DaBaby opens restaurant in Charlotte DaBaby's No Knife Chicken & Waffles faces price debate
Rapper DaBaby, born Jonathan Kirk, has launched a new culinary venture, No Knife Chicken & Waffles, in North Charlotte. The restaurant is an extension of his “Cooking with Kirk” social media series. Following the grand opening on September 6, the establishment drew large crowds and significant attention. While some patrons reported high food quality, the restaurant has faced online debate regarding its pricing and long wait times. Reported menu items include a $15 plain waffle and a $45 Soulfood Cornbread Waffle. Some customers experienced waits of up to three hours to dine. In response to social media criticism regarding costs—including $6 bottled water and the requirement to purchase chicken separately for an additional $10—DaBaby defended the pricing in a radio interview. He stated the menu offers an “elevated dining experience” and argued that ingredients like homemade cornbread and fresh sweet potatoes justify the expense. He remarked, “this is really a $100 waffle!” and suggested that customers seeking more budget-friendly options could visit Waffle House.
