    Husband's breakfast
    Joanna B.

    After a redeye flight we stumbled in with sleepiness in our eyes and emptiness in our stomachs. I've only been to NC once before so Showmars is a brand new experience for me. Observations from my sleep deprived brain: 1. Nice view of the Hilton and some trees. 2. Appears rather clean 3. My food is cute; seriously, I took photos 4. Actual silverware 5. Biscuit came apart nicely 6. eggs are great 7. This pescatarian ate bacon! YES

    New dining area

    So the Showmars in the Charlotte Plaza building (aka Charlotte School of Law building) is back open for business after a remodel. It's super bright and modern looking with a different set up... the ordering counter is up front and you can get your food to go or dine-in. If you dine-in, you get a number and your food is brought out to you promptly. There's a round kiosk station in the center of the floor that has the drink machine, condiments, utensils.... etc. The dining area is pushed to the back, next to the windows. You can eat and look over the plaza fountain and also see the clock fountain across the street at Wells One. There's a mix of booths and tables, so you can combine tables if you have a large group or so. Servers are super nice and they even clean up after you when you finish dining. Definitely a good option for breakfast and lunch if you work uptown - needing something quick and casual.

    You've lost me at this location, Showmars. Soggy fries ... & this lettuce on my shrimp pita. Disgusting.

    Super C! Not bad Showmars. Not bad...

    Super C was good. Usually go to Showmars for pitas but I tried the special today. Super C comes with fries or greens. I had the salad and a bottle of OJ to go with the juicy, double patty burger with onions and fresh, very fresh lettuce. The staff were extremely nice. The lady who brought my lunch had a smile and even took my tray away when I was done. Made my lunch experience better.

    Classic Chicken Pita with Crinkle Cut Fries. The fries are to die for!!

    Good lunch spot in uptown. The gyro was good. Wish I got more sauce to help with the dryness. Not bad prices.

Now I'll admit -- I'm a tough judge of cornbread. A lot of people will serve it to you as dry as the desert. Crumbly. Without any love. At the southern pecan, I could've had a whole sheet of their cornbread -- it was pleasantly delicious. Also of note: Our server was prompt and kind. The vibe inside was really cool too. Overall, I'd come back!

We started with the hush puppies and raw oysters. The mignonette was really interesting, chunky with apples (I think?). It wasn't really my thing personally, but definitely unique. The hush puppies came out HOT and crispy with a honey sauce. You can also get them dusted with cinnamon and sugar, which I thought was a fun option. For lunch, I went with the pecan crusted catfish with oven baked mac and cheese and collard greens. The catfish was SO crispy but still delicate inside, and that pecan topping was delicious. The mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy with a bubbly, crunchy top. The collard greens were perfectly seasoned. Sometimes collards can be way too vinegar heavy, but these had a really nice balance. Everything came out HOT, which I always appreciate. Really enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere here!

There were several "reserved" tables that remained empty until after we had finished eating, so I think the restaurant could benefit from a better reservation system with more accurate buffer times to accommodate walk-in guests. To avoid the wait, we decided to sit at the bar, and I'm glad we did because the food was amazing. The fried chicken and waffles were perfectly seasoned, and the waffle had a unique texture and flavor that reminded me of a combination of a traditional waffle and a soft pretzel. The cheesy potato cake was absolutely delicious. The fruit bowl was also good, but I wish they had been a little more generous with the blueberry pudding. The shrimp and grits came with large tomatoes, which may not be for everyone, and my friend felt the dish was lacking grits overall. She didn't feel like she got her money's worth. Would I go back? Absolutely. My meal was delicious, and I can't wait to return and try more of their homemade, fresh dishes. I also think it's great that they partner with local farmers to help curate their menu.

Mac & cheese was alright. Cocktails were great. We also tried their champagne tender and it was super crispy and had the taste of champagne. Service was decent. Only downside is if you make a reservation online, you will not be refunded the $3 per person fee and it is also not taken off your bill.

