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 and 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.

What a gem this place is! Great happy hour drinks and food prices, and regular menu dishes are very affordable, and delicious.The environment vibe at The Auto Inn is rare these days, Sam and Chris behind the bar were attentive, welcoming and interested in their patrons. Adam is a great and told the history of the place and all the photos on the wall.
If you are looking for a great place to have an excellent time, sports, food and beverages, Auto Inn is going to become your local spot!

First time eating here and let me tell you the waitress Amanda was absolutely fantastic! Her bubbly attitude and knowledge about the menu options and all of the beers on tap ( there are so many) great selection made a great first time impression. We were able to sit where we wanted to and we were served promptly. Happy hour is from 11am- 6pm daily with a descent list of options.
We were able to get wings the way we wanted them. We created our own sampling to try all the different flavors. Our top 3 are the garlic parm, BBQ, and hot !
The pizza was good with a variety of topping options. Crust is not too thin and not too thick.
The mozzarella sticks are beer battered which gives them a nice crispy and flavorful crunch. Just add a touch of salt.
There was even a Bud Lite rep giving out free beers! Can’t beat free beers!
The owner Adam stopped by our table to check on how everything was and he said they even offer 10% military discount. Fantastic because I am a 20 year military veteran.
If you haven’t tried Auto Inn Tavern and you are looking for a friendly pub environment with outstanding service this is the place. We will be back!

Randomly stopped here after some shopping across the street. It is open and it’s a really nicely decorated bar restaurant. The staff is awesome. Sarah at the bar, formerly serving on FMB and in CC, was very friendly and attentive. The owner, Adam, took plenty of time to speak with us. We met the entire family! 17 TVs that WILL have the NFL package, so that’s where we’ll be. The owner is from Illinois and a very experienced bar restaurant owner. They have happy hour from 11 to 6.

I had lunch here today and it is the best pizza in SW Florida I have had since moving here from Illinois. Just a great Midwest pizza. Sauce was very flavorful, crust and sausage were amazing! Don’t miss out as they have a good menu and I can’t wait to try other items.
The owners Adam and Vito are down to earth great people. Thank you for coming to Florida!

Wow, what a great place! I enjoyed an excellent personal pizza, a coupla cold beers, and Monday Night Football at Auto Inn Tavern while lodged at a nearby motel. The establishment has great ambiance and aesthetics, with historical memorabilia dating to its roots in 1957 (though it just opened in 2025, there’s a fascinating story behind that). Great staff enhanced a great experience.
It’s gratifying to see a high quality, locally owned option like Auto Inn Tavern to chains like Chili’s, TGI Friday, etc. These folks have really nailed it with an outstanding fun environment and diverse menu with affordable fare. Go and enjoy, you won’t regret it!

Doesn’t have the best WOW location. But it does have the best WOW food and service. Place is decorated so great. Great food to boot! Upscale sports bar, but not uppity, next to Kanes furniture. They have the potential to go multiple locations! They put together something amazing in Ft Myers!!

Had our group of guys there. 20 guys and just one server. I was worried that we wouldn’t get good service but she took care of us very quickly and also very accurate on the drinks and food.

Tavern Auto Inn Restaurant & Bar is a nice hidden gem. The owner was very welcoming, and the employees were just as friendly, which made the experience even better. The inside of the place is really nice and has a comfortable, inviting vibe. I was there for football game night, and there was a great turnout with a fun atmosphere. I also believe they host tribute nights on Tuesdays, which sounds like a great time. Overall, a great spot with good energy, friendly people, and a relaxed setting. Definitely worth checking out!
