Huey Magoo’s Gainesville is the 33rd restaurant opening system-wide spanning seven states, with over 225 franchises currently sold in 10 states. The 2,250 square foot in-line Gainesville restaurant features an 800 square foot outdoor patio.

Huey Magoo’s Gainesville will offer dine-in/out, take-out and delivery through third-party delivery services DoorDash and Uber Eats.
“We are very excited to finally open our first Huey Magoo’s and serve the people of Gainesville and specifically the students of the University of Florida,” says Chad and Doreen Smith. “Our first restaurant is in the perfect location to serve students during the school day and into the evening.” Howard continues, “As a UF alumni myself, it’s extremely thrilling for the brand to open a location in ‘Gator Nation’. Huey Magoo’s is famous for feeding the hungry students of the University of Central Florida with our popular location in the Student Union, and now we look forward to treating the whole Gator community to the one-and-only ‘Filet Mignon Of Chicken’.”
