Mash Potatoes

Hidden in a small shopping center in Coral Gables is this mom and pop restaurant! It has a large menu which was unexpected for being such a small restaurant which is always a plus :) I had the l cheddar, bacon and Brie Mac n cheese! It was delicious! I ordered the half plate and I am glad I did because it was pretty big. My friends had a bacon blue cheese burger and they loved it. Both said it was juicy and just the right size. I’ll definitely be coming back.
P. S. Don’t forget to check in ;)

Awesome! Our office ordered the Cajun salmon sandwich/​wrap. The salmon was not too heavy and had a nice spicy kick. But the real star was the Truffle porcini mashed potatoes. Amazing flavor. Will be ordering again!

We ordered the Meatloaf with loaded mash potatoes and the salmon sandwich with avocado. The meatloaf was completely burnt to the point that the edges were not edible. The center of the meatloaf was extremely dry and bland. The mash potatoes were not loaded with anything, they were plain and on the dryer side, however, not as dry as the meatloaf. Please see picture.
Salmon sandwich was rather small and not on a pita as we had requested. Decent tasting.

Where has this place been all my life?! An array of different menu items: sandwiches, burgers, salads, soups, dinner plates, daily specials. Vegan items, healthy options, whatever you’re in the mood for, chances are they have you covered. Turkey meatballs are a must. And what would you eat with that? Any of the 5 variations of mashed potatoes or 5 variations of mac & cheese options. If you want great food from a great local spot, this is the place for you.

I absolutely LOVED Mashed Potatoes! I’m almost embarrassed to say that I went for the first time just a couple of weeks ago, and the restaurant has been around for a couple of years. I can tell you, I will be a regular.
Hidden in a small strip mall in South Miami, Mashed Potatoes is serving up authentic and delicious American style food. The best part about this spot is you may think because of the name they don’t have healthier options, but they so do!
When I went with my husband I ordered the special of the day, which you must always order as this is something that Chef Scott plans the week before, the ground turkey and vegetable bowl. This bowl was filled with such goodness, plus I had leftovers for lunch the next day. My husband tried the meatloaf with a side of slow roasted garlic and parsley mashed potatoes. Totally out of this world.
Don’t skip out on dessert. If you like cookies get those with a side of milk, or the paleo bites are amazing! Plus, they are diary and gluten-​free — how could you go wrong?
All-​in-​all, totally loving Mashed Potatoes!

The first time I ate at Mashed Potatoes I had delicious mac ‘n cheese with bacon & brie. Absolutely yummy.
The second time there I shared a bowl of slow roasted carrot fennel & cardamom soup & then the special — grilled salmon, asparagus, & garlic parsley mashed potatoes. Coral Gables is lucky to have such a great restaurant.

I ordered catering for a small afternoon party I was having. Chris and Scott were extremely helpful in planning my menu. We decide on the brie mac and cheese and pulled pork. The food was amazing. The following weekend, I was invited to a party and asked Chris for an appetizer. I ordered the chicken satay skewers. They were great and the dipping was delicious. Both times my orders were very good, the staff was helpful and on time. This place is great for catering and the food is amongst the best. I highly recommend them.

Excellent food and staff, but they forgot the avocado on the chicken burger and the cheese on the cheese burger (both under different, but recognizable, names on the menu). I like the charred flavor of the grilled items, and the South African flavors we can’t find elsewhere, so we will be giving them another chance.

The name Mash Potatoes has been resonating for quite a long time. My friends are always raving about it. As a «foodie» and restaurant reviewer I had to go and experience what everyone was talking about. I get there the place is packed, always a good sign. The restaurant was immaculate– spotless. I was genuinely greeted with a smile and heartfelt welcome. I noticed dishes were coming out; my nose led the way to the Mac and Cheese next to me– two different versions caught my eye. Booth versions looked scrumptious, the cheese ooze from inside. The aroma ignited my palate and senses, I was ready to order.
I ordered the Meatloaf, I believe it’s one of the Chef’s signature dishes, Mac and Cheese and the Beet Salad with Goat Cheese and Chicken. The meatloaf was tender and moist, velvety, rich and meaty in flavor. Exactly what you expect from meatloaf, you can taste all the ingredients. I wanted more! The Mac and Cheese exquisite, a perfect combination of textures-​crispy on the top and viscous in the middle. I couldn’t ask for a fresher beat salad with goat cheese and chicken on a bed of mixed greens. The salad was wonderfully earthy sweet; the homemade vinaigrette enhanced the sweetness of the Beets.
I ordered the most enjoyable and delectable chocolate mousse I have tasted in years. It was frothy, chocolaty, savory and fresh. I highly recommend the Mouse and Banana Bread. I’ve been back to Mash Potatoes four times and the experience has been delightful and satisfying. Next time you yearn for a home cooked meal, take a detour to Mash Potatoes.

I’ve been there twice now. Turkey meatballs are delicious. The macaroni and cheese five star. All of the mashed potatoes are great. I recommend the caponata and goat cheese paté

We ordered delivery via BiteSquad. I didn’t find much on the menu I was sure I would like because the menu is quite eclectic, so I decided to try the mashed potatoes (duh) and some veggie sides. Hubs got a burger and more veggie sides. Everything was über fresh and delicious. I will definitely be more adventurous when ordering from them in the future. Oh and BiteSquad rocks.

