Restaurant overview

About Mert's Heart & Soul

Mert’s Heart & Soul is an Uptown Charlotte restaurant that offers soul and lowcountry food. Dishes such as fried chicken and fish are available along with meatloaf, pork chops, barbecue, seafood, red beans and rice, vegetables, and the popular Soul Rolls.

This is a good choice before an Uptown Charlotte event or for those wishing to have a sit-down meal of soul food without going outside of uptown. The menu offerings are basic and hearty, and many of the sides bring a lot of the flavors.

Those looking for soul food in Charlotte, fried catfish in Uptown, or shrimp and grits in a comfortable environment can expect a full menu and not a selected menu. Mert’s is typically more of a walk-in style restaurant rather than an online reservation restaurant.
