This wasn't my first time at this location, I'd been here several years before and looks like they have recently remodeled this inside and outside. I like it! I looks a lot better than before. I came at lunch and was waited on right away. The lady taking my order was friendly and quick. I took a number and sat down to wait for my food. I came within 3 minutes and was fresh and delicious. The customer service was great! There was an employee walking around to check on tables the whole time I was there. She was extremely attentive. She made sure people had refills and boxes if they needed. Had a good experience!! read more

Showmars - Charlotte - BLT crispy chicken salad - Greek Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

We door dashed from here to our hotel (Omni) as the gyros looked amazing. Even with DoorDash making another stop before delivering ours this meal was absolutely PHENOMENAL!!! I got the original gyro (add lettuce) hubby got the mushroom and cheddar and my son got the cheeseburger pita. We all loved our meals! The fries were surprisingly tasty (Greek places usually don't have great fries) the ranch was AMAZING but the spotlight stealer was the onion rings. They were soooooo good! Will definitely try Shomars again when in the area. read more

The food is always good and quick in the staff is very friendly. They have their own parking lot and it's very convenient to eat here or pick up ordering online. read more

If you're looking for greek-ish inspired fast food, Showmars will hit the spot. Nothing special or spectacular, but good enough when you want it fast. read more

portions are horrible.. 12.00 for a fish and shrimp platter ask for no coleslaw extra fries.. no extra ordered a salad only want to give two dressings... spent almost 30.00 and barely any food read more

I just need to stop visiting this location. My food was fine today but my cup of water from the front counter was undrinkable. Tasted like it had chemicals in it. I was afraid to drink it. I was thirsty but no server showed up to ask how anything was, so I just went without. I was afraid the water would make me sick. Wish I could leave zero stars. Recommend you avoid this location. read more

Food and service was great..Showmars and I have had a long-term relationship... Nice clean restaurant read more

We eat the Monroe location several times a month. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and fast. We have never need disappointed. We would go more often but we live 47 miles away. read more

Ordered through their app, arrived, sent the arrival text with the parking space #2. My spouse & I waited a good 10 minutes just laughing & talking when we saw a younger female lean & look out the window @ us but never brought our food out. We waited another 5 minutes & my spouse decided to go in. He stated that the worker told him that she was unsure if we were there for the order & wanted to think about their safety. why give the option for curbside service if you're scared? Why not motion for us to come inside (even though that's not what I asked for), why not show some sort of empathy? How would you not know I'm the customer when I provided the parking space number & my vehicle description on the app? To me, it's sounds as if the employee was being lazy & that's unacceptable. We got home & our food (3 fish sandwich combos w/ salt & pepper tater tots) was packaged sideways, one sandwich was put in the container upside down read more

I'm not a huge fan of Showmars but I do love the fried flounder. Tonight I got it to go and it was spot on. read more

Showmars - Charlotte - Fried Flounder - really good - Greek Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I love eating at showmars but I have to say the experience tonight wasn't that great. Food took a long time to come out. It came out cold. Ordered tartar sauce on the fish sandwich and there was barely any on it so it It was extremely dry. The fish itself was cold, extremely thin, and chewy. Just a really disappointing meal from a restaurant that I usually love. The onion rings on the other hand tasted amazing and homemade even though they were served cold. Had to wait a while to get crackers we asked for to go with the soup and for the extra tartar sauce. I give it three stars because this is the first bad experience I've had at a showmars. It can be difficult to get in and out of the parking lot just because of its location but don't let that deter you from checking it out. I'll be back to this location one day but until then I will stick with the Park Cedar location that has never let me down. read more

Busy location!! I was happy I found a parking spot. I came here quickly to order some food to go. The staff was friendly and I did get my food pretty quick considering what I ordered. I got the fish sandwich with tartar sauce on the side. The girl handed me my food in a stapled bag and I asked if the tartar sauce was in there. She said "I don't know" and just looked at me. She said she would go get me one. She got side tracked and I just went ahead and looked inside and I did see it in there. The sandwich itself was great. Well worth the price and just something different. The tartar sauce is also good! read more

Freshly made gi order. They have salmon and grilled veggies unlike other locations. Always clean

