Johnny's Chicken & Waffles
Johnny's Chicken was originally founded in 2020 in College Park, Georgia, by reality TV star Crystal Renay, her ex-husband and singer Ne-Yo, and Karlie Redd. After their major success in Georgia and Atlanta, Johnny’s has made it to Dallas! It’s in the space where Monica’s and Cedars Social was on Botham Jean Blvd, now with a bunch of booths, tables, high tops, bar seating, and a huge patio out back!
P.S. On the weekends you’ll find live music and the most energetic vibes with the kitchen and bar open until 1am!
THE MENU
As the name suggests, Johnny’s Chicken and Waffles specializes in the iconic Southern brunch staple: Chicken and Waffles, but with a twist! Choose from protein options like whole wings, tenders, and Buffalo wings, paired with buttermilk, pecan, red velvet, or even strawberry waffles! Plus, you can also find Cajun-inspired entrees like Cajun Penne Pasta, catfish and grits, and large salads too!
