Hot N Juicy Crawfish seeks to open second Va. outpost in Centreville

Seafood fans will soon have a new option in Fairfax County: Hot N Juicy Crawfish is preparing to open its second Virginia location in Centreville.

According to county zoning records, the mini chain of Louisiana-style seafood restaurants is renovating the 3,390 square-foot space at 14245H Centreville Square previously occupied by Gaboja II, and Sino’s Inn before that. A “coming soon” sign with the business logo is placed on the windows.

Hot N Juicy Crawfish did not respond to inquiries from FFXnow about the new restaurant, which is located in one of the busiest shopping plazas in the Centreville area.

When it launches, it will join a wide variety of businesses and restaurants in Centreville Square, including Khan’s Supermarket, Paris Baguette, Bon Chon, and Pho Duong.

Launched in 2007 in Las Vegas, Hot N Juicy Crawfish now has 12 locations listed on its website. One of them has been open since 2015 at 116 W. Broad Street in Falls Church. Its menu offers a wide range of seafood, from fried catfish appetizers to lobster tail sold by the pound and its signature crawfish. Its signature seasonings range from mild garlic butter to the extra spicy “Hot N Juicy” sauce.
