    Grilled chicken salad with onions, eggs, tomatoes and pita
    Yolanda W.

    Showmars has an expansive menu. Loved the grilled chicken salad. Plenty of seating, ample food menu choics for the most finicky eater. My cashier was nothing but kind, friendly and pleasant

    My family and I love this Showmars!!! They are always good. I have never had a bad meal from here. The staff are helpful and work fast. Here you can find the best fish sandwich I have ever had. I also think they have the best sweet tea. They also have a popcorn shrimp mini meal that is really filling. I use the app to order and it is usually ready by the time I arrive. Showmars is a great option for a good meal!

    Grilled chicken pita.
    Laurie I.

    This was the first time I've been to Shomars. I didn't go into the restaurant, so this review is based on my food alone. I had the grilled chicken pita, which included a grilled chicken breast with lettuce, tomatoes and tzatziki sauce. I also had a side of hummus with pita. It was all average. Not great but not bad. My grilled chicken was a little dry with not much flavor, and I wasn't in love with the taste of their hummus. I don't recall any tomatoes on my pita, but hubby might have asked them to hold the tomatoes when he ordered it for me. And I didn't get pita triangle pieces with my hummus, just another piece of pita bread, but it was okay. Overall, it was average. I might return again and try something different that may be a little more flavorful.

    First time going here and not gonna lie I was a little disappointed. First and foremost the service here is awesome! Everyone is so nice and eager to help, from the guy behind the counter to the woman bussing tables. I asked for recommendations for what to order and was told the fish sandwich is the best item with Cole slaw and tartar sauce, so that's what I got. The sandwich had lots of fish on it, but there was absolutely no flavor to it at all (even with the tartar sauce, slaw, and hotsauce.) The fries were fine, just needed salt and Ketchup. My friend got the chicken pita and hers looked amazing so if I go back I will try that. We also had the fried okra...not a huge fan, mostly because of the texture. The place has ample parking and service is pretty quick if you are looking for a quick bite.

    Double cheese burger with a side of fried okra- very good

    The menu made me chuckle- fried fish and gyros. It was one of those things I had to see. My coworker and I were looking for a lunch spot and the variety of the menu looked like it was going to be a hit. It a spot where you order at the counter and there is a large men on the side wall as you wait in line. We moved out of the way looking at the specific menu items before walking up to the cashier. We're given our drinks and a number to place on the table. The cashier was lovely and when I asked if the place was a chain, she proudly shared "we have 33 locations!" The food was deliver to the table by a very cheerful employee and she came by the table a couple times offering refills and to clear the table. Heads up- it is a P-e-p-s-i restaurant. Much more popular in the Charlotte area than I remembered. It wasn't the best food I had ever had- no one needs that rice to veggie and grilled chicken ratio. I may try something else when I return.

    I don't tent to eat at showmars often, but that needs to change, it's always so good! I normally get one of their pita burgers, but I've never had anything from here that wasn't really good. The menu selection is good, the service is always fast and friendly, and the restaurant is clean and well maintained.

Well , after a round of "what do want " I don't know..... what do you want ? We decided on visiting the Crafty crab. After all , you can't go wrong with seafood right ? Boy were we wrong . When we walked in we were serenaded by " Pop that coochie" from the 2 live crew . We were seated and ordered . I was then told what I ordered wasn't available and the menu didn't reflect that . Ok , no problem so I went with a Po boy fish sandwich and the wife got a boil to share with the daughter . The Po boy came out really fast , like too fast and so I was like ok let's see what this is all about . The bun was refrigerator cold and the "fish" was more breading than fish and had an awful oil tinge to it . A fish filet could have beat it. The wife didn't even finish eating as she said it was awful. Besides the "ambiance " Tran's the food , I'd say the soft drink was the best thing and the server was cool as well . No thank you crafty crab. When I got home I had a feeling of nausea and kept trying to wash it away with anything I could keep down .

