Among numerous local honors, Mert's Heart and Soul has been named Best Southern Country/Soul Food Restaurant by Creative Loafing critics.
From the restaurant's website:
"Located in the heart of uptown
Charlotte, Mert's Heart and Soul is one of the most sought-after dining
destinations in the Queen City. From the award-winning macaroni and
cheese, to the sweet, buttery cornbread, to the shrimp and grits, Mert's
Southern, Low Country and Gullah-inspired favorites leave guests with
an unforgettable, home-cooked experience."
"Soul food, Southern cooking, Low Country cuisine, different people
call it different things, and truth is the menu is a loving mishmash of
all of the above. Fried chicken, salmon cakes, blackened pork chops,
fried catfish, shrimp and grits - this is the delicious stuff of Mert's.
The drop biscuits are heavenly, and the miniloafs of sweet cornbread
remain irresistible. Yams, macaroni and cheese, and greens are perfect
sides - well seasoned, flavorful, and not too greasy."
- Richard Thurmond, Charlotte magazine
Kids' menu. Beer and wine available. Serving lunch Mon-Fri, dinner nightly. Sat-Sun brunch 9 am-3 pm.
