Flounder and shrimp
Stephanie T.

I had a great experience at this Showmars! I shared meal with my mother and we had the following items: shrimp and flounder (5/5; well cooked and seasoned and generous portion) andGreek side salad (5/5;fresh lettuce and good dressing). The service was phenomenal (5/5; super attentive and nice staff; showmars employees checked on us 10 times! And we were only sitting for ~30min. We were even able to order some food to-go while seated.) the ambiance is casual and that of a typical diner. Really great place to stop for a good, quick and affordable meal with excellent service.

Fish sandwich, squash & zucchini
D A.

This review is late & for my first visit on Tuesday, 11-1-22. There was a promo for forty cent fish sandwiches. I planned to get it to go, but I did not realize the special price was for dine in only. That turned into a dine on lunch. I also ordered a side of zucchini and squash and baklava. The biggest issue was the parking. I had to wait a few minutes before a space became available. It's not pictured but I returned in August 2023 to try the spicy fish sandwich. I was thinking it was different; it was the same fish sandwich with a little sauce that was supposed to be spicy. It wasn't too spicy to me. I also tried the baklava cheesecake. I may edit this review if I find the picture. It was ok but I probably wouldn't order it again. Customer service seemed to be better at the downtown location.

Grilled salmon dinner served over rice with a salad
Stephanie J.

This location offers consistent customer service and food quality. I had my favorite meal- grilled salmon dinner. The salmon was perfectly grilled served a bed of rice. The salad is freshly made and served with ranch dressing. This Showmars always provides great customer service, never a long wait to receive your meal, and a clean dining area. The location is easy to find and provides a casual ambiance.

Halfway thru the fried fish platter!
Evelyn H.

Was feeling for fried catfish headed to grocery to pick up filets. Got a flat tire on the way and had to have my guy pick me up. Lost my momentum for cooking. Recalled Showmars Uptown showed fried fish on the menu and ad pic looked really good so decided to go to the one near my Matthews home. They did not have catfish, but the fried flonder was close enough to satisfy the crave. Came with hush puppies, onion rings and slaw. Tarter wasn't too mayonaisey or bland either. Although I would have preferred my own deep-fried catfish, this was not a half bad alternative and cost less than $13

Pepper & salt tator tots

Service at register was great! Food came out quick fast and hot! Manager was friendly and check in on us at the table. Pita was awesome! Beyond burger was better than BBKing and Fish sandwich was awful taste like frozen water had no flavor not even seafood flavor . Over all I would come back again !! Restaurant sparkling clean!

Chicken Gyro

The food was very fresh and the customer service was great! Their new spicy fish sandwhich is also a hit

Greek Salad with Chicken and wheat Pita
Kolani S.

I enjoy coming to this location. My order is always right, which is impressive for a family that orders enough to feed 8. The onion rings with the gyro are my favorite. I like that they offer vegan options and a variety of entrees that are heathy and delicious. I usually get my order fairly quickly despite it being cooked to order. The workers here are so friendly and that's a sign of good-natured management treating employees right. Keep up the fantastic work guys. #Matthewsstrong

Love this restaurant /bistro! The food is made as you order and is delicious. The service is great…read moreas well. We went on Sunday with friends and arrived about 11:30. Yanni was there to take orders and our waitress, Margie is very attentive and good. It is behind White Duck Taco - just drive to the back of the lot. They were also set up for dinner. It is not a huge place but very lovely. Make a reservation for dinner if you plan to go; otherwise pop in for lunch. I don't think you will be disappointed. They are open for breakfast as well. Check the hours.

Are you looking for food that is not only healthy but also tastes good?  Look no farther than Yanni…read moreBistro, located at 131 E. John St. in Matthews, NC (980-226-2779, yannibistro.org).  The restaurant, owned and operated by Yanni, serves plant-based food that's vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free - and healthy!  On a recent visit I tried one of his most popular sandwiches - the Falafel Pita, stuffed with homemade Falafel, red onions, sumac, lettuce, and tahini (without the hot sauce). I enjoyed  a  rich European-style coffee, one of many beverage options that includes a wonderful selection of imported teas and an extensive list of wine and beer. For dessert, I chose a French macaron - a vivid reminder of Paris!  My delicious, healthy lunch cost around $12!   Yanni also offers other variations of the Falafel Pita, plus sandwiches made with fresh ingredients, healthy salads, and homemade soups (try the Lentil). His breakfast menu features a variety of omelets, sandwiches, and bagels. Yanni has created an elegant dining space in a part of the restaurant, where patrons may enjoy amazing entrees such as Pan-Seared Salmon, Herb-Roasted Lamb Chops, Faux Filet a la Sauce au Poivre et Cognac., and a Classic Burger. Yanni Bistro is unique to Matthews and the Greater Charlotte region.  Check it out! Or order something to go. Carol T.

Either the management here doesn't care about losing money, or they just have no clue how their…read moreemployees are acting. I've NEVER experienced such inconsistent hours and menu availability. From what I can tell, the employees seem to be allowed to cut corners as they mentally check out after like 2:30 pm even though they don't close until 4. They say lunch is until 3pm, but sometimes they jump the gun and turn the grill off 15 minutes earlier than that, and if that happens they won't turn it back on for you, even if you are still there before 3. Last week I went in a little before 1:45 and I STILL couldn't get a sandwich because they just so happened to be closing at 2. The lady there didn't offer to let me change my order, upsell me on something different, didn't even apologize for the inconvenience... just flat-out refused me service and then the girl had the audacity to say "maybe I could have made it work if you were here at like 1:40ish..." As if her doing her job is negotiable once she's mentally already back at home on her couch. Never mind that the lobby was empty and she had nothing left to do EXCEPT her job. I was like "that's less than five effing minutes ago, y'all have a problem here" and as I walked out this girl actually yelled after me something like "I didn't know your BLT meant that much to you" Which would be completely uncalled for even if I DIDN'T happen to be someone with a chronic condition which actually does affect my diet. So yes, eating something actually WAS that important to me. This isn't even the first time an employee here has claimed I am 'two minutes too late' to order food off the grill they shut off some 10 minutes earlier than 1 hour early. Those cashiers have the work ethic of slugs. I'd recommend literally any other place for lunch, as the Great Harvest has disappointed me several times now. The first time I ate here I actually left a five-star review, but that was before they changed their hours and I will be removing that review. Since then, I have tried to order more food, but I have not since been one of the lucky few who got there in time for the special window of their shift that the employees actually feel like working!! Congrats to those of y'all who make it!!
