feels like a place trying to be everything at once--and unfortunately not doing any one thing particularly well. It's part college bar, part live music venue, part sports bar with golf simulators, and part wing/grill restaurant. The concept sounds fun on paper, but in practice it comes across dated and unfocused. The food was the biggest disappointment. I went in expecting solid bar food--nothing fancy, just reliable wings and fried staples. What arrived was inconsistent at best. Two wings were undercooked, and one wasn't even battered on one side. At first I assumed it was frozen food quality, but it honestly felt more like a lack of kitchen consistency and oversight. If you're hungry, the food is edible, but it's not something I'd go out of my way for. Service didn't help the experience. The bartender spent a noticeable amount of time sitting at a table socializing rather than checking on guests, which made the place feel inattentive despite not being overwhelmingly busy. The atmosphere clearly caters to the college crowd, and to be fair, I can see why students would enjoy it--drinks, music, and a casual hangout spot. It's probably not going out of business anytime soon because it fills that niche. But if you're expecting a polished sports bar, quality grill food, or a standout dining experience, this likely won't meet those expectations. After reading other reviews, the "hit or miss" reputation seems accurate. My recommendation: stop in for a beer first. If the vibe is good that night, stay. If not, cash out and move on. If wings are your goal, there are better options in town. Overall, not terrible--but definitely lackluster and not a destination spot. read more

The service was great and Olivia was very attentive. The garlic parm flappers were delicious! The pulled pork fries were decent but not my favorite. We will definitely be going back. read more

I always for the most part get the wings and a salad Food is always good I will say this the restrooms needs some work Other than that better place to go in Terre Haute 5 stars in bathrooms were in good condition read more

Service depends on the waitress. Some are a lot better than others! I watched my beer sit on the end of the bar for 10 minutes before someone other than my waitress, brought it to me. Then, when the waitress brought my bill, I was overcharged! Food is not worth the hype. Definitely not a place to go unless you are a local. Outsiders are treated like crap. Could be a nice place. read more

SERVICE: Unless you're a regular who sits at the bar every afternoon, good luck. Real training and management issues. QUALITY: Prices on food aren't bad, but you only get what you pay for. Show Me's is a knock-off of a knock-off concept. Think C-quality frozen food. SURROUNDINGS: It's a pole barn. The jukebox doesn't work... and nobody cares. MANAGEMENT: Owners and operators seem to be MIA... and are reportly from totally different industries, which may explain a lot. read more

I'm from terre haute and use to come to this place quite often for peoples birthdays and other occasions. I joined the military a little over a year ago and got to come back home to visit some friends. Was asked for my id and gave the waitress my military id and she was confused since she was newer and I understood that so she wanted to go check with the manager on it. She came back and let me know "my military id don't mean shit here" was his exact words. Completely disgusted with this place and will NEVER give them my service again and will continue to relay that this establishment doesn't care for the military community and should be ashamed of their management. Outraged!! read more

worst burger ever. tasted like the burger from the cafeteria in grade school. the beef smelled old. if was awful. service was less than stellar. she was nice but really slow. but the burger was absolutely terrible. one of 5 worst burgers of my life. read more

Food was fantastic! Plenty of TVs to watch what ever game you wanted. Veronica was a rock star. She was prompt and attentive. We were there on a Sunday night and it was pretty packed. She manned the bar and several tables single handedly. What an amazing multitasker. Watching her was quite entertaining. While Veronica was busting her tail off, one of her co-worker was sitting down at tables with guests (young gentlemen) and chatting away. I hope you don't pool tips at this establishment because one worker is clearly not pulling her weight. I wanted to post pictures of her sitting down on the job but thought that may violate her identity. Seriously in the 4 hours we were there I saw her serve drinks to one table and food to one other. read more

Great service and food. The pulled pork fries were very good. The fries were amazing. It's not hard to make good fries but these were made perfect. read more

Love the wings. Service is generally good. Beer is cold. What else could you want? Hot waitress? Got em.

