PHOENIX — Singer-songwriter Ne-Yo announced on Tuesday that Johnny’s Chicken & Waffles will open in the West Valley at the end of the month.

The 6,500-square-foot restaurant, created by Ne-Yo and chef Crystal Smith, will be located in Westgate Entertainment District and is set to open March 31, according to a press release.

It will have the ability to seat 150 customers indoors and outdoors and will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with takeout and delivery options available.

Late-night services will be offered until 3 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays, while guests can expect a live DJ during brunch on Sundays.

There will be 15 platinum albums from musicians who were born in Atlanta across the walls of the restaurant, along with a neon sign that reads “Everyday I’m Waffle’n.”

“We look forward to brining a taste of Atlanta to Arizona and sharing both our love for chicken and waffles and music with guests,” Ne-Y said in the release.

“Johnny’s Chicken & Waffles original location has been a huge hit and we believe it will become a new favorite dining destination at Westgate as well.”

The Arizona opening will mark the second location in the United States, following the debut in Atlanta.

We want to hear from you.
