ABCDarius Rucker made the day of his fellow iHop patrons.
ABC affiliate WCIV reports that over the weekend, the Hootie & the Blowfish frontman and country star footed the bill for the entire iHop restaurant he was dining at in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.
Manager Stephen Vitale said in addition to paying for everyone’s meals, the singer also left a “generous” tip for the servers.
“It was a full restaurant. There were a lot of people. I added it up and he paid,” Vitale explains to WMBF News.
Though Rucker was wearing a mask, some of the fellow diner-goers who recognized him thanked him for the act of kindness. “It caused a lot of excitement,” Stephen adds. “It was a good morning at IHOP.”
Apparently, the South Carolina native dines monthly at that location.
