Showmars Mint Hill

Showmars has been a Mint Hill staple for years and they just did an awesome revamp of the restaurant and menu which I love. There are so many choices now all of the chicken pitas are great and their new salads are fantastic too. Come by and try one as soon as possible!!!

I’ve been sold on Showmars since I started going — so fair warning — both in Indian Trail and Indep. location, so now that I’m in Mint Hill I visited here. I was NOT disappointed! Ordered the Flounnder-​Shrimp dinner and it’s same great litly breaded flounder and BUNCHES of calabash shrip. Asked for and got WD ffies (im a crispy girl) but must admit the condensation got to them on this long trip (to go) all the way back up Lawyers. Not their fault. As you can see, got everything to go with also: tartar, lemon, cocktail AND my FAV Red Wine Vinegar. SHOWMARS is great –NON fast food!

I visited this location a year ago for lunch. The food was horrible. It tasted like defrosted burgers and fries.
Came back to check out their «improved» menu and renovated space.
It is a cleaner and crisper look inside with neutral tones. It was quite busy for a Thursday morning. Our waitress was very nice and attentive despite it being so busy.
My son had the french toast and I had the Farm Fresh breakfast. The bacon was cooked to perfection. The coffee is decent as well. It was actually all very good. I was very surprised.
It has that frequent local vibe to it. Looks like people meet up there to catch up or hang out.
I will have to try them for lunch again and see how that experience goes.

They eliminated an entire row of seating not sure that was a good business decision and the lobby layout is awkward. Same great food, service and reasonable prices. Kudos for the change!

I’ve never had a problem at show Mars in mint hill before always had amazing lunch he’s and dinners so I decided to try breakfast. I don’t know if it was the new staff or new management but they got almost everything wrong and wanted to do nothing about to fix it. We almost left until the manager came to fix half of our order to make it edible for us. He did take 10% off the bill which I thought was low considering we could even eat half our food. But I left it at four stars because there lunch and dinner are worth going to but I’d skip breakfast!

The very best fish sandwich in the country!
It hangs out almost a foot outside the bun!

First visit ever. Tried a famous All American Pita burger. It was very good, as were the onion rings. Iced tea (unsweetened) was bland and watery.
A young lady checked on me, and offered to go cups to others for their drinks, but no mention of it when she got to me.
All in all I need to give this place a fair shake, but my first impression was that it was pretty pricey to what really amounted to fast food minus all the paper. I certainly paid more than other fast food restaurants, not sure what I got for it that warrants the price?

Showmars is one of the best places to eat in Mint Hill. They have a breakfast special Monday through Friday 4.99 2 eggs, bacon or sausage, hash browns or grits, toast or biscuit and seniors get free coffee. They also have scrumptious omelets, pancakes all the other breakfast goodies. I don’t know what they do to their hash browns but they are the best I’ve ever had! The lunch and dinner menu has Pita burgers, grilled chicken pita, Gyro and they have platters as well with Alaskan white fish, marinated chicken or beef tips over rice, shrimp and that’s just to name a few. Everything is made to order any way you want it comes out fresh and hot right to your table. The service is always awesome everyone who works here is super nice oh and it’s always fast as well.

Take out service is the worst, make sure you get the order you placed and not some other one. Dont know why but this is a regular occurence with my familys order. 2 times in one week, is a bit much

Excellent food and great staff. I’ve been there many dozens of times, all times of the day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are good.

Showmars is great. Fast food that doesn’t taste like fast food. Gyro’s are delicious and the yogurt sauce would make a shingle edible. I only wish they offered some spicier options, maybe even a cajun french fry or the like. Otherwise a great experience.

Just like it says, real good food… fast! Showmars is a great choice if you really just don’t feel like the usual fast food but also don’t have the time for a sit-​down. Every Showmars I’ve been to has very friendly and accomodating staff. Would like to see some more gluten-​free items on the menu other than just salad, but for the most part the menu is sufficient. Great place to grab a bite!

yay… Showmars… «Casual Dinning… Fast!». Well their slogan fits the bill and the food here is always way delicious. I like going for the Gyro myself but they also have awesome pita burgers and Greek salads. I’ve been to this location a couple times and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Showmars is one of my favorite local restaurants and I’m glad to see them doing as well as they have. If you are looking for a quick, and good, gryo around town this is definitely the place to stop in by.

Yes, it’s a chain. But it’s a local chain, so that accounts for something, right? It’s also fast-​casual Greek food, not the common chain experience.
Being one of the few MH options, this location is usually very busy. But the staff is efficient and the wait time is minimal. Pitas, slouvaki, gyro, and American dishes (burgers, grilled chicken salads). You don’t come here for authenticity, but for a decent, fast, cheap meal.
Pro tip: For take-​out, call 10 minutes before and pick it up using their drive-​through. It’s not an order at the box; you have to call ahead.

So, back in a chain. And this time I didn’t think this place was too bad. I haven’t been to showmars in a while and when I was invited to go while working to eat and I was actually surprised. They had great service and this Showmars gave a feeling of community. Lets face it, it is in Mint Hill.
Overall, I enjoyed this Showmars. Nothing really bad/​good to say about it. Nothing special, at the same time it wasn’t bad at all. Food came promptly and it was pretty tasty.

OK, nothing special. Mint Hill is in real need of a more upscale place to eat, something other than the Greekish diner fare like here and Jimmies. Maybe someday…
Pretty good value for the price, but just average at best, I’ve eaten here at least a dozen times and gotten take out more than that just because its convenient to where I live and I’m surprized by the number of folks giving this a 4 or more star rating. They must be limited in their dining experience.

Somewhat amazingly, I’ve been to Showmars only a handful of times, I’ve written two reviews, and this is one of them. The last one was almost four years ago. I didn’t even realize I had been here before, much less reviewed the place.
I actually stopped in for breakfast one morning because I noticed they had a breakfast special. I’m all about breakfast, so I gave them a go. It turns out that Showmars — at least this Showmars — is absolutely packed for breakfast. I don’t know if it’s because of the location (their parking lot shares a park-​and-​ride) or what, but you may want to have some time on your hands.
The service can be spotty. I’ve gone in and had to wait a few minutes just to be acknowledged. I’ve also gone and been seated right away. But once seated, the table service is usually very good, and the food comes out quickly. Also, the bacon is generally some of the best I’ve ever had — crisp and tasty, not burnt. They also keep you drinks filled regularly, one of the things I look for as far as service goes.
If you don’t like breakfast, I’d suggest the Greek sandwiches — my favorite is the Souvlaki Somora (chicken), but the Gyro isn’t bad either. Other than that, it’s just so-​so.
Sweet Tea Report: Thanks to Wild Bill F., I tried their sweet tea — which I hadn’t done before for some reason — and it’s not bad. Better than some, worse than others. Many places find themselves in the middle of the road when it comes to sweet tea, and Showmars is no exception. You can tell the difference over unsweetened tea, but it could be much sweeter. Definitely worth a go if you need a fix, but there are better places out there.
