How locals rank it
From the local food press
- Soul Food
Mert's has served Lowcountry-style cooking in Uptown since 1998. Fried chicken, cornbread and vegetables remain central to the restaurant's appeal, with Southern comfort dishes filling the dining room at its long-running North College Street address.
Picks from The Charlotte Observer
- Southern
Uptown soul-food institution. Lowcountry-influenced shrimp and grits and salmon cakes.
Picks from Charlotte Magazine
- Fried Chicken
An Uptown soul food room at 214 North College Street, open since 1998 and still full before a game. Southern fried chicken shares the menu with shrimp and grits, collards, salmon cakes and cornbread, and it has outlasted most of the Uptown restaurants that opened after it.
