Showmars – Arrowood Rd

Friendly staff! Reasonable prices! Fast! Great call ahead service! And they take the time to know my name!

This place is not good. Best way to describe is expect frozen food nothing fresh. Or at least that’s how everything tastes. Won’t return

Traveling through Charlotte, wanted a local fast food place to grab a salad. Loaded grilled chicken salad with pita bread still hot was actually as good as the pictures looked. They have an amazing training program, because the staff was intentionally engaging. After a long day, I was happy to see comfy booths to sit in.

One of the best Showmar’s I have been to. The restaurant is nice and clean. The workers are attentive. All items I have tried thus far have been winners– Old fashion cheeseburger, BLT fried chicken salad, Chicken Santorini Pita, etc. Delicious!

Food was great: fast & fresh food wasnt greasy at all: customer service lowered there stars: overall it was OK it was clean:

Always great Gyros and French Fries! And the Baklava is excellent even though not homemade anymore.

I’m so glad that Steele creek now has a Showmars to eat at. This location the staff are great and the food is amazing. I’ll recommend it to all my friends and family. The Gyros are my favorite thing there there as well as the chicken tenders.

What I thought it was from the outside wasn’t what it was on the inside. I’m here from out of town so I thought it looked cute and fresh. Inside it just smelled fried. Not quite clean. Indifferently prepared Greek fast food. Lots of happy customers though so it certainly fills a niche for the neighborhood.

Showmars exceeded all of my expectations and accomplished the unexpected.
Despite the many exemplary reviews I was very skeptical of this eating establishment when I walked inside. One taste of their food however, and I was an immediate convert.
When you walk in to Showmars the environment is not much different than a typical fast food restaurant but that is the only characteristic Showmars has in common with those types of places.
The ordering process was quick, efficient, patient and friendly. A cordial and attentive server brought the food to our table in a very reasonable amount of time.
I had the flounder sandwich and my wife had the veggie gyro. Considering the price, it was the best flounder sandwich in its class and it excelled over some other fish sandwiches costing twice as much.
he fries and onion rings were equally as good. The coleslaw was tasty but essentially on par with what you would find at a Zaxby’s or Chick-​fil-​A. Showmars should concoct a coleslaw recipe that is representative of their other unique culinary talents. Perhaps Showmars will attempt a vinegar based recipe instead of the typical mayonnaise variety.
Just like the fish, the hushpuppies were noteworthy and although they were oblong as opposed to round, they were better than some restaurant claiming to be hushpuppy aficionados.
As for the veggie gyro, it was superb, made especially delectable with the tangy dressing that accompanied it.
The carrot cake and chocolate cream pie desserts were very good, decently portioned and sensibly priced.
The wait staff was very attentive and a server must have made the rounds at least three times during our meal, asking us if we needed anything.
Showmars stands out from all the rest. My only hope is that a Showmars will open a location in my local area very soon.
I would have given Showmars 4.5 stars if Unilocal enabled me to do so.

Good value, pretty good food. Can’t beat that for a fast food diner place. They have a number of different options to choose from with burgers to souvlaki and gyros. Surprisingly, their onion rings are a decent sized side item, and they’re better than most diners that serve the cheap frozen ones.
The service is helpful there and you can go in and out pretty quickly, or stay as long as you need. There are locations in multiple spots around town, so if they’re consistent, will always be a failsafe spot for the Greek craving.

I have been wondering where I could get Greek food in Charlotte since I grew up in Astoria, NY where Greek food was a-​plenty. I didn’t even know what Showmars was even though I pass by it every day! Thanks to Unilocal,I checked out the reviews and decided it was worth a go for a quick meal close to home.
Given that it’s a cross between a diner and fast food, I was pleasantly surprised. I had the souvlaki platter and my husband had a gyro sandwich. They weren’t the best we ever had, but they definitely did the trick to fills us up with plenty of leftovers. The best part is that it’s really decently priced. A ton of food for less than $ 20 for the both of us. Not bad!
I will definitely be back!

In the nearly seven years I’ve lived in Charlotte, I don’t know why I’ve never given Showmars a try. That was a mistake. This is good food. And it’s inexpensive. And it’s served quickly. My take out order had all the stuff I needed when I got it home. And best of all, it was tasty!
We had one order of the gyro dinner, which came with a good sized pile of sliced lamb and a delicious pita bread and a good sized pile of rice. And we had another order of the fried flounder, which had a shedload of crinkle cut fries. And ketchup. And tartar sauce. Everything you need for a great meal except the defibrillator.
Can’t wait to return!

