Showmars Monroe - Greek restaurant in Monroe - 2398 W Roosevelt Blvd, USA

Showmars has always been a great bargain. Especially now. For about the same price as a footlong sandwich & drink at a Subway I had a more delicious, and nutritious meal, a Greek Salad with Gyro and iced tea at Showmars. Showmars has never disappointed me in all the decades I have eaten there. Hats off to Mr. C for keeping the quality very high and the prices affordable.

Wow. The service here is the highest top notch. From the outside I almost didn't go in because it looks so run down but inside is clean and the entire staff is so friendly you'll want to keep going back. Food was also great. Very full pita, yummy fries and free refills on tea! I'll definitely be back.

Sharing our experience from a few months ago. My wife's cousin came down from Sparta with his family so we decided to hit Shomars for the first time. We were greeted by friendly staff that took our order. They we're knowledgeable about the menu and patient with our group of 9. This was a great place to bring the kids. Not that they are rowdy or were rowdy but they just didn't seem to be the pressure to make sure they are not going to bother anybody. Food took about 20-30 minutes but they brought stuff out as it was ready which was great for the kids. All of our platters for fantastic. Manager (I'm sorry I forgot your name) came over at least on two occasions to check on us and ask if we wanted it needed anything. Honestly overall great experience my only constructive criticism would be to implement a cleaning schedule or intensify the one currently in place. As an operations manager with Marriott I would hire every person what worked that shift.

The food is good, love the Santorini pita. But this review serves as a notice to those with food allergies. We discovered our daughter has a shellfish allergy by eating here. She surprisingly ate chicken tenders and fries though. After she broke out in hives on the way home, I called to ask if they fry/batter the chicken with shellfish. The guy told me no. Another time (just for me) I asked a different employee because there was no other reason for her mysterious allergy and was told “sometimes yes sometimes no”. So be careful eating here if you have food allergies. (We did get it confirmed by an allergist after that it was shellfish)

Let me start by saying that I don't like Showmars, they had nothing on their menu that I wanted although I have had their big fish sandwich and it was ok but they have extended their menu and they have several things that I wanted to try. I ordered the bbq sandwich with salt and pepper tots. I also ordered the cold pasta salad. The bbq sandwich was packed full of pork but unfortunately the sauce was so sweet and tart at the same time that I couldn't tolerate it. The tater tots were cold and tasted stale. The pasta salad is your typical cold pasta salad with Italian dressing. The box pasta salads that you make at home are better. My husband said his chicken tenders were good but the onion rings were tasteless (I didn't try them). So, I doubt we'll go back to Showmars. If I want a bbq sandwich I'll go to The Smoke Pit.

The good is good 3 star typical fast casual dining place with a good selection. I give the staff at this Monroe store 5 stars super friendly people. As with all the showmanship the atmosphere is definitely blah but if you want atmosphere go to steak48 or delfriscos lol they have food for everyone from fried fish to grilled salmon, gyros and more. So diet or not they got you. The Greek salads are great.

Showmars used to be really great many years ago growing up but the last couple years its not been great. They are overpriced and the food is just average. It honestly tastes like basic cafeteria food from a hospital or public school. There's not anything special about it. 10-15 years ago it was really great but it hasn't been in quite a while and I don't plan on going back.

Food was good and staff was on top of everything quick food and great service
