| - The reason I like Showmars is that you pretty much always know what you're going to get...and that is good home cooked food, and quickly. No different here at this location. I've read some recently negative reviews for this location....but I had a really good experience.
First off, this place gets VERY busy before most businesses starting work time....lots of banking folks sitting around me. I grabbed a seat at the counter to watch the chaos in the Kitchen, and to watch the ONE waitress bust her tail in order to make her customers happy. I also find it amazing how very hard Latino cooks work back in the kitchen, and how quickly they can switch from getting their orders in English yet speak Spanish back there among each other. Their head cook was about as hard working an Expeditor as I've seen, repeating every order and making sure his line cooks get it done right.
My little blonde waitress was filling in for someone who apparently called in sick, and she was uber busy yet kept me happy with coffee and getting my order in and to me very quickly (like 5 minutes).
So I'd say the STAFF here easily gets 5 STARS. Very hard working and efficient.
Now that I've painted the picture on how this place operates, let me tell you about my Greek Omelet. I got it with Gyro meat and grilled onions, and it was very good! Hash browns and English Muffin were acceptable and average. But the Greek Omelet was filled with tomatoes, feta cheese, gyro meat, grilled onions and some Greek spices. Not overcooked and quite tasty overall. Good size too.
I got about the most expensive thing on the menu and had a coffee and it came out to just over $10. They have MANY breakfast items that hover around $5 if you didn't want to get one of their "signature" dishes.
So if you're Uptown and want a good, home cooked meal, come to Showmars....just don't expect Dean and Deluca quality (nor their prices).
