One new Atlanta restaurant pulling in some consistent crowds is Krab Queenz Seafood & Daiquiri, which opened in Midtown Atlanta on Friday, August 17, 2019.
I ventured into the restaurant located in the space formerly occupied by Gladys Knight Chicken & Waffles early in the day to beat the crowds, which form every weekend.
Krab Queenz Seafood & Daiquiri Review: Inside the Midtown Atlanta Restaurant
They’ve done a great job with renovating the place, which has an interior full of wooden tables, chairs and decor reminiscent of a college sports bar. But there’s no need to have plush furniture when you’re dealing with juicy crabs and delectable seafood: Things can get quite messy.
One of the first things you need to know about eating at Krab Queenz ATL is that you have to pay in advance. Not only does this save you time rather than waiting on the server to return with the bill after the meal, but this ensures a measure of quality control for the establishment.
In other words: Krab Queenz is making sure that everybody’s getting paid and they won’t chance the alternative.
My server was especially helpful: Advising me on getting the wet fries rather than the dry ones. I asked him what his favorite dish was and he immediately listed several of them that he enjoyed.
For fries, the restaurant offers three varieties: Original, Cajun and Lemon Pepper. For the latter, you have the option of getting them wet or dry.You can also pair your seafood with waffles. So, you can get Lobster & Waffles, Gator & Waffles and other combos.I tried the Gator Basket, which comes with a side of Cajun Ramoulade sauce and fries. The gator came in huge chunks and was delicious.Keeping with the Louisiana theme, Krab Queenz offers daiquiris, a New Orleans specialty. In the back of the restaurant, there’s a whole daiquiri bar that serves the frozen drinks.But here’s the best part: Krab Queenz sells seafood by the pound. If you want to pick up some crab and bring it to your home for a small food gathering, you can do that.After a hearty meal, I can see why this place has two other locations (Los Angeles and Houston). The food is the bomb, the staff is flawlessly attentive and Krab Queenz is offering one of the most popular cuisines in America: Louisiana seafood. I’ll be back.Where Is Krab Queenz Located In Atlanta?
Krab Queenz Seafood & Daiquiris is located at 529 Peachtree St. NE Atlanta, GA. 30308. Here’s a map to help you find it.Atlanta is having a restaurant renaissance.