I’m slowly becoming a fan of Showmars!
This was my second trip to the restaurant and I had another great visit.
The menu is posted on the wall, so you can see all the options that are available. There are always daily specials and you can eat in or take it to go!
Everything is made to order, which is another great feature of this restaurant. So I opted for the daily special the chicken pita with french fries.
The pita comes with very well seasoned and juicy pieces of chicken breast, lettuce and special tzatziki sauce… which is delicious! It’s creamy and a very nice mix with the pita bread!
The fries are crinkle cut and always HOT. I ask for seasoning on the side for an extra kick, but no matter what they are delicious!
For a very reasonable price, you can get a great meal here, always hot and fresh and there’s nothing wrong with that!

Showmar’s is a place where you can always get consistently good food whether it’s a burger, a salad or fried fish or some of the Greek specialties.
At Showmar’s you order at the counter. There’s a menu on the wall but it doesn’t have descriptions of the items. The printed menu in front of the cashiers has the description of an item. After you order, you get your drink and number and someone will bring out your food.
Personally, I love their old fashioned pita burgers with slaw, chili and mustard. Yum. The crinkle cut fries hit the spot also.
There’s no need to go up to the counter for a drink refill because someone is usually walking around asking if you need anything else.
The process is simple and it works well and it’s easy to tell why Showmar’s is a local favorite in Charlotte.

Always consistently good. Try the All America Pita Burger.

Can’t go wrong with Showmars, which ever one you goto, they are all amazing in every aspect: Food, customer service, & speed.
Can’t say enough good things about how they run their business. Wish they would bring one up to NYC!

I’m giving Showmars 5 stars compared to other fast food places, but Showmars is more than just a fast food place. The servers here are very friendly and even though it was noon and the place was very busy, I received my to go order quickly. I got the gyro pita & fries ($ 5.75) along with an order of onion rings. The gyro was pretty typical and very tasty. It had lots of tomatoes a few onions and tzatziki sauce. The fries are crinkle cut and a nice portion cooked crispy just the way I like them. I got a large order of onion rings and by large they mean enormous! It must have been close to entire onion in the styrofoam takeout box that was full. The rings were the frozen variety, but tasty never the less. I would definitely go to Showmars over other fast food places.

Showmar’s is tucked off the road on Arrowood at the intersection of Tyvola. There’s a steep drive in so watch out for bottoming out. They have a nice selection of salads, sandwiches and gyros on the menu. I opted for a gyro and it was pretty delicious and affordable. The interior surprised me when I walked in. I was expecting a tchotchke ridden décor. It had a nice, clean diner vibe. My order came out quickly and according to specifications, which seems to be rare during my recent lunch excursions. Great spot for lunch, very enjoyable!

I must profess my love for Showmars. There aren’t many businesses that deserve 5 stars, but Showmars is on point. Everything is good. Customer service, all of the food and without a doubt, the undisputed star of the show — the Fish Sandwich.
I’ve ordered it over 2 dozen times and each bite is as still as good as the first. The English language and Roman Alphabet alone cannot describe the satisfaction and pure bliss that it brings me. I wish you all could hear me and see my facial expressions.
That fish sandwich my friends, with tartar and coleslaw really is the world’s greatest.

Disclaimer: We’re Showmars at Arrowood «regulars.»
For whatever reason, we got started eating dinner there every Friday night a year or so ago, and rarely miss one if we’re in town (exciting life, huh?). Over that time, we’ve seen staff come and go, experienced their bad nights (and good), and managed to strike up a few friendships among the folks behind the counter and at the tables.
That said, I can’t say we’ve ever had a «bad» experience there. The food has always been consistently good and quickly served. Their fried seafood is among the best anywhere– bar none. My father from Charleston SC loved Showmar’s fried shrimp and had to have some whenever he came to town.
They also have an assortment of burgers (try the Old-​Fashioned on a pita), chicken, salads, and Greek entrees. I have yet to have anything I wouldn’t order again!
Showmars is one of those places the locals know about, but chain-​restaurant seekers would never try. Their loss.
