Are you a fan of chicken & waffles? Of course you are! Atlanta celebrities Ne-Yo and wife, Chef Crystal Smith, along with reality TV star Karlie Redd have teamed up to open a new restaurant in College Park: Johnny’s Chicken & Waffles.
The eatery opened its doors in December 2020, creating yet another food destination along College Park’s Main Street corridor.
Johnny’s Chicken & Waffles serves breakfast around the clock. The 85-seat eatery will close between 3 to 4 p.m. each day, but will be open throughout the night and day.
“Ne-Yo and I aim to make everyone feel at home at Johnny’s Chicken & Waffles, and you never know who you’ll see dining alongside you,” Johnny’s Chicken & Waffle co-partner Karlie Redd says in a statement.
The eatery is also a vehicle for Smith, who is an accomplished celebrity chef.
The restaurant, which is currently hiring, features a takeout counter, booths, tables, high tops and bar seating.
