Mert’s Heart & Soul has been bringing joy & soul food to Uptown Charlotte to our customers in Charlotte For over two decades. We have been honored multiple times as the top soul food restaurant in Charlotte. Some refer to our dishes as Soul Food, while others call it comfort food, but one thing is certain – it is delicious southern cuisine

Since opening in July 1998, Mert’s Heart and Soul has emerged as one of Charlotte’s top restaurants and is frequently acclaimed by restaurant reviewers, Charlotteans, and visitors to the “Queen City.” Mert’s distinguishes itself from traditional soul food restaurants by offering Low Country and Gullah-inspired dishes such as shrimp and grits, Charleston red rice, and award-winning macaroni and cheese.
