Very disappointed in how this place is run.it could be one of Memphis’ best if they figured it out. There are too many good restaurants in Memphis to go there again so unfortunately we will not be back. Honestly if it were not for Dominque I would probably be giving AS a score of 1. At this point there were literally 5 other people in the entire restaurant so I don’t know what was holding the kitchen up but someone needs to be held accountable in there. The adults sat together and three of the entrees came out together and mine was a good 10 minutes later. The kids sat at another table and their food came out first. Cons - the food come out very slow and broken up. However, she was apologizing all night for the shortcomings in the kitchen. As an example, my surf and turf was only $24 but it also only had 2 shrimp and about 6-8 ounces of meat. Once the food arrived it was “decent” for the price. She was bubbly and worked hard but she had lots to overcome. Pros - Dominique, our server was a major bright spot. The place still has a very cool look and feel but it was only about 1/3 full so I was worried when we walked in especially since downtown was hoping last night. It is NOT the same.My wife and I have been married for 17 years and Automatic Slims was one of our first dates and we have fond memories so we decided to take our kids and some friends. I dine at McEwen's, Filicia Suzanne's, SOB, Blue Fin, Blue Fish, Bleu, Flight and others. Good food and good service and good atmosphere. I brunch at The Beauty Shop, Bosco's, Local, the Majestic, Paulette's and others. I dine at many restaurants in the City of Memphis. To date, neither the manager or owner has called. I left my name and telephone number, asking the owner to please call. It's probably on the trendy side, but I found it to be a comfortable place to dine solo on a weekday evening. They have a well stocked bar, a decent wine selection and a diverse menu with lots of options. The owner, I was told, does not visit this particular restaurant on any regular basis. Delivery & Pickup Options - 447 reviews of Automatic Slim's 'I really like this place. I went back the next day and asked to speak with the owner. It is a manager's job to know when food is returned, find out the problem and try to make the customer's dining experience positive. Evidently, knowing how to manage, knowing how to approach and speak with customers or making bad situations better for her customers is not what she knows. She admitted she did not know the facts and was unaware of my cold food, not getting my food replaced or that I had paid for the drinks. Being in Memphis, Automatic Slim's Restaurant in 38103 serves many nearby neighborhoods including places like Glenview-Edgewood Manor, Barton Heights Neighborhood Watch, and Handy Holiday Community Club.

On the sidewalks of Memphis, after being verbally accosted by Automatic Slim staff, I explained to the "Manager," who left her restaurant unattended, along with two of her wait staff, what had actually happened. The "manager" threatened to call the police. The "Manager" with our waiter and another waiter began to accuse me of being rude for leaving. We walked out of the restaurant and walked a half a block to the corner of Third and Union Avenue when three people yelling at us quickly approached. Care for the customer's experience does not exist. No one offered to buy us a drink, coffee or anything while we waited. The food had yet to arrive, now almost an hour and a half since first ordering. Twenty minutes later I left money to pay for three drinks and I left an undeserved tip. He assured me I would be priority and new dishes would arrive promptly. He looked at me and said, "they are cold." The side potatoes were barely warm.

I called her back to finish wiping the table properly. She removed the broken glass, leaving behind glass chars on the table. A young lady wiped the table and while cleaning broke one of the glasses that was left on the table. Shelley and I arrived and was seated promptly.
