Showmars is one of my go-to spots! Love this location. The food is always fresh, the staff is incredibly friendly, and the restaurant is consistently clean. The fish sandwich never misses and keeps me coming back every time. read more

Showmars - University - WORLD FAMOUS FISH SANDWICH w CALABASH SHRIMP PLATTER - Greek Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

What a great meal to have after a UNC Charlotte Football game. Showmars-University is located not too far from where Gus's used to be in the 1980's, which is where I first started eating American Pita and Gyro Burgers. Today, I had the American Pita Burger with French Fries, and Hybrid Sweet/Unsweet Tea The Counter and runner service was good. They play 80's tunes on radio. It is bug restaurant with lots of tables. Dining areas and restrooms are clean. read more

I visited this Showmars location today, and the experience was unacceptable from the moment I walked in. Instead of being greeted as a guest, the manager immediately told me there was "no public restroom," delivering the message with judgment rather than hospitality. Not once was I welcomed, acknowledged, or treated like a paying customer. I came in to dine and wait for an Uber after my car stalled, yet the manager seemed more concerned with policing restroom use than providing basic customer service. His priorities are clearly misplaced--especially considering this location is operating with a Mecklenburg County sanitation score of 93, far below industry standards. As someone who has spent 35 years in restaurant management, including 20 years as a district and general manager, I have never operated a restaurant with a score this low, nor one that sat nearly empty during peak lunch hours. Leadership sets the tone, and the tone here is clearly lacking. The assistant manager did step in and apologize, but the damage was already done. First impressions matter, and the judgmental attitude I received will be the lasting memory every time I see or hear the name Showmars. I fell in love with the brand during the COVID‑19 era thanks to the Matthews location, but this store is not led with the same standards, professionalism, or guest‑first culture. This experience marks the end of my patronage with Showmars. I encourage future guests to review this establishment's inspection history through the Mecklenburg County Health Department, especially since the issues noted in their recent inspection were not corrected despite the opportunity to do so. Industry standards are 97 and above, and this location is nowhere close. read more

For a Showmars the food I had was legitimately good. It was tasty fried well, and didn't have any unusual odors that would otherwise sour my meal. My okra was fried a little too soft for my tasting and it needed some salt but that wasn't a deal breaker. Same thing with my onion rings, not fried hard enough but the fish was really good. Service is fine, I ordered and got my food within 20 minutes. Nothing exceptional nor out of the ordinary in reference to my service. Deserved its 4/5 stars this last visit I went, pretty solid food. read more

This is my favorite Showmars. You can eat inside or take it to go. Their to go area is completly seperated from the rest of the resteraunt, which makes it very convenient for me to order and leave. read more

This is our goto spot on Friday. Came here with some coworkers today and got a warm greeting from Kim like always. She's is always in a happy mood and makes eating here very enjoyable. I had the old fashion pita burger and fried okra. The okra wee fried perfect with a great crust. The pita burger was melty and made just right. Is there food amazing, i would say its standard fair for a fast food place. But the service and the people working there is 5 star. From the servers to the take out people they all remember you and treat you like family. Would recommend if you like mediterranean/american fast food! read more

I had a DoorDash order and I ordered a turkey, bacon, ranch sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. The lettuce was intact and everything. read more

Point one, it's a typical Showmar's. Point two, that's a good thing as the chain has been typically solid no matter which outlet I've tried. The flounder sandwich has always been my go to with a gyro thrown in for variety every so often and I always enjoy either one. Service at this location has been friendly every single visit so add it all up and say "yay"! read more

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! read more

I love Showmars! I grew up eating here since I was a kid. I really love the salad in fried tortilla shell, only sold at select locations though. Fried flounder sandwich and okra are delicious as well. read more

Devonte was my server and hostess, he was amazing honestly never had such A+ service before. The food was great and the vibe was amazing

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. read more

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. read more

Ordered the baklava cheesecake. They sent one piece of baklava instead but still charged me for the full price of the cheesecake. Tried calling a total of 15 times! But line was "busy". The one time the call DID go thru...i was put on hold for 5 minutes. Absolutely ridiculous. The ONLY reason i ordered from here was for the cheesecake because the gyros are subpar at best! So annoyed right now read more

Fast and great service is how you get my score .. food taste great and I would recommend anyone to visit this location.

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. read more

The food is always good! The restaurant is clean and spacious. The customer service is excellent!!! I have to give a special shout out to Joe. I dropped my baby's pacifier and without hesitation he reached under the table to get it. Then he brought a cup of hot water so that I could sterilize it. He did all these things without me even asking! Now that's an example of going ABOVE & BEYOND!!! Great job to Showmars for having such a friendly crew! read more

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.

Good food. Great service. Very nice staff. World famous probably not. But definitely worth the stop.

