This is, by far, the best Showmars around! Always greeted with a smile when I walk in the door. Staff is friendly and helpful. Food is always delicious! Alec and his crew do an amazing job! My co-workers and I eat here weekly, sometimes twice a week! LOVE this place! read more

Stopped here for a quick pickup lunch order. Food is always great at Showmars, so not disappointed. Service was great as well. Attentive staff as soon as I walked in. Ordered online in the way, and it was prepared and came out quickly. Located on East Blvd and plenty of parking available for the location. Plenty of seating inside as well, with bright menus and lights around. Great place...give them a try if in the area! read more

I was craving a fish sandwich and decided Showmars was the way to go. I went to the Dilworth location. Was not so busy, and I was able to find parking right away. They do have a parking lot right in front, so it makes it easier. The sandwich was delicious, but I do wish that I ordered extra tarter sauce as it did feel a bit dry to me, but none the less it was still delicious. I got fries, and they were good also. They were not the best fries in town, but it definitely did the trick. Overall, it satisfied my craving. Everyone was super nice and very efficient. Did not wait long to receive my order and was in and out in less than an hr, which is perfect for me since my lunch break isn't that long. I'm looking forward to going back. read more

Unpretentious Mediterranean/greek style food. I ordered the Gyro wrap combo, and everything arrived piping hot and relatively fresh. The fries crinkle cut fries were crisp, and the wheat pita was soft and supple as well. The gyro meat was pretty good, although there was definitely a heavy pour of the tzatzdiki sauce which insured the flavor a bit All in all a fine lunch experience, you get exactly what you pay for hear, nothing too fancy, but sometimes you don't want or need that, especially on an average Monday lunch excursion. read more

This place has a nice set up. You can sit outside and admire all of dillworth while eating your food. I ordered the grilled chicken pita wrap and was offered the option to have a wheat pita. You get a number and the food is delivered to you. My food was ready within minutes. The portions are generous. 1 combo meal and one regular pita came to about $21. My husband and I enjoyed our food and would consider coming back if in the area. Also a bonus- this place has a pretty good sized parking lot for the area. read more

I'm not sure what has happened to this location, we used to love coming here for lunch, but the quality, service, really everything, has greatly diminished. I am a creature of habit and always get the chicken pita, but this time, it had an overwhelming fish smell, and was super bland seasoning wise. Bland to the point where I had to go back and ask for salt and pepper. It also only had a tiny dollop of Tzatziki sauce, which led me to ask for more sauce (which was given - begrudgingly). My salad was all lettuce hearts, and one measly piece of cucumber. The whole meal was a disappointment. We got my daughter the grilled cheese pita, and I don't think they even bothered to throw it on the grill to melt the cheese. The perfect squares were just barely melted - I think more from the heat lamp waiting for the food to be delivered than anything else. Also, some of her french fries were still frozen in the center. The restaurant itself also just wasn't clean. The tables were cleaned up after guests left, and they still had a Christmas tree up - but with a few decorations on it for Valentine's Day. Overall, I was extremely disappointed in this visit and might take a lot for me to come back again. read more

We visited Showmars in Dilworth bc it is in the hood and has a patio so we could take our fur children. I walked in to get a menu and was promptly greeted and offered menus to take outside. My husband ordered a fish sandwich with an order of onion rings, and I opted for the Gyro. And 2 Mythos beers. Our beers were promptly brought out and food shortly after. Very friendly service and the food was just delicious. If you only go for the Onion Rings, that is enough! They are delicious! We loved it for a quick and easy meal. read more

Great place. Always friendly customer service. Conveniently located off of East Blvd and has ample parking around it. read more

Every now and then I crave chicken salad, and it HAS to be the chicken salad pita from Showmars. Their chicken salad is seasoned well with no fruit mixed in (grapes do not go with chicken, I said what I said), and has the perfect amount of crunch. read more

Had lunch here many times. This Showmars location always serves good food, freshly made, no matter what you order. Staff is friendly and helpful. read more

