to "romance". ...
