AUTO INN TAVERN & RESTAURANT — Restaurant in Fort Myers

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...

OMG! I found our new place to eat, drink, and hang out. This place popped up on Google Maps, and I said, "Let's try it". For lunch, I had the Italian beef sandwich, and it was excellent!! Bread was toasted perfectly, so when you dipped it in the au jus, it was a great combination. Unfortunately, Giardinera did not come with it, but I ordered some of it(hot) and put it on top. A definite MUST! The tater tots were crispy too. I met Jen, Scott, Vito and they were very friendly and informative. The place is very clean and set up great for the next football...

From the first round to the last, the atmosphere here was welcoming — friendly, inviting, and alive with energy. Gianna and Kayla ran the bar with ease: Gianna was genuinely warm, and Kayla a doll to talk to — both made each visit feel personal.

The food was tasty, the Blue Moon on tap hit the spot, and trivia night pulled everyone together — family-friendly, fun, and full of good energy. Each time I stopped in, I felt like I’d stepped into a pocket away from the outside world.

Only regret? Not tipping...
