  If you like soul food in a welcome joint, this place is great. Food was hearty and they don’t skimp, so bring a healthy appetite. I enjoyed the chopped BBQ and mashed potatoes while others at our table had a good representation of their menu. Nobody was disappointed. Check it out.

  This place is great. Atmosphere is unique and the food is really flavorful. We will be bringing visitors to this place when they come into town. Fast service, friendly staff.

  Mert’s isn’t necessarily what you’d expect to find in the middle of Uptown, but man the food is excellent! It doesn’t lack that casual southern character that makes you feel at home, especially with all the waitstaff in t shirts and jeans.My girlfriend and I came in for lunch, decided on our orders and were pleasantly surprised when the food arrived in just 2-3 minutes. With nearly all of the food made ahead of time cafeteria style with just a quick sear needed to finish off some items and no finishing touches for most others, you might worry that the quality suffers but it did not in our experience! I ordered the salmon cakes with collards and mac & cheese and she got the chopped bbq with green beans and mac & cheese. The salmon cakes were amazing.. no other way to describe it, just order them! The remoulade on the side makes them even better too. The chopped bbq was very good as well. For the sides, the collards and green beans were both tasty choices but the mac & cheese stole the show. So gooey and cheesy, classic baked macaroni & cheese like mom/grandma used to make. The cornbread was good but nothing special. I would have guessed that the salmon patties or mac were what Mert’s was famous for rather than the cornbread tbh.Overall, the food was fairly inexpensive and came out very quickly, but the taste was amazing and the portions were very large. Add on the fact that the waiters were friendly and that’s about all I ask for in a restaurant experience!

  This is the second time that I have been to Mert’s. Both times food was prepared excellent. I had wings first time, the seasoning was just right. Second time had catfish, it was good as well. Atmosphere is also great. I will definitely done here again in the future.

  The fried chicken was awesome. I also had the mac and cheese as well as the black eyed peas, both were very good. They serve you a huge hunk of cornbread with your meal and it was good as well. Next time I will make sure to save room for dessert. They have a bar full of cakes that look very good.

  Had breakfast once and it took 35 minutes. I was disgusted but said maybe because it was busy that’s why they were slow and our food was cold. Tried again, this time lunch and it was worse. Everything had a strong vinegar taste. No flavor and again our food was cold. They bought me my side dish and 15 min later they bought my food. They had to reheat my side again. We will never go back there. They no nothing about southern cooking or hospitality for that matter

  The food was fine, I had the Salomon cakes with yams and mac and cheese, the corn bread tasted better than 2 other soul food places I have visited recently, the cashier at the door listed the deserts out to me soo fast that I gave up on adding the non nutrient to my meal because she told me a total before I could follow up with a decision or question, I ate take out
