I’m from Jersey, moved to Charlotte 4 years ago. Nana’s was the very first soul food I’ve tried in Charlotte, and it was absolutely disgusting. Anyone who voted it number 1 cannot cook, and neither can their family. It’s gross and I’d never go back.
I live in Charlotte now. If you want good soul food go to Floyd’s or Sunset Soul Food. That’s the best in town. These places are run by good ol’ country people.
Sorrowfully I have eaten at Nana and had a terrible experience. I had the fried chicken that was hard and the smothered pork chop that had no taste with the gravy. Mr. Time was definitely right about the greens they were to strong and the rice with no favor. Truly I spend a small fortune to receive a tasteless meal. My overall rate for Nana on that day was a FOUR.
I 💯 agree with your pork chop/Gravy analysis. The flavor of any good gravy should come from the meat drippings, butter, onions/garlic, flour & water. That's how you make gramas gravy.
I remember eating there and literally crying, like being hungry and getting nasty food is an experience from HELL😂😂😂😂it tasted how I imagine senior living facility food to be.
Before I stopped eating pork.. I use to get the fried pork chop plate with yams, macaroni and green beans !!! A HIT!!! Lol it definitely matters who cooking that day 😅
I believe you did catch them on a bad day, I eat there several times a month, mostly on Sundays and it's always really good for me, however, I dont know about the #1 rating. You were spot on about the staff, chicken & collard greens. I pray they see this and change a few things.
Her and her family no longer owns it. They sold it to some Hispanics, but they kept some of the employees and they still use her brand name and you’re absolutely right. The food is not the same we went to months ago and the food was horrible.🤷♀️
The Hispanics should have just changed it to Mexican food. Soul food needs to be cooked by black folks. Yeah I'm white but I grew up in a mixed neighborhood and when I went to my boys family picnics the Brothas can cook
@@jedsteelwell2354 The Hispanics that own it aren't Mexican though. I agree they should've changed it to a Hispanic type of food, but they should change it to the type of Hispanic food from their country of origin. Not just a random Hispanic food from a country they're not from lol.
Midnight diner is not a soul food restaurant 😂😂😂us locals be mind blown by all the out of town people who move here who act like it’s superb. They are a upgrade Waffle House
When you and friends visit again...try Original Chicken 🐔 😋 and Ribs or Angie's Diner...you want go wrong....both restaurants are black ⚫️ owned...the two restaurants are a hidden GEM 💎.
I live here. I never went here Thank you for this review. I don’t believe the hype. The best soul food is from your table. People get lazy when they open businesses. I’m with the baby 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I really liked the food I actually went last week for the 2nd time. Go for yourself get your own opinion I think you will like it along with the service there💪🏾
Best soul food is from your kitchen juicy inside crunchy out side fried chicken,black eye peas collards corn bread and some old folk home made biscuits,ice tea ew mashed cheesy potatoes,or Mac & cheese woo/wee
Reg.when we were growing up in rural n e nc large family my mama always made a big pot of rice with sugar,butter,milk called it hot cereal rice it is good but I still like other variations now thanks to my mama for making a meal for us all
I’m from North Carolina, we don’t put sugar or butter on our Rice. Usually the Rice is playing. I can’t speak about the chicken, the collard greens or the mac & cheese… I’m looking at the comments and everyone who lives in Charlotte saying that Nanas is pretty nasty, so I guess you could say I’m trying to help them out a little bit. I’ve never had them, but what I will say is my families from North Carolina and we don’t put none on our Rice.
I needed this laugh😂😂😂😂. Your expressions when you like the food, love the food or dislike the food is priceless😂! I love watching your videos, especially when you love the food. 😋
I just ate the best thing I ever put in my mouth. Gumbo over rice, chicken fried to perfection, fried cabbage with sausage, potato salad and a fluffy biscuit. My chosen last meal. 😋
