DaBaby says customers who aren’t happy with the prices at his Southern comfort food restaurant can always head to Waffle House instead.
The rapper’s restaurant, No Knife Chicken & Waffles, opened in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Sunday (Sept. 6).
Critics and online skeptics have questioned the prices of several menu items, particularly the $45 “soul food” waffle topped with collard greens, candied yams, and mac and cheese—but no chicken.
On Wednesday (Sept. 9), the “Pop Dat Thang” artist appeared on local station WJZY and had a message for anyone who thinks his food is too expensive.
“They shoulda went to Waffle House. Waffle House has something for you,” he joked, while describing No Knife as an “elevated dining experience.”
“This isn’t just flour and water,” he said.
The restaurant’s specialty offerings include a peach cobbler waffle and a sweet potato waffle, while even the plain waffle with honey butter glaze costs $15. DaBaby says the concepts come from him, while crediting the head chef for bringing them to life.
“Every single item on the menu comes right from this big head,” he explained.
