I've got to put a plug in for #10 on this list - The United House of Prayer For All People. The cafeteria there has some of the best food you'll get in Charlotte

Go early on Sunday's for the church service and you will see the best Praise Bands in the state.

A "plate" is usually a meat of some kind and two sides (like mac and cheeze and green beans) The desserts there are all home made too - YUM.

A plate of what??

BTW, greens are cooked with smoked turkey or some type of smoked ham. Never heard of chicken livers being used with greens.

I would vouch for Down to the Bone.
Simmons - ok
Floyds -- bleh
Chicken Box - Bleh bleh
Merts - bleh bleh blehhhhhhhh

I've heard good things about United House of Prayer but haven't nerved up enough to try one yet. ;-)


ETA: I heard a radio spot for Chicken Box today. Their special was a meat and two veggie sides. The announcer went on to list say "... like mac n cheese, black eyed peas..." I laughed at the thought that mac n cheese was considered a veggie or a side.

Another non-fan of Merts here. I work nearby, and only ate there once. Once.

My goodness gracious Kayak. I am a regular Wednesday morning and Saturday morning eater there. As many times as you have suspended me or deleted my postings, you should buy my next breakfast.
