“If I could give 10 stars I would. My first time trying Pies & Sides, I called and they were closed but luckily she was going in anyways. She explained every pie & was so sweet. Walked the pies out because my hands were full with a toddler. She wouldn’t let me tip her but I can guarantee I will be a returning customer! Cooking our first pie today & it looks amazing ❤️“

“Throughly enjoyed my ribeye except what kind of meat was it. Some of it was tough. The garlic butter didn't melt. And being here the second time. Bake potato was cold wouldn't even melt the cheese and not cooked through. Plus my husband asked for the same batter that they used on the shrimp for the fish. Absolutely 💯 perfect . The restaurant need to add it to the menu for fish and Chip with malt vinegar. He comes from England. More business for you“

“If you’re looking for the best fish sandwich in Gastonia, North Carolina, you need to try the World Famous Fish Sandwich at Showmars. I recently visited Showmars in Gastonia and was seriously impressed.
The hand-battered Pollock was cooked perfectly — crispy on the outside and flaky, tender, and fresh on the inside. You can tell it’s made fresh to order. The tartar sauce was creamy and balanced, complementing the fish without overpowering it. The bun was soft and fresh, and the portion size was generous.
The restaurant was clean and welcoming, and the staff was friendly and efficient. Overall, this was one of the most delicious fish sandwiches I’ve had in a long time.
If you’re in Gastonia and craving fresh seafood or a great lunch spot, Showmars is definitely worth a visit. I’ll absolutely be back!“

“I go to the Bessemer City Bojangles location a lot with my girlfriend and every visit I am satisfied and this may be the best Bojangles around. The staff are on it and I always get very delicious food. Once I asked if I could get dirty rice instead of a biscuit, the cashier said that the biscuit just automatically comes with the meal. Which I was ok with, and they were nice enough to get me a small cup of rice and not even charge me for it.“
