Atlanta Restaurants To Visit
Gladys Knight Chicken and Waffles
Address: Closed For Business
** I am So Sorry to announce this Famous Atlanta Eatery has closed its doors for business!!! I'm sure you have heard in the news about the disagreement between Ms. Galday Knight and her son Mr. Shanga Hankerson. This fall out has caused the restaurant to remove Glady Knight's name. The restaurant has been shut down by the Department of Revenue. If the restaurant will reopen it will be doing business under the name "World Famous Chicken and Waffles". I will keep you posted as I see the story unfold in the news.
I have visited this restaurant plenty of times through the years and I would just like to say to Gladys Knight's Chicken and Waffles Thank you for all the Good Food and all the Good Memories.
