Huey Magoo's Opens in Independence, Missouri

Huey Magoo’s, the fast-casual brand known for its bold flavors and handcrafted chicken tenders, is bringing its fan-favorite tenders to Independence with the grand opening of its newest location. The opening marks Huey Magoo’s 93rd restaurant nationwide, further expanding the brand’s commitment to bold flavors, fresh ingredients and made-to-order meals. Every tender starts with the best 3 percent of the chicken, the tenderloin, and is served hand-breaded, 24-hour marinated and grilled or “sauced” and tossed in buffalo, sweet red chili, lemon pepper or garlic parmesan.

The 2,200-square-foot restaurant features a drive-thru, curbside pickup, a pickup window and patio seating, offering guests a variety of convenient ways to enjoy their meals, including dine-in, takeout, catering and online ordering through the Huey Magoo’s mobile app, website and third-party delivery services, including DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub. The location is operated by Midwest Restaurant Group, which brings 10 years of restaurant industry experience and a passion for delivering an exceptional guest experience. It is the group’s first of ten planned Huey Magoo’s restaurants.

“We are thrilled to open our first Huey Magoo’s restaurant and introduce the Independence community to the brand’s premium chicken tenders and welcoming hospitality,” said a Midwest Restaurant Group spokesperson. “Our team looks forward to drawing on its restaurant experience as we grow with Huey Magoo’s and establish a strong presence in the market.”

The menu includes a robust selection of customizable options, including fresh-made salads, sandwiches, wraps and the most popular choice, tender meals. Guests can also enjoy hand-spun chips, freshly prepared coleslaw, banana pudding and house-made specialty dips, including Magoo’s, Spicy Magoo’s and Ranch, showcasing the brand’s commitment to quality and freshness. Six additional signature dips – Buffalo, Honey Mustard, BBQ, Garlic Parmesan, Sweet Red Chili and Bleu Cheese – and a variety of sides are available to customize every meal.

There’s even more to love with the recent launch of the Magoo’s Rewards™ loyalty program**,** where members earn points toward free food with every purchase. New users receive a Buy One Get One Free 10-piece Tender Bites meal with a beverage purchase to redeem within 30 days.