Despite it being packed, we were seated immediately because we said we would take an outdoor table. As soon as the server came to our table to take our drink order, we made sure to order our food too. After this interaction, we never saw her again until the bill. Other employees ended up dropping off our drinks & food. I ordered 1/3 rack of the St. Louis Style ribs. It came with two sides. I chose French fries and chips & guacamole. Chips & guacamole was considered a premium side so they charged an extra $4. It took about 20 minutes for us to get our food after we ordered. This wasn't a bad wait considering how busy the restaurant was. Food was decent and the location was nice as it was on the water. The absolute best part of the whole dining experience was the music. Whoever was controlling the playlist that night deserves a raise. It was peak millennial, throwback to the Disney Channel days music. There was a ton of parking as the restaurant is located in a big shopping center. I would definitely go here again, but if there is a concert nearby that night, I would recommend getting there early.

We walked the boardwalk after dinner, nice bonus. Spacious patio as well as plenty of indoor seating with half booths, low tables as well as high top tables. Full service bar. Food: yummy! They brought out two cornbread muffins while we waited for our orders. Nice and sweet. For an appetizer we got the everything green dip. Five stars! Comes with tortilla chips. I was almost full so for my meal I got a side of seafood Mac n cheese and a side of mixed vegetables. I still didn't eat all of my food. Nice portion sizes. The side of Mac was $9 the entree of Mac was $26. If I go back and get the entree I would definitely share it. Sooooo good, nice and creamy and cheesy, huge pieces of shrimp. My friend got the turkey wings. I watched the meat fall off the bone as she ate. She got garlic parmesan. She liked the dip so much she ordered the greens as a side. You get two with your entree. Ambiance: great music! R&B vibe. It was kind of challenging to carry a conversation so I would not pick this as a romantic date spot. Quite a few stairs outside as well as inside fyi. Service: the only reason I'm not giving 5 overall stars is the service. Some staff were clearly hustling and others not so much. We asked for our table to be wiped down and the busboy who was supposed to come never did and we eventually just switched tables. Our server was super sweet and accommodating, just a little forgetful. After two asks for some things we just let it go. It was a very busy Thursday evening though. She was working very hard and professional. Great suggestions from her from the menu. The busboy popped up as we were finishing our meal. We saw him again as we were leaving. He was out back hanging out with other workers. Which explains why our server couldn't find him and the table never got wiped down. Overall I would return. I really liked the vibe. Good energy. People were happy and having fun. Food is wonderful, very well seasoned with flavor and I want to try more things. Hopefully some staffing decisions will have been made by then to provide consistent service because eventually that will be a turn off for me.

However that's where the good experience ended. Took literally 20min for a waiter to even come over, in spite of seeing at least 3 different workers come out to help patrons who were seated already and eating. A couple that got seated right after me was waiting just as long. When a waitress finally came out to get my order, I wanted a drink but opted for just water because I didn't have time to be waiting even longer for refills that prob would never come on a paid drink. I went ahead and placed my order too because again, didn't need anymore time passing, especially since I had been sitting for 20min anyway had plenty time to figure what I wanted. She takes my order and immediately goes back inside, leaving the couple who came after me still waiting to even get a cup of water or any acknowledgement. It's like they can't multitask or something. I literally saw abt 4 different waiters on that small patio coming and going so couldn't for the life of me figure out what the hold ups were. Anyways only brunch was served at that time so I opted for the chicken and waffles. It was good but I think $16 for two small wings and a waffle a bit much, but everything is expensive these days. The food didn't take long to come out after I ordered. It was advertised as coming with warm maple syrup. But nope cold syrup in small lil cups. Again since I waited so long to even be served i didn't have the patience to wait for some warm syrup. Overall food was just ok, nothing to make me want to go running back for. And my waitress never even came back to check on me until it was time to bring the check. SMH. They have a lot of work to do on customer service.
