The one consistent in Charlotte since the early 1980's. George Couchell, Mr. "C", has done an amazing job. No matter which location I've eaten at I know what to expect and I get what I expected. They are one of the best values for casual dining in Charlotte. I'm not sure how he hires the best food service workers but he does. read more

Showmars is a great spot with super fresh ingredients and fast, friendly service. They have fresh salads, juicy grilled chicken, THE BEST tzatziki sauce, gyro, pitas, cheeseburgers, fried chicken sandwiches, pasta salad, the list goes on. You'll get a lot for your dollar as their portion sizes are pretty substantial! They are "Greek Southern" in their approach to food. They offer a casual order-at-the-counter-and-grab-a-number style dining experience which makes it perfect for a quick lunch or dinner with a group. The staff come around and make sure your drinks are refilled. Showmars is our go-to spot and I think if you give it a try, you'll agree! read more

This is a busy location, but they run very efficiently. It's a fast food, Mediterranean spot. You're able to get in and to get out. They have indoor and outdoor seating. There's plenty of parking spaces in the shared parking area. The staff were friendly I ordered a chicken pita. The temperature in textures were great, however, it was quite salty. If I am able to return, I will ask for no salt to be put onto the chicken. I hope your food tastes better than mine did. Who knows maybe somebody else will be working in the kitchen he won't be so heavy with the c read more

I ordered the flounder plate for lunch because I was looking for fried fish. Who would have thought this would have hit the spot, but it did. I no longer need to reach all over when I want fried fish. Showmars is it for me. My flounder plate came with fries and slaw, but I got onions instead of slaw. Just a nice lunch. read more

When I think of Charlotte restaurants that are institutions in this region Showmars quickly comes to mind. They've been around for roughly 40 years and they continue to bring great food with a good variety of options ranging from burgers to Greek dishes to seafood. It was my son's first trip to the restaurant. He's a picky eater but he ate all of his food and loved it. Whether you're meeting with friends or family, if you're looking for good food served quickly, great service, and consistent quality, you will enjoy Showmars. read more

I always love Showmar's. I have never had a bad experience at any location. I go to this one often because it's near work. I love the area and it's usually very easy to find a parking spot. Good customer service at this location every time. They have the best salads and cactus chili!! My favorite is the crispy chicken BLT salad with ranch. I get it by default. The pita is fresh and the tzatziki sauce is good to dip. read more

Showmars has come a long way from the old-school version .... food was fresh, hot and tasty. I think Covid has made it even better honestly. The restaurant was clean, staff were attentive and we left quite pleased. I don't know what they do to their chicken, but it's always perfectly seasoned, tender and tasty. The fries are insane (and you GET A LOT OF THEM). you might want to plan on sharing. Hope that they continue to stay busy through this pandemic - this is one that I'd be heart broken to see shutter. The Mediterranean competitors that have popped up truly don't hold a candle to the tried and true Showmars. read more

I have always loved Showmars. The burgers and flounder and salads have always been perfect. The burger I got today - chili burger, extra slaw- had very little chili . It also had cheese - which I did NOT request. It's a good thing I ordered extra slaw or I wouldn't have gotten any.... The fresh fruit was delicious! The fries, as usual, tasted like fried cardboard- nothing new there.. . The seats are awfully low for us short folks - remember to bring your "adult booster seat"! And bring a jacket! It's like an icebox! But- the people are friendly , the sanitation grade is great(97) , and everything appears clean. Some servers wear masks, some don't. It's quiet, for the most part, with some some calm classic oldies playing in the background. All in all, I still love Showmars.. improve the fries and put more chili, slaw, onions on the "old-fashioned CHILI burger" and it will be perfect! read more

Showmars - Charlotte - Fruit cup, burger, fries , diet Dr Pepper . - American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Showmars has really come a long way. I remember years ago when they were the first stop for the closest thing a chain could come to southern fried food that was a lot like going to a barbecue joint or a fish camp. My go-to meal was always the platter of fried shrimp, crinkle cut French fries and hush puppies. These days they've done well to hop on the healthier food train and offer more well balanced options. On this first visit in at least 5 years I ordered the grilled chicken Santorini entrée. They were quite accommodating of dietary issues when I requested dairy items on the side and no pita points. The whole meal was incredible. Yeah, you'll pay a higher price for healthy even here. But I really thought this was worth it. While you still can find a lot of their fried favorites it was a necessity for survival for them to get more green stuff on the menu. And I don't mean fried ocra. The staff is also super friendly these days, though I don't honestly remember exactly how they were long ago. I'd compare it to visiting a Chick-fil-A if that can be used as an industry standard. I bet I'll be back now that I know what they've got to offer. read more