This is one of the very few places in Charlotte I am going to miss! My roommate and I get take out from Showmars and at this location once a month or every six weeks -ish. Every single time we are satisfied. The staff is always friendly, at least in comparison to other staff in Charlotte. And the restaurant is always clean with a positive vibe. I haven't received a meal from here that I didn't thoroughly enjoy, although we usually get the chicken blt salad to split! It's really delicious, and I highly recommend it read more

Everybody loves Showmars, and it shows. I just love to have lunch here. The food is amazing and the staff is friendly, hopefully this is a sign they treat their employees well. I love the All American Pita burger and the Santorini wrap. Their food is always fresh, flavorful, and delicious. I always leave full and happy. Showmars is a Charlotte favorite. Southern meets Greek in their truly crave-able cuisine. If you have never been, you're missing out. If you haven't been in a while, get in here and have a delicious meal that is comfort food plus. read more

Yes, it's Showmars. But what I have found is there are certain locations that are better than others. This Showmars, located on East Blvd, is just okay. I have always been a fan of their Chicken Gyro and several other items, but I never think they taste as good here. Service can be hit or miss, but unfortunately most of the time they have an attitude or aren't very friendly. I like that it is convenient to my house, and I like that they offer a variety of items of enjoy. One thing I will say is the Fries never disappoint! read more

Every time I stop in here the folks here just knock it right out of the park, EVERY TIME!!! Everything on the menu is delicious and always served in a timely fashion. I just had the Gyro Pita with the Mediterranean Pasta as a side-I highly recommend it, very tasty indeed. read more

Typically, I'm not a fan Greek cuisine; however, the integration of American classics has made this restaurant one of my go-tos. I'm especially fond of the American Classic gyro. Portion sizes are hearty and don't leave you feeling sluggish or overly stuffed. read more

Visiting for the weekend and was told that Showmar's is a local chain and worth checking out. Here are the pros and cons: Pros: 1. The restaurant was extremely clean. 2. The staff was very helpful and kind. 3. They bus your table for you. 4. The food was ready very quickly. Cons: 1. The food itself isn't anything to write home about. 2. The Greek aspect of the restaurant isn't a very authentic representation. I ordered the chicken pita, what I would consider to be a staple at the restaurant, and just wasn't very impressed with it. There wasn't anything necessarily bad about it, but it was kind of mediocre meal. The fries weren't anything special either. If you need a quick meal, Showmar's is a good option for their speed and kind staff, but if you're hoping to experience a unique chain local only to Charlotte, then you might be better satisfied with a different choice. read more

Showmars - Charlotte - Greek Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

1st time here and enjoyed it. The place was clean and the faces were friendly. I ordered the fish with fries and fruit. I ate everything except the cantaloupe, not a fan at all. Lol. Will certainly be visiting again. Only hiccup was the staff was not familar with the word "deveined" I wanted to order the shrimp only if it was deveined. They offer table service as well once seated, which is a nice touch. read more

I have always loved Shomars but I might be a little biased since I worked there in college :-)...I have eaten everything on the menu and they have multiple locations throughout the Charlotte area. The food is delicious, the prices are reasonable and the staff is always friendly...the calabash shrimp and the grilled chicken chef salad is the bomb!! read more

Great staff and as always great food. Very surprised that they now serve beer and wine (it's been about 14 months since last visit). Love the renovations and they have $1.00 off all beer and wine! They are fancy now with a hostess too! They "lost" my togo order. Was thinking about waiting a while again before returning. But they made things right without asking! Added an extra salad and shrimp entree!!! Thanks Showmars, Love you even more! Wonder if they did that because I had my phone out, yelp app open and taking pics?...I don't care thanks for doing the right think and doing so without me asking!!! read more

Showmars is always a great choice. It''s one of my favorite places for a quick and cheap bite to eat when I am in the Carolinas. Service is always quick and friendly. Love that they come around for refills! read more

