    This is exactly what I needed. This is exactly what Charlotte needed. His place is growing too fast to be so boring on the weekends. We need this and more of it. Now what I need is a list of jazz places where I can hear some good soulful, jazz.

    Mert's Heart & Soul is my favorite soul food restaurant. Not just in Charlote but period. Owner/Chef James is the nicest most welcoming host who would come out of the kitchen and let me try a sample of what he was working on while I waited for my order. The food is ALWAYS delicious, and it's located in the heart of uptown Charlotte on College St. I highly recommend Mert's Heart & Soul.

    I'm born and raised in Charlotte and these places are very overrated. Merts macaroni and cheese is trash. Cuzzos Lobster and mac is imitation lobster! Many of these places are playing it very safe. Store bought deserts and can foods! Many are not true southern foods.

    Mertz and Cuzzo do not go unless you have tough skin attitudes if you say anything about the food needs to be remade or is not right or just doesn’t taste right bad customer service. Mariah’s Taco Truck, Oxtail tacos and wings like you’ve never had & Black owned food truck! You betta try Mariah, they are the best!!!Bobbie O’s is a yes!!!
