Expansion across South Carolina
As part of its expansion across South Carolina, the franchise group has opened its first Huey Magoo’s restaurant in Charleston.
This marks the chain’s 41st restaurant nationwide, with a further seven planned across the Lowcountry and Midlands regions. The first restaurant to open in South Carolina was in Greenville.
Ways to order

Orders can also be placed at a dedicated collection window and picked up kerbside while waiting in the car.
What sets Huey Magoo’s apart
The core idea behind Huey Magoo’s is putting chicken tenders centre stage. They’re made using fillet – the prime cut of chicken breast, widely regarded as the most tender part of the bird. The chicken is prepared in a few different ways:
- grilled
- in a crispy coating
- finished with a signature sauce
Huey Magoo’s differs considerably from the standard fast-food format. The emphasis here isn’t just on speed of service but equally on the quality of the ingredients that go into every dish.
A handy spot for a quick lunch or a family dinner
The North Charleston restaurant is a standalone building covering 2,800 square feet. Guests can choose whatever suits them best depending on the weather and season – sitting inside, taking a seat outdoors, or opting for the drive-thru for anyone picking up an order on the way past by car.
The location is a convenient one, close to Tanger Outlets Charleston, which means it draws in both locals and tourists looking to refuel before or after a wander round the area.
The restaurant caters to guests of all ages, with menu options for adults and children alike. Thanks to its familiar, easy-going format, it’s already being described as a handy choice for a family outing.
What to try
Anyone visiting Huey Magoo’s for the first time should be sure to try the brand’s signature dishes:
- Chicken Tenders Meal – the standard combo of chicken tenders plus a side
- Sauced Tenders – chicken tenders with a choice of signature sauce
- Magoo’s Sandwich – a chicken sandwich
- Chicken Wraps – a great option for anyone after something a bit lighter
- a range of salads with fresh vegetables and chicken fillet
As for sauces, most first-time visitors tend to go for the signature Magoo’s sauce, while fans of spicy food might want to try the Spicy Magoo’s or Buffalo.
A new spot for Lowcountry residents
The opening of Huey Magoo’s in North Charleston marks a confident step in the chain’s expansion across South Carolina. This restaurant is described as the first of several planned openings for the brand across the Greater Charleston and Columbia areas.
Huey Magoo’s looks well placed to carve out a spot among the area’s most popular places to eat, thanks to a combination of clear advantages: quick service, a wide choice of sauces, and a sharp focus on a single standout product. For anyone keen to try something new, the restaurant makes for another worthwhile stop on a food tour of North Charleston.