I lived in Charlotte for three years before trying Showmars b/c I was under the impression that it was ghetto but I was so wrong. They have great specials each day and you really can't beat their chicken salad pita or gyro (better than some that I had at Speed Street this past yr). Service is quick and you get your food almost right away, which is a huge plus in my book. Great value! read more

Went on a Monday at @ 4-5 pm and went up to makeshift counter with Employee, menus, etc and placed a to-go order of the Greek Style Chicken dinner with two side items. I waited in the car for the food. It was brought out to me quickly and I drove home and had dinner. The chicken was extremely moist and flavorful. The sides were delicious too! It was reasonably priced and I recommend it highly! read more

Bad experiences at places like Ryan's kept me from trying Showmars. But I finally gave in because I found out they serve gyros. And I hadn't had a gyro since leaving Chicago many moons ago. To my surprise Showmars' gyros are really good! Not gourmet or authentic by any means. Let's just say most Greek restaurants don't griddle their pitas in butter. But it's cheap, fast, quality diner food. Definitely greasy and if you order too many sides or dessert they'll have to roll you out on a gurney. But for what it is, I'm a fan. The crowd is pretty hip too. read more

This location has always been dead the few times I have gone. Staff is hit or miss with being pleasant vs borderline rude which is probably why. I have dined in once and it was within an hour of closing time which may be a factor for the less than pleasant demeanor. Still, as long as I am within their posted hours of business I expect to be treated a little more courteously. After being seated, the server walked up and nonchalantly asked "alright what can I get you", just like that. My response: "may I have a menu". Perhaps they should make a post that states carry-out only after a certain time if they are gonna be feeling some type of way about late patrons... I understand that this is a casual/take-out time place, but no one wants to be served out of disposable containers when dining in :-/ it's not quite a fast food place despite it being a chain so, eh! Don't get me wrong, I love the food at Showmars's! The service is super fast also. However, the staff at location is kinda blah! read more

One of the best locations. Glad they did a major upgrade. It's a good place for lunch and excellent on a Saturday with the family. Not sure about other locations but this one has a Bar!!!! Don't forget to grab some coleslaw read more

Always clean & the management seems to always remember my order:) I come here for lunch & never been disappointed. The Greek gyros are my favorite & today I tried the chicken Mac & cheese which is awesome!!! I feel you get a good portion for the price. Better than other Showmars in my personal opinion. The food just tastes better here. read more

I'm only rating two stars because I really was NOT impressed with this location. I've been at the 7th street location once or twice, but I decided to give this location a try. I came around 4pm on a weekday before the rush hour. The restaurant had some people in it, but still plenty of lingering staff and tables that weren't bussed. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries and it took 15 minutes for my food which is an okay time, I wouldn't expect much more time. The tomato wasn't great on my burger and the burger was just lacking taste, overall I wasn't impressed. The fries are good, but it's kind of a let down when you know that they probably came frozen and weren't made in house. read more

Garbage- Had a pita with gyro meat. The meat tasted freezer burnt this is not fresh cooked its terrible can't even eat it.. lessen learned.. blah ! read more

Took my mom to dinner expecting to get our usual delicious gyro and fish. This location does Greek Chicken dinner with a glass of wine or a beer for $9.99! Sounds good to me. It tasted even better. The owner, Mr. C., was there and is as gracious as his food is delicious. This is a local gem. Enjoy it Charlotte! read more

So I walk into Shomars and observe that there are two registers with two opposite personalities. In one register, jolly man. Behind the other register, grumpy man. As fate would have it, my order was taken by grumpy man. He was in a hurry, barking inquiries. It's fascinating because I think he might be one of the owners. "No Hummus!" he barked at my question. Got it! Moving right along. The no hummus retort made me think the gyros might be boring, so I went with the All-American Pita Burger. The Pita Burger was a delightful choice, served in pita bread with three thin patties, yellow-American cheese, lettuce and tomato. It hit the spot and is pretty unique to me. First All-American Pita Burger I've had at least. I'm craving one just writing about it! Anyway--check Mr. Grumpy's out! read more

