Krab Queenz Seafood & Daiquiri opens in Atlanta

Saturday’s grand opening will feature a number of Atlanta celebrities as well as plenty of Louisiana flavor: A second line band ,a parade will be there as well as an appearance by Atlanta rapper Pastor Troy and more.

The restaurant occupies the former space of Gladys Knight Chicken & Waffles.

Gladys Knight’s restaurant used to have long lines snaking down the sidewalk until it closed in 2017 after infighting with her nephew, who ran the Midtown institution.

Now, Krab Queenz is hoping people crowd the restaurant in the same fashion.

Keeping with the Louisiana theme, Krab Queenz will offer daiquiris, a New Orleans specialty.

But here’s the best part: Krab Queenz sells seafood by the pound.

Rogers also has Krab Queenz restaurants in Los Angeles and Houston. On Instagram, the comedian said this: ” I’m so happy that I can FINALLY say something! 3 restaurants in less than 9 months!! Wow! Y’all I think that this is already my favorite location! See y’all August 17th at 1pm.”

Where is Krab Queenz Seafood 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. Hot chicken is the rage in Atlanta’s dining scene right now. But so are chicken and waffles.
