| - I enjoyed my experience at Mert's. Having a soul food restaurant in Uptown really shows the variety of options. Again, with friends we visited and the place was packed. It's not the largest restaurant, but it has lots of charm. The place had photos all over the wall and some interesting art too. I was mostly taken by the counter of cakes. They had at least 10 on the counter for you to choose from. I picked out the cake I wanted before I ordered my food. I had the fried catfish, black eyed peas, cole slaw and macaroni and cheese. I enjoyed everything except the macaroni and cheese. I also had cornbread, which was great. I had to stop eating it before my food came out or I would have been full. Ok, the best part of it all was the Banana Pudding Cake. Initially, I wanted the Banana Pudding, but they were out, so the next best thing is Banana Pudding Cake. It was highly recommended from our waitress and it didn't disappoint. It's a must try. All the cakes looked delicious. The food is reasonably priced too. The restaurant is in the city, so parking is available in different lots or garages and you can walk. Overall, I enjoyed it!