I'm new to u and I hunny I have been binging your reviews and u are by far the best I have come across to me u are very fair and honest and let me tell you when u threw the chicken I cracked up although u didn't like some u gave everything a try and not to Mention u hilarious 😂
Preciate your review LOL, its hard to find all around good soul food in CLT you have to go to multiple places to get a good plate, get the chicken over here, mac and cheese over there, cake from over there 😂
@@mr.chimetime Chicken box cafe use to have some really good food and I saw use to only because I dont live on that side of town so I havent been in a while, not sure if you have add it. It is off sugar creek rd.
May be going to Charlotte soon my sun lives there Im glad Im warned because Im a foodie and would have fell up in there off the strength of the rating hyped but now Ill go with one eye open and seasoning in my bag , thanx for the headz up
I swear I just fell out laughing at him throwing that fried chicken 🤣🤣. I'm recovering from a broken hand and needed that laugh so bad. He cracks me up 🤣❤❤. All love family ❤️
After listening to your whole review, here is my experience. If you go on Wednesday the meatloaf is very good. My husband complained about the chicken being over cooked. The pork chops were ok. The Mac and cheese is a no-no but the greens and cabbage are on point as well as the banana pudding. Once again, price is too high. I could go to a restaurant somewhere else and pay the same price and the food would be much better but I do like to support black owned.
Merts has some of the best food I've eaten in Charlotte I could still smell the restaurant on my clothes when I got back to the hotel and that's a good thing lol
I think your review made a difference because I tried to collard greens for the first time and they were bustin; not bitter at all and had a nice sweet flavor. Before the pandemic this place was very good and during NBA All-Star Weekend the line was out the door and wrapped around the corner. My favorite things to get here are the baked chicken, and the ribs as well as the stuffing and candy yams but when I used to get the macaroni and cheese before Keto it was always delicious thank you for the review.
I moved here from Detroit myself I thought I would come get some good food and a down south booty.... The food is definitely not good cook outs waffle houses soul food instead of selling WHOLE WING is WAT WE call dings they charge arm and leg for chicken 10 pcs of DINGS $12-15, 20 PCS $22-27 LIKE DAMN FOR CHICKEN?????? Then I ask ppl where's the good food they say I'm going to the wrong places.. I feel like every place is the wrong place. I stopped being lazy and cook my food right the way I want it and keep $40 in my pocket everytime from being disappointed 😞
That’s the only soul food I ever had in charlotte. They hooked me slam up, probably bc I went right before closing and was friendly af so they gave me a bunch of extras-versus throwing it out. Anywho, the food wasn’t the best, but I was hungry so ya boy ate. Also, I was low key complaining, in their faces, about how expensive the prices were for a plate lol. All in all I think I’ll spend my money elsewhere
Lol I want some soul food here but don't know where to go when I don't feel like cooking which is rare but I won't be going her, appreciate the honesty
Dang... Left hook, right hook, body slam then even put the restaurant and staff in the cobra clutch. Followed it all up with a... "I'll definitely eat here again and ya'll should eat here too". Huh??? 🤷🏾♂️ Which one is it? Just to support a black owned business should I pull up and order a water with lemon or is the lemon too bitter? I'm just not sure after watching this.
You should have took that plate back to them because that is ridiculous it's not fair you eating foul food and they taking your money to the bank and being satisfied with
Nana's aint been right since she got a last name. When she was just Nana's Soul Food she was bussin but ever since she became Nana Morrison's she been acting brand new and fell off, lol
When you threw the chicken I died 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know and the baby cracking up in the edit made it even funnier
Oh I just lost it!

