The atmosphere is cool and the service was pleasant but the food was bland. I was hoping for it to be amazing given the buzz. However, I was disappointed.

Visiting from out of town and saw a legit soul restaurant in the downtown area, I knew I had to try it. The greens were balanced and tasty as were all the sides. I recommend the place and supporting the community.

The service, food and atmosphere was outstanding! First off, the waiter was SOOO polite and friendly! He made our time worth while with my grandmother visiting. He gave us all cornbread and my sister a strawberry cake slice even though we didn’t order it because he was so nice! He made a nice menu presentation of the daily specials and favorites! Second, the food ? The food was outstanding and flavorful and hits home base in every way! This food is the very definition of comfort food and soul food! Third, the atmosphere is great! Everyone looks like they love working there. The decorations and even the whole vibe hits every checkmark! This restaurant has even gave me inspiration for my National Art Honors Society fall piece, for the theme of “Soul”. The restaurant hits every satisfaction it could have possibly hit! It’s definitely a great time when we visit!

I recently dined at Mert's after hearing some buzz about the restaurant, and I have to say, it was an interesting experience but ultimately had mixed results in terms of the food.
The restaurant has a cozy and inviting ambiance with warm lighting and rustic decor that made a pleasant dining environment. It was a nice spot to relax with friends for sure.
The service was friendly and attentive. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and checked on us frequently, which I appreciated. They made us feel welcome throughout our visit.
Now onto the food - unfortunately, I found it to just be okay. The fried fish, cabbage, and cornbread were delicious! However, the greens, soul rolls, salmon cakes, and Mac & cheese lacked seasoning.
Overall, I'm glad we visited because I seen it on the cooking channel, but the food didn't quite live up to the expectations.
We had such an amazing time at Merts, there's a level of love in the food that you don't find these days. The staff were extremely friendly, a little quick with some things but friendly none the less. You know the food is good when you can't stop smiling after a meal. We'll definitely be back for more!

This place does not need my endorsement the food speaks for itself. However T was our server and was outstanding. He was kind, on top of everything and knew his menu well. If you are in Charlotte it's a must go.
