Eminem surprised fans as he served customers at his newly-opened restaurant Mom’s Spaghetti.

The diner’s name is inspired by the rapper’s lyric from his hit song “Lose Yourself”, which featured on the soundtrack to his 2002 film 8 Mile.

The lyrics read: “His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, there’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti.”

Mom’s Spaghetti, which opened its doors on Wednesday (29 September), is based in Detroit, where the rapper is originally from.

Eminem – real name Marshall Mathers – was spotted serving food from the window of the diner to customers who were shocked to see the rapper.

Fans have shared their excitement at the moment on social media. One user wrote: “Idc what you think of Eminem. This is legendary.”

Another added: “Eminem taking food orders from his fans is the cutest thing ever.”

As per its name, the diner specialises in spaghetti and meatballs.

The Grammy winner previously brought his brand to festival-goers at Coachella in 2018.

Eminem will next star as “White Boy Rick” in 50 Cent’s forthcoming drama series, titled BMF: Black Mafia Family, which is set to be released next month.
