Best buffet in town. Don't bother with the menu at lunch. Be sure to eat their soul food buffet. It's the best in town!! They have the best fried chicken every day and other meats and veggies according to the day of the week. The salad bar is fresh and included in the buffet.
The chicken pot pie, broccoli and chicken casserole, chicken and dumplings, and neckbones are just a few of my favorites but I've never had anything I didn't like.
All the veggies are home-cooked and they have the best collards in town.
Love this place!!! They are so nice and the food is the best home-cooking in Birmingham.
Fantastic!. Comfortable setting, great service, great price, outstanding food! A+!
Yummy Down Home Goodness. Got a hangover? Or maybe you're just hungry for some good down home southern cookin'? This, my friend, is the place to go. The fried chicken-- amazing. The green beans-- amazing. The dressing-- amazing. Eveything-- amazing. It felt like Thanksgiving in January! Not to mention, the nice people who work there treated me like I was their own kid! They were so friendly and hospitable. Do yourself a favor and go try this place! Try the buffet- it'll blow your mind.
Awesome home cookin'.. Went for lunch today. Food and service were outstanding. Try the buffet--lots of goodies on there. Some of the best fried chicken and collard greens I've ever had. The dressing was pretty phenomenal, too! All you can eat for two cost only $17.
Magic city grille. The best authentic southern cooking.
Great breakfast...friendly service.... Magic City Grille is the kind of enlightened place where you can get chicken and waffles or pork chops for breakfast.. Great and friendly service (both the wife and I got hugs when our waitress found out we were out of towners) and terrific food...
They call you honey or sugar , treat you like a favorite son, and feed you well. What more could one want...
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!🙌🙌💯💯
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.
Catfish was fresh fried to order, greens were amazing, and red Kool Aid to wash it down. This place is legit!
I feel like I’m sitting down at my Granny’s table when I eat at this place. Delicious food that tastes home cooked and loved on. Prices are great, staff is even greater. The rest of your day will just float right by after you take your last bite.
Visited today for the first time and will definitely be back. The food is fantastic and the staff super friendly. Nothing fancy, but great food.
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.
