Very different experience at this location than the one in Wake Forest. The employees were friendly, if a bit distracted in very busy. The food was OK, however, I've developed a really bad stomach problem since we left a few hours ago and I'm hoping it is not food poisoning. Relatively clean, extremely busy and unbelievably loud. Met someone there for lunch and the noise level was very distracting. Definitely prefer the Wake Forest location. Good amount of parking and in a pretty central location of Brier Creek. read more

Was craving something fresh yet yummy after a full day of doctor's visits on 6/10/2025. I ordered the calabash shrimp while my sister ordered chicken and we both enjoyed all of our food. Service was quick- I noticed that they no longer serve their fresh juices. This wasn't a deal breaker for me as I ordered water. Just may be something to document if you were a fan! Entrees come with 4 hushpuppies, several condiments and a lemon wedge. All great pairing options. read more

I've loved the Showmars Pita Burger since I was in college in Charlotte many moons ago! Today, on a beautiful Saturday, I decided to wash my car and run some other weekend errands. This was perfect for a meal at the Briar Creek Showmars just off US-70 near RDU. Frankie's is close by if you want to play miniature (put-put) golf or arcade games. The restaurant is an order at the counter and they'll bring your food to your table. They use numbered table tents to find you. Always greeted with a big smile by a charming, polite, patient, friendly and knowledgeable person at the counter. This visit, I hardly sat down, and my hot meal arrived. I had the Original Pita burger that is basically a gyro with beef burger, instead of gyro, meat. The combo meal comes with fries. I had a 1/2 sweet to unsweetened iced tea to drink. Everything was fresh and delicious. The food was hot and the tea was cold. I am going to get a milkshake to go! I'll be back again! Use their app to earn points and get rewards read more

Tried their "Famous Fish Sandwich" it was pretty good. It's hard to be fair to Showmars for any fried fish meal after just returning from the UK where they basically make fried fish an art form, but it was a solid entry in the fried fish sweepstakes for a restaurant on this side of the Pond. Order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. Drinks are served when you order, but refills are available on request. The service was fast and friendly, I had a staff member stop by several times to ask if I needed anything and he took my dishes away when I finished. Definitely worth stopping for a good, solid lunch. Price-wise it was reasonable and a good value for $$. read more

I've wanted to try Showmars ever since it opened and this is the first chance I had! The way it's set up you order at the counter and then a staff member brings your food to you. They were all very nice and the food came up faster than I thought it would. We were going to hit a movie after and wanted to have room for popcorn so we had their mini meals, which was more than enough! My spouse had the shrimp, which she enjoyed and I had the fish filet, which was quite good. Unfortunately we didn't get any photos, but it looked as good as it tasted. We definitely will return and explore the menu further. read more

One of my favorite spots to grab a fish sandwich. It's hard finding a good fish sandwich in the area and these guys always seem to deliver. Let me warn you, the fish sandwich is big. So bring two stomachs. Great service, great staff, and there's always Ample parking. read more

My first visit here was a quick, pleasant surprise. This casual restaurant offered immediate service; no line, and my food came out faster than I expected. I ordered a flounder fish sandwich. While the food wasn't bursting with flavor, it was undeniably good--a significant improvement over any fast-food fish sandwich. I look forward to returning return and trying more of their menu. read more

Good spot for quick fresh good tasting food. They have a variety of items from burgers, gyros, fish and chicken sandwiches. Ordering is easy and the food comes out really fast. They have ample seating in the restaurant. The place has a nice clean decor. Prices aren't bad. I got a chocolate shake and their famous fried fish sandwich and it filled me up. The fried fish was fresh and crispy with not a lot of breading and just some light sauce to add flavor. It didn't feel too heavy on my stomach either. read more

Great food and service! Went for a fish sandwich and chili and both were amazing. The service was top notch. The ambiance is a franchise chain vibe, but clean and has nice lighting. Highly recommend. read more

This place is top notch. Has a unique array of foods from flounder and shrimp to Greek and soups and burgers, etc. Been there twice and had excellent service. The staff is very attentive. Today I had the flounder and shrimp which was excellent. The only minor issue was that I ordered in person to go and someone put my food on the counter and didn't let me know My food was ready. I had to ask a few minutes later. Still everything was ready within 10 minutes,probably more like five. read more

