“A family fav! You feel like your their family when you go to this restaurant. If you like pork, highly recommend the char grilled pork. Absolutely delicious! Their greek fries and gyros are excellent as well! Love all the sweet desserts. So happy they are close by!“
“One of our favorite restaurants in South Charlotte. Amazing sides, tasty and healthy. We get take out from here weekly and it’s consistently good and fresh. And the homemade baklava is sooo fresh and tasty. Best I’ve ever eaten (and I love baklava).“
“Maxwell's is a fantastic little spot in downtown Waxhaw. It's also very popular, which is great for the restaurant, but makes it a challenge when we wanted to have lunch today. The place was packed with a bunch of people waiting outside. We put our name on the list and were told it would be about 40 minutes. No biggie, Waxhaw has plenty to offer while we wait. It's so good that this place is so well known and popular.Today I got the Grilled Salmon Salad. The salad is what is to be expected - fresh greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, croutons, hard boiled egg. Everything was fresh and tasty. On top was a spectacular piece of salmon, grilled perfectly and arrived smelling like Sunday brunch, as it was cured with maple syrup. That made it very unique. Interestingly, the aroma was wonderful, but the flavor just wasn't there. The fish itself tasted great, but the maple never really hit my tastebuds. Could be because it was lightly blackened (by design) and the crust formed there took away some of the sweetness? The fish was great, don't get me wrong, but it smelled better than it tasted. When we return, I'll get it again. I just wish the taste had a stronger maple flavor.Our pescatarian middle schooler got mozzarella sticks and hummus with pita. The sticks seemed pretty standard fare, but our kid really raved about how good the hummus was.As for the atmosphere, the room is bright and inviting, with classic looking tools and components on the walls. Plenty of TV's with sports. Although it was one room that was packed with people, we could still hear ourselves and carry on conversations at our table. Maxwell's loses a start for atmosphere because the tables were too jam packed together. Servers and patrons alike kept bumping into our chairs as they walked by (but everyone was polite about it). I was guilty of this too when navigating to the bathroom, as I couldn't avoid chairs which were back-to-back on my way across the room. We were seated near the bar, which is where people would stand around while waiting for a table. For some of the meal, a gentleman's behind was hovering right over my wife's shoulder as were waiting for our food to arrive. The constant bumping took away a little from our experience. If we were in a booth, we probably wouldn't have been impacted.Maxwell's is a fabulous restaurant and is a great reason to visit downtown Waxhaw!Vegetarian options: Our kid is a pescatarian and got mozzarella sticks and hummus with pita. They said it was really good hummus, so that's good. There are plenty of salads to choose from, plus a garden burger.Parking: Street parking is okay, with parallel parking on one side and angled parking on the other. You can always park around the corner on South Providence Street too.Kid-friendliness: There were plenty of kids in the restaurant from toddlers to middle schoolers. There's a kids menu with crayons too.“
“We are located in between Greco Fresh Grille in Steele Creek and The Greek Grill in Fort Mill. They both have identical menus, but they separated out into two restaurants, with Greco having more locations around the Charlotte area. We finally tried Greco recently, so I have to compare the two.What we got:Lamb Gyro with OPA Fries (lemon oregano and feta) - the lamb meat was a little more greasy here than at Greek Grill, but still good flavor. The fries are also great.Pastitsio - Greek lasagna served with a Greek salad. This lasagna is different in that it is not alternating layers like a traditional lasagna, but instead layers of noodles at the bottom, followed by a thick layer of meat sauce, and a top layer of bachemal/cheese sauce. To compare to the Greek Grill - it was not executed properly here. I do not know if it had been sitting out or improperly prepared from the start, but the bottom layer of noodles were crispy/crunchy and not pleasant. Luckily, since it has layers of noodles, I could avoid the bottom layer to enjoy the rest of it. Definitely recommend this if it is executed properly as the flavor is good. The Greek salad was great!Service was okay, just there to take your order, not that friendly we are happy to have you here vibe.Overall a good spot for Greek Food, but you will find us going to Greek Grill in Fort Mill more just to have better execution and service.“
“Usually the food is amazing here. I just ordered a salad with lamb and picked up. The salad was basically whole leaf barely cut as well as the lamb. Large slices that needed to be cut up. Also needed to heat up the lamb as it was not hot and it had only been 10 mins since I picked up. Maybe it is a busy night or someone just doesn’t know to cut up food. I will try again but was surprised.“
