Seafood restaurant coming to Central Park

A seafood restaurant with 24 locations in the United States and more than 20 additional ones in the works plans to open this fall in Fredericksburg’s Central Park shopping center.

Red Crab Juicy Seafood will take over the restaurant space formerly occupied by Smokey Bones at 1801 Carl D. Silver Parkway. The restaurant is shooting for an October or November opening.

The restaurant has a location in Hampton and one planned in Danville.

Red Crab Juicy Seafood opened its original location in Florida more than five years ago “with the mission to offer tasty seafood in a friendly, casual, and fun atmosphere,” according to its website. The menu features an array of seafood including blue crabs, lobster tail, crab legs, shrimp, crawfish, clams and mussels.

We can’t wait to welcome Red Crab Juicy Seafood to the ‘Burg!