Showmars has been a favorite for us for a long time now and it continues to not disappoint. Everything ordered arrived correctly, fast, and hot and fresh. The hospitality of the staff was superb and we always had someone checking in on us. The place was clean and very spacious. Looked like it could easily accommodate a larger crowd. Their fish is to die for! Fresh, crisp, and hot. The tartar sauce is more mustardy (which is how i prefer it), complimenting the fish very well. The salmon was crisp on the edges and cooked perfectly. It fit so well with the Mediterranean salad. The pita bread was even served warm with our meals!! I love how all the sauces are ready to go and served on the side - perfect if you prefer to dip or drizzle over your meal. 10/10 would recommend this place to a friend!! An abundance amount of to-go orders going out the door while we dined and I'm sure they wouldn't disappoint there either. read more

I was just looking for a good burger and the reviews said they had one, but I must have been in the wrong location. When I want a burger, I want a good burger. So I ordered the burger and fries and an Oreo milkshake. Also the fried fish, coleslaw and mixed veggies for mom. I walked out for a minute while they prepared the food (about 5 minutes) came back in and it was ready . I was like - what time that was quick. When I got my food I understood why. The food must have already been prepared. While it was hot, it didn't taste fresh. The burger actually looked old (cheese dried and lettuce wilted). It tasted bland. The fries tasted like they were fried in the fish grease. Not good. When a place messes up fries, you know the rest is downhill . The shake wasn't even good. I didn't finish it. The fish 's smell was VERY strong. My mom said it was ok, but not that good. When she threw some of it in the trash, the smell lingered until I took the trash out. I was hoping for a good experience based on the reviews and the reasonable prices, but this will be a no go for me. I'm tired of spending my hard earned money on bad food. The cashier was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere seemed clean and there's plenty of parking. read more

Adorable place with a comfortable feel. Ordered easily at the counter and food came out super hot to our table. Fries were okay as was the fried flounder. Highlights were the fried shrimp, hush puppies and chocolate milkshake. read more

LOVE this Shomars!! They have absolutely never let me down. Dine in or take out, it's all amazing! The service is always exceptional and the food is so delicious. Their tartar sauce with the founder is my absolute favorite. The food is always so fresh and comes out quick! I love when I'm in the area and get to grab a meal here! Plus, the restaurant is clean and the employees check on you just the right amount ... always available to grab you an extra sauce, box/lid, or more water. Thank you Shomars! read more

Showmars - Flounder platter with pasta salad and side salad - Southern Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Food is always good and the restaurant is clean. We normally get courteous service too. Today was a sharp contrast to that norm! Arrogant, rude and very poor communication. I had to have my order redone after it sat out for almost 15 minutes. When I requested the redo the employee informed me that he carried a firearm. At no time did I raise my voice, use profanity or act aggressive. It was just a simple error until the belligerent employee greatly escalated the situation. Not a stable or safe environment from my experience. read more

I had the vegetarian/greek Pita, and it was soooooooo fresh ! I immediately wanted another 1 ! Shoutout to Showmars !

An elderly member of our congregation fell ill, and a Meal Train was established to provide assistance. It was duly noted that Showmars was particularly favored. Showmars who? Never heard of it. Fast forward to .. now. On a ordinary Sunday, prior to Sunday dinner. Showmars sounded like a flavorful option. Now, I don't know about you, but unless it's New England Cod "beer battered" fish and chips -- I like my fried fish dredged-in cornmeal -- not flour. However high Yelp reviews swayed me. Showmars is located in Brier Creek near supermarkets and other restaurants. On this particular Sunday, the restaurant was packed with a pretty full house. The restaurant itself is neat and tidy - a fast casual dining experience loaded with friends, families, and couples. Upon deliberation, we ordered (two) fish sandwiches, a Greek salad, fries, and water. We were pleasantly surprised with our meal. While not cornmeal dredged, it was tasty. Perhaps a brioche bun (?) contained 3-4 decent sized white fish. As noted by other Yelp reviews, the tartar sauce was light and well balanced. The Greek salad was fresh and had a tasty dressing. There are other options besides fish. In my opinion, this is an affordable, clean, and tasty fast casual option. Fast Casual Greek/Southern (literally no competition) : 4.3 read more

