    Meatloaf, Mac and cheese, Green beans
    Jamaica K.

    When I tell you...each and every time I go, I always have some for later! This amazing spot is where everyone needs to come to when they craving soul food! I was STARVING and wanted something hearty and we stopped by here! The service is always amazing and I was the only one there! I wanted the meatloaf, Mac and cheese and green beans and my hubby wanted fried chicken wings, okra, and mac and cheese! EVERYTHING WAS BEYOND AMAZING!!! The chicken wings were cooked to order and it was soooooo good, I'm surprised he shared a wing with me! Even the cornbread tastes like cake! The ambiance was fine, music from the 2000s were playing so I happily waited! Every time we come, it's great comfort food and honestly the best around! I would recommend everyone to go check them out!!!

    Fried Okra

    The fried chicken was well seasoned and the okra, and collards were great with hot sauce! I was super happy with everything I ate. I want to go back to Charlotte!

    Smothered Porkchops Mashed Potatoes Candied Yams and Collard Greens!
    Lekeisha P.

    Very good proportions! Food was seasoned well and had lots of choices. The candied yams were so sweet and good to the last piece. The collard greens make you want more! The smothered pork chops taste like someone's grandmother is back there throwing down!

    I'm so glad my son and I were able to get here while we were in Charlotte. I wish I could give…read moreMert's 100 stars. First off, the place is super cute; great music and incredible vibes. The service was excellent. Now, the food was fire. I ordered the Fried Catfish with Shrimp Creole and honestly, it's the best catfish I've ever eaten in life. Tender, juicy, flavorful, and a delicious crunchy exterior. The Shrimp Creale was excellent as well, incredible seasoning and texture. My son also enjoyed his food, but after tasting my catfish he wished he'd ordered the same thing. We both loved the cornbread as well; it was warm, soft, and the butter just made it even better. I will definitely go back next time I'm in the area.

    While in town for the Chicago Bears game, we decided to dine at Mert's because it was 0.3 miles…read morefrom our hotel & the ratings were fair. We weren't disappointed but not overly impressed either. The restaurant was decorated with a lot of historical photos and memorabilia. Our server, Oyebola was ok at best, and we witnessed him being unnecessarily rude and nasty to an unhoused woman who came into the restaurant. But luckily another patron came to her rescue before we could intervene. The food was hot and freshly prepared, but honestly, it wasn't as tasty as we'd hoped. Soul food is hit or miss, but Mert's was good enough though....we had a meal with protein & veggies.

    Uptown is the location for this really nice upscale soulfood restaurant. Entering the building…read moreyou're engulfed by walls of roses which establishes a great calming ambiance. We got the catfish plates each with 2 large cornmeal battered filets. The fish was hot and the batter was lightly seasoned and tasted really good. I selected collards with my meal and wife got the mac n cheese. The greens were perfectly prepared, but the mac needed a pick me up scoring 3 of 5 stars -- would benefit from specialty cheeses vs what tasted like Velveeta? All of the portion sizes were really good. Next time we will split the meal. Couple of points: 1. I was surprised to see no beer on the menu, just liquor and wine. 2. Pls be aware there is an autogratuity of 20% which was not openly communicated. Our server was great, so not an issue. Great food spot in uptown.

    They have signs that celebrate anniversary and birthday! I loved that…read more The wait for drinks was entirely too long and the spot wasn't crowded for real. Two bars but they operated out of one. No real vegetarian menu. One menu option and some side options for vegetarians. Customer service was ok. Nothing to write home about. Everything just took too long. I would give them another try when I have time to wait. Food options looks delicious but drinks start at $19. Two drinks cost us $45.