Didn't know anything about this place, but a coworker thought we should try it. Ordered the cajun burger lunch special. Curious how they could serve a burger lunch for $6. Not very well is the answer. Really cheap burger patty is the heart of the issue. More akin to a fast food burger than what is typical for a casual dining eatery. The cajun seasoning was at least 50% salt, and just dried out the already salty burger. Lettuce and onion were limp. The server did a decent job keeping our glasses filled, and actually brought us extra water glasses. Great idea. . . maybe she tried the cajun burger and knew what I was in for. ;) I'll just refrain from discourse on objectification, the Gaze, and history of women in the service industry and just say I've had a better burger than what I found at Show-Me's. read more

My place of business has going away gatherings here all the time. Have been to several and had my grandkids there with me before, this time They refused to allow us in. The area is reserved by us and only has our staff back there and again all the sudden want to enforce a 21 and over allowed only rule, unacceptable when you haven't in the past!! read more

Loosing my granddaughters I'd on her 21 st Birthday ruined it for me ! How Does This Even Happen Folks? We won't be going back

What a great sports bar. Burger Monday, taco Tuesday and boneless wings on Wednesday. This place has a great staff and a great selection of food and beers. The bartenders are friendly and fast to supply refills. Huge outdoor patio. This is a great place to meet up with friends. Ask Jessi and Missy for a dirty martini read more

Food is actually okay. I can honestly say I have cravings for their food, at times. The service has always been good with my homegirl (I really don't know her, but I think her name is Kylee) at the side bar. She takes care of her area....everyone in her area. She remembered my drink after my first time here. She checks in as she's walking up and down the bar. She even stopped by today to say hey and see if I was drinking my usual drink. Today, the one time I sat at the main bar (because I came too early for the side bar), was a terrible experience! The bartender, Isabella (I think), paid absolutely NO ATTENTION to anyone in her section (the bar and the few tables right next to the bar) except this group of dudes. She sat on the cooler to be able to chat with them more comfortably. They got several rounds while I was there. I sat there attempting to make eye contact (and intentionally not calling out to her) to see how long it would take to get her attention. It was 18 min after I got my food before she even thought to look my way. All I wanted was a glass of water! The next time I was checked on...25 min after that! Another 20 before I got attention to ask for my check. While I want to make this a me thing, ALL other groups in her section looked pissed. They all had to ask for their checks and beg for any attention. Now look, I know I'm a minority in there (in several different categories), but damn. Lesson learned for me: Make sure to sit between anyone with a penis. Lesson for her: You never know who tips well. I don't want to rate low because of one experience, but I wanted to share my thoughts. read more

We were listening to a band and the manager cut us off from alcohol for no reason. They said we had 6 drinks and we were done. Ridiculous!

A group of us went for our 40th birthdays.... mostly girls, and a few husbands. We sat and waited for almost 20 minutes, watching servers walk past us over and over until one of us finally went to get a server. Who forgot half of our drinks, half of our food and then disappeared again while we waited another 30 minutes for the check. I read the yelp reviews and most of them said, "if you have boobs, don't expect service".... THEY WERE SO RIGHT. And these girls were no where near as hot as my 40 year old friends! THIS PLACE WAS THE WORST! IF YOU'RE A WOMAN GO SOMEWHERE ELSE read more

This place seems like a knock off of Hooters, yet their wings aren't as good. Everything in this places just feels cheap, except maybe a few of the drink prices. There are plenty of TVs for sport viewing, pool tables, and even a stage for bands. I can see why some may like the atmosphere as some of the girls working here have a lot hanging out for a good view, yet others are a little more modest in skin tight clothing. The food is nothing special and down right questionable at times. There doesn't seem to be a standard at all, as in depending on the day or night you'll have many different experiences here based on who is your server or bartender as well as who is cooking the food in the back. Again just basic bar food here to soak up the beverages as either the TVs or girls entertain you. read more

Food was terrible which is a shame because the atmosphere was great. I ordered naked wings in hot sauce with blue cheese and tater tots. The wings were tiny, the sauce was nonexistent, and the blue cheese was like colored water with a few chunks of cheese thrown in. The tots were fried to point there was no "tater" just deep fried crust. The waitress was only half engaged and had to be waived down on 2 separate occasions to get her attention. Needless to say I won't be going back anytime soon. That being said I could really enjoy the place if just stopping in for a beer and not there to eat. The decor was great, the noise level was conversational, the bar was awesome, and the entire place was sparkling clean. Go there to meet friends for drinks and watch a game, just don't go hungry (and sit at the bar rather than wait for a waitress) read more

