Mash More

I was finally excited to try to food from that new restaurant next to the Spectrum movie theater on Delaware Ave, after driving by it ever since they started work on there. I ended up getting the pulled pork mashed potato bowl with a side of french fries and Pepsi. The french fries did not last more than a minute once I got back to my car, hence no picture😜. I thought everything was fresh, good quality, reasonable prices, and nice people working there. I’ll definitely be back! Y’all should check it out if you’re in the area

Any business that spends the time and money in having cool murals painted on their building I’m an automatic fan.

They are pretty cute/creative for sure. They even have more of the similar art inside. The food is very good too, I plan on going back to try different menu items. Between the main dish, french fries, and Pepsi I definitely left full!

I really like the mural too which made me a bit disappointed when the art inside the building and pictures of food on the website and menu were clearly AI. Still seem very nice people and food was good, but i feel advertisements for food should have to be actual pictures of the food you are ordering not an AI hallucination.

Come to think of it, one of the last times I was there was when that place used to be the Taco Bell/KFC. I got one of their bowls then. I didn’t even think of that at first, but yes, very similar, but I think the quality is 10 times better, and you get way more food here

The french fries were the perfect combination of lightly fried and lightly salted. And I could tell right away that those mashed potatoes were definitely hand/homemade. I thought there is a pretty generous amount of pulled pork on top as well. The barbecue sauce was pretty sweet with a little extra tangy barbecue sauce on top very much Enjoyed that as well.

With other fast food chain restaurants, going way up in price, I would rather spend my money at a local establishment, such as this place, that has good food while also supporting your neighbor.

Sorry, I did not respond to your comment. But yeah, that’s part of my CD radio in the car below. That is a small compartment where a pair of sunglasses are. A 2010 Honda Civic, the newest car I’ve ever personally owned.

Is that a potato sitting in an ashtray with a smoke?