Went with a church group for lunch. It was too noisy for conversation and the table configuration was also not conducive for talking with each other. I love Showmars, but the Alaskan fish that I got was chewy. The fries and hush puppies were okay. Usually I get the cobb salad with the wheat pita bread. I sure shoulda stuck with my regular! And usually I go to the Providence Road location, which is also preferable over the EAST BLVD location. I based this on the service that is always given on Providence Road and was absent on East Blvd. I also base it on the overall atmosphere. But, I was happy to be with my friends, so it was okay. But, this was proof that if it's not broken, you just don't fix it! read more

Shomars has some unique takes on Mediterranean food here. When I walked in a patron said, "The pita burgers are the bomb!" I ordered the original after trying to decide between two different varieties. The meal comes with fries and a drink and I think I paid about $12 for my meal and my BF's. He ordered a fish sandwich which he also enjoyed. The customer service is great here. I almost forgot my change and the cashier reminded me just as I was walking away. They walk over to your table to take your drink order and they're not shy about bringing more. The cups are huge though so I'm not sure if you'd want any more than one cup of a soda, lemonade or sweet tea. Overall, I'd definitely go here again - it's really unique and tasty too. read more

I wanted to wait before writing my review after eating at this showmars location. I thought that the portion size was EXTREMELY small for a $12 and in comparison to other locations, but I wanted to be absolutely certain. After visiting another one today I can't believe the difference, I now feel ripped off even more and I've included pics to show why. The top is the calabash platter from the East Blvd location and the bottom is the Calabash platter from the N Tryon. In each photo I've removed everything from under the shrimp and in the bottom I've eaten maybe 7 from the platter. In the top I've eaten two. Needless to say I'll never visit this location again! read more

I've been in Charlotte for 10mo. and I've recently decided to try this place- I've been here twice now for lunch! both times had the chicken pita, which is very tasty- my favorite!

So far the best Showmars of them all!!!! So great to be able to choose items on the healthier side!! I always get the lg Greek salad with chicken!!! No shell add pita breadthe manager Sam is such a sweetheart but its rare to catch him because he's always so busy in the back making sure the food comes out quickly my daughter has severe food allergies and he assured me that the food was going to be safe because he personally took the time to cook her meal! If that's not amazing service I don't know what is Thanks Sam!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I order from here like once a week. The food is hot and delicious. I've never had a single problem and you can't go wrong with the pita burgers! read more

2.5 stars. Am I missing something? I just don't see why people give this place 4 or 5 stars. I have eaten here only twice - admittedly the first was long ago so I decided to give it another shot in hopes that it was better than the first. I went with a Gyro combo with french fries for about $8. This is pretty average cost for a lunch sandwich - I'm not sure how the lady was able to have wine and dessert and dinner for 4 at $40 ... but maybe mine was a pricier item? who knows... Let me preface by saying I went after a fast since I had blood work done that morning. By the time I ordered I was very hungry and honestly most edible things would have tasted great - but sadly I still found the food quality was a little lacking here. Loved the pita bread but there was basically just a ton of meat and sauce with very little onion and tomato. I like my gyros with feta cheese, cucumbers and all the great toppings ..this just didn't cut it. The tzatziki was herbless and tasted almost like they add a thickener rather than using simple greek yogurt. The fries were crinkle cut cafeteria-style and while crispy they lacked any real flavor. +1 star for good pita bread +1 star for astonishingly fast service Unfortunately Showmars wont be my go-to Greek place read more

Pretty bad. I should have Yelped it first!! It's hard to see what it's like from the outside, but it's a hybrid counter/table service. I like my glass of wine... but the "chicken souvlaki" was plain breast cut into strips. "Tzaziki" was like sour cream with dried chives. The onion rings weren't bad, for breaded. Indifferent service. Won't be back. read more

I ordered spaghetti after friends raving about it. It was not good. At all. The server was patient with my party of 6. There are so many other places to go. When I'm back in the area, I will definitely check out one of the other eateries. read more
