MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WAKA) – The Wharf seafood chain has closed its location on Atlanta Highway at Perry Hill Road in Midtown Montgomery.

The Montgomery-based restaurant chain posted a sign on the window saying, “As part of our continued growth and evolution, Wharf Casual Seafood is transitioning to standalone freestanding restaurant locations, as we have done with other restaurants in our brand family.”

The Wharf had been part of a popular strip mall that was constructed on the property of the former Head Elementary School, which was torn down in 2015. This location of The Wharf had been open for ten years.

The chain has nine other locations, including at EastChase in Montgomery, Wetumpka and Alexander City in our area. A Clanton location is coming soon.
