**INITIAL REVIEW** Out of all the sub and hoagie restaurants located within southern Brevard County, specifically Palm Bay, Malabar, and Bayside Lakes, the one location that is both historic and iconic is Mash Hoagies (which I will shorthand simply to Mash for the remainder of this review). Mash has been in the same location for literal decades in the Palm Bay West just north of Winn Dixie (soon to be Aldi) and Little Ceasar's. First and foremost, Mash isn't the most visually-appealing place to eat. The dining room setup and colors are definitely out of the 70s, the time when the show the restaurant is based on, M*A*S*H*, came out. The walls right above each both showcases handdrawn charicaures of the actors in character. The cleanliness of the restaurant is up-to-par but more on the lines of better than fast food but just as good as fast casual. What makes Mash one of the best places to get your hoagies are three things: the family friendliness, the better-than-fair prices, and the overall deliciousness of the food. As an example, I will describe one of my orders with them, the "Italian Special" known as the Hawkeye. Named after the character, Hawkeye Pierce, played by Alan Alda and Donald Sutherland, the footlong sandwich consists of ham, capicola, salami, and provolone. You can load any sandwich to the brim with basic ingredients with premium ingredients costing a little bit more. But for $12 for a homemade behometh of a sandwich that is sure to feed a regular person three meals a day, it is a delicous steal. Add on top that the staff is friendly and sometimes will have a nice conversation with you while they make your sandwich. As mentioned earlier, Mash is homegrown with multiple decades serving the community. They have developed a family feel that has kept them more than alive and kicking through the highest highs like when Palm Bay West was the "it strip mall" for Palm Bay (because it was the only major strip mall in Palm Bay) to downward slumps like the (illegal?) pandemic. My suggestion is Carissa. She is very kind and she's been the one to make my sandwich almost every single time I have been there since I started Yelp (Eliting!). I must stress that overall, Mash does not have "the best" particular sandwich I can think of off the top of my head, but they are more than satisfactory and acceptable. For example, I can name a couple of Cuban restaurants that do better Cuban sandwiches than Mash (Hemingway's Tavern and El Ambia for example), but you can't go wrong if you want a Cuban from them either for convenience, price, etc. Given the many times I have been here pre-Yelp as well during my Yelp career, I am going to give Mash a five-out-five star rating. They've always been delicious with good food, good prices, and good service. As for restaurants within Palm Bay West, you can't go any better. read more

I hadn't been here in a while. I ordered the meatball parm hoagie and a side of fries. I would pass on the meatball parm. The bread was super fresh and the cheese was great. The meatballs are bland and the sauce is also. The tips of the fries were burnt. If you want to take the time and cut off the tips, then the fries will be good. They also have curly fries. I will try an Italian next time. read more

Experience: I had a bought a group a while back and needed to use it up, and just happen to be in the area. It was a Saturday morning at 10:45. Facility: This is a small place located in a strip mall with Winn Dixie a few stores down. There are some tables and chairs to sit on if you want to stay. They have a ton of snacks out along the counter where you order and drink station on the opposite wall. Service: 5/5 Megan helped me and she was nice and patient. She talked me through the popular items and helped me narrow down my selection since there are a lot of choices. I ordered my food to go. I have to give extra kudos to the way they so thoughtfully packed the food. The sandwich was in nice thick paper so the oil won't leak through. They put a piece of cellophane over the salad to help keep it in place. They actually put napkins, utensils and crackers in for my salad. And they put things in separate paper bags for protection. Food: Italian - 4/5 unfortunately the bread was stale. But the meats and toppings were delicious... could use a little more salt and pepper though. But I love the way they wrapped a piece of ham around the toppings so they don't fall out when you take a bite. With fresh bread, this would have been a 5/5. Chef salad - 5/5 this salad was giant! Loved the toppings and the value for your money. Cheese sticks 2/5 They cook these in an air fryer and it is very obvious. Maybe some people prefer it this way, but the breading is just too bread-y when they don't fry it traditionally in oil. It's not as crunchy and it is lacking some of the flavor from the oil. I know you are saving my heart some of the bad fats, but maybe it's just a personal preference but I just don't like these cooked in an air fryer. Overall: I like this place. I will come back and try some more options. read more

Amazing service love the girls this place is great . Great food always makes everything like I like it .

always the best subs, service is always good and the place is super clean. Love this place for subs.