Nice place with good attention,
Main Chef «Scott» is very good!
Menu is small but good and each day have two new plate: «special of the day» and «cath of the day» (fish) with some rich soup!

This place is basically a catch 22. 22 people can take a seat inside and the catch: great food. It’s located in a small strip mall with a small amount of parking. Loved it. They are both vegetarian and gluten free friendly and everything was super tasty. My concern: I went on a Saturday for lunch and only 1 person working the whole restaurant. They did admit that they were trying two. Service was inconsistent, slow and at times forgetful, but I can understand because of the situation with staff shortage. Go for the lentil curry if it’s available. Homemade ice tea needs improvement right now. I think the ratings are accurate for this restaurant, it’s a great meal option at the prices they are giving. Run to it like a Kmart Blue Light special.

HOW did I just discover this place!?! Dietitian’s dream. Not only do they cater to the mac n’cheese aficionados of the world, but I want to burrow myself and sleep in the vegan overnight oats, the kale salad, and the kombucha. They’ll accommodate and modify any order with their devilishly fresh fare. There is free parking, efficient service, and I feel like I’m among friends. It’s sunny and bright and I would meet everyone here from a friend to a client.

Located in a peaceful shopping center near The Shops at Sunset Place; this place is a must try for those looking to try something different for lunch or maybe even dinner. They do offer dinner but the restaurant in my opinion has more of a lunch vibe. Free parking if you find a spot inside the shopping center; if you don’t find a spot inside the shopping center then you can always settle for off-​street parking. Take out your smartphones and use the «Pay by Phone» application. The coin parking meters will have the parking location number displayed.
I was welcomed by Chris (tall, dark and handsome). He was a very nice guy and smooth with his words. He recommended the «Catch of the Day» and that’s what I chose because I was very much in the mood for fish anyways. Ok pause for a second… I just got distracted by a «oh yea! That’s how Elites do it — way to represent!» message that popped up at the bottom of my review screen. I’m not used to seeing that because I wasn’t Elite last week.
You basically walk into the restaurant and there is a counter. Order what you want and the person taking your order (Chris was my guy) will point you towards your table. Once you sit… water is served. Chris will then bring your food out when ready and once you’re done with the meal you can go back to the counter and pay. Clean small restaurant. Clean restrooms. Had the opportunity to meet the restaurant manager towards the end of my visit (his name is also Chris). Reason this happened was do to the following;
Checked in using the Unilocal application and that entitles you to a «free side». The free side is mostly the mashed potato items the restaurant offers ( Unilocal will tell you what items you can choose from… but I didn’t see this). Chose the grilled asparagus with parmesan (most expensive side). I wasn’t supposed to pick this because it’s not an offered option. After explaining to the manager what happened (Chris the waiter was also unaware and apologized) I ended up getting the asparagus side as the «free side». Thank you Chris the manager.
The restaurant is known for their mashed potatoes and the Mac and cheese. Didn’t get any of this but everything was so good. The grouper was awesome. The hummus bed below the grouper was amazing. The food is fresh, made to order, natural, and tastes clean. My meal was delicious!
Thank you Mashed Potatoes for the peaceful lunch. I will be back soon.

What can i say but delicious! Working a block away from this little gem is a blessing. Talk about person service & suggestions. Daily specials that always make us leave with a smile. What would i recomment: meatloaf, any of the mac & cheese, absolutely the specials, turkey meatballs are delish and the dessert is sinful… close your eyes and pick any!!!

Holy mother of mac-​n-​cheese, where has this place been all my life!?! Everything here is outstanding — the service, friendliness, atmosphere… and then of course, the ridiculously delicious food.
I’ve had the brie and bacon mac, the truffle mac, loaded mash and pork sandwich. They all brought a very authentic and unique twist to otherwise common dishes… really good stuff here.
I recommend finishing off with the chocolate mousse for dessert and the chocolate banana bread (which gave me life)…I will definitely be back!

swing batta batta, swingggggggggggg! mashed potatoes is a home run, ya’ll!
my fellow spirit animal and fellow Unilocaler (nat g.) suggested that we eat here and i’m so happy she did.
this is what mashed potatoes is: 10 tables (give or take), flavor packed food, and great service.
here’s what i tried and what you should, too:
loaded mash potatoes (with sour scream, bacon and cheese)
truffle mac n’ cheese (prepare your taste buds)
bacon and brie mac n’ cheese (HOLY COW)
pork sandwich (delicious to the 9879^th degree)
chocolate mousse (the perfect amount of sweetness and texture)
this little gem has amazing food & i can’t wait to try other items from their menu.

Chef Scott is great !! This is the cutest must go little spot! The restaurant is called Mash potatoes but believe me they have more than potatoes to blow your mind! scott has a large selection of homemade healthy foods that are freshly made for you and delivered to your table by his very nice staff.
DONT FORGET DESSERT ! the desserts here are my favorite thing EVER! scotts homemade desserts will have you coming back for more!

Wow! Loved this spot! The service was fab and food was top notch! Make sure to check out the daily specials. I asked the chef which dessert to get and he asked me how much time and room I had left because I would want them all :) Really enjoyed the chocolate mousse. For dinner I tried the curry dish and also the shrimp and grits… yummy!
Easy to park and seating inside is tight but reminded me of eating abroad.
