Editorial Review for Automatic Slim's Restaurant – by Linda Romine
The Scene
Automatic Slim's is simply the coolest place to see and be seen in Memphis--even El-Vez, the Mexican Elvis impersonator, makes regular appearances at this trendy eatery. Some of Hollywood's finest have stopped by, like Susan Sarandon, Tom Cruise and Francis Ford Coppola. It's ecclectic, for sure: Slim's is known for bar sports stools covered in faux-zebra skins and vats of fresh-fruit-spiked vodka.
The Food
The cuisine is Southwestern via the Caribbean, with a twisted skewering of Memphis and New York thrown in to mix things up. As a result, you'll find a menu that bounces from cilantro-studded cheese quesadillas to Jamaican jerk pork and sweet corn muffins. Be sure to save room for the flavorful coffees with dessert.

At least it's different but the quality of food is suspect, the place is downtown..not bad for cocktails, etc, but I wouldn't waste my time, there's nothing on the menu that is truly outstanding at all, I think the theme is a bit overdone on the menu...jerkk this jerkkk that, odd combinations of flavours which are not really carribean at all...my take...PASS

This is one of our favorite restaurants and we are always satisfied with the food and friendly service. Our most recent visit started with superbly made cocktails and the spring rolls appetizer. We were feeling rather carnivorous on this trip and had the Jerk of the Day, which was a steak and the filet mignon. The jerk steak was perfectly seasoned and not too spicy, and was paired with rice, beans, and plantains. We have tried the jerk duck and that was equally delicious. The filet was cooked to our medium request and was arranged on top of slices of grilled red onion and tomato and topped off with crispy green onions. We are always pleased with the friendly staff, wonderful food, great wine selection, and of course, the cocktails!
Pros: Atmosphere, Creative Food, Good Parking
