I will come back and write these down for my next trip to Charlotte.

[@coachcarlosjohnson]

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.

[@nevadiva36]

Mama Gee's has delicious authentic Ghanian food!!! I have yet to be disappointed.

[@cindybartholomew8245]

I’m going to plan a trip just to go to all these restaurants ❤❤❤

[@Mr-lt5zu]

Out here in Waxhaw (burb) got my list for date nights with the Mrs. Preciate the shine on the Queen's City.

[@nevadiva36]

Love Waxhaw area. We used to live in Monroe, NC.

[@tonymimi9715]

We're out here in Waxhaw too! Almost 6 years now. I'm definitely going to have to try more of these spots out. I've tried Cuzzo's and it was solid.

[@Mr-lt5zu]

@@tonymimi9715 Went to Cuzzo's last week and had the peach cobbler waffles with jerk chicken. I agree "solid" will have to try more of the menu.

[@Mr-lt5zu]

Sol Delish is rt down the street from Cuzzo's, had the Flounder, seafood mac and cheese and yams. Also very good.

[@jevonpatterson525]

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.

[@deesteve4156]

@@jevonpatterson525 well, give us your top ten, im hungry

[@patm6352]

I’m curious. Since you are from Charlotte, how do you think Simmons’ food was. I think they lasted a few years after Merts’ opened.

[@teehodge2484]

Put me up on game coming from Detroit give me at least 2 joints I gotta hit plz.

[@AK-nj7wj]

@@deesteve4156 Crav'n Caribbean is a legit Caribbean spot! The only cons I can think of is their location which they can't help, and them being so busy which can increase wait times but their food is good! The portions are big too for the money!

[@coachcarlosjohnson]

Are you under the impression that all Italian restaurants are cooked from scratch. Why must we trash our own. Despicable. Or maybe you’re not like us😂

[@charlita25]

Yum Cuzzo's Cusine is great 👍🏽 I have a food vlog on then as well. Ate their last fall 🥬🍗🧇🧇🧇

[@moniquehall3957]

I have only been to one of these restaurants. I now have other Black owned restaurants to try and I can't wait!!!

[@sandrayoung1586]

Saving this videoso when I come to Charlotte looking them all up

[@704DAME]

DO NOT GO to MERTS.. Please... YOU will be disappointed...

[@rhondagoodwin5711]

@@704DAME myself and friends visited on June teeth and the food was really good on that day. Really good!.

[@JN-ye8qo]

I actually watched the DDD merts video before this one and was NOT impressed watching him cook everything. It looks sooo basic. Where's some places you recommend

[@337Brian]

I'm from Louisiana and we love shrimp and grits and fish liver too

[@tnisha7090]

I thank you for this video. You now have a new follower. Keep doing what you’re doing . Visiting soon I now have more options that I was unaware of. God bless you and God bless these business.

[@Deerych]

[@anthonygoodson9934]

Try, “Mr.Charles(uptown) Chicken & fish 413 Dalton Ave Charlotte, NC The food is SO DELICIOUS!!!. The wait staff is SO FRIENDLY!!!! The food comes out FAST & HOT!!! All black owned 👍🏽

[@Onmy_Deck]

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!!!

[@AK-nj7wj]

Mariah's is definitely good.

[@onawafunderburk7721]

I love Uptown Yolk

[@bigbombcam]

I hope to be on this list when they do a part 2 for Charlotte!!

[@patm6352]

Delicious Soul Food

[@Tabby.cat2]

Is Floyd’s still open 👀?

[@leneejohnson]

I'm pretty sure it still is, however, I'm not sure how good it still is tho.

[@missyginn2808]

@@leneejohnson I thought it closed

[@darling_e]

Its closing down.

[@kimberlyc8983]

Are you opposed to pork? I noticed that you didn't REVIEW any dishes made of pork, not even ribs at the bbq spot. You only highlighted fish, chicken and beef.

[@adrienpressey7439]

I KNOW THATS RIGHT. GOTTA HAVE A PORK RIB.

[@artwilson5126]

I'm a non pork eater, however they mentioned pull pork and Ribs at Bobby O's

[@desiree.s]

They talked about pulled pork

[@marcuslacroix-ki9uo]

Soul food in Charlotte overrated 😮 Dont do it here in this city its very bland ☹️☹️

[@nicwill8687]

Nice but at least line the visual porn up with your descriptions!🤷🏾‍♀️

[@thevnsdrkangl]

🤔 did you eat armt any of these places or is this a google/chat gbt project. People that live here like me dont believe you you need more ppl.

[@DdoggHu.G]

[@bobfisher-zd2lt]
