Where do I start.... great food selection, great flavor, and great staff. This place has the best mac and cheese around! The fried chicken is juicy and flavorful. I usually get the smothered pork chop or beef ribs (back). They offer great desserts like grandma's banana pudding (the real stuff and not that crap made from Jello pudding). I will return again and again. Best place this close to uptown - Merts just has a great location.