“Showmars Indian Land is fabulous for a delicious meal takeout. I call in an order for pickup - highly recommend their Greek salad with grilled chicken - for a delicious and healthy meal when time is limited, or you just want a delicious lunch or dinner without any hassle. They’re friendly, fast, and food never disappoints!“
“Such amazing service!!! We dined outside and Brianna checked on us many times.She even was kind enough to pull out disinfectant wipes to wipe down the high chair and table where our toddler sat!The food was great, but the service was even better. Thank you the Greek Grill, and thanks Brianna!“
“The chicken souvlaki platter was all-encompassing fulfilling and delicious. I was happy that you were still providing a fresh meal that late in the evening (because some restaurants microwave food), and I still had enough to take to work the next day (but wished I had more), and still tasted delicious. Your staff, especially the desk staffer that took my order, were wonderful to interact with (especially when you just want to go home, eat, do no exercise, and sleep). Thank you for the great transition!“
“Had lunch today w a girlfriend at the Blakeney location and was served an outstanding platter...Chose shrimp as my protein, and the shrimp was slightly garlicy and lemony ( perfect!) , the pilaf was fluffy and seasoned perfectly, and the side Greek salad, well...what can you say ~ awesome, of course. Wonderful, guys! keep up the great meals !“
“After a wonderful lunch at Ilios Noche, I must rave about the delicious and varied menu. We had the most courteous and professional server, Trip. He was so friendly and knowledgeable. I have never had a better meal, great atmosphere and awesome service. Please do yourself a favor and have a meal at Ilios, especially if you are gluten-free. They have a fantastic choice of Mediterranean fare. This has made our Sunday afternoon a very pleasant experience.Dietary restrictions: If you are gluten-free, the Mediterranean menu offers a very wide selection of wonderfully delicious meals.Wheelchair accessibility: Since I am in a wheelchair, I found it easy to enter and exit the restaurant. The staff was quick in holding doors open. Sat at a table comfortably.“

“I just have to say what a great place this is! I’ve been ordering here for years. Their food is always fresh and flavorful and the people working there are courteous! Tonight I ordered from Door Dash and wanted extra Pita. There wasn’t a place to order on the app and I told the gal on the phone I was happy to pay for it. She said, “no problem, I’ll throw some in no charge.” I told her she was the bright spot in my otherwise difficult day. And when I opened my order I saw this message on the box. It almost made me cry because I had just come from cleaning out my Moms house and she recently passed away. Kindness is so meaningful and this person had no idea what was going on-she’s just a wonderful person spreading kindness. Thank you Greco Fresh! The food is enough to keep me coming back but now they have a customer for life. ?“
“Showmars is a great spot with super fresh ingredients and fast, friendly service. They have fresh salads, juicy grilled chicken, THE BEST tzatziki sauce, gyro, pitas, cheeseburgers, fried chicken sandwiches, pasta salad, the list goes on. You'll get a lot for your dollar as their portion sizes are pretty substantial! They are "Greek Southern" in their approach to food. They offer a casual order-at-the-counter-and-grab-a-number style dining experience which makes it perfect for a quick lunch or dinner with a group. The staff come around and make sure your drinks are refilled. Showmars is our go-to spot and I think if you give it a try, you'll agree!“
“I went for lunch and it was busy, but they had great service! I tried the chicken skewers meal, and everything was very tasty. This was a huge serving and I ended up having leftovers because there was so much. Next time I may try to get the mini entree instead, but I liked the combo of the salad, pita, chicken, and fries.“
“We had a salad with the chicken kabob. Very fresh tasty. The kabob was flavorful and most, not over or under done. Also had the chicken gyro. One of the best. Read someone else's review about the fries. The oopah fries are very flavorful with the herbs and feta. Will definitely go again when in the area.“
“Was visiting from out of town and ran across this restaurant. Went through the drive thru and was pleasantly surprised with the amount of food, taste, and quality. Ordered the flounder and shrimp and also the classic chicken pita (not pictured). Highly recommend.“
“Showmars provides us lunch at work. Today they went above and beyond to make sure the entire staff was satisfied. They are the sales staff's favorite lunch!Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options.Dietary restrictions: They will adhere to your dietary restrictions.“

“My go-to spot when I'm nearby and want a casual fresh healthy option fast. The salads, salmon, lamb, chicken and pitas haven't disappointed yet and the fresh vege and homemade tzatziki and desserts are delish. Service has always been tops, too. Bonus for local ownership. ?“
