They took my order at the bar and had my food out in around 20 minutes. Today was pretty crowded, but I didn't expect anything different as they normal have a good amount of people up until the last hour or two. Normally there is music (that can be a little much at times), but there was no dj tonight. It's a vibe if you care for a night out. I have always enjoyed the food(portions could be better) but overall I have always enjoyed coming here.

Outstanding seafood and a delightful dining experience are sure to be found at Automatic Seafood!…read moreThis is a more upscale outing, and it made for a cozy and elegant birthday dinner/date night. What we ordered: -Smoked Fish Dip: This appetizer could have easily been shared with multiple people. The dip was so flavorful! -Fish and Chips: You definitely can't go wrong with this one. The fish was perfectly crunchy and battered, and the fries were perfect! -Spice Crusted Yellowfin Tuna: my boyfriend loved this! It wasn't my favorite, but the potato stack that it is served with was phenomenal... they know how to do potatoes here. Without a doubt, I'll be back here. Their menu changes regularly, so there's always something new I can look forward to trying.

The oysters came with bread, crackers, horseradish, and cocktail sauce if you want it, but honestly they're already topped with different flavors so you don't really need anything extra. My favorite was the Orleans... and there was another one I loved, but I can't remember the name. It was surprisingly low key for a Saturday afternoon. I got seated right away. The staff was friendly.

Phenomenal dining experience!!…read more Service was top notch from the hostess and host, our waiter and all of the runners. Attentive without being obnoxious, in depth explanations of items on the menu with great recommendations! We started with a half dozen raw oysters and the pork belly. Oysters were very fresh and the seasoned crackers were a nice touch. The pork belly was quite possibly the best we've ever had and we're slight snobs about it. The fennel and orange mixture was a unique blend that really complemented the smokiness of the pork belly, Our steaks were melt in your mouth good. Cooked perfectly! I wished I could've just taken a massive bowl of the macaroni and cheese home. The char on the broccolini balanced the richness of the macaroni. They were sadly out of the crème brûlée, so instead I had the vanilla and peach gelato, while my husband had the chocolate l'orange cake. The vanilla gelato had the perfect rich vanilla taste. The peach didn't taste much like peach, but the flavor was still good. The cake was light and fluffy with a great balance of chocolate and orange. The candied orange peel on top was a nice touch! The atmosphere is pretty busy so it was louder than I was expecting. However, the ability to see the wine cellar, fridge of aging meat, and a window to stop in to look at the kitchen was a lot of fun. Highly recommend!

We've dined at Armour House several times and always enjoy it, but this visit finally prompted me…read moreto leave a review with a bit of feedback. First, the food: truly no notes. It's spectacular every time. The rotating menu keeps things fresh and interesting, and every dish we've had has been thoughtfully prepared and consistently excellent. The kitchen is clearly doing something special and it's a big reason we keep coming back. This visit, however, the service was unusually slow. Our dinner lasted about two hours (7:30-9:30) on a night that didn't seem particularly busy. There was a noticeable lull in the dining room with quite a few open tables, yet it still took nearly 40 minutes between finishing our appetizers and receiving our main courses. The pacing just felt off compared to past visits. Valet (which I understand isn't directly run by the restaurant) was also a bit slow -- about a 15 minute wait to get our car at the end of the night. All that said, Armour House is still a really special spot with incredible food and we'll absolutely be back. Sharing this feedback because we've had such great experiences here before and hope this was just an off night.

We love this place - it is the best seafood place in Bham - the steamed crab claws are amazing !…read moreThe oysters are freshly flown in . I have not tried any other location in years - bc this place is always such a treat . I have tried some of the newer $$$$ seafood restaurants( bc my son wanted to go ) but I have always left disappointed. The fish market gets your food out hot & they do have great service , (this is why they're still in business.) I've been eating here at least 30 years - I like the casual ambiance & the oysters are to die for . In my humble opinion, this is the only place to get reliably great seafood ( & it has reasonable prices)

We were seated promptly handed menus and about 30 seconds later approached by the waitress for drink orders. We asked for a drink menu as there was nothing to advertise what drinks they were serving. She returned with 1 drink menu for all 3 of us and stood there waiting until we decided. We asked for some time so she left and returned about 2 mins later. We ordered drinks and she returned 2 mins later to take our food order. We ordered appetizers, salad and main courses. The drinks came quickly, the salads came right after and then about 3 mins later, the appetizers came out. 3 mins after that, the main courses arrived so we had plates stacked everywhere on the table and quickly tried to finish our salads and appetizers before the main dish got cold. The waitress never returned to the table until she brought the bill. The plates were all cleared by someone else. We saw her leave a bill at the table next to us and wait until they checked it over and figured out a payment method, so when she arrived at our table we just handed her a credit card. The food was average but the overall experience was terrible. I realize she was probably new and this may have been her first night but some training would go a long way! For $180 dinner, we expected a lot more.

It was most likely that fresh seafood smell gone bad. I don't know. Since this was my first time here , I decided to order my go to. Whitening plate with 2 sides. The plate was a generous amount of food. I didn't even eat it all! Fish was fried nicely but lacked in taste overall. It was missing something. I hated the fries. They appeared to be freshly cut potatoes but lacked seasoning and the hush puppies were just ok. 4.5/10 Service was straightforward. Nothing overly exceptional. I was impressed with the variety of fresh seafood offered. I think this would be a good option if you wanted to just grab and go! I may go this route the next time I'm in the mood for some seafood.

STAY AWAY AT ALL COST…read more The worse place. They have fresh fish with TERRIBLE ATTITUDES. I came here 3 times. 1st time was good only because they were busy. 2nd the GUY WITH PONY TAIL was EATING had food on his lips wiped it off with his hands and didn't clean them before trying to serve me and pick up my catfish. He also saw I was in a hurry and gave me BURNED okra and catfish that was cold. Tried to give the benifit of the doubt before leaving this review, but I came today and the owner with glasses was EXTREMELY rude. I spoke with him nicely and directly aside about the incident of the food being burned and who did it and he took offence. Didn't want to cook just because I asked if he could please make sure I get fresh okra as the last time it was over cooked. I said it's not bad but it's just his partner or employee made a mistake and it was a TERRIBLE experience as I couldn't eat it and there's the food away but he was angry and side buy to fool at home since we can't cook. STAY AWAY AT ALL COST
