We were visiting from San Diego and only in town for one day. Someone recommended Mert's for some good soul food.  Exactly what we were looking for!  The fried green tomatoes and the corn bread were absolutely amazing, I'm still craving them.  Our servers name was Jeremy and he made our experience even better.  We asked him to pick us out some of his favorites, and we were in soul food heaven.  If we ever make it back to Charlotte, Mert's will be our first stop!
