Showmars Emerywood

I ordered two Greek veggie pitas and sweet potato fries. The food was really good. I got there right at opening. Service was speedy. Customer service was excellent.
It is important to note that this location does not have soup or black bean burgers. I also was expecting them to serve more Greek food… Like dolmas, falafel, etc. But they don’t.

I think the management has changed. My husband and I used to go here for lunch, but things have gone downhill the past two times. The atmosphere is less friendly.
Today we walked out without even ordering, having waited directly in front of the registers while the manager and one employee ignored us for a long moment. I lost my patience when the employee served the person who had just walked in behind us – immediately after this customer was asked to move her car because she was blocking the back parking lot. It was as if we were invisible.
Next time we want Greek food, we’ll go to the Mad Greek.

I work near this location so we eat there usually once a week or so. It’s always fast, hot and consistent. I like the owner man and the young black lady that runs the register. She’s always so friendly and helpful… she really cheers up my days :-) The food is consistently good, the fries are piping hot, the burgers are fresh and the cucumber sauce is always delicious. Thanks Emerywood team :-)

A charlotte staple, onion rings are fantastic but still rank second in my book. I came for the gyro though something seemed different about it but still good none the less.
Ps. This place is not in Ballentyne. It’s Starmont.
HOLY CRAP I JUST NOTICED THEY HAVE CHEERWINE ON TAP!!!
~angels singing~

It’s one star because there is no zero star option!!!
A Greek salad with no feta cheese!
And a dressing that smells like FISH OIL!
What a waste of time and money!
Never again.

We have been going to this Showmars for years and years, and it’s always been consistently and, comfortably, reliable and unchanged. Love the fish pitas, Greek salads, crispy shell bowls, and pretty much everything I’ve ever ordered. This last time I was trying to keep with NY resolutions, and eat healthier, so I ordered the grilled chicken salad (without the delicious shell), to go and it was huge, and tasty. They included a warm, fresh pita bread. I do miss those fried fish pitas though.

How does Showmars do it?
I was impressed with Showmars the first time I tried their food and this time was no exception. Showmars is the best food in its class compared to any of its closest competitors. No other restaurant stacks up to Showmars in terms of food quality and service.
Our food was out reasonably quickly and everything was piping hot. Each item we ordered was extremely appetizing.
Nothing disappointed. The popcorn shrimp entrée is made with tender and mild tasting bite-​sized shrimp. The crinkle cut fries are hearty and the uniquely shaped hushpuppies were prepared just as they should be. I would classify the onion rings as quite good but I would not consider them to be a standout item.
My favorite item, the fried flounder was perfectly breaded and prepared and there was so much flounder I wondered how I would manage to eat it all. I also requested an order of grilled pita bread. It compliments the fish perfectly. It has a slightly chewy texture and a fresh off the grill taste. Their pita bread, just like so many of their entrees is hard to beat considering the price. Overall value of all items is excellent.
Service was prompt, friendly and attentive.
I am still not certain how Showmars does it but I am certainly glad they do.

This isn’t my favorite Showmars, but it does the trick on a busy workday when I need to get in and out with a well priced, non-​fast food lunch. Located just off of South Blvd, parking can be a bit of a squeeze during peak lunch hours, but you’ll be able to find a spot behind the restaurant if there isn’t one available out front.
Today’s lunch of a chicken salad pita with fries and a sweet tea worked just fine. One thing I do particularly like about this location is the variety of dessert dishes. In addition to the standard Showmars baklava, they also have several different types of pie (cream and otherwise) — whee!

Food was good, waitresses a pleasure. But unless you are white, don’t expect even a hello from the management.
I aproched the counter to trade out the tartar sauce i was given for a cocktail, the manager that helped me stared dagers at me. When I smiled and said thank you for your help, he rolled his eyes!
5 minutes later he was kissing ass on the ½ of the restaurant that was predominantly white.
He never spoke to a single black customer.
I love this chain, hate this location

Great service, manager is always interacting with diners, food beats national chains by a big margin. Lucky to have one close.

Showmars has Gyro’s, I love Gyros. These are not great Gyros. They are 3 star Gyros. I think the pita bread they use is too brittle. It shouldn’t crack in half when you hold it so everything falls out. I lived in a Greek neighborhood for a few years and let me tell you, the Greeks know how to eat. The service is friendly and they have burgers and fries (yum). If you’re close to one and you’re hungry it’s a decent place with a big menu for a reasonable price.

It was good but parking sucks and the chicken looked pink and I asked if it was ok to eat and they said that’s just the way the chicken looks. So we will see if I get sick. Also they had problems with their soda machine.
