    Kind of a tacky question but this is a cfb board first and foremost! Does anyone recall if automatic seafood has TVs or anything at the bar or am I SOL for this din with my gf’s parents

    Yeah I went when they first opened and now I can’t recall. Thinking it’s probably a no.

    If they do its only in the bar. Definitely not in the restaurant.

    7.1 is about right for post office. Slice would’ve got a 7.4. Area 41 maybe a 7.6.

    I think the crawfish and conecuh pizza at Bottega Cafe is the best one I’ve had in Bham. Also love Bettola.

    For casual pie I would take Post Office over Slice.

    Like a Devinci’s pie for ridiculous amounts of cheese. Like Tortugas when I’m in the mood for deep dish. Enjoy Davenport’s for nostalgia even though I know it’s not really very good. Hate Dave’s.

    Never had Area 41 or Iron City.

    Never cared much for Post Office Pies. It's good but it's nothing remotely special or outstanding. Barstool guy nailed it.

    Dave's in Homewood has better pizza than the vast majority of places in the area. Really good wings too.

    Post office pies has inconsistent service but their pizza is absolutely top tier. Also John Hall is one my favorite dudes in Bham.

    My pizza test for all spots is how good is their pizza margherita. Basically how good are your base ingredients. Post Office pies is outstanding and Bettola is as well.

    I'll admit I'm a sucker for Davenport's as well for the nostalgia factor. The hot hipster waitresses too.

    Slice is probably my favorite slice in Birmingham, but Filling station is relatively close to me and I love it.

    I didn't mean to take away from eating in. It's a nice atmosphere. But, we also get takeout from there fairly frequently. All told, I eat there 2-3 times per month.
