An Atlanta native and one of the hottest rappers in the game — Lil Baby — has just opened a seafood restaurant in Atlanta near downtown. The eatery, The Seafood Menu Restaurant & Lounge, held a grand opening at 2 p.m. on Friday, July 14, 2023.
The Seafood Menu joins several other celebrity-owned restaurants in Atlanta, which has a burgeoning dining scene.
Rapper Lil Baby Opens Restaurant In Southwest Atlanta
Lil Baby, real name, Dominique Armani Jones, went public back in 2021 about his plans to own a food spot in his hometown.
“I have a new restaurant and I’ma open it in Atlanta,” he said during an XXL interview back then. “It was supposed to be open by January, but we had to finish the stages, so maybe, February, March.”
Fast forward to summer 2023 and Lil Baby is a restaurateur.
“Restaurants are one of the few businesses that have lasted for 50 years, standing strong even through the challenges of the pandemic,” Lil Baby said in a written statement. “I believe in the power of endurance.”
What’s On The Menu At The Seafood Menu?
According to a press release, the restaurant will specialize in affordable seafood dishes like shrimp, salmon paired with delectable sauces and appetizers. The restaurant will also have Caribbean Jerk, one of the owner’s favorite cuisines.
The restaurant’s interior design was done by Jasmine Smith, who worked with Lil Baby and business partner Chad Dillon (The Boiler Room), to decorate the place.
“When they showed me the location, I saw that it was in the heart of Atlanta,” Smith told Essence. “I first came to them for any info that they had, and Baby and Chad pretty much agreed that they wanted something that was for our culture.”
“They wanted to do something that involved a hip hop type of feel, but also keep it Atlanta,” she told the publication. “That’s how I came up with the wall design. I took Baby’s favorite R&B and hip hop artists, along with Atlanta’ monumental establishments like the Braves’ stadium and The Varsity, and other places he visited growing up. So, I wanted the interior to feel like home. I wanted it to feel like Atlanta.”
Where Is The Seafood Menu Located In Atlanta?
The Seafood Restaurant is located at 880 MLK Jr Dr SW, Atlanta, GA 30314 just down the street from the Atlanta University Center. Here’s a map to help you find it.

The ongoing writers strike and looming actors strike may have grave consequences for some of the tentpole franchises in cinema, including those produced by Marvel Studios.
That means that Atlanta, Georgia — a favorite production site for Marvel — stands to suffer a major blow if things continue to worsen between Hollywood crews, talent and executives.
Report: Disney May Slow Down On Marvel Productions
Disney CEO Bob Iger told CNBC that the company is in the midst of several cost-cutting measures to its animation business and movie productions including Lucasfilm and Marvel.
“You pull back not just to focus, but also as part of our cost containment initiative. Spending less on what we make, and making less,” Iger told the publication. The company has been making decisions to make its streaming service, Disney+, compete against Netflix and more.
When talking about making tough decisions for Disney, Iger said he appreciated that Marvel’s content has worked so well for its TV business, but he’s not sure how long it can last.
“Marvel is a great example of that. It had not been in the television business at any significant level, and not only did they increase their movie output, but they ended up making a number of TV series,” said Iger. “Frankly, it diluted focus and attention.”

It’s time to “Eat Mor Chikin,” in the words of a famous Atlanta restaurant. The new Chick-fil-A on Ponce de Leon Avenue and Boulevard is set to open this week!
Construction began late last year at the busy intersection in Midtown Atlanta. The new Chick-fil-A’s address is 689 Boulevard NE & 513 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30308.
When Is The Chick-fil-A On Ponce Opening?
Photo credit: AtlantaFi.com The Chick-fil-A on Ponce and Boulevard is opening on Thursday, June 15, 2023.
Because of the restaurant’s delicious chicken sandwiches and more, you might not want to wait that long. If you want to know where a Chick-Fil-A is near you, here are some Chick-Fil-A restaurants in Atlanta.
Chick-Fil-A is the brainchild of Atlanta businessman and entrepreneur S. Truett Cathy, who opened a small eatery called the Dwarf Grille in Hapeville, Georgia back in 1946.
Since then millions have become loyal fans of the restaurant known for the bad-spelling cows singing how to “Eat More Chiken.”
See our map that shows other Chick fil As are around Atlanta.