I've been eating at Showmars for 20 years and dinner last night at the Providence Rd location had to have been the worst meal I've ever eaten at any Showmars. My pita burger patty was so thin and overcooked as was my husband's. We shared an order of onion rings that were so greasy and our friend's chicken filets were more breading than chicken. I'll continue to eat at Showmars but never again at this subpar location. read more

To be anle to pull-up & park a big truck, have made a pleasant call ahead order, & to have it ready in a split of a minute... This Showmars deserves 5 stars! read more

Here is a little Update for Showmars - ordered the Fried Flounder last night . It came with coleslaw and I got the side salad instead of fries. Take out is hard for a fried item because it steams in the container while you are bringing it home. But I placed it in the toaster oven and it was perfect . It is a nice flaky fish with no bad fishy flavor. I would tell anyone who likes flounder to get it . I got the three pieces and it was a great amount ! read more

This bad review is for the Burgers, they are much smaller than before, very disappointing

The Providence location is clean and has a friendly staff I advise calling in order or placing order online if you are not eating in the restaurant b/c its always busy at dinner time. I often enjoy the gyro platter (2 meals great for Keto), chef salad with shrimp or the world famous fish sandwich which are all delicious! Today, my mom and I ordered online and each had the fish sandwich, they were so crispy and a super convenient option for an on the go dinner under $10. read more

Wow! There was a man who opened the door for me as I entered the restaurant. He greeted me and ushered me up to the register. He even took my order and after the food arrived at my table, he came over to check on me! It was like a personal concierge service. Impressive. I had the chef salad with chicken and warm wheat pita bread. The salad was fresh and was served with a great presentation. It's been forever since I popped in here. I just always thought of this as a place with very fast food. What I experienced today changed my mind completely and I will be back. Even if I don't have personal concierge service, the quality of the food and the cleanliness of the space will call me back. Two thumbs up! read more

Picked up a grilled chicken pita for lunch it was very good preordering online and the drive up pick worked flawlessly!!!

Always exceptional and fast customer service. Food is consistent at all times. Definitely recommend!

Their ad says everybody loves Showmars and I wholeheartedly agree.This location is down the road from my kids' school and, as we drive by daily, tempts us to stop for quick tasty meal. Showmars does serve good food fast as they claim but what they don't mention is what excellent customer service they offer. In my mind, it even rivals that of the gold standard in customer service, Chick-fil-A. The same holds true for their sanitary rating. Their menu is diverse yet compact enough to display on a clearly read message board above their cashiers. It includes excellent burgers, some of the best gyros around at any price, large fresh salads, fried seafood, marinated beef and chicken tip platters and much more. Other bonuses include very affordable substantial kids meals at around 5 bucks and crushed ice fountain drinks that they faithfully keep topped off. On top of everything else, they even regularly mail out $2 and $4 off coupons. For me, they are easily earn a five star rating among restaurants in their category. read more

The lady at the front taking orders was very rude. Also, alert, I got food poisoning from eating a burger here the other day.

The food is good, served quickly by a very friendly staff! Fish and chips are good as are the burgers. Greek offerings include hummus.

