Showmars Casual Dining Fast a Restaurant Review


Showmars restaurant a staple here in Charlotte, North Carolina has more than 25 locations in Charlotte and the surrounding areas. This Greek inspired restaurant serves up delicious fast food in a casual dining environment.

There are 27 locations within Charlotte and its surrounding cities. Only two of the Showmars restaurants are franchises. Which is unique in itself and that’s why Showmars food and customer service is consistent at all locations. I have frequented several locations and the ones that stand out are the Dilworth and the Fort Mill location.

My Showmars favorites are the fresh flounder dinner and the gyro dinner and the Greek salad. The calabash shrimp dinner is an extremely popular item. The plates overflow with nice big pieces of shrimp.

Sandwiches you must try are Fresh Filet Fish sandwich, gyro, Grilled chicken pita, and the Old fashion pita burger. Showmars restaurant has the best fish sandwich in town. You’ll love their salads especially the Greek salads with grilled chicken or gyro meat.

Showmars has one of the most attentive and friendliest staffs. They take pride in their restaurants. Managers greet you at the door. They want you to have a pleasant experience so you’ll come back and again. And I do just that.

But no matter how nice the staff is you wouldn’t come back if the food wasn’t delicious. And Showmars exceeds your expectations.

Showmars restaurants pride itself in a fun friendly atmosphere which serves fresh cooked to order food at reasonable prices. Plus, they give you generous portions. I have to admit that Showmars delivers every time.

If you’re new to the Charlotte Area you need to pay them a visit as soon as you can. And if you’re passing through make this one of your stops.

I have three categories in which I put a dining experience in.
1. Recommended – Meaning I would eat there again and recommend it to others.
2. Toss up – Means you have to decide for yourself by visiting the establishment.
3. Drive By – Means keep on driving pass the restaurant.

So which category does Showmars fall in? I would have to say Recommended.

Until next time Bon appétit!

The Real Housewives of Atlanta The Introductions

When Bravo TV decided to do the Real Housewives of Atlanta I thought I would give it a try. Now, I do television recaps sometimes, but the Real Housewives of Atlanta isn’t really the kind of television show you recap. I would say the Real Housewives of Atlanta is something you observe and comment on. But let’s first introduce you to the Real Housewives of Atlanta.


Our first real housewife of Atlanta is Lisa Wu Hartwell who is married to NFL player Ed Hartwell and owns her own real estate firm among other things.



Our second real housewife of Atlanta is Deshawn Snow who is married to NBA player Eric Snow of the Cleveland Cavaliers. She heads up The Deshawn Snow foundation.



Our third real housewife of Atlanta is Nene Leakes who is married to Gregg Leakes a successful real estate investor. And she is the founder of The Twisted Hearts Foundation.



Kim Zolciak is a single mother living well in Atlanta. She is currently dating someone who wants to remain anonymous. I wonder why?



Sheree Whitfield our soon to be ex-housewife is currently in the process of divorcing Ex NFL player Bob Whitfield.


Here are my first impressions of each of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

I thought Sheree was self absorbed, materialistic and shallow. She is so money hungry and has a desire to be envied. Deshawn immediately rubbed me the wrong way. I felt her staff was too extensive and it just didn’t seem like she needed all the help she claimed she needed. But in her defense I don’t live her life she may actually need all her servants.

Kim just screamed out “kept woman” to me. Her looks are her tools in life and maintaining them is absolutely necessary to live as she is accustomed to. Lisa seems like a hard worker and yes she is blessed to be married to a man that can take care of her. But I think that’s just a bonus because she could do It all by herself.

I like Nene she is a real as they come. You can tell right away that she has a big heart. She’s a little brash and outspoken but she’s the hot sauce in this Atlanta Mix. Stay tuned for some more comments and observations.