    Located inside an old chair, this place was amazing! Cool,…read morecasual yet elegant, service was outstanding and the food was really delicious and fresh. We came for brunch and they almost had to roll us out of there. They passed around oysters, shrimp cocktail and grilled pineapple with honey. Three different food stations: meat, vegetable and shrimp skewers was one; your choice of southern ham (prosciutto basically) or crab cake eggs benedicts was the second one and the third one I don't remember (mostly because I didn't quite make it there). In the middle they had lobster deviled eggs, assorted tea sandwiches and a small section with desserts. Everything was delicious and made with fresh ingredients. Yes, it's expensive but so well worth it!! Parking can be an issue but the good thing is, you can walk off a little of everything that you ate so that's a win!

They barely brought around food like the French toast bites. They kept bringing around oysters and literally no table wanted them that I saw. It wasn't that busy either, tons of empty tables. Instead they held off the arguably best dish of the house: French toast bites. We FINALLY got them at the end of our meal before we left but had to stalk the waiter for them. For $78 there should be way more rotations of the better dishes. Our waiter was great and atmosphere is gorgeous. Playing, food quality and everything was average. The highlight was the poached eggs, eggs Benedict, bacon, potatoes, skewers and everything else was okay. Not better than like Golden Corral or a standard buffet. My opinion is skip the brunch for that price, unless you really like oysters LOL. Also if I had little kids, would never waste money on brunch here.

The service was excellent. Now, the food was fire. I ordered the Fried Catfish with Shrimp Creole and honestly, it's the best catfish I've ever eaten in life. Tender, juicy, flavorful, and a delicious crunchy exterior. The Shrimp Creale was excellent as well, incredible seasoning and texture. My son also enjoyed his food, but after tasting my catfish he wished he'd ordered the same thing. We both loved the cornbread as well; it was warm, soft, and the butter just made it even better.

We weren't disappointed but not overly impressed either. The restaurant was decorated with a lot of historical photos and memorabilia.

But luckily another patron came to her rescue before we could intervene. The food was hot and freshly prepared, but honestly, it wasn't as tasty as we'd hoped. Soul food is hit or miss, but Mert's was good enough though....we had a meal with protein & veggies.

    HIDDEN GEM ALERT!…read more And that's not an exaggeration: this is a pop-up inside the Forest Hill Church kitchen! Don't let the random location fool you; HA Pigsmith's is busting out some mean eats, with hefty portions and affordable prices. How it works: Follow @so_science on Instagram, and they'll post the week's menu over the weekend. The themes vary every week, so keep an eye on it! You have until midnight on Tuesday to email them with your order. On Wednesday morning, you get an email with payment and pick-up details, and then you swing by the back of the church between 4 and 7 PM on Wednesday to pick up your goods! Pretty easy process, especially if you live close by. So far we've gotten dishes from their BBQ menu (brisket, bbq beans, cheese and mac) and their Greek menu (moussaka with side Greek salad, gyro with fries). Everything is restaurant quality. Let me rephrase: everything is excellent restaurant quality! Like what I would expect if I went to a BBQ joint or Greek spot that specialize in that type of cuisine. Pretty incredible. We originally found out about HA's from a neighbor, and I added this business page to Yelp to be able to share my photos and experiences to help spread the word about this awesome local spot!

I'm talking top tier, Veuve Clicquot Brut service...with a little spice...Best! He was so accommodating and keep us laughing the entire time. He went out of his way to make my day special! We started with beignets, oysters on the half shell and cocktails. Espresso Martinis, a Dirty Martini, and a specialty cocktail made to order. It may sound like a weird combination, but it all paired well together. I was in the mood for beef. So, I ordered the Wagyu Brunch Burger- 1/2 lb Wagyu, Over-Easy Egg, Grilled Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, Hollandaise, Avocado Spread, Brioche Bun, Garlic and Herb Fries. The fam had the Veggie Ranchero omelet- Seasonal Beans, Grilled Corn, Pico de Gallo, Poblano, Cheddar, Avocado, Tortilla Strips, Ranchero, Chipotle-Lime Crema, and a Hashbrown Casserole. Fingerling Breakfast potatoes, with a side of bacon and eggs, and another Hashbrown Casserole. Everything was cooked to perfection. I had such a great time and can't wait to return. I even made a recommendation to a friend who dined there Labor Day weekend and enjoyed her experience. I'll be back soon for sure!
