This Showmars has REALLY gone downhill since the renovation. I miss the serving staff they had for years - all new people - and I loved those great people and it was a big reason for going there. After the renovations, the prices went up and the quality of the food and the experience went way down. It used to be so down-home good, solid and very reasonable pricing. Why even go there anymore when there is better food at similar pricing elsewhere? I have specific suggestions for them: sitting by front windows there are now two ducts unpleasantly aimed downward and blowing tons of freezing cold air right onto you. They have taken the napkin dispensers off the tables! The use of disposable cups and plastic ware - sucks. They have eliminated some of my very favorite dishes of theirs and daily specials such as their wonderful Spaghetti with 2 sides and toasted pita triangles (oh no! why?), delicious Hamburger Steak with grilled onions and gravy (damnit!) Baked Apples (so good! and sadly, the Tenderlion Tips are no longer a daily special). I do love their fresh fried squash - is it still fresh? Do they still have the amazing green beans? Their cole slaw has now become BLAND and tasteless - it could use some dill weed or celery seed or...something! The fries are often overcooked. The new "trendy" (yeah, for the 80's) black bean salad is good but also boring/bland and could use a little oil and vinegar and maybe some cumin or something to kick it up a bit. I think the soups are from a plastic bag - "fresh"? It seems like less of the food is fresh or homemade. They used to play really good music, too - funk, soul, etc. Now it's annoying, crappy pop music. Worst of all is the service now - the last 5 times, I ran out of my drink before anyone noticed or maybe didn't ever even check on us again at all after the food was delivered. It used to be SO solid and reliably good. Hey I am just trying to help.
