DaBaby is now in a long line of celebrities who made the decision to enter the restaurant business. However, DaBaby’s new joint is raising eyebrows over its prices and one reporter says expediency is also lacking.
As pointed out by The Charlotte Observer, DaBaby, real name Jonathan Kirk, opened up his new No Knife Chicken & Waffles this past Sunday (September 6). Photos of the eatery’s menu have made their way online, and fans had some questions over the prices, in particular one big ticket item.
We perused the menu for No Knife Chicken & Waffles ourselves and discovered that its Plain Jane waffle starts at $15, with flavored options such as Birthday Cake, Banana Pudding, Sweet Potato and other southern-inspired choices are listed at $25.
The big jaw dropper, however, was the loaded Southern Cornbread Waffle topped with collard greens, yams, and mac and cheese listed at $45. Protein choices start at $12 for two pieces of fried whiting and the same price for a six-piece chicken entree. There are also mini crab cakes and lobster tail, the latter of which is sold at $40, a market price per the site.
The reporter from the Observer says that he and other attendees waiting three hours to obtain their food from No Knife Chicken & Waffles, and in their observation, the wait wasn’t worth it nor the price.
Another publication, Queen City News, also mentioned the long wait but concluded that the food was good despite the wait. We should also state that the Observer reporter didn’t downplay the quality of the food but had critique laid out over the wait.
On X, reactions to DaBaby’s new No Knife Chicken & Waffles restaurant came in hard and fast. We’ve got them listed out below.
