Smothered and covered ... in money.

Actor and New Kids on the Block member Donnie Wahlberg left a big impression on the staff at a Waffle House in Charlotte.

Wahlberg stopped for a bite to eat at the restaurant on Queen City Drive ahead of Thursday's stop on the TOTAL PACKAGE TOUR.

While he was waiting for his food, he broadcasted to Facebook Live and introduced his social media audience to the staff, his crew and other customers.

Before leaving, he paid his $82.60 check and left a $2,000 tip.
