Great food, great experience - as an out of town traveler who doesn't like to eat fast food every single day, finding Mert's was a pleasure. Keeping prices down and providing a great experience is hard at any restaurant but Mert's doesn't skimp when it comes to down home food. The tables are basic and the look and feel are simple, but this shouldn't stop you from enjoying yourself thoroughly - beginning with their tasty fresh cornbread and continuing into barbeque whether it's ribs or pulled pork. Although this place is in North Carolina, I was happily surprised by a sauce that didn't overpower with vinegar. On the whole, I was very happy with Mert's and will definitely go again!
