I went to the Epicenter in Uptown Charlotte today for the first time. Looking to have a nice lunch, I was unimpressed with the options within the complex. A quick search on Yelp turned up Mert's. Southern soul food sounded fantastic!
I didn't leave disappointed. We were able to quickly get a table during lunch hour. I thought the service was exceptional, even though one of my items were wrong, but it was handled well.
My favorite part had to be getting a huge piece of corn bread while waiting for the meal. The fried chicken leg quarter I had was definitely top notch. The fried catfish fillet needed more seasoning, but the Cajun tartar sauce made up for that. My sides of mashed potatoes and mac/cheese were alright.
I'd definitely say a 4/5 meal, 5/5 service, and 4/5 prices. Try this place out if you're near the Epicenter, only a 4 minute walk!
