The Original J.R. Crickets® opened February 1982 on Spring St in Midtown Atlanta Georgia. In October of 1999, J.R. Crickets Cascade opened in the Cascade Heights neighborhood. Since then, we’ve only gotten bigger and better than ever. You know all about our wings, but don’t forget about our authentic steak & cheese philly, tender bbq pork ribs, juicy burgers, and succulent seafood.
