Former Panthers player’s Charlotte restaurant closes its doors after 5 years
A Charlotte restaurant known for serving seafood boils with a twist is no longer open.
After nearly five years in business, Former Carolina Panthers player Marcus Lucas’ Krustaceans Seafood has “closed its doors for the final time.”
‘Farewell Charlotte’
“We cannot express enough gratitude for your support, loyalty, and the countless memories we’ve shared over the years. It has been an incredible honor to serve you, and we will always treasure the connections we’ve made along the way,” the team said in an announcement on Instagram.
“Thank you for being an unforgettable part of our journey. Your smiles, stories, and laughter have truly meant the world to us.”
The former tight end added the Lowcountry seafood spot to Charlotte’s food scene in 2020 after discovering a similar restaurant in his hometown in Kansas City, CharlotteFive previously reported.
After a delayed opening at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Krustaceans Seafood made its debut in Southwest Charlotte with boiled and fried seafood platters of crab, shrimp, lobster and more.
CharlotteFive has reached out to the Krustaceans Seafood to learn more about why the decision was made to close and if there are plans to reopen another location or concept.
