New Restaurant to Open at Crossgates Mall

Later this year, while you’re walking through Crossgates Mall getting hungry, you’ll have a new food option to choose from.

Crossgates Mall has announced that coming later this year is Aloha Krab. The Cajun seafood restaurant chain already has four restaurant locations across three states including Maryland (Fredrick), New Jersey (Watchung), and New York (Saint Albans and Jamaica). Crossgates is among 18 new Aloha Krab restaurant locations that are planning to open in 2021 throughout New York and New Jersey.

According to the press release, “Aloha Krab’s Cajun seafood boil offers unique and modern cuisine, serving several seafood favorites and authentic dishes including crab, lobster, shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels and crawfish. Each catch is seasoned with a choice of spice levels that includes Juicy Cajun, Garlic Butter, Old Bay, Lemon Pepper and Aloha Special. Their menu also includes an assortment of modern cuisine items such as Po Boy sandwiches, fried calamari, chicken wings, onions rings, fries, hush puppies and fried rice.”

It will be opening in the old Melting Pot space, just below the food court.
