    Cheery decor

    Yet another absolutely delicious meal from Showmars! We have started getting the salad with salmon and two kids meals that offer so much food . The cactus chili was absolutely delicious. First time trying it today. Our order was correct and absolutely delicious and packed well.

    First time here. I had the Greek salad with grilled chicken. My friend had the beyond Pita burger. Everything was good. The pita bread is delicious. You order at the counter and they bring you the food. Service is ok.

    Fresh & Filling! Ironically, I love a fish sandwich with cheese from Showmars (not pictured) tater sauce on the side please ‍. Recommend a thousand times over!

    Sort of a fast food place with a diner atmosphere. This place makes you full without feeling bloated. The taste is different than traditional American food but still quite tasty and it seems to breathe healthy into your mind and body. The amount of food is a lot per serving, therefore you could make 2 meals out of the one. The service was good as well as the different options on the menu. Try the Greek food if you haven't done so, you might be pleasantly surprised.

    Another visit, time for an update. The food remains delicious. Order at the counter, food is delivered to the table. Fast, friendly service, excellent follow up to make sure the food is right, refill drinks, etc. THANK YOU! Salads are prepared to order. Ingredients are fresh and crisp, dressing is tangy and tart. Gyro meat freshly sliced, moist and savory and a generous portion. Pita is warm, conveniently sliced in quarters and prefect for dipping in tzatziki. For as many times as I've been here, never tried anything other than a Greek salad or a gyro. Maybe next time I'll branch out?? Good stuff - I'll definitely be back.

    First visit. I only ordered a flounder sandwich with no sides to go. Incredible! Seasoned perfectly, piping hot, breaded the way that I like with a great fish to bun ratio. Adequate amount of tartar sauce. The bun was soft and fresh. My new place to visit even if only for fish sandwiches. Eager to try other things on the menu. Lastly, all workers wore masks and customers were socially distanced. Safe environment.

    See all

    We live in North Raleigh but regularly do our shopping in Wake Forest because it's so convenient,…read moreand once we're there, everything is close by, including lunch. The two of us eat at Over the Falls regularly and always enjoy it. I'm honestly surprised I hadn't written a review before. Lunch for two came to $65.80 + tax and tip, and there was more than enough food. I ordered one of my two favorites: the Ahi Tuna Pita (the other favorite is the blue cheese burger). I paired it with a side salad and blue cheese dressing, plus an unsweetened iced tea with lemon. My wife ordered The Barrel, their Philly cheesesteak, with a side of sweet potato fries. We also shared an order of house-made potato skins. It was far too much food, in a good way, and we took plenty home. Service was outstanding and truly a team effort. One moment stood out: when my wife hesitated to ask for sour cream for the potato skins, our server immediately said, "It's just 15 steps, let me get it for you." That small gesture made a big difference. The rest of the team was equally warm, friendly, and attentive. The ambiance works perfectly for us, lively, busy, and welcoming without feeling chaotic. I would be confident ordering virtually anything from the menu. We'll keep coming back.

Whether you sit inside or out, you will feel cozy and relaxed while you eat delicious food!

The Norwegian-inspired menu is full of hearty and flavorful items. Our opener of Loaded Beer-Cheese Tots paired with a couple of co-owner/Brewmaster Brad Wynn's brewed on-site beers was heavenly. You MUST sample several of his creations, and take a moment to see the incredible brewery that is a huge part of the experience - his wife Lynn gave us a quick and amazing tour of the brewery, see pics. I had the Viking Burger, a carnivorian delight made from elk, bison, boar and wagyu meats and a half Norwegian salad that had us swooning with pleasure - a full salad would be a satisfying main vegetarian entree. Paul's Wisconsin Brat was so good, gonna hafta to have that during our next visit. The award-winning structure is a joy - 2 levels, dog-welcoming al fresco dining available front and back - and the downstairs bar where regular events occur - just amazing! Regular events include Thursday Night Trivia, as well as stand-up comedy and murder mystery nights. An ongoing calendar of events that are easy on the pocket, making a full night of food and fun for all. Check their website - wakeforest.norsebrewingco.com - for all the details.

    Once again, I am always willing to give restaurants a chance to prove me wrong... and once again,…read morethey have failed. My motto is simple: if you can't see the smoker and smell the smoke, the BBQ is going to be bad. This place is no different. My family ordered the pork belly burnt ends, pork ribs, chicken Philly, and smoked mac and cheese. Let's start easy--the mac and cheese. My grandparents used more salt and pepper in their mac and cheese than this place did. The only ingredients seemed to be noodles and cheese. What happened to flavor? Spices? Maybe some paprika, cayenne pepper... jeez, something. However, as a bit of a warning sign, the mac and cheese had more wood smoke flavor than anything else they served. Next, the ribs. Some people believe in the 3-2-1 method--I'm not a fan, but it can work. These people must believe in the 1-2-3 method: 1 hour smoked on a Traeger, 2 hours wrapped, and 3 hours cooked on high heat in the oven uncovered. That's the only way I can figure out how you end up with jerky-dry ribs. Not only were they dry, they didn't have any flavor. The chicken Philly was dry--my wife hated it. The pork belly burnt ends actually looked great--nice cube size, good presentation--but biting into them was a different story. Chewy, bland, and dry. I honestly don't know how you manage to do that with pork belly. Really disappointing experience overall.
