With the crisp days of fall quickly approaching, no week would be complete without a taste of down-home southern comfort food; and for this, I couldn’t think of any better fix than that of Magic Grill! 

This locally owned and operated eatery is home to some of the most scrumptious po-boys, banging burgers and fabulous plate lunches.  Owner Michael ”Mike” Rodriguez strives to ensure 100% customer satisfaction in each of the dishes that he meticulously oversees coming forth out of the Magic Grill kitchen.

As for the history of Magic Grill, Mike was a long time employee of Mr. Ray Pierce and the Pierce family.  When Mike was 15, Mr. Pierce put him in charge of ensuring that each of his customers received hot French fries and service with a smile.  Over 20 years later, with the blessings of Mr. Pierce (the original owner of PeGe’s), Mike started the Magic Grill with the classic name that Mr. Pierce originally opened his first eatery with many, many years ago.  With his “top hat” logo as a symbol of quality and perfection, Mike has revived the legacy of Mr. Pierce and his phenomenal service, food and GRAVY!

Now, for the food!  Magic Grill offers such tantalizingly tempting menu items such as fresh cut fries, scratch-made onion rings, and curly fries, so starting out your tasty trek should be no daunting task; however, when it comes to making a final entrée selection, that’s when my taste buds become quite tangled! With choices such as Magic Grill’s pork chop dinner served with a heaping mound of mashed potatoes and green beans, red beans & adoullie sausage flowing atop of fluffy white rice, slow cooked- fork tender beef tips and gravy, fried catfish plates (served with a generous portions of those tasty Magic Grill fries), beans, salad and French bread, all the way down to the town favorite – sliced roast beef po-boys and open faced hamburgers, there isn’t anything that won’t satisfy your gravy cravin’!

After “filling your tank”, should you have room and an active sweet tooth, Magic Grill offers sumptuously sweet cheesecake, brownies, shakes, malts, coke floats- and yes, even ice cream Sundays!

So go see Mike and all the staff at Magic Grill where there’s a little something that is sure to please everyone!
