Reviews of Automatic Seafood and Oysters birmingham AL
Jameson Ware
Very tasty fish dishes. We had the grouper and flounder. They were perfectly cooked and deliciously seasoned. The hush puppies, collard greens, and shrimp toast were also excellent. The service was great. Ashley, our waiter, was very friendly and helpful. We had a reservation for two and were seated immediately.

Amazing seafood but so much better than you can imagine. For a state use to having seafood straight from the gulf almost on every corner, Automatic does an amazing job of designing dishes to stand out above so many others. But they also do classics in a very definitive way that solidifies how well it's done. One of those items are their hush puppies! The best in town by far and you can't go wrong with them as a side to any dish.

Automatic is on point nearly every time my wife and I eat there, which is often. The consistency of the excellent food and service is what really stands out. Every other restaurant in town I can think of can be great one night and have multiple issues on a different night, but not here.
The food is seasonal, unique, and expertly prepared. Same goes for the cocktails and wine selection. They're also quite down-to-earth and not at all pretentious. I really have nothing negative to say other than having had a couple of takeout orders that weren't to the same standard.
All in all, if you love seafood and appreciate true fine dining, this is the place.

Had brunch here and it was wonderful! Sat outside and had great service. Food was fresh and there’s a nice variety to choose from. Definitely try the donut holes - they aren’t too sweet. I look forward to trying this place for dinner.

My absolute favorite restaurant in Birmingham! Love the layout and vibe of the restaurant (including the bathrooms!). It's classy but cool and not too stiff. Sometimes I will get a main course but most often we put together a meal of all the smaller dishes they offer. This time they had both heirloom tomatoes AND the fried okra on the menu. I've never been a big oyster lover so I always get the grilled oysters but this last time I had two raw ones. Delicious! Server's suggestion for wine was excellent.
