| - Mert's was recommended to us by both visitors to Charlotte and a resident of Charlotte. It felt like a low-key, local spot, which I love. We ordered the fried tomatoes and soul rolls for the appetizers, but they messed up our order and gave us the soul sampler instead. That included a soul roll, corn bread, ribs, and chicken. The tomatoes were good in my opinion but my friend said he'd had better (he lived in Atlanta for several years). For dinner I had the fried catfish and chicken leg quarter, with the mac & cheese and cole slaw on the side. I did not like the cole slaw at all...I think it had pickles in it and that threw off the taste for me. Mac and cheese=awesome. The chicken and catfish were both average...tasty but nothing I would HAVE to return for. We were SO full after it all, but still ordered some cake to go. They have several cake options, including lemon, orange, strawberry, and sweet potato. I went with the sweet potato with cream cheese frosting. Very tasty but not much different than carrot cake minus the raisins & nuts.
Our server was such a sweetheart so that made the experience 4 stars for me!
