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

Thank you to Sean at Metro Diner for making my pickup order experience great! I was picking up a…read morespecial lunch order for my team in recognition of Employee Appreciation, and Sean took the extra time to make sure everything was perfect. He double-checked that the order was correct and made sure I had extra utensils, condiments, and everything we needed. That level of service really stands out. It meant a lot to me because this was something special I was doing for my team, and Sean helped make sure it went smoothly. Thank you again! Although I didn't get pictures of the food this time, everything was amazing. I will definitely be back and will take pictures next time. Please check them out, won't be disappointed.

Typically, when someone from a restaurant reaches out to me about my review, especially when they are not 5 star, I instantly become skeptical. However, this owner made me feel comfortable to share my thoughts and explain how my visit went before anything else. Over the years, I have received tons of owners offering me a free meal in exchange for my integrity but I could tell this owner was extremely genuine and wanted to make sure my voice was heard. The initial post will remain the same but I wanted to amend some of the initial remarks including the service. The first time I tried this place, I received service that was not in alignment to the core values and standards this restaurant upholds, which, I am human and I have worked in food service for years so trust me, I get it. Since being back twice since my initial visit, I have been treated like family. The service has been up to par and the staff has been incredibly friendly. As far as the ambiance, it gives the feel of an old diner which makes it charming and lovable. Perhaps, some restorations and furnishings can be done nothing that isn't manageable. Lastly, I wanted to make sure to do a thorough review of the menu so when I went back twice after my initial review, I tried a menu item for each the breakfast menu and the dinner menu. The food was great! It was favorable, warm and packed with fresh ingredients. I tried the ribs and Mac and cheese as well as a breakfast plate on two separate occasions without letting the restaurant know I was coming back for a remake. The only thing I wasn't super thrilled about was the Mac and Cheese, other than that it was good. It goes to saying that their standards are commendable as they do care about their service, food and experience of the customers.

We got there and were immediately sat. One server was taking care of the entire front of the house including bar tending. She was hustling and still provided great service. My wife ordered the Chicken Parm entree, i order Chicken Picatta over angel hair, Katy ordered Baked Ziti, Brody ordered a traditional Boli, and Karlea and Piper split a Chicken Basil Pesto Pizza. Our server unintentionally made an extra entree and asked us if we wanted it. It was ravioli Alfredo and we split it up between my daughters and wife. My son ordered a traditional boli which was large that came with a bowl of red sauce. Their red sauce is outstanding! Halfway through he asked for more red sauce and she delivered a new bowl quickly. Always a great meal with tremendous portion sizes with outstanding service. I highly recommend Mamma's! Cause you gonna like!

The pizza here is very, very delicious. One of the few…read moreplaces here where I can still get a nice thin crust pizza done right. The pizza and local convenience is the only reason we came here a few times. For the quality of the pizza, I still consider it a great value compared to other "social media trendy" but highly overpriced, overrated places. The environment can be nice, especially with the "night light" lamps they put on the table, music is not overwhelmingly loud or obnoxious. The white tablecloth is a nice touch. The chairs are decent. However, the wait can be very long, even if not busy. We've been here at least 4 times on various days and times (weekdays, late afternoons, early evenings, weekends, etc.) and we typically wait about 40+ minutes or so for the food to be ready. Even when there's only 2-3 other customers around, it takes about 25-30 minutes after ordering for the food to receive it. The last time we were here, it took more than 1 hour for the food to be ready. The service staff is extremely nice. However, there's still something "off" about this place and them. For example, the bar worker is expected to not only pour drinks at the bar, but also attend to non-bar restaurant guests. This is kind of weird. This place seems to give more attention and priority to bar customers and alcohol drinking "buddies" of the bar staff. The staff loves to sit and chat with their "friends" (regulars) while minimally and superficially attending to normal customers with a less sense of priority and urgency. I don't expect them to rush every single thing, but it was extremely obvious that the focus was to prioritize bar patrons over non-alcohol restaurant customers. Perhaps this is for profit reasons and if so, they should just be honest about it and separate bar staff from food waiters, like normal places do, or just simply be a bar place and not a pizza place. Also, the pizza making area is open and you can hear the workers every argument and discussion when it comes to wages, scheduling, next shift coverage, etc.. This is weird. At the price point of this pizza, I didn't think staff was being treated and paid so poorly. The vibe of the workers was just so "off", in general. The waitresses and waiters are very nice but often aloof and behave oddly. Like, is there something sketchy going on at this place? Are they on substances? Everyone is friendly but has no attention to detail, urgency or anything else. The last time we were here, it was very busy. But it took at least 1 hour to make 2 or 3 pizzas. The manager could tell we weren't happy. However, we didn't even know he was the manager as he didn't introduce himself properly but offered to comp our meal. This place gets 2 stars because of him and the delicious pizza . But if I ever come back, it'll just be order out by myself. The other person I came with absolutely hated the service and wait of this place and doesn't want to come back again.

She came back, took our orders and not to our surprise, it all came out perfect because she was very in tune when taking our orders. Several people checked on us throughout our dining experience. However, Alex, he stood out. He made sure to clean extra plates and glasses out of our way and made sure we were having a great time there.

The slaw portion was small, but really good. The fish and fries were well cooked and tasty. Compared to Sir Edmond Halleys - I would choose here.
