Leave it to my Yelp family to send me to the best spots when I'm traveling. I came to Charlotte for a conference and decided to check Mert's out with a bunch of my colleagues. In short, we loved it!
Cornbread: I've never been a huge cornbread fan, but this cornbread had me wanting more and more! It was soooooooo hot and delicious!
Jumbo wings: You get three with the meal. Fried perfectly. Delicious. Delicious. Delicious.
Mac & Cheese: I can't seem to find decent mac & cheese out west so I wait until I come back East to get my fix. This mac & cheese was all things perfect! Two thumbs up.
Collard greens: This was my least favorite dish. While I appreciated that they weren't overlooked, they were really vinegary. I wasn't a fan.
Sweet potato cake: I had never heard of such a delicacy. I figured since I love sweet potatoes and I'm a fan of cake, this would hit the spot! I think it needed more butter though as it was really dry.
Overall, a must visit place when you're in Charlotte!