My son and I came to watch a football game. My wife dropped us off so she and my youngest could shop during the game. We ordered appetizer and dinner. I had beer, he had lemonade. After the 1st half they had a busboy come talk to me about driving home with children. I assured him that my son is old enough that I am an experienced parent and would NEVER EVER put my babies in harms way. I had my wife (completely sober) coming to pick us up. They denied my beer request. I was never "rowdy", I wasn't slurring my speech, and we were very courteous and polite. They obviously don't care about individuals and think they can just do whatever they want. With consumers not taking a stand they can, but you should think twice about this dump. There are better places in Terre Haute. Be carefule of the owner, she is not friendly read more

This place is amazing, it has the best wings in town, the service here is absolutely amazing as well too, they have a lot of preferences in food but I go for their Asian Garlic Wings that are delicious. I go about every week I can. Definitely recommending any of my friends who are out of town to come here and try the food. read more

Must stop when I'm in town for business. Food is hot and fresh. Great specials. In general just a great place to catch a game

I was recently out in Terre Haute for a diesel truck show. Looking for some lunch before getting started with the day's activities, we decided to check this place out. The place appears to be in a former warehouse, and the environment itself appears between that of a Hooters and that of a Rooster's. It had your normal grub for this type of establishment, wings, burgers, fried items, salads, you name it. There was also a full bar but we did not take advantage of it. The food itself was serviceable, not too bad actually. The waitresses were definitely something that I appreciated looking at hungry and hungover. All in all, this was a pretty solid pick. Word is that there is one of these in metro Cincinnati, and I will definitely have to check that location out. If I'm in Terre Haute in the future, I will definitely try to stop in again! read more

I'd go to ShowMes over Hooters or any other female-skimpy-clothing sports bar, every time. Best things ShowMes has is the wings, fries & beer. Throw in the TV's & projectors everywhere and you got a great place. Service does lack. But! As a person who has been here plenty of times you just gotta know how to handle it. 1) go in and make sure you order food or a drink right away. That way a waitress will be coming back in short order. 2) if you want a refill or need service, don't hesitate to raise your hand for a girl, or even visit them at their little expedite area. 3) plan for the worst, hope for the best. I've had painfully slow experiences (slow service, slow food), and I've had amazing experiences (top-notch service, quick food). Just depends on the day. Favorite place in town for Wings. Way better than BW3's, Hooters, Tilt-a-kilt, you name it. Their fries are some of the best too. My tip, go during the weekday@ lunch. $7.99 for 10wings & fries. And you can get a loyalty card. Six lunch purchases and the 7th is free. Hooters doesn't have that. read more

Better service and scenery this time around. The loaded nachos were good, but could have used more sour cream. Just my preference. Since when do uniformed city officers do the door at a private establishment? read more

They have great wings and good prices, check it out. read more

We were passing through town and saw this restaurant. It didn't take us long to decide we wanted to go here for dinner n drinks. We have not eaten at this Show Mes but there used to be one in our neighboring town of Carbondale. We have missed it! I highly recommend the chicken wing Rangoon. Our bartender Alexis was fantastic!! She made countless drinks while we ate and was able to keep up with the high demand of mixed drinks and had a nice conversation with us. I'm a big fan of margaritas and she made them without using a mix. Margaritas made by her were fantastic! 5 stars and two thumbs up!! read more

Great food, great time. The girls are fun to hang with. I was actually pretty impressed with the beer selection. Sure the "locals" were mostly bottles but they did have a few Fountain Square beers on draft. Tayler, the bartender I chatted with was upbeat and easy to chat with. I also had a blackened burger, which was a cajun style burger. I also got to try a few local-ish beers. A couple were from Evansville and were actually pretty decent. I was impressed overall. I'd driven by a few times, so I'm glad I finally stopped in. read more

I gave Show-Me's one star because I couldn't rate it any lower. The service was terrible. After waiting more than twenty minutes after coming in for a waitress, we eventually got one after waving one down. Then after another ten minutes we finally received our beers. But the waitress couldn't tell which beer was which. That happened twice. Her comment on the mixed up beers was, "It doesn't matter, they taste the same." One member of our party ordered garlic Parm wings, which she'd ordered here previously. She got an order of regular wings with medium sauce. When she asked the waitress about the order she took it back and brought back the same wings covered in powdered Parmesan cheese. We were told that's how Show-Me's did their garlic parm wings. It's curious that's not the way they were the first time. I'm not sure which is worse....a waitress who should find another occupation or a kitchen staff who should Google how garlic Parm wings are prepared. read more
