    Tenders in Cajun honey butter and Mac and cheese
    Lace F.

    Dear god, just go! Marketplace mall may be a sleepy ghost town but it seems to be the jump pad for excellence in our area, first churning out Natabelles bakery (also just go) and now it is home to top tier eatery, a FANTASTIC little soul food hookup. My goodness are they doing it right- top tier is the appropriate name for them. Get the tenders- enormous and in your choice of a huge array of sauces. We got the Cajun honey butter and it was perfection. We had the Mac and cheese (perfection) as our side and got their much acclaimed strawberry lemonade which was also.. top tier. Their Philly cheesesteak eggrolls were not the standouts to me- too small and minimally filled, lacking pepper and onion flavor which would've make it more Philly cheesesteak to me. BUT don't let that stop you- get out here and try this new spot.

    Cheese Grits

    Top Tier Eatery debuted breakfast this week on door dash. The bagel is huge and comes with tons of chopped steak, sliced onions, scrambled eggs and cheese. It was so good & filling. I only wished the bagel was toasted. And those grits...baby they were creamy & well seasoned. The cheese was the cherry on the top. In their haste to provide prompt service, my hash brown was left off but they immediately offered to make it right. Give them a try & let me know what you think.

    Fried whiting, mac n cheese and collard greens.

    Top Tier has exceeded my expectations. The selection of choices was amazing. The fish was fried just right. The Mac n cheese and collards were delicious as well. Not only was the food great the service was on point. They were all friendly and very knowledgeable of their menu. I'm 2 hours away but will definitely come back and spread the word.

    This is Mac n cheese, potato salad and dark meat chicken.

    I went on a Saturday, and it was really busy. There was someone standing outside the door telling…read moreus that the wait was super long. I stood for a couple of minutes listening to the guy talk to a couple. As soon as they left, some other people came from inside, so the line wasn't short any longer. There were 2-3 people in front of me at that point. There were other people seated and were waiting to be seated or waiting on their food. The people in front of me ordered, and when it was my turn, I did have to wait a few minutes for the lady at the front to get some food and drink orders out. I feel like they were kinda running her a lot. I was able to order, and they were out of yams, so I got double mac. The food is reasonable priced in my opinion. I did have to wait a while for the food. They had some kind of incense burning and it was coming toward my way and I was choking. I realized that's why no one was sitting there lol. I will say the thing that upset me about this experience is that they gave someone else my food. The only reason it was caught is because the lady opened the plate and noticed it wasn't hers. I'm glad she didn't eat anything from the plate, but I was still a little iffy with her opening it either way. I still took it because I couldnt wait another 30-40 min for another plate. The food was good overall.

    Came for the senior banquet this time! What an amazing experience…read more People, both guests and help, amazing. Made all feel welcome. Will be back again. No longer waiting for visitors to bring!

    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.

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.