I am writing to complain about Showmars' ridiculous and hateful policy of not accepting tips on credit cards. The policy causes embarrassment for customers and causes embarrassment AND monetary loss for loyal employees. There is no way a new or fairly new customer would know of or remember Showmars' hateful policy. So, then what is the option? Make your paying customer leave to visit an ATM and then return with a cash tip? Or, your loyal employee gets no tip? I wrote 7th Street operator Michael Koshivas and millionaire chain owner George Couchell and got no response. This from a so-called family restaurant. What is the company's reason? Is it because it has found a cheaper credit card process vendor, to save the millionaire Couchell more money? Or, is the company implying its loyal employees make so much money they don't need tips? Recently, I was treated to breakfast at Showmars' 7th Street location by an out of town friend, who was horrified to learn of Showmars' policy. I had forgotten that was the case. I told her she was not to take time out of her busy business trip in Charlotte to find an ATM. So, I promised Mary, our wonderful server, that I would return several days later to give her a cash tip, which I did. Showmars' arrogance is disgusting. There is NO reason in a society where few people carry cash that the company would have such a bizarre policy. I will never return to Showmars (and neither will my friend who travels to Charlotte frequently for business) as long as this classless policy is in place that discriminates against employees and causes discomfort for customers. read more

Ordered takeout waited for them to finish packing my meal they dropped a container on the ground with its contents spilling on the floor they picked it up and put it back in the container. Different order the plastic fork they gave me shattered while I was eating covering my food in sharp plastic and had to throw away Another order, I ordered a milkshake online and when I got there they said the milkshake machine wasn't working. read more

I really, really want to like Showmars because it's local, but it's just kind of icky in the environment. It was probably a unique spot before they spread all over the area, but now that Charlotte is super-saturated, it's just not that interesting. The french fries are ok, I guess. The veggie pita is no good...clearly designed by someone who has never eaten food without meat on it. Maybe I was disappointed because I had high expectations, and maybe it's an alright place for the meat-eaters...but it's just not good for me. I haven't had a good experience, and I've been to a few locations. I won't be going back. read more

Showmars - Charlotte - From the website. - Greek Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Always have been a fan of Showmars but never tried the breakfast there. I wasn't dissappointed at all! I had a turkey sausage, egg and cheese sandwich and loved it. Along side of that I had a bowl of grits made perfectly. The service at almost every Showmars is what I think really sets it apart from other chains. It's always friendly and I feel like they are eager to please. Not for nothing, the stores are almost always very clean. It doesn't take a lot for me to be impressed but Showmars does it for me if I'm looking for something as close to fast food as I feel like getting without the terrible food of a typical fast food joint. read more

Order/Food: You can't go wrong with anything on the menu! They always have a daily special that is a good deal. Our favorites are: Chicken Pita, Grilled Chicken Chef Salad, Greek Salad, Fish Sandwich, and to splurge the Pita Burger (Watch out this one has a LOT of calories). Atmosphere: You order at the front and the staff brings the food out to you. Sometimes the service can be slow (You might get your food before your drinks) but overall really happy with this location. Stay away from Monday nights unless you have children because the balloon guy is there and its kid central! read more

Showmars really only appeals to me for breakfast. I'm not into the lunch and dinner options, and the breakfast is traditional, quick, inexpensive, and easy. This location gets my breakfast business on occasion because it's only a couple of blocks from where I live and I can walk it in a matter of minutes. The service can be hit or miss, and on weekdays it's crowded with elderly gatherers gabbing about times past in a high tone to manage the hearing aids at the table between hacks and coughs. It can be a bit off-putting when you're trying to enjoy a quick breakfast. Parking can also be a challenge in the smaller lot provided. Hours changed a few times over the last year or so. At first they weren't open on Sundays, but then they suddenly were for a bit. Apparently it didn't work out to well for them though, because now they are back to being closed on Sundays. read more

I loved showmars. Until now... I was drinking my tea and ended up with an object in my mouth. I pulled it out and it was a bandaid. Absolutely disgusted. read more

Shrimp had a weird nasty taste. Fish also had after taste I returned my food. Customer service was good though.

