Magic City Grille
The Magic City Grille is a restaurant with three locations in Fairfield, Hueytown and Bessemer.
It was originally opened in 2000 in the former Kent's Magic City Dining Room space at 2201 3rd Avenue North by Reginald White.
Two other locations followed, a Magic City Grille II at 4610 Gary Avenue in Fairfield by 2011, and a Hueytown Magic City Grille Fish & Wing Cafeteria at 500 Brooklane Drive in the former Tasty's Fish & Chicken and Signature Grille building in Hueytown around 2019.
The downtown Birmingham restaurant building was acquired in late 2022 by Kupperman Companies of New Orleans, Louisiana. The new owners and the restaurant were able to reach an agreement on a lease amount, but not on other terms of the lease. White looked at other locations in Birmingham before deciding to relocate to 1901 2nd Avenue North in Bessemer.