Oh, Showmars...how I love you. Your pita burgers, ranch dressing, sweet tea with the BEST. ICE. EVER., and excellent service make me miss you all the time. Whenever I'm back in Charlotte, I make many trips to this casual and quick restaurant. They make it really easy to take and order to go or eat in their dining room. Head to Showmars and order anything, you won't be disappointed. They do have a couple of specials every day. read more

Sorry, but I have been to Showmar's several times and can't climb aboard the Love Train like so many locals. It isn't unpleasant, but the ambience is meh, the food is meh, the price isn't a wallet-buster, but there are other places I can think of which are comparable in price and superior in taste. Props, though, to the staff, which is very attentive. I honestly have no huge gripe with Showmar's, just a distinct lack of being wowed. Perhaps my minority view should be seen as just that; I don't get opera, either, and the fact that opera has been around for centuries would indicate it is my failing and not opera's. read more

Horrible experience with this location yesterday. They forgot our drinks and our food was not accurate. When my husband got back home with our order I realized we did not get the 2 sodas we ordered. I called 2 times and was put on hold forever. Finally the 2nd time the manager gets back on the phone. When I explained what happened she said you have 2 options. Option one was to come back and get the drinks and she would refund my money and give me free drinks. I said I was not going to drive 10 minutes each way while my food got cold to get the drinks. She said option 2 is to get free drinks when I come back. I said no, that was not fair. She should comp us at least one meal. She said "well I am not going to comp you a free meal". I repeated what she had said about driving back up there and wasting gas and my time due to their mistake. She said "sorry" that is all I am going to do. I said ok, I will post this on social media and I will not come back. She said go to our website and do it. I asked her name and she said Ivette. Not sure what has happened to customer service in our country. After hanging up we realized that the food order was also not correct. But of course I knew it was not going to do any good to call back again. read more

Great place for a fast, casual meal at a great price. I am always reluctant to go because I associate this place with mounds of fried food - but they have good salads too. On my last visit, I had a greek salad with grilled chicken and pita bread on the side. I really enjoyed it for what it is - a fast casual family oriented restaurant. The place is clean, the employees are helpful and friendly. read more

We ended up here randomly over the weekend! We were in the Ballantyne area doing a bunch of shopping and hunger struck. We originally looking for pizza, but then a chicken pita called my name! This was my first ever visit to any Showmar's. I didn't realize that it was an order at the counter place until we walked in- but it was exactly what I wanted, because I was STARVING! We both ordered the grilled chicken pita. There was a choice of white or wheat. We both made it a combo. The sandwich itself was around 6.99 and the combo added a few more dollars. The side choices were plentiful but we both decided to get fries. We sat down with our number and our food arrived in around 10 minutes. The sandwiches were a good size and tasted super fresh! Not greasy at all. I usually like extra taziki but I forgot to ask for it and there was plenty on there, even for me! Plenty of fries too...and I finished my plate! I was tempted to try a milkshake, they looked good and I think were $3. Free drink refills too! I liked Showmar's for a quick bite! read more

We really like this Showmars. This has become our favorite weekday restaurant when we want to grab a good quick meal. The service is exceptional. They hire bright, clean cut students that will keep your beverage cup full and ensure you are 100% happy with your dining experience. Every meal we have had has been good. I particularly like their fish, hamburgers and Gyros. read more

what happened showmars??? This location used to be one of the best, tonight...ugh. New menu....the sliced pork tenderloin is still season well but the quality of the pork was poor, extremely fatty. When the young female employee that comes back to check if everything is ok I addressed this to her. The response was "wow, I'm sorry. I can see what you mean" That was it....I suggested she inform t he manager, no one followed up. The greek salad is still very good and fresh but I can see the quality is slipping. Will not return for a while. Sorry, everybody doesn't love Showmars....and it shows read more

About a month ago was my first time here and I absolutely loved it. I got the grilled chicken salad and the chicken was cooked so perfectly ! The salad part was a spring mix, which was a nice surprise because most restaurants just use iceberg lettuce. The service was also phenomenal! The servers knew the menu like the back of their hand and our food came out lighting fast. Awesome ! read more

First time at this location. All I can say is wow. As a business owner I was impressed with how well run this location is. The entire staff was friendly and accommodating. The owner and the managers here should feel very proud of the teamwork. The food was great, the place was spotless. It is nice to have a good experience where I feel compelled to write a review in the parking lot. read more

Hmm.. can't really share others' enthusiasm.. Ordered the Chicken Pita today. Service was great, cashier very friendly and wait staff prompt. The pita was average... the chicken had no real taste to it and they didn't put enough Tzatziki sauce on it, so really all it tasted like was pita and lettuce... So, nothing wrong with the place but just not very memorable... will probably be back some time because some other items on the menu looked pretty good. read more
