Auto Inn Tavern & Restaurant Stopped by for Lunch on a Tuesday at noon. This place was not that busy. The interior is decorated in cool items but is not fancy. They had about 17 large TVs around the dining area with tables and booths. It was neat and clean. We did enjoy the Music that that was being played. Our server took our drink and food order fast. I ordered the Filet Mignon Sandwich with Tator Tots. My wife ordered the Haddock Sandwich with Fries. It took a little time for our orders to come out. My Filet Mignon sandwich was very good, and the Tots were done perfect. My wife's Haddock was a tad overdone but very good as was the Fries. We like the food all was hot and tasty. The server was on top of things plus she was friendly and answered any questions we had. I must give this place 4 out of 5 stars. Gulf Coast Terry read more

11 days new to south Cleveland Avenue! Yes, it rhymes. Located next to kabob village. Parking is a little tight, but there are spaces around the corner. OK let's get to the review: Service: friendly staff. Very patient. Honest. Descriptive. Food: 2 plates they are 11 days in known for: wings and pizza. Now today I had the wings and mac n cheese bites. Which means I must come back to try their thin crispy za. My wings were tender and juicy. And my Mac bites were crispy and tasty. The PB explosion...explosive! Ambiance: men..we all love a good bano..the most pristine i ever seen in a restaurant. The restaurant as a whole. Didn't catch that "tavern" vibe..but with that of a worn dark wood (think that of a dock) finish for the bar..they're trying. Great hours. Great happy hour times. It's rare you'll find a 11am-6pm happy hr. Listen, come by, give them a try. read more

I had to think about this one for a while before posting my review. My husband and I were born and raised in Chicago, we take our pizza VERY seriously, and we are always on the lookout for a good approximation of Chicago style pizza and atmosphere close to our home. First thoughts, this felt like a Chicago bar, noisy, dark, lots of laughs, sports on TV, fabulous. We waited quite awhile for our beer, but I'm guessing it was due to the large table that arrived at the same time as us. The menu was ok, not a huge selection of appetizers, mostly breaded and fried everything, we got the onion rings, which were definitely just bagged onion rings. Nothing special. Ordered our pizza, and I asked if it was Chicago thin crust, I assumed it was but since it wasn't specified on the menu I figured I'd ask. She said I could ask for it if I wanted it that way, so I guess if you like your Chicago pizza like a Chicago pizza, you have to ask? Well I asked, and it was good, very good I'd say, and the crust was nice and thin and crisp. My husband thought his toppings were a little sparse, but was also impressed with the cracker thin tasty crust. I will definitely go back for another pizza, but I'll be sure to ask them to cut it properly, it came in pie slices and everyone knows a Chicago pizza gets cut into squares! All around, minus the onion rings, this is a good spot for a Chicago style feel and meal. read more

The food is always cooked order and there's a large selections. We had the hamburger and pizza we were very happy. My husband absolutely loved to the pizza and he's very picky. They have lots of monitors so there's always entertainment to watch and if you're into sports, this is definitely your place. We went there the second time and they were playing live music. Very impressed. Service is amazing and the OWNER is always right there to make sure that everybody is in good hands. Will definitely recommend to anybody read more

I went here on a recommendation from my parents that went two weeks earlier. My father raved about the filet mignon sandwich, saying it's the best he's ever had and cooked perfectly medium rare. My experience wasn't as good. I ordered the same sandwich and the meat was overcooked. They put 3 filet medallions in the bread with mushrooms and onions. 2 of the 3 pieces were medium well, and 1 piece medium. No pink or red at all. I didn't taste any seasoning either. The wings cooked perfectly but the blue cheese is nasty. It's not homemade and was warm. I think it's Ken's dressing sitting at room temp. Good wings always come with homemade blue cheese. It's a must for me. I did not complain as the typical response of a restaurant is comping a meal and I don't want that. I would give this place one more chance. Maybe the overcooked steak was a fluke.... Service was excellent. The place was dead so the server only had two tables. The atmosphere is nice and clean. It's much larger than it looks from the outside. I was impressed actually. read more

Auto Inn Tavern - Happy hour special - Salad Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

First timers! Auto Inn Tavern has a really cool vibe -- the kind of laid-back, local spot that's easy to hang out at for hours. Loved that they have darts and a pool table, which definitely adds to the fun. The staff was super friendly and made us feel right at home. We tried the wings and the meat lovers pizza (requested without ham). The wings were really good -- juicy and full of flavor. The pizza was solid too! I just personally prefer a thinner crust, so that part is all about your pizza style -- if you like a thicker crust, you'll probably love it. They also have great happy hour and shot specials, which is always a bonus. All in all, a fun place to kick back with good food, cold drinks, and a welcoming crowd. Will definitely be back! read more

First time coming here, was recommended and did not disappoint. The staff was friendly and service was quick.

Great service! Food was really good. Chicken bacon ranch pizza was so good. We also had grouper sandwich that was awesome too. One person had the Italian beef sandwich which she said was fantastic! We will be coming back soon! read more

Delicious grouper sandwich & tots and the cheeseburger & fries although the onions were ordered grilled and they came out raw. Eva, a very friendly waitress! Major points for having an atmosphere where you could sit and talk without blaring music. read more

First time here .. the service was personal and Laura was awesome!! The food was good especially the pizza.

Real friendly people, came for the good food and wanted to stay because it's a comfortable place with good people ...

What a disappointment. The Italian Beef sandwiches were just bad. Thick, incredibly chewy and the gravy was straight fat. If they've been to Chicago, they haven't eaten a Beef there. It had great promise. Sure hope they get it together soon. Convenient location. Hoping the rest of their food is better. read more

Good Italian Beef sandwich and very good service. I'll be back to watch Da Bears! Easy in and out off 41 by Page Field.

Stopped in for lunch, I had the Italian Beef sandwich and my friend had the meatball appetizer. Everything was so amazing! Au Jus had perfect flavoring. Amazing service, Vito works hard in the kitchen preparing everything and it shows. Definitely will come back again to try more. read more

Grouper sandwich and white pizza was delicious. Friends of ours tried the wings and said they were also great. While there band set up. Music was great but way too loud for the size of the restaurant. Other than that it's a great place to hang out with friends for a night out. Lots of tv's to watch the games. read more

Absolutely the BEST meatball sandwich I have ever had. Just the right bun - not too much bread. And the French fries were hot and crispy. Rachel was an attentive server. Nice big comfortable booths! read more
