Magic City Krabs - Birmingham

Seafood here very tasty. Definitely worth going back to. The prices are fair for the quality of food. Food is similar to a cafe in Indianapolis I loved.

Impressive food taste and customer service. This food house has commonly seafood variations. People make a crowd here to get their loved recipe. I liked some of their dishes including Magic City Plate, Shrimp Platter, Snow Crab Platter, etc.

So, Magic City Krabs does have good food... when they are actually open and serving food. I haven 't been since they moved to a new larger location one of the reasons is because the hours of operation are sporadic and it 's too much of a hassle to determine if they 'll be open that day. Let 's get down to why the two stars. Magic City Krabs advertises different food specials during the first week of the new year. The Saturday, 1/4/2020 special was 2 clusters, 13 shrimp, 1 sausage, 1 egg, and potatoes for $18. Sold, can 't beat that deal right? I check the hours of operation to make sure that they are indeed open for business to see they close at 7 pm. Perfect, I arrive at 6:20 to lights off, and people mopping floors with a big closed sign on the door. I asked someone from the inside how are y 'all closed? It 's 6:20 to which she replied we ran out of food . A woman pulled up and stated they 've been running out of food a lot lately .. how?! How?? Why advertise specials only to run out of food? I 'm done. They received the second star simply because the food was good the one time I had it. However, I have no time to drive across town to be turned away. Never again. There are too many other good seafood restaurants in Birmingham to deal with this.

This place is really good! They're quick and accept call in orders. I've never actually dined in. Their food is well seasoned and delicious! I always get the crabs and sausage. The sausage is my favorite in town. This place is a must try if you love seafood like I do!

This was my first time visiting after hearing all the buzz! I ordered the shrimp plate and added a snow crab cluster. The dish came with 10 shrimp, 2 potatoes, and 2 corn on the cob. I didn't plan well, as I had other stops to make and couldn't eat it while it was hot. However, even after warming it up, it was delicious! The seasoning was just right. I particularly loved the potatoes and the snow crab! I also tried the gumbo, which was pretty good, though there was a bit too much rice that soaked up all the broth. It did have generous portions of shrimp and sausage, which I really enjoyed. If I'm ever in the area again and craving seafood, I'll definitely stop by Magic City Krabs. Next time, I’ll make sure to savor it while it's still fresh and hot!
