The best Soul Food Restaurant. I enjoyed my meal so much I got my car towed. The ladies of the Magic City grill help me and my daughter so much in getting our car back. I just want to thank you wonderful ladies for everything. You all showed us real love thank you so much for everything Me and my daughter will be back soon. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

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.

So I go to bham to do some shopping and have lunch with my husband so we decided to go to lunch we googled food near me and this place came up right around the corner …..so we must have caught them on a bad day cause I’ve never received the treatment I received here people are rude (from what I observed) to people they did not know but anyway on to the exterior and interior very old needed updating and some sort of structure on how the business works cause if you have never been here you would not know where to get your food how you get a drink it was just weird ok so the food it’s your very basic meat n 2 or meat n 3 etc food was edible the fried chicken was pretty good and the rice and gravy but in my opinion it wasn’t that good

The Mac and cheese was not good at all. The girls serving the food was nice, but the lady at the register acted as if I was bothering her because I came in. Sorry for patronizing the business, but I won't anymore.

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!????

Food good but the place needs a complete makeover.

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.

I love their steak breakfast plates they give you a lot of food for a reasonable price ?

Their steaks are tougher than a soldier, I'm just letting you know before you get fooled by the pictures on the menu. Other than that the food is okay.
