Magic City Grill

I am still full and hungry 8 hours later. Every mortal on my play was delicious! The atmosphere wonderful, our waitress superb and funny. She was warm and inviting. We sat in the first booth and looked out the window and watched TV. I had the hot bar- roast beef with ice potato's and carrots, mashed potatoes and cabbage, roll and half tea half lemonade. Peach cobbler for desert. My son had breakfast: scrambled eggs with cheese, grits, bacon and 3 pancakes!. He ate it all! Took home a slice of key lime cake. It was moist, very flavorful and just the right about of icing. We will be back!

Y'all don't My Granny but...I had some of the best Chicken and Dressing I've had in my life here today! They offer a buffet of Southern home cooking...think all the good stuff...cabbage(also a stand out) greens, peas, mac, fried chicken, liver and onions...you get the idea. Tried as much as I could and liked everything I tried. Service was friendly. I'll be back next time I'm in BHM.

Soooo.I haven't been to Magic City Grill downtown in years. Partly, because I can never catch them open after work, as they close at 2:00 p.m. 🤣🤣🤣 Anywho, I was off on yesterday and stopped by. I ordered pancakes 🥞 and fried chicken wings. 🍗🍗 Ok, so really the pancake and chicken was hitting on ALL levels. Man, the pancakes were huge and made with sweet batter and the chicken wasn't fried hard and guess what? It was actually seasoned. 🤭🤭 I was eating and patting my feet!😆😆 On other notes, the buffet is still around; however, because of covid, it's not an all you can eat. 😝 You can pick meat and 2 etc. Also, now you pay before you get your food. Your food is served in styrofoam trays with plastic silverware. The prices 🤑🤑 are still hovering around affordable and the service is great! Even with all that, the GREAT SOUL food is still worth the stop by!🙌🙌💯💯

Catfish was fresh fried to order, greens were amazing, and red Kool Aid to wash it down. This place is legit!

Absolutely delicious 😋. I have never tasted food this delicious outside of my own home!!! The porkchops were tender fried perfectly. The eggs were soft and the grits were creamy. We live 3 hours away but we will back GOD willing. Thank you ladies again.

This place to me is a hidden gem, there hasn't been a time where I was displeased with the food or service. I also like that you can order breakfast through out the day. If you're reading this and haven't heard, go as quick as you can because you are not going to disappoint yourself.

We visited Magic City Grill on the last day of being in this location for 25 years. The food was amazing.

Horrible experience for the 2nd time! I should have not tried them again but always like to give the benny! I should have known when Fife's was crowded with Magic City Classic people, and they only had 2 customers being not even 2 blocks away. Before my friend ordered for me, (remind you we only went because Fifes had an hour wait and we had to get back to work) I had her to ask the lady was the steaks good, her reply was: "everything is good" :( I said let me try the T-bone steak plate, Medium! When she got back to the office the steak was not only well done but so hard and dry as if he fried the steak in a deep fryer! for 17 bucks they could have at least made it look presentable. The hashbrowns were so mediocre I don't know how you mess them up and full of grease that settled in the bottom of the plate. Eggs had no seasoning at all, and the toast was just light bread with a smudge of heat on them! Ugh. I am so upset because I was hungry! I could have paid 8 bucks for an amazing breakfast at Fifes! the hour would have been worth the wait if my friend didn't have to get back to work. So disappointed and this was my second time but best believe it will be my last! I hated it...again ! Im a foodie and try food all places regardless of price, this just took me out because I really was hungry. I do not recommend eating here. Its definitely not the best in Birmingham, not even close. BTW my friend had bacon plate and she was not pleased either..
