Kitchen at Little Magic

Very disappointed, I used to be a huge fan of VooDoo chicken as I am gluten free and enjoy having delicious options. Upon the kitchen switch the atmosphere and service remained the same, but the food extremely plummeted I ordered fried catfish and tenders. First of all the catfish was mushy almost puré like totally inedible, the tenders were dry and had way too much breading on them. As for our sides we got onion rings and waffle fries, both were extremely undercooked the onion was almost crunchy and the waffle fries were soggy and limp. Definitely not coming back.

Celiacs and gluten sensitives beware!! I experienced the worst glutening of my life at the Kitchen at Little Magic! They claim to take gluten free food very seriously, but I suspect they gave me the full gluten version of the grilled cheese. I don't think it was just a bit of cross contamination. I was puking my guts up all night. I miss Voodoo 😭😭😭. They also left multiple items out of our order initially and my husband had to go back to get them. The taste of the food is only okay.

I hate to say it, but I can’t support the management change and the move from Voodoo to Little Magic. TLDR: As someone with gluten sensitivities, I think the food is now soulless, bland, overpriced, and not worth recommending. I’ll try not to be too verbose. I became intolerant to gluten about 8 months ago, but I was a regular customer at Voodoo for at least 2 years, simply because they had delicious food. My friends without diet restrictions loved it too. It especially was a treat for my mom who has celiac, and has far more sensitivity than I do. I was so willing and open for the management chance, and hoping for the best. I went in with an open mind and was just simply underwhelmed. Before, people came to Little Magic for the bar, and went to Voodoo for the chicken, now (like another review said) we just have gluten free bar food to eat while you’re out. I would say it’s better than nothing, except that the prices increased by about 20% across the board, and for…what reason?? It’s not like the portions are any different. I’m willing to give them another shot and try more menu items once they get their feet fully on the ground, but as it stands I can’t recommend the kitchen at Little Magic. The service was good, but somehow the atmosphere feels… corporate? millennial cheugy in a bad way. “live, laugh, love” if you will. I don’t know the ethnicity of the former ownership, but the food tastes like white people food, and the atmosphere reflects that. I went to Voodoo because it was better than the fried chicken I could make at home, now I don’t think I have a reason to go. The icing on the cake is Little Magic has been able to STEAL the reviews from Voodoo since it’s the same location. Riding off of their success is not cool, they might not have had a choice w Google but either way, any review before this past month is NOT ACCURATE. I hope Voodoo reopens in a new location or comes back.
