DaBaby's Chicken and Waffle Prices Spark Outrage

DaBaby's new chicken & waffles shop is causing a stir online ... with customers lamenting the restaurant's high prices after a super busy opening.

No Knife Chicken & Waffles -- the rapper's new spot in Charlotte, North Carolina -- opened Sunday ... and the menu prices immediately sparked debate online.

Ya gotta check it out for yourself ... DaBaby's charging $15 for plain waffles. That's right ... no toppings, no side of chicken -- just a plain waffle.

The most expensive treat on the menu is the $45 Soulfood Cornbread Waffle ... topped with collard greens, candied yams, and mac & cheese.

Again, that's just the waffle and accoutrements ... if you want chicken with that -- or any other waffle -- it'll be an extra $10 for 6 wings.

The Charlotte Observer sent a reporter down to check out the place on the opening. He says he showed up 30 minutes before the opening -- and still needed to wait 3 hours to get his food.

As for whether the food justifies the cost ... the Observer's reporter says he's not convinced -- though he does admit the waffle's delish.

Numerous people online are clowning DaBaby for the high prices ... while others say this is pretty much in line with what dining out costs in big cities these days.
