text: So it took three trips but I think I'm finally starting to become a fan of Merts.\n\nMy first visit was to pick up some catering for an event and I didn't get a chance to try anything. The second visit was a bust I ordered the chicken wings, cabbage and seasoned rice. Meh, I've had better everything. The chicken wings were just okay, and the cabbage and rice didn't have enough seasoning for my tastes. \n\nBut this last visit was much better. \n\n\nWe started with the Soul Rolls which come stuffed with chicken, rice, greens and black eye peas. They come topped with a spicy honey mustard sauce and were very good. They were crispy and packed with the filling. I'd recommend them. They also bring out some cornbread and that was definitely a highlight for me! It was warm and with some butter....it practically melts in your mouth. \n\nFor my meal I had the pork chops, macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes. I was impressed with the amount of food you get! Two juicy and well seasoned (yay!) pork chops blackened with delicious seasoning. Very good. For me, the sides were just okay again. I'm not sure what to get that will give me that \"amazing\" feel but I guess I'll keep trying....\n\nI couldn't leave without trying some dessert so I ordered the strawberry cake. It was very very moist and delicious. \n\nSo overall a much better visit this go round...I'll make my way back and give this place another try to see if they can officially win me over.
