About The Juicy Crab
The Juicy Crab story starts long before the opening of the Duluth, Georgia, first corporate restaurant in 2015. The Chen family's inspiration ultimately came from New Orleans and the world travels of Grandfather Chen. Grandfather Chen was a sailor who traveled the world learning many different styles and ways of cooking seafood. One of the main influences that every family member loved, was the New Orleans style of cooking seafood, and we want to share it with you.
We think you will agree that "Juicy Never
Tasted So Good”™. The style and special blend of seasonings will have
you coming back for more! We welcome you to sit at our family table and
will always treat you like a part of our family.
