    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.

As a…read morebusiness their specialty is made to order charcuterie boards and they boast a large selection of locally sourced cheeses and meats. Inside however they also have a market featuring lots of local products, and a sit down cafe serving up salads and toasted sandwiches. I came in here on a quiet Sunday afternoon and we elected to sit outside in their walled in patio area. It was a pleasant place to sit and our service was prompt and friendly. For my sandwich I chose the turkey chipotle bacon without the tomatoes. The sandwich tasted great and the bread was toasted nicely. If I have one complaint it's that for $14.00 I think the sandwich could have been a bit bigger, or maybe I was just too hungry because I scarfed it down in an instant! Still the chips that accompanied it were a good snack and I enjoyed my meal. This is definitely a good spot to grab a lunch, I wish I had more time and I would have enjoyed the opportunity to browse their market. Matthews has a lot of great locally owned spots and this is for sure one of them.

I grew up eating Mexican food and have a thing for finding best flavor and quality for food. I knew I wanted to try a bbq place hear as I've heard such great things and let me tell you I was absolutely blown away! Lately things have been so pricey and feel like you get hidden fees or 20% of service on top of tip and a whole bunch of weird extra charges so obviously going out to eat has been more challenging as you pay more but get less. This place was the absolute opposite of that! We came here twice before we had to fly out to Minnesota. First time we tried the tray of meats and boy was that special. First of the brisket was delicious! But our server recommended the turkey and that was the juiciest most flavorful turkey I've ever had in my life! The sides were amazing and something I never had before was a slaw that had acidity with vinegar and it paired so well. I ordered a Twinkie for the first time and let me tell you I won't see a jalapeño the same again. In Mexican food we have them a lot but never this way and now I'm determined to try to make the more. At the end of our meal our server asked if we wanted dessert and guess wha it was ABSOLUTELY COMPLIMENTARY!! WHATTT?!? And not just like a scoop of ice cream different options of COBBLLERRRR!!! We did not see that coming and it was absolutely delicious! The second time we came I tried the fried okra and that was my first time it blew me away! I also had the potatoe that was loaded and wowowowowo so much flavor and deliciousness. Give it was our last time I got the Twinkie again and it did not disappoint! I wish this place success and that they continue to expand and maybe pray they come to MN. The place is clean and they have a lot of seating and food was incredible.
