Eugene's Hot Chicken

Downtown · Birmingham

Also listed in: Over 50 Birmingham Sports & Game Day Birmingham

Eugene's started as a food truck and still runs one around the city, with its sit-down room in the Uptown entertainment district by the BJCC. Bham Now's January 2026 Black-owned list names founder Zebbie Carney and the hot chicken, collards, fried okra and cornbread. The brief counts Eugene's among Birmingham-born groups; a second room in Hoover is out of scope.