I haven't been in many Showmars locations, but I can definitely say I won't be back to this one. In the short amount of time we had been sitting, we saw three GIANT roaches, palmetto bugs, whatever they call them here in NC. We actually abandoned our food and left. This was at 1:30 or so in the afternoon. read more

Haven't been inside a Showmars since the virus era.. my visit to your location at 7th and Pecan in Charlotte was quite disappointing. Ad we pull up, the sign stating operating hours has no times except for closed on Sunday. Entering the location, I noted filthy floors. Haven't been cleaned in a while. Health grade of 93 is horrible for your brand. Furniture was cracked and scuffed . Salt and pepper shakers were disgustingly sticky. Maybe the time of day- 3pmish, but I as a diner do not want to look at the dirty water and rags in the cleanup bucket. Bacon cheeseburger was as greasy as any burger I've ever had, but pasta salad was nice. Wife enjoyed her chicken salad pita. This location was not to the standard I've seen for a Showmars. Lack of company pride. Just helpful thoughts from a previous restaurant manager. read more

I called in an order and it was ready for pick up when I arrived about 20 minutes later. The staff members and I had a few laughs and I was on my way. I noticed there were dirty tables awaiting cleaning but I suppose they were taking a quick break from the breakfast crowd. As I was on my way, I realized I didn't have my drink. I circled back, entered the restaurant and they quickly handed it over. The food was good, as expected. Therefore, 4/5 stars for this location. read more

The staff at this restaurant are very nice and friendly, and that's why I gave this place two stars. The food was meh. I got the chicken pita, which should be a shining star at a Greek restaurant, but it was bland and boring. Their pita bread was okay, though. The biggest issue with this place is that it was very dirty. There were about 10 empty tables and they were all dirty, the chairs all had crusty food on them, the floor was filthy throughout the restaurant, and the areas to enter/exit and he kitchen looked wet and grimy. It was off-putting. I want to like Showmars because they co-sponsor the Greek Festival which is a super fun event, but my first experienced here was pretty disappointing. Maybe the other locations are better. read more

Place was spot on. My uncle was admitted to the hospital after dinner hours and needed something quick. I called and they said it would take 10 minutes. I got there in 5 and it was coming out piping hot and ready for me. Really appreciate the great services provided. read more

i LOVE this place. the workers are SOOO sweet!!! the girl with the colored hair had a great attitude towards the group i was with. she helped with all our questions on the menu and overall had a great personality. we will definitely be coming back to this location!!!! read more

Fast Greek food is what Showmars does best. This isn't sit down full service Mediterranean cuisine, it's an Americanized version of Greek favorites like gyros and other American classics with Greek touches. I went with simple gyro, great part is I was able to get it with extra tzatziki sauce. My son ordered the grilled cheese but the bread was pita. My mother had a shrimp po'boy on pita and dad had chicken salad on pita. No complaints at the table. Showmars is a solid choice. read more

See all

This place doesn't have tzatziki, it has "pita sauce" When I asked what pita sauce was, one person said it was sour cream and pickles (gross!) but then a manager quickly came up behind that person and said "it's like tzatziki sauce, it has sour cream and cucumber and such...".....shady! I realize that Greek yogurt is probably more expensive than sour cream and cucumbers are probably more expensive than pickles, but guys, please don't insult Greek people and food in this manner. Don't be so cheap, if you're going to run a Greek restaurant, you have to use Greek yogurt, NOT sour cream! read more

I have been to this location for breakfast for a few times. Always super quick and friendly service. There is a large parking lot for the restaurant and it gets hopping! I usually have eggs and turkey sausage or the biscuits and gravy. Everything is always cooked well and comes out fast and hot. The coffee is what you would expect - nothing fancy but does the trick. The prices are always reasonable and I have never had a bad breakfast here. Thanks guys! read more

