Other takeaway dishes in his hometown restaurant include vegan spaghetti for $14 and a spaghetti sandwich for $11.
Fans were seen queueing outside the downtown Detroit restaurant hours before its Wednesday opening.
And although Eminem, real name Marshall Mathers, is widely receiving high praise for the pasta dishes the price left a bad taste in mouths of some frugal fans.
Posting to Twitter, one wrote: "$12. For spaghetti in Detroit? Goddam. It better be life-changing."
Another wrote: "$12 for meatballs, are they autographed? No offense Marshall but thanks to Biden no one has $12 to spend on meatballs."
The name Mom's Spaghetti is in a nod to the opening lyrics from one of the rapper's most famous songs “Lose Yourself," from the 2002 blockbuster “8 Mile.”