Customer service is always great at this location. You can tell they care about their clients and their satisfaction. Whenever I have the slightest issue I am able to speak to a manager who shows great empathy and support. I've spoken to a few others in the past but the recent ones I can recall are Joe & Scott. Thank you both for being so great! The food itself is great. I absolutely love their fried fish sandwich. I add cheddar cheese, bacon, slaw, and the whole nine! The popcorn shrimp is delish. Love their backlava. Fries are good to be considered crinkle fries! I wish they stayed making the lemonade how it was before. They changed the recipe and it's not like it used to be (sad face). But I can never have anything negative to say about this place! I hope they stay around and multiple! Best food & service in university area that's a clean place, and one that always cooks food correctly, with a smile. That's a lot to say since the food in this area is bad and the service is even worse. Use their app so you can get rewards! read more

Showmars is a great choice if you're not in the mood to cook but you want good food. This restaurant offers a combination of Greek, American and Southern cuisine with lots of delicious options to choose from. They make the food fresh to order and bring it to your table piping hot. The runners and manager are very hands on, they stop at your table every few minutes to see if you need anything including an endless refill of your beverage (the half lemonade/half ice tea aka Arnold Palmer is amazing). The atmosphere at Showmars is very nice and you won't miss the game, because they have wall to wall televisions streaming the hottest sports games. The dinning room at the university city location is immaculate (the bathroom needed a little sweeping up). I'm looking forward to my next Showmars visit. read more

Firstly, I'd like to say this experience was amazing. The service started it all off on the RIGHT foot, literally no mistakes, constantly checking on our group and doing things to where we didn't even have to ask for anything. Probably the best service I've had from literally any restaurant ever (that's saying a lot). The food was delicious also I've been telling my mom about the experience for the last 24 hours and she was there with me. Highly recommended. read more

I so overlook Shomar's as a lunch option, but when I go I'm always glad I did. Gotta echo my little Yelp buddy Abby L who states, "The service is always speedy and good. The staff is nice . . . food is good, tastes fresh and served hot!" Bingo. What more could one want for a quick lunch either alone or with others? Easy in/out, plenty of parking and solid Greek/Southern-style food. I especially like their fish sandwich. Hot, flaky, and tasty on a toasted bun. I say, "Give 'em a whirl." Shomar's for lunch is a no brainer, in my book. read more

We stopped for lunch as we can always find something we like here at Shomars. The service is always good and the restaurant is always very clean! I tried the fish sandwich for the first time today. The tartar sauce is next level amazing and is what makes the sandwich so good! I was a little disappointed that the pieces of fish on the sandwich were not as meaty as the menu picture showed (but menu picture are always exaggerated, right?). The chili burger was good, not amazing, but is something to order another time if you're feeling it. The French fries were fresh and the perfect crispiness! Now, the cactus chili. So yes, it has pieces of what they will tell you if you ask is "edible cactus that adds sweetness". I did not like the chili, it was too sweet. I am not a liker of ANYthing spicy (I am a wimp) BUT sweet chili really shouldn't be a thing. I wish I hadn't gave ordered the bowl, they do have a cup size. A worker did offer to replace it with something else, which I appreciated. read more

Hello everyone I'm Tiffancy and thank you for choosing "A Fancy Review!" Just arrived in North Carolina today enjoying thanksgiving with family and friends. Ordered Showmars from door dash because we were HUNGRY after the drive and nobody making separate dinners because everyone cooking for Thanksgiving! Lol. Ordered the fish sandwich because it was the most popular order on the menu...sensational! Cole slaw was great wish it was larger. Ordered the homemade onion rings, devine! Also ordered the Mediterranean pasta salad that was also great should've ordered two! Everything was good ordered mini cheeseburger and fries for my kid and I took a bite of that too and it was pretty good! We order mac n cheese everywhere we go and that was good as well. Also hush puppies. I love trying places to eat that I don't have at home and now I can add showmars on the list for when I visit Charlotte again. Thank you! read more

I been going to this showmars for a while and i love the food but their customer service is going down hill.The lady Kim that they have picking up the phone is very unprofessional and rude on the phone and in the store too .She picks up the phone with attitude every time and sometimes put you on hold in the middle of you talking to her.Plus I went into the store to pick up my order she skip over twice and then looked at me.I have went into store and she yelling at coworker who are obviously younger then her in front of customers which is a bad image .If you want someone to represent your store they should learn how to talk to the customer. read more

Was introduced to this greek fast food chain by my coworker. It reminded me a lot of California's Daphnes chain. Was overwhelmed by their extensive menu, and they seem to be known for their burger in a pita (forgot what it's called). However, I was craving gyro meat, so got the gyro dinner plate which came with a side salad, pita, gyro meat, sauce, french fries, and a drink! It was about $10. Very quick in service, and I had 2 boxes to take with me to go! Tons of gyro meat, but it was a bit dry. Their pita is really good, I think they fry it, giving it that extra yumminess. I ended up making my own gyro with the veggies from the salad. Their fries were the crinkle cut kind, and it was good, but way too much! I couldn't even eat half my meal! They have the special ice, which they put a ton of, which means getting a refill when you pick up your food! Staff are all very friendly and courteous as well. Casual greek food. read more

Best customer service received from walking in the door until leaving. The restaurant is clean, food was order was also correct and fresh!

So this was my first time eating here, I told Maria about this being my first time visiting and if she had any advice. Of course she didn't. I asked for military discount and she was quick to say No. It always amazes me when I get a no without any reason. She was young this is a college town so I guess I will need to get use to lack of respect for soldiers. Place was clean the hello when you walk in is friendly and then it is straight to business with no personality. Maria thought it was more important to talk to her coworkers than take care of the customer. read more
