    Fantastic breakfast!
    Jack A.

    Supper clean restaurant, excellent service and fantastic food. Have been here several times, never disappointed

    Grilled chicken sandwich
    Greg H.

    I love this place. I'm going to autos for over a decade and they never disappoint you. The inside is really very diner-like with license plates and pretty much every place you can think of decorating the walls. The staff are wonderful and very courteous. The best thing about Autos is the portions. You really do get what you pay for as all the sandwiches and breakfast especially are large. I would be absolutely shocked if anyone walked out of that place still hungry. If you're up in the Northwest Valley definitely take this place in for breakfast. The biscuits and cinnamon rolls and eggs and home fries are not to be missed. I just happen to stop in for lunch this day and was very thrilled with the grilled chicken sandwich. This place is a staple in this neighborhood and hopefully we'll be for a long time to come.

    Nice fluffy biscuit with really nice sausage gravy

    Today the hubs and I decided to stop at Otto's Empire which it has been a few years since we'd been here. The food is so delicious I think better than years ago. We will definitely be coming back here.

    Didn't feel very friendly and the breakfast reminded me of, just breakfast. Ambience was average.

    We have been wanting to try this place for a while now. It is in the middle of ASU campus and…read moresometimes we avoid the area because of traffic but today we were in the area and we decided to go! Friday afternoon around 3pm after a baseball game. There are about 5-7 parking spots out front. We were happy to find a spot. It is CASH ONLY. So make sure you bring cash! It is one of the oldest places in the area and we have heard amazing reviews! It has a lot of history and super cool pictures and a great vibe. The people are great. William took really good care of us. We got the bacon cheeseburgers, fries and beer battered mushrooms. FIVE STARS!!! Omg. William was friendly and he made sure our entire order was made to order so our fries and beer battered mushrooms were fresh! They charcoal broil your burgers to order in front of you! Everything was delicious! You can definitely taste the charcoal broiled meat!!! The fries were perfectly salty and crispy! We asked for extra crispy fries. And the beer battered mushrooms were crispy on the outside, salty and juicy on the inside. It is also important to note that they premade bacon pieces in the shape of the burger patty so every bite has bacon! It was spectacular. I love my entire meal!

It's a no frills small joint that's been slinging food here for decades. I got the bacon cheese burger, fries and a coke. Simple, yet all I need with a burger. I loved how they do the bacon here too. It's not strips of bacon but instead a circle of bacon. So good and crispy! The condiments are self serve in this middle area and you shout your order when it's your turn and then wait for your burger to come up then grab a tray, your burger, drink and side. I love a nostalgic place, and this is def that! It was packed when we got there but don't fret. Line moves fast and people eat and then get out knowing it's a place you eat and then move on.

There are two large bars with various locally brewed beers on tap. Many of the beers are by Arizona Wilderness. The outside patio is shaded and does have misters for the hot summer days. The restaurant also have a water station and shared doggy water bowls available for use. On Tuesdays all the tacos on the menu are $4. I got the Pulled Pork and the Beer Battered White Fish. Both were delicious. The restaurant also offers a number of shareable dishes and burgers. Will be coming back to try some of the other items. Bingo had a great time people watching and loves meeting other dogs when he is there. During the weekends this place does get very packed so go early if you want a spot. Bingo definitely approved of this spot.
