    Seafood platter
    Christian S.

    I always love going to Showmars! Staff were super sweet and very helpful. Food was delish! Gyro was so flavorful and tender. The seafood platter was delicious and fried perfectly. Restaurant was clean and had plenty of seating options. Look forward to returning!

    placed a order from here through came back with a receipt on the bag with red letters "Hoe" called the placed and the manager who was in the back was very rude about this situation didn't seem like he cared and said I was in the wrong when It came from his store called back after two mins and he was gone so I guess a ghost wrote it.

    I was not going to post but over the years the portions here have gotten smaller and smaller. I ordered a chili cheese burger and this is the chili I got. I'm done ordering from Showmars!!

    Chicken skewers
    Rachel M.

    I went for lunch and it was busy, but they had great service! I tried the chicken skewers meal, and everything was very tasty. This was a huge serving and I ended up having leftovers because there was so much. Next time I may try to get the mini entree instead, but I liked the combo of the salad, pita, chicken, and fries.

    Pepper Jam Pita Burger with onions added. Absolutely delicious!
    Scott S.

    The most friendly staff ever! Helpful with menu selections, side choices. etc. I asked about the special return of the Pepper Jam Pita Burger. It came highly recommended. I added onions. It was out of this world great! My appreciation to the great staff! No name on the receipt? Very clean restaurant!

    Fish sandwich
    Yush H.

    Came here for their 40th year anniversary special of the 40 cent fish sandwich. Haven't eaten at showmars in over 15 years. Was pleasantly surprised at how good their fish sandwich is. There were 4 to 5 pieces of lightly breaded flounder in this sandwich. Coated with the right amount of tartar sauce. The bread to fish ratio was great, I never felt like there wasn't enough fish like some of the other fish sandwiches I've eaten. Will try their spicy fish sandwich next time.

    Bad nasty lettuce

    The food was bad I ordered a all American pita and they gave me bad nasty lettuce also the food was cold and the service was terrible the guy I front had a attitude and gave me the drinks all dripping on the side I couldn't even hold them and no one came up to see if we needed anything else like other showmars NEVER COMING TO THIS SHOWMARS AGAIN

    Mini meal shrimp and baked potato

    I love Showmars! This particular one is always clean and the food is always good and fresh and the staff are all super friendly! Showmars is truly a Charlotte area staple.

    We were very disappointed in the service here. The only thing we ordered was a wine bottle for $36…read more Our waitress came over, popped it open, and spilled about half the bottle. It was moscotto and looked like it had been shaken because it continually overflowed the bottle, so much so she put it in the ice box to contain it. There was wine on the table, floor, and (of course) the ice box. All she said was "That never happens." No apology, no offer to replace the bottle (we lost at least a glass and a half of wine), and no discount. I decided not to ask for manager purely because we were with friends and I didn't want this to become the "focus." On top of this, however, service was generally bad. We didn't order food, but it took about 10 minutes for our friends to have their order taken, another 20 for food to come out, another 10 for one person's food to arrive (she had a pizza that should've cooked the quickest), an extended period for the offer of the check and grabbing our cards. The only positive is the food seems good (based off of our friends), but that's it. I personally would never reccomend this establishment due to the lack of courtesy and attentiveness.

This time, I ended up at The Wine Shop just down the way and it turned out to be a great second option, the kind of place that feels immediately comfortable even when you're showing up solo with time to fill. It was pretty busy for a Sunday afternoon, but I found a seat at the bar where I was warmly greeted and with a big glass of water set down before I even had to ask. I ordered a glass of the Malbec with an Argentina label and paired it with the pimento cheese that arrives bubbling in a skillet alongside a huge pile of pita wedges that could easily feed two people if you were so inclined. The wine was absolutely excellent, the cheese was hot and spicy in all the right ways, and before I knew it, my phone buzzed with the text that Mrs. K. was ready to be picked up. We'll be back to Ulta soon enough and when that happens, I'll be right here at The Wine Shop, settling in and waiting it out with no complaints at all.

It's never a win on both. The best thing I've had here so far is the strawberry French toast--it's actually really good. Unfortunately, the worst thing I've had was the waffle portion of the chicken and waffles. The waffles were so hard that I honestly can't believe the kitchen sent them out, and I can't believe I actually tried to eat them! I really want to see this place succeed, but they definitely need to work on consistency, especially with both the food and the drinks. There's potential here, but unfortunately, my experiences so far have been more disappointing than enjoyable.