While having a dental cleaning next door today my hygienist recommended lunch at Showmars. She raved about the famous fish sandwich & salads. I had always passed this place and never knew what the menu was like. Southern- Greek ? Two of my favorite cuisines fused ? I decided on the famous fried flounder sandwich. I made it a combo by adding a greek salad. The service here was excellent and the flounder sandwich really blew me away. The fish was good quality, lightly battered, flaky and the tarter sauce was not full of sodium. The salad could have used more fresh greens but it got the job done. I found the menu prices affordable and the service here was excellent. I will definitely return for the fish. read more

Love the fish sandwich and fish platter! The service is exceptional as well. Employees are always polite, positive and smiling.

The flounder sandwich is INCREDIBLE. 2 pieces of lightly breaded flounder, on a potato bun with not too sweet tartar sauce. For under $8, it's the bargain of the century! And Uber delicious! read more

This place was actually really good and you would never know it unless you try for yourself. Even though I've been told it was good, I was hesitant because I was wondering how fried fish would be good at a green spot but they showed me! We tried the fried flounder and shrimp plate and the chicken santorini pita and they were both delicious. The fish came out piping hot and was well seasoned. The pita was stuffed with fresh ingredients as well. The food came out quick too. You'll order once you walk in and the employees will bring your food to you. I would definitely return for the delicious and inexpensive food options. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch on our way through . We have visited other locations in the past. I was instantly greeted when I walked in the door. The place was clean. Outside area was also very nice. Our food came quickly. I ordered the santorini chicken pita. It was very hot, fresh and tasty. A server also came by the table to ask if we needed drink refills. The two girls working the front obviously took pride in themselves and in their job. Both were amazing!! Thanks for a great experience. read more

Showmars has a little bit of everything but their pita is really good. I always order the classic chicken pita, which is what's pictured. The chicken is seasoned very well and the pita is always so soft. The rice pilaf is very good as well. This place is great for just a quick bite and if you want something simple. They have burgers, fish platters, skewers, etc. There are quite a few locations in Raleigh and I've had consistent experiences throughout each. Showmars is very reliable and always has great food. This is a great lunch spot! read more

It's just ok food. It's served hot and the atmosphere is pleasant. But other than that it's just ok food. I tried the flounder and shrimp plate. Honestly everything on the plate was frozen/pre-made.

I first learned of Showmars restaurants when I traveled through the Charlotte area someone had recommended quick quality reasonable priced food, I tried it and loved it.

Here is my "love letter" to my once-beloved lunch spot: Oh, how unfortunate! While I loathe the very idea of giving anyone anything but the highest accolades, Showmars simply fell short of the mark this time. I did a large group order for work, with chef salads, flounder and shrimp platters, and a southern fried chicken sandwich for myself. I was impressed at the size of the sandwich...and then, I bit into it. Tasted like fish grease. OLD fish grease. Inedible---oh, the horror! One of my coworkers wasn't pleased with her salad either. Staff at Showmars, if you love to see my frequent massive lunch orders from you guys, I simply ask you to do better. I've spent massive amounts of money on your meals, and I'm disappointed at being disappointed. Please give us back the "southern greek fresh" I'm so accustomed to. Yours truly, the "Lunch Lady" read more

HORRIBLE! I ordered this Greek salad from Showmars through Doordash. I love ordering from them because they go to great lengths to ensure the packaging is secure but what about the contents of the container inside?! I open the lid and begin cutting the salad and find a bug in it! There's a bug in my freaking salad! I call the store and speak with Lenny, the manager and explain the problem. He tells me that I'll need to contact Doordash because they haven't received the funds yet and to 'have a good day'. 'Have a good day' He said! Wow! You'll never get another dime of my money! read more

Love the service and speed/ accuracy, but the food is awesome. The flounder is perfect. Not greasy, lightly fried, and moist. The chicken tenders are excellent.