Here's a novel thought: when you get tried of waiting in line for a table at some of Charlotte's more well-known breakfast spots and you come to the realization that $10 for a couple of eggs and hash browns is a little too steep, come on down to the heart of Elizabeth and get with the program. This is as close to a neighborhood diner as you can get. Very recently renovated inside, the light and color scheme is much brighter across the range of booths and tables that fill the space. While there is a menu on the wall and a take-out counter, breakfast is table service and the truly Southern ladies who wait the tables will welcome you in and invite you to pick your own table. I've never had to wait and I kinda like being able to pick out my own digs- is it a window kinda day, or do I want to bury into the back corner? Menus are on the table and they have all the regular breakfast staples. Omelets, waffles. eggs your style, hasbrowns, and all the usual breakfast meats. While I usually skip the meat, I do appreciate the fact that turkey sausage is always an option. Service is speedy and the ladies who constantly walk around will make sure your drink never goes empty or that your coffee always stays refreshed- no matter if they took your order or someone else did. Now that's some customer service. Another thing I really like is that they recycle newspapers from earlier guests. I can usually find several whole local papers stacked up in a central location to be read and returned as "community paper." I can get caught up on the affairs of the day and pass it on. What you'll really love here is that the prices are so easy on the wallet. When both my wife and I can have a full breakfast for under $12, with tip, then I am amazed. Try to find breakfast for one for under $12 at some of the "other breakfast places" around town- their biscuits may fly, but they will weigh your pocketbook down! Now this place, like all other Showmars, serves a lunch and dinner with plenty of Greek staples, including a pita burger. I'll save that review for another time. Just know that this location in particular has plenty of local color and the breakfast is a nice, relatively undiscovered gem of a breakfast spot right in the shadow of uptown. read more

OK, it's Showmars. So all you snobby food Yelpers need to take it easy. You know what you're getting - the cute little old Greek guy on TV. But it ain't all that bad. This location on 7th Street is right next to a bunch of cool shops (Heroes, VisArt, Ho Ho Cherry House, Sunflour Bakery, Philosopher's Stone, etc.) So make a day of it! And it's right next to a fun intersection - try not to get hit by a car, it's like playing Frogger. Yep, you're the frog. Good luck! Service has always been great here. They are sooooo nice. Monday night, kids eat free with a paying adult. And Jason Frame does magic at your table. His card tricks are really good. They also have a good variety of side dishes, unlike other Showmars around Charlotte. I dig the fried okra. They also have root beer to drink, which is always a bonus. read more

Always check your food for a Togo order before leaving this location. I am a vegan and I specified that I wanted a vegan style veggie burger but my food was not prepared correctly. They gave me the wrong side dish and didn't have my drink prepared. I would think twice before ordering here again. Im giving two stars because of their kind service. read more

Showmars - Charlotte - 2 pc flounder platter. Smh it's not worth $8. - Greek Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I can't believe I haven't written a review for here! This is my weekend breakfast joint. And it's a solid one. My fav: $4.99 Country Breakfast (2 eggs, bacon or sausage, and a biscuit covered in yummy gravy). A much more affordable option than John's and the likes. During breakfast time, this is more a "full service" place. Just take a seat and one of the ladies will stop by to take order. This one waitress somehow remembers me (or rather my odd way of drinking coffee... which is to half and half it with hot tea, topped off with creme and sugar) and is super sweet every time she sees me. You can always find some newspaper to read as well on the bench by the door. On a nice day, outside seating is quite enjoyable. read more

Showmars - Charlotte - Country fried steak breakfast $7.29. (I asked for gravy on biscuit) - Greek Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Today the person taking our order didn't seem like she wanted to answer any questions. I wanted to see how big was the salmon option if you add it to a salad. She came back and said 4oz and held her fingers up in a tiny square. I also asked for lemon wedges abd hotsauce for my fish, and she didn't acknowledge me. Of course when our food came out, nothing I asked for. When I did ask again for it, I got more attitude and eye rolling. Just dropped off another star for that. read more

Wow is all I can say previous food score was an 87 and now just a 91. When I walked in there was a horrible smell. I glanced over and noticed food score of 91. I then turned around and walked out. Was researching their food health score history and it terrible. With all that's going on with Covid-19 I wouldn't dare eat anything from there. Looking at reviews of all the bad food experiences is breath taking. SMH. read more

This is a decent Showmars. Service is usually pretty good. Food is exactly what you would come to expect. Restaurant is always kept very clean. The parking lot can be a bit hairy depending on the time of day. read more

I'll never order from Showmars again. Got delivery from Uber eats. Cheeseburger was two burned hockey pucks, but the cheese wasn't even melted. Hardly any chili and slaw. No taste. Last time I got Showmars, it was mediocre, but this was downright terrible. read more

The food is generally exactly what you'd expect, but the service always happens to disappoint. Once stood for an extra 10 mins to pick up my call-in order, when it was ready the whole time. Just went in today and asked a question to a cashier, was disregarded and passed onto another employee :( read more

I love the ladies more than I love the food, Gloria, Mary, Dorothy, ect. They are all so welcoming and warm. The food is good too.
