New Kids on the Block’s Donnie Wahlberg got the royal treatment at Waffle House. So he decided to return the favor.

“My mom waited tables, and my dad tended bars– for years!” the Blue Bloods star wrote on Facebook. “So, when I walk into a #WaffleHouse, and the staff treats me like a king, you better believe I treat them like queens! Thanks to the team at @wafflehouseofficial Charlotte, NC! ❤️”

Donnie and Waffle House have a long history together. Find more details here.
