The wait is no longer, Gladys Knight's Chicken & Waffles on Cascade is now open and serving to the public. Β The restaurant will open Monday through Thursday from 7:00Β a.m. to 12:00 a.m., Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 a.m., Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. andΒ Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Gladys Knightβs Signature Chicken & Waffles is located at 3752 Cascade Road Suite 100,Β Atlanta, GA 30331.
Established in 1997, Singer-songwriter Gladys Knight and her son Shanga HankersonΒ developed the concept and currently own two locations in Downtown Atlanta and LithoniaΒ at Stonecrest. The third installment of the chicken-and-waffles concept was chosen to be placedΒ in theΒ popular Cascade neighborhood.
βIβm truly looking forward to bringingΒ our newest location to the Cascade neighborhoodβ, Knight says. βOur goal is to continueΒ providing the city with delicious soul food and friendly personal service. We hope guests willΒ make Gladys Knightβs Signature Chicken & Waffles their own dining room as we encourageΒ
everyone to make themselves at home!β
According to Gladys Knight, sheΒ got the inspiration forΒ the poultry-meets-breakfast restaurant from the Wells Supper Club, which was established in theΒ 1930βs. The Wells Supper Club was a Harlem eatery where she and other famous musiciansΒ
frequently visited when in New York City. Today, the inspiration for the concept has resonatedΒ and can be foundΒ everywhere, but nowhere like here on Cascade in Southwest Atlanta.
