“Mash Hoagies- Palm Bay- 3 Stars As I left MASH Hoagies in Palm Bay, full but not completely satisfied, I couldn't help but think of the late, great Rodney Dangerfield who once said, "I get no respect, I tell ya. The way my luck is running, if I was a politician, I would be honest." That is exactly how Sonny, the owner of MASH Hoagie's struck me. He is an honest, hard-working fellow, who wants nothing but to make the best product he can for his customers. Unfortunately, circumstances beyond his control prevent him from doing just that. Wanting to grasp the ever-elusive American Dream, Sonny purchased MASH Hoagies less than two months ago and is giving it the old college try. Sadly, it would appear, he is dying on the vine so to speak. Running a restaurant is a tough enough industry in which to find success, add to that buying a place with "meh" reviews to begin with and you have your work cut out for you. This eatery has everything you want in a casual dining experience: a clean, well lit, spacious dining area (including outdoor seating) and a friendly, helpful, motivated, on point staff. The only thing missing here is quality meats. I am sure that Sonny bought the place with the meat distributor already in place. Being a new owner, I don't blame him for sticking with them while he gets his feet wet in the marketplace. However, that time has long passed and it is time he moves beyond the shredded, pressed, sliced and processed meats (ala Subway and Jersey Mike's) and goes with a real meat distributor like Boar's Head or Deli Master's. I ordered "The Colonel Blake" as I never really got over Radar's infamous line, "I have a message. Lieutenant Colonel ... Henry Blake's plane ... was shot down ... over the Sea of Japan. It spun in ... there were no survivors." and I felt I needed the closure. I continued small talk with the engaging owner as he handcrafted my sub so that I could, in my own small way, say,"Abyssinia," to Col. Blake. The first thing that caught my eye was the way Sonny cuts the bread for his sandwiches; akin to how Subway originally cut theirs, he "scoops" out the top and makes a long bread bowl in which to ply his craft. He then expertly lays the ingredients down with care and genuine passion for his food. The green, crisp lettuce is placed on the bottom, followed by garden fresh tomatoes and then the whole kit and caboodle heads south with the introduction of the processed meat food product stacked high -- all topped off with your selection of sliced cheese. Everything was great, except, as noted before, the processed meats. If Sonny gets a new meat distributor I'll be back, meanwhile, The Big Boy says, "It's not bad if you're in a pinch and it has a great owner, but your food dollar would be better spent elsewhere.“
“I was there Saturday night, we went through the drive through and this kind young lady Breanna took our order. She had an amazing attitude and was so nice to me and best friend. She made us feel very welcome and helped us out with a big smile on her face. Amazing work Breanna she really deserves a raise.“
“I order a pizza tonight the delivery driver was being rude to my disabled aunt who answered the door telling her he drove a long way and needs his cash tip....which I was literally in the process of getting for him. When I said: hey whats going on, that's rude i am getting it. He told me" f you, keep your fking money. Don't f**king call us again. Literally seconds from getting cash this driver already goes nuclear and curses non stop, leaving without a tip. He is on cameras freaking out. I can't believe how entitled Dave the delivery driver was. I called was told there was no manger on location was refused the driver name. Horrible experience I would not recommend them to anyone if that is kind of people they have working there.“
“We went in on a whim, we were in the process of buying a car, we found this place. We actually went somewhere else and they were too busy. We had good food and service. It is off the beaten path but definitely worth the walk. Parking isn't abundant but again I would walk a couple blocks to get there.“
“Some of the most addicting food I have ever gotten the pleasure to eat! I absolutely love this place and the people who run it. Everyone is super sweet and treats me like family.. I typically get the mixed grill platter for 2 to 3 people and it makes 6 full plates of food! This is by far some of the best food in Brevard.“
“Beachside is always a good breakfast option. The staff is always friendly. They also seem to have a low turnover in staff so something is working well there.They have what they call a Beachside Omelet on the menu that is excellent and always well prepared. If you are hungry, this is the thing to order there.The insides can certainly use a bit of sprucing up, (it is a bit dated), but does not take away from their good food.“
“My family of three typically get a large deluxe and are always happy with the results. You can taste the veggies, the pizza isn't greasy, has a crisp crust and is the perfect size to feed us for two meals. The place is pretty small, so we typically do take out.“
“This was my first visit to Pub Americana on New Haven in Melbourne. We were at a party of 17 ladies from our condo. The food was excellent. Everyone enjoyed their meal. But the best part of the experience was our server, Morgan. She single-handedly served 17 ladies lunch and did it as though she were serving a table of four. Her professionalism and attentiveness were absolutely wonderful! Morgan made our first experience at Pub Americana one to remember. Thank you, Morgan! (We will definitely be coming back!)“
“Decided to go for a birthday lunch on Easter day. Thought it would be much more crowded, but we were able to get a seat immediately. I had heard such good things about this place and was very excited to try it.We started off with the fish dip, which we could have stopped at there. Highly recommend. Good portion size and the extras are very good also. Love the pirate chips that came with. We went on to have the swordfish entree, ahi poke bowl, and the Buffalo chicken sand with fries. It's all very tasty and fresh tasting. It had been many years since having swordfish, I was impressed with the freshness and serving with rice. I can vouch for the rest as well. Because I got a taste of each, considering this was my first visit. All very good and fresh!The service was fantastic, and the staff all worked together as a team in getting the food and drink out to the tables. Kudos!I would highly recommend this restaurant for the food, drinks and excellent customer service. I will be back.“
“We had our 1st dining experience here today, but it definitely will not be the last. This is such a clean, friendly, delicious place to eat. The cheesesteak is fantastic, you don't go away hungry. This is the authentic cheesesteak, with numerous others to choose from. Much to our delight we found they even have Birch Beer soda! I can't say enough positive about this place. Thank you for such a good dining experience.“