Georgia number #1 soul Food we got delicious delicious delicious soul
I’m from Jersey, moved to Charlotte 4 years ago. Nana’s was the very first soul food I’ve tried in Charlotte, and it was absolutely disgusting. Anyone who voted it number 1 cannot cook, and neither can their family. It’s gross and I’d never go back.
It's not good
Agreed
Facts and been living here 6 years now.
😂😩 Well Thanks For The Heads Up. Ain’t Nothing Like That Up North Cookin
I live in Charlotte now. If you want good soul food go to Floyd’s or Sunset Soul Food. That’s the best in town. These places are run by good ol’ country people.
He threw that chicken like a no-look Magic Johnson pass😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

For the real Charlotteans… who remembers Simmons?
I'm from Charlotte and how Nanas got voted best soul food is beyond me😏
Lol facts yo
💯💯 the minute I heard nanas 🤣
Easy, I don’t think there are only about 4 soul food restaurants in Charlotte
Hell nah, they trying kill someone 😂
Exactly. Over priced
I grew up in Charlotte, and we didn't go to restaurants for soul food because we got that at home.
Sweetie Pie country,never ate there ,cook better at home
Same here i only went to Chicken Box
That part.... High Point 👉
You never ate at McDonald’s Cafeteria on Beatties Ford Rd?
I 💯 agree with your pork chop/Gravy analysis. The flavor of any good gravy should come from the meat drippings, butter, onions/garlic, flour & water.
That's how you make gramas gravy.
When that damn chicken leg went flying….I was done!!!! Completely done!!!! You are hilarious!! 😂
My daughter said,”did he just try to throw chicken out of a closed window?”😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Lol, yes he did
I remember eating there and literally crying, like being hungry and getting nasty food is an experience from HELL😂😂😂😂it tasted how I imagine senior living facility food to be.

Who puts sugar on rice but throwing that chicken was hilarious
Sugar on rice 🍚 is just grits. 🤔
Butter and sugar on rice is tasty. Especially for breakfast with Salmon croquettes!!
Reg.when we were growing up in rural n e nc large family my mama always made a big pot of rice with sugar,butter,milk called it hot cereal rice it is good but I still like other variations now thanks to my mama for making a meal for us all
Only time I've had sugar on rice is in rice pudding.

You should Taste La’wans’s, or Floyd’s here in Charlotte.
Floyd’s has the best soul food he went to the wrong place
La wans is worse in my opinion 😂😂
DEFINITELY FLOYD’s
@@2kfoeva285 it sure is! Lol
Floyd's Is Delicious! I Like The Meatloaf And Beef Rib Dinners 😋😋😋
Like the brother videos. Keeps is real and honest. Appreciate you, best of luck!
They said it was soul food but that almost broke your spirit and your car window 😆🤣

Na Na Morrison is the truth. I recently moved from Charlotte back to Ohio. I definitely patronized them regularly. Everything was always good.
The way you slung that drumstick!!! lmmaaaooooo

I love watching you when you enjoy the food!! The greens Hell no😂😂
When he said the rice had no sugar, he lost some credibility with me.
And "I just started eating Mac and cheese recently" ...like WHAT?
On God lol he disrespecting all kind of cultures
I love rice with some sugar... try it before you knock it
I eats my rice like that too 🤤☺️
A little sugar in my coffee, yes! Sugar in my rice, grits, collards or cornbread, no-o-o! 👎🏾
Boy you almost kilt me throwing that chicken 😂😢😂 like that I had to pull my truck over smh
Rice isn't supposed to have sugar.

That habachi restaurant in that same complex is 🔥tho 😂
Ion like it
😂😂What did the window do to deserve that😄....I can't with you. I was waiting to hear you say Daddy like.....🤦🏾

You were complaining about food prices to a restaurant that just gave you a bunch of free food. You, at your core, are a cheap bastard.
I screamed from how you throwed that chicken 😂😂😂
Could have saved you that 2 hour drive!
Just wanted to say I enjoy your reviews.
I'm mad you drove here for that. Smh so many people rave about Nana’s and I've always said this place was not it 😂
They don't know what real cooking is
I LOVE SPICY BBQ FRIED 🍤 AND SCALLOPS AND 🍗 AND MAC AND CHEESE AND SWEET MASHED POTATOES WITH MARSHMALLOW AND ROOTBEER TOO MY FRIEND
I've been to that restaurant when I lived in Charlotte. The food was good but WAAAY TOO OVER PRICED.