That's like charging $10 for a small shot of Hpnotic, especially without notifying that it is that much of an additional charge. I understand an upcharge, but $10 is absurd for what was a splash of Baileys. It wasn't even 1.5oz brought out in those small plastic communion cups. Upon Google review, "A $10 upcharge for a shot of Baileys Irish Cream in an espresso martini is unusually high. Normal liquor and modifier upcharges at restaurants generally range from $2 to $6. The Modifier Premium: Standard bars charge $2 to $5 to add a splash of liqueur.The Standalone Pour: High-end lounges often lack a dedicated "modifier" button for premium liqueurs in their Point-of-Sale (POS) system. The bartender is forced to ring up a full 1.5 oz to 2 oz pour, which carries a baseline lounge price of $10 to $14."

I may have one or two on my husband's phone that I still need to pull. Now, let me tell you...this place is amazing! And it was even better because our server RICO (UPDATE: I figured between the five of us, someone remember Rico, right? I just wanted to make sure I gave credit where credit was due.) He gave us just the right amount of attention without us ever having to ask twice--or even once! He kept our drinks refilled and checked in to see if we needed anything else. That kind of service makes such a difference. The interior is unique and really cool. I especially loved the idea of hanging a full-size motorcycle from the ceiling. Definitely a great conversation piece! We had a party of five, and all five of us ordered something different, ranging from a chicken salad to tacos, hush puppies, and, of course, my Chopped Brisket Sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries. I'm already drooling again just thinking about it! The brisket was tender, juicy, and full of flavor, with just the right amount of seasoning. But let me talk about those sweet potato fries... THE BEST sweet potato fries I've had so far! They were crispy on the outside and actually tasted like sweet potatoes. I've had sweet potato fries at other restaurants that were soggy and tasted more like frying oil than sweet potato. These were completely different--crispy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I 100% recommend them! So, if you're in the Charlotte area, do yourself a favor and stop by Mac's Speed Shop at 2414 Sandy Porter Road. Great food, great atmosphere, and phenomenal service. I would definitely go back!

James, the host, welcomed us with such a warm smile that, even though I'm visiting from Dallas, I immediately felt right at home. That kind of genuine Southern hospitality is hard to find and made the experience even more memorable. The food was phenomenal, and the mac and cheese tasted just like something Big Mama would make--rich, creamy, and full of flavor. Every bite reminded me why great barbecue is about more than just the meat; it's about comfort, tradition, and hospitality. If you're looking for authentic BBQ, amazing comfort food, and service that makes you feel like family, this is the place to be. I'll definitely be back!

This place was outstanding and the service was so kind and attentive! Don't get me started on the food and drinks.. I highly recommend the alcoholic Arnold Palmer-- it was the best drink I ever had. The cherry lemon drink was really good too. We got the Buffalo Chicken dip starter and it was just like my mom used to make. We also got chicken wings, which came in a huge variety of sauces and dry rubs. The waitress recommended the Buffalo chips as our side (they're a secret item you can get off menu!!) and it was my favorite thing we got. PLEASE add to the menu because they were a home run. They're potatoes but they're cut the same way they do pickle chips (like a wavy cut so they get super crispy) and then deep fried. Boy howdy, they were THE BEST potatoes I have ever eaten. The place was cute and clean and it's supposedly connected to an indoor golf place that I wish we would've popped in and looked at. We are huge fans and we will be back asap!

While the parking lot definitely needs a little work, getting in and seated has been a breeze every time we've visited.

The ambiance hits the mark for a classic sports bar and grill, and the staff has been consistently pleasant and engaging on each trip. The food sits comfortably in the middle of the road, leaning on the good side, neither outstanding nor terribly disappointing. On our visits, the burgers and wings were solid, though we found the pizza to be a bit of a letdown. Pricing and quality are fair for what it is, and we're definitely curious to check out the attached golf simulator during a future visit. It's a great casual spot to grab a bite and catch a game, and we'll certainly keep coming back.

No, I did not try to get medium prime rib. THAT is a losing proposition, so I settled for a 12 ounce chili crusted ribeye steak ($38.95), with loaded baked potato, mushrooms and onions and a side BLT wedge salad...I was happy. Wife and one of our three neighbors had 7 ounce filet steaks ($38.95 each), one with blue cheese/Composaldo (?) poured over it. The guy neighbor had a 10 ounce Garlic Sirloin ($28.95). Two bottles of a red blend at $39 each helped it all go down. Another great Firebird's experience. Of course, we will return.
