Showmars Named Charlotte’s Best Lunch Spot

Charlotte, News | Oct 27, 2025

We’re honored — and beyond excited — to share that Showmars has been named Charlotte’s Best Lunch Spot in the 2025 Best of CLT Awards from The Charlotte Observer!

For more than 40 years, you’ve welcomed us into your lunch breaks, family outings, and everyday moments. You’ve made us part of your routines — whether it’s that go-to Pita Burger, your favorite Greek Salad, or our World Famous Fish Sandwich — and this recognition belongs just as much to you as it does to us.

At Showmars, we’ve always believed lunch should feel like a break worth looking forward to. A place where Southern, Fresh, and Greek flavors come together with a warm smile and a side of hospitality. That’s what we’ve strived for since George Couchell (“Mr. C”) opened the first Showmars in 1982, and it’s what keeps us serving up something special every day.

From our team to our loyal guests across the Carolinas — thank you for helping us earn this incredible honor. Your support inspires us to keep doing what we love most: bringing people together over great food.

So next time you stop by, know you’re dining at Charlotte’s Best Lunch Spot!
