I opted for the Blackened Salmon Eggs Benedict which was delicious! As brits abroad we also had to try the chicken waffles with raspberry butter?. sorryAmericans but you are on your own with that random selection. (It?s like having Birdseye potato waffles with KFC and jam on).That aside we enjoyed the experience so much we went back the following day and had Crab Cake Benedict and Automatic slimsOmelette. As part of their brunch deal they did Bloody Mary?s and Mimosas for only $3! This is a bold statement but I?m goingto make it?.. Best? Bloody ? Mary? Ever!!!! They were delicious and a total bargain at $3! It was a lovely relaxed restaurantand the waiter was fantastic. If I remember correctly I think she was called Carlita and she was great! If you are in DowntownMemphis, check them out!

The macaroni and cheese was incredibly cheesy and gooey, with perfectly tender macaroni. The bacon flavor really came through, though the truffle was more of a subtle hint, similar to the blue cheese in the potatoes. I understand that balancing flavors can be challenging for each preference. If you enjoy just a hint of flavor, it's perfect; I would have preferred a bit more truffle myself. Overall, it was a wonderful evening filled with great music, and the staff was on point. I definitely won't wait as long to return!

I ordered a mimosa and the “Three Little Pigs Omelette,” while my husband chose the “Second Street Vegetable Frittata.” The omelette was fantastic, accompanied by a generous serving of fried potatoes. However, the frittata fell a bit short and was smaller in size. Overall, it's a decent spot, although a bit overpriced.

Although the cinnamon bun waffle was good, for $12 I was pretty annoyed that it was so small compared to all the other dishes we got that were $12-14. I ended up having to share mine with my kiddo because it was still very hungry after the waffle.

We were greeted promptly at the door even though the restaurant was busy. Everyone was very polite. As I read previous reviews, I saw 1 that stood out to me of a person by the name of Leslie Craft with a complaint of the manager. It amazed me how she wrote such a negative review when all she was told is there is a wait just as my husband and myself and others were told. Upon further notice, I realized she has only written negative reviews about everywhere she has visited. This is coming from a young woman that was seated around us and clearly said she told a guy to 'suck her.... '. It 's sad to have great workers working hard doing there job and to see inconsiderate guest use platforms to try and disrupt a business because they feel as though they are better than others. My husband and my overall experience with the food and service was amazing. The only problem I would have is that the next time someone like that enters, please ask them to leave so the rest of us may enjoy our meal in peace! Thank you Automatic Slim 's for the wonderful food and great service! And thank you young man for maintaining your composure!

Personally, I would have enjoyed a bit more of that flavor. The side dishes were good as well. The hushpuppies were tasty, especially with the chunks of onion and kernels of corn. The mac and cheese was super cheesy and gooey, with perfectly tender macaroni. I could definitely taste the bacon, but the truffle flavor was very faint, much like the blue cheese in the potatoes. I understand it can be challenging to cater to everyone's taste preferences. If you prefer a lighter touch, they got it just right; I would have liked a bit more truffle. Overall, it was a wonderful evening. The music was great, and the staff was attentive. I won’t wait so long to return next time!

I enjoyed a delicious breakfast that was well-seasoned; I had the vegetable frittata, and the portions were quite generous. The coffee was decent, and they also offer a selection of bar drinks.

We attempted to dine at three other places that were completely full on a Saturday night, but we couldn’t be happier with our final choice! Their menu was fantastic, and everything we ordered was delicious. The cheese grits were the best we’ve ever had! The service was quick and friendly as well.

My husband ordered ‘second street vegetable frittata’. The omelette was excellent. It was served with a good portion of fried potato. The frittata was rather underwhelming, and smaller in portion. Overall a decent place, and a bit overpriced too.
