    Chicken Santorini Platter
    Arnie L.

    The one consistent in Charlotte since the early 1980's. George Couchell, Mr. "C", has done an amazing job. No matter which location I've eaten at I know what to expect and I get what I expected. They are one of the best values for casual dining in Charlotte. I'm not sure how he hires the best food service workers but he does.

    Showmars is a great spot with super fresh ingredients and fast, friendly service. They have fresh salads, juicy grilled chicken, THE BEST tzatziki sauce, gyro, pitas, cheeseburgers, fried chicken sandwiches, pasta salad, the list goes on. You'll get a lot for your dollar as their portion sizes are pretty substantial! They are "Greek Southern" in their approach to food. They offer a casual order-at-the-counter-and-grab-a-number style dining experience which makes it perfect for a quick lunch or dinner with a group. The staff come around and make sure your drinks are refilled. Showmars is our go-to spot and I think if you give it a try, you'll agree!

    This is a busy location, but they run very efficiently. It's a fast food, Mediterranean spot. You're able to get in and to get out. They have indoor and outdoor seating. There's plenty of parking spaces in the shared parking area. The staff were friendly I ordered a chicken pita. The temperature in textures were great, however, it was quite salty. If I am able to return, I will ask for no salt to be put onto the chicken. I hope your food tastes better than mine did. Who knows maybe somebody else will be working in the kitchen he won't be so heavy with the c

    Very clean tables!

    The food here was awesome! But just make sure not to sit near the window, it gets cold! The people working there were great! Steve was great taking my order and knew everything about the menu!

    When I think of Charlotte restaurants that are institutions in this region Showmars quickly comes to mind. They've been around for roughly 40 years and they continue to bring great food with a good variety of options ranging from burgers to Greek dishes to seafood. It was my son's first trip to the restaurant. He's a picky eater but he ate all of his food and loved it. Whether you're meeting with friends or family, if you're looking for good food served quickly, great service, and consistent quality, you will enjoy Showmars.

    I always love Showmar's. I have never had a bad experience at any location. I go to this one often because it's near work. I love the area and it's usually very easy to find a parking spot. Good customer service at this location every time. They have the best salads and cactus chili!! My favorite is the crispy chicken BLT salad with ranch. I get it by default. The pita is fresh and the tzatziki sauce is good to dip.

    Showmars has come a long way from the old-school version .... food was fresh, hot and tasty. I think Covid has made it even better honestly. The restaurant was clean, staff were attentive and we left quite pleased. I don't know what they do to their chicken, but it's always perfectly seasoned, tender and tasty. The fries are insane (and you GET A LOT OF THEM). you might want to plan on sharing. Hope that they continue to stay busy through this pandemic - this is one that I'd be heart broken to see shutter. The Mediterranean competitors that have popped up truly don't hold a candle to the tried and true Showmars.

    I love showmars greek salad with chicken. Always fresh and delicious. This location was wonderful too. I love watching the employees taking care of the elderly. They definitely went over and beyond regular customer service

    I have always loved Showmars. The burgers and flounder and salads have always been perfect. The burger I got today - chili burger, extra slaw- had very little chili . It also had cheese - which I did NOT request. It's a good thing I ordered extra slaw or I wouldn't have gotten any.... The fresh fruit was delicious! The fries, as usual, tasted like fried cardboard- nothing new there.. . The seats are awfully low for us short folks - remember to bring your "adult booster seat"! And bring a jacket! It's like an icebox! But- the people are friendly , the sanitation grade is great(97) , and everything appears clean. Some servers wear masks, some don't. It's quiet, for the most part, with some some calm classic oldies playing in the background. All in all, I still love Showmars.. improve the fries and put more chili, slaw, onions on the "old-fashioned CHILI burger" and it will be perfect!

    The food is good, served quickly by a very friendly staff! Fish and chips are good as are the burgers. Greek offerings include hummus.

    Yuminess: 10/10 Allergy Safety: 10/10…read morePrice: 9/10 Atmosphere: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Overall: LOVE Postino! The food is over the moon delicious with plenty of options and reasonable serving sizes. Even with the slightly high price point, it is well worth every penny. And they take allergies SO seriously! Literally went through a bunch of ingredients to find what would and wouldn't be dairy-allergy safe. Atmosphere is fun but cozy, too. 100% recommend! In-depth: Postino has quickly become one of my favorite places in the CLT area after my 10/10 experience here. To start, the food. My word, it's amazing! Everything my friend and I tried was delicious. The bruschetta is 100% worth trying (the spinach artichoke one is my favorite), and the west coaster panini + romaine salad was tasty at every bite. Their wine is also good quality, with a decent-sized portion poured. Allergy safety is a major thing for them, too. Our server (Lee = the best waitress!) and her manager looked through their bread and ingredients for about 30 minutes to confirm what was and wasn't dairy safe (I asked how dairy allergies are handled for when I bring my husband next time). They also had quite a few gluten-free options, too. The manager explained that she wants people to be able to just come in and relax for a few hours without worrying if they'll get sick, which I truly, truly appreciate. Lee shared a similar sentiment, which was amazing. Now price... Yes, it is a *bit* pricey, but it is well worth it. Nothing felt lacking as far as flavor goes, and the allergy safety is a huge thing. This is one of the few places I felt my sandwich and salad were worth every penny, even if it was $17. Also, their rewards program is great. I got a free bruschetta board, and they offer several other perks. Make sure to sign up before or while dining there to get some good deals! In addition to their sincere care for allergy safety, the service is fantastic all around. They do group service, meaning you'll have several servers, and they encourage you to grab anyone if you have questions. This takes the pressure off of waiting for one server to walk by and really helped me relax. And the atmosphere? I could stay there all day! It's a really fun vibe, but the lighting and seating are very cozy. Overall, I've already recommended this place to 5+ people and will be returning soon

    Postinos is located in the main strip of the "bowl" and near the AMP. Parking can be located on the…read morestreet or in the parking lot adjacent to the building. It currently offers free parking for 3 hours and incremental of 1- 2 hours paid parking after. My wife and I came here on a date night. While her original visit left more than be desired management invited us to give them a second try and I'm so glad we did. We had an amazing time from start to finish. The staff was amazing and I was astounded by their dedication to their craft. The best part was the food. We started with the chefs board which had an array of cheeses and spreads. The most memorable was the whipped feta. OMG. The Ambiance was the only thing I feel could use some tuning as there's not enough sound deadening to make the music out? It sounds like a heart beat and makes it hard to make out conversations. Major shout out to Leigh for taking care of us all night and making it a memorable night. Also big thanks to Odhie for the tickets to the concert. This was definitely a night to remember. Thank you Postinos Staff!
