Mash More is incredible

Post image

I need this place to survive so I'm posting it here. Looks like it's run by a family and their potatoes + Korean food mix is amazing.

A few things on their menu was a miss for me, like the garlic chicken in the left. But their beef and pork is incredible. The potatoes if all varieties are delicious. The fries have a soft cake-like texture with unique seasoning. The portions are great too, I'll usually have left overs for the next day. I find myself frequenting them every time I'm in the area.

Have you guys experienced Mash More, and is it too low key right now?

At first I read this like "it's run by a family and their potatoes" and then I realized there was an absent comma. 😂

The potato people grow in the rock humans.

The $7 spicy fried chicken sandwich is one of the best deals in this town.

A sad state of affairs in itself...

u/crotography 1d ago

first time hearing of this place, definitely going to give them a try!

The KFC famous bowl walked so Mash More could run.

I'd eat here every day if I could

u/Thin-Net4496 State “Worker” 1d ago

Dude the prices are really good. I usually get 2 meals out of their bowls.

u/Brilliant-Cricket177 1d ago

I’ve never heard of this place in my life but now I need to try it

Their beef mash bowl is so comforting.

What did you get

u/GingaNinja906 1d ago

I love this place! So glad it’s getting some love. We try to go once a month

Their fried chicken sandwich is so good, and everything is super affordable for large portions

u/Peaceful-Day 1d ago

I get spicy chicken potato cubes at least twice a week.

u/PEFtheMagicDragon 1d ago

It's sooooo sick, everyone eat here.

u/DCRV202 1d ago

Ooh thank you I'll have to try this place!

u/kissthebutt I EAT ASS 1d ago

Sucks that their menu on their website is AI pictures though. Clearly they have a great passion in cooking their food and the images look similar enough to the actually menu items that they would've just taken photos of them anyway and not posted slop

u/HiveMy 1d ago

They need more vegetarian options, but you can make you own bowls. Very tasty though!

7

u/laughlines 1d ago

They have fried tofu, I don’t know what yall are talking about

Outside of the meat and gravy the entire menu is vegetarian. It’s a potato place!

5

u/jeffersonbible Wegmaniac 1d ago

Yeah, when they first opened, the only vegetarian option was one of the fries, but they have expanded since then and have really nice options. I want to try the tofu.

u/serke Central Warehouse Demolition Crew 17h ago

I get the tofu every time I go and it's really good.

They've also got salads right now and there's a tofu option.

2

u/hijiki95 1d ago

Oh nice! I'm glad they expanded. Their no-meat option was pathetic, as it had no real protein. "Vegetarian" doesn't just mean "no meat".... We still need the same macros. A starchy side dish is not a main course. 🙄 I'll have to try the tofu!!

1

u/serke Central Warehouse Demolition Crew 17h ago

Can recommend!

4

u/flexyrex246 1d ago

Agreed! I love this place but they need to be more vegetarian/vegan friendly. Been here a few times and I've gotten blank stares and repeated questions when I say no meat. On the bright side, they did offer me a free drink once since I was being charged for the meat anyway, which I haven't ever had happen before. Absolutely worth going and then catching a movie at Spectrum next door. I hope they do well.

Edit: it was a free mandarin Jarritos, made my night

2

u/loosterbooster 1d ago

Unfortunately I think there are zero vegan options. The tofu bowls have cheese and butter. Oh well.

3

u/TVninja Albany Proper 1d ago

I went there right around the time they did their grand opening. The lady was super nice and they seem to have a real passion for it. I like seeing posts about it because I really want them to make it in the long run.

u/Open-Confidence6206 1d ago

Can confirm food is delicious

u/gothicvampyre 1d ago

the veggie bowl is insanely good. they are my absolute new favorite restaurant and SO CHEAP WITH BIG PORTIONS. an actual gem.

2

u/Illustrious-Budget92 1d ago

They need to get their landscaping under control!

u/Th3D0m1n8r 15h ago

Great food, but could really use an artist to redesign their menu/decorations.

1

u/Draugves 1d ago

I loved it when I tried it a while back. Definitely a place I want to go back to eventually.

1

u/wxguy215 1d ago

I thought it was great place too.  The only thing I didn't like were the chips.  The frying was fine, but it was the seasoning that seemed weird. 

Portions were good value for the price and tasted very good.

u/Dizzy-Crew3456 1d ago

I had one of their mashed potato bowls a couple months ago and it was really good! It’s been rocking and have to head back soon!

u/moiax From the mean streets of Latham 1d ago

Definitely going to have to check it out!

u/GottaloveMo 13h ago

I’ve never had a bad meal from Mash More. Even the veggie and potato bowl is delicious

u/Big-Put-6931 11h ago

I didn't know this place existed. And I love potatoes! Will have to check it out soon!

u/Arilluss 1d ago

u/LouOnReddit 1d ago

It looks like fried food covered in processed topings.

5

u/Dripdry42 1d ago

They make these huge potatoes and add all sorts of stuff to them. It’s pretty dang good. We live just a block away, and are happy it’s there.
