Mert's Heart And Soul

If Google had more than five stars, Mert’s Heart and Soul in Charlotte, NC would definitely get them. EVERYTHING we had was absolutely delicious. We tried the fried chicken, fried pork chops, collard greens, mac & cheese, and cornbread, and every single dish was fantastic. But my personal favorite had to be the yams — they were incredible. This place truly lives up to the hype. Amazing food, full of flavor, and we cannot wait to go back!

The go to place to sit in the cool air conditioning for some southern comfort dishes in the business district. Most of the delectable food is available for take out. The staff greets everyone warmly and even delivery folks stay a beat to return the gesture. The service was attentive (without smothering) unlike the pork chop special with three sides for under $15! Daris moved around the restaurant with water, the menu specials memorized and excellent recommendations. The kitchen turns out these slow cooked home styled favorites quickly. An impressive row of cakes sit under glass domes along the counter. Pictures of famous guests, and the Merts "family" cover the walls as part of the homey vibe. Friendly and informal. Great value and even better taste. It's wonderful that this business survived the pandemic to keep providing much needed hospitality.

We came in looking for delicious soul food and boy did we find it. Salmon cakes were incredible as were my shrimp and grits! The catfish was light and flaky and absolutely delicious. Service was quick and kind even though the place was pretty busy at 4 pm and the place is just so cool! Hard to pick a favorite photo or playbill all over the walls!

Walk in it’s hot. Server working too many tables to tend to anybody properly. Food was absolutely trash!!!! Greens big and crunchy, chicken tenders soggy and mushy( can’t even eat it) let alone feed to my one year old with me. Yams look old dry and black and disappointed and most of all disgusting!!! Beef ribs tough and undercooked. Can’t even get to the meat. Cornbread and tea was the best thing here. Mac and cheese was edible . Will not be back. Paid to park and go eat is a waste. Not to mention we came over an hour and traffic to get to this establishment

Okay. We did the tour of Charlotte on the golf cart and thos was one of the plces that was recommended. We were not dissappointed. The food is very good, we had the fried chicken, beef short ribs, mac and cheese, greens, yams, okra and tomatoes, and cornbread. All cooked to perfection!! The service was very friendly, and the atmosphere was very inviting. If you are in Charlotte and love Southern comfort and Soul Food Go Here!! You will enjoy it!!