Mash Hoagies is a very old local sub shop. This place has been open longer than ive lived in Palm Bay! The interior is a little date but clean and taken care of. Hard to point anything out. The owners do a really good job. The lady working was very nice, said hello when I walked in and yellee goodbay and thank you from the back as I was leaving. I appreciate good service. Food: I got a hoagie from the hoagie shop. The sub was good. One thing I noticed, in these old sandwiches shops. The mustard just taste different. I could even say its old world flavor at this point in my life. Its as if they make it on site. Having these old school flavors in your mouth gave me flash backs of when they had 1 pinball machine in the back and id beg to go here while my parents shopped at Winn Dixie. Bottom line: Mash is a great place with owners who are consistently great and work hard to shine. While most people will not relate to the charters name and subs. Its ok, its a working recipe. I cant help but wonder if ordering a Klinger sub is consider PC in the current atmosphere. Thanks for having in there all these years! read more

Delicious sub. I got a meatball sub. It was good. I would definitely come here again. Place was very clean and neat. And the girls take the order were very pleasant and courteous read more

I love places like this. Unique local and delicious. The folks behind the counter got my sense of humor and gave it right back. The meals were delicious as well as fairly priced. I'd go back when I. Palm Bay. read more

Shout out to a sub shop that's been around forever! I live in Orlando and frequent my hometown PB here and there for family. I ordered a sub from here today, because I already knew it was good, and made my adult order because I only came here as a kid prior. The sub was a full foot long and delicious. It was also ready in a few minutes ! I was too hungry to take a photo of the actual sub... read more

Tried Mash Hoagies since we pass it all the time. The food was really good. We had a chicken Greek salad, the chicken bacon provolone sandwich, and fries. The portion sizes were nice and the food was made fresh. The staff was also friendly when I went to pick up the food. We will definitely return to try other menu options. read more

Mash had great reviews so I decided to check it out. I ordered the Hawkeye, an Italian sub. The bread was soft and fresh and the sub was loaded up. This place is a winner, and I will be returning. Cheers read more

Great place, great food. We were I. Town for our Moms 93rd birthday and she wanted a hoagie. They made her order just as she wanted it.

I have had at least 30 hot pastrami subs here at mash and every one of them has been great. I have also had quite a few colonel Blake's ( ham,turkey,roast beef and cheese ) and they have all been great too. Consistently good all the time. read more

This was our 1st time at Mash Hoagies. There were 4 of us plus we got 2 hoagies to go so some friends. We had the hot pastrami with cheese, a Ruben, an Italian sub and a hot pastrami with coleslaw and mustard. The server brought my hot pastrami without the coleslaw and when I reminded her that it was supposed to have coleslaw on it she replied "I only have 2 hands!" I found her response rude. The sandwiches were just "ok" and frankly not sure I will return since the server was so rude. read more

I like to customize and make my own, so I ordered The Hawkeye Italian and opted to have it pressed on Cuban bread. I love veggies and all the fixings so had it the Mash Way and added sprouts. It was a good sandwich. I ordered in advance through the Yelp Grubhub pickup option and had it in about 40 minutes. Not the best in the area but good. I would try again. read more

Amazing subs. Best in Brevard county. We have tried many others in the area and no one compares to Mash

Let's talk hoagies. Wanted to try something new so headed to Mash Hoagies in Palm Bay. Though the plaza was underwhelming, the friendly staff made it worth the walk through the door! The food was good!!! I got the pastrami with chips and Rob got the sausage and a side of chilli Mac. It was worth the drive. The menu is pretty big so I am sure you can find something good to eat! read more

Mash is a local treasure. Don't let the location or appearance fool you. This is the best sandwich place in Palm Bay and maybe all of Brevard County. read more

Staff were friendly and welcoming. I love a good cheese steak, so we tried one of each. One, was fantastic, the other was just okay. Bread soft and fresh, veggies were fresh and well cooked. Clean environment and if you are a fan of M*A*S*H this is the place for you. Lady there said it was started by Alan Alda. Lots of Mash bling. read more

Came in today on a whim, and SO glad we did! My husband had the meatball sub and I had the Hawkeye. He finished his, but I could only eat half. They are HUGE! The service was awesome, friendly staff, very helpful. The ambiance overall is great, nice and clean, steady flow of happy customers, several who seem like they are regulars. Can't wait to come again! read more

Mash Hoagies - This is half of the "Hawkeye" - Salad Near Me - Palm Bay, Florida

The sandwiches were huge, full of meats and goodies, rolls were fresh and delicious. Well worth the price. We will be back!!!

Long story short, my parents bought a plot of land near here years and years ago, so I came to see it and then needed some eats. Mash Hoagies is located in a strip mall in Florida (shocking no one). They do make a ridiculously delicious hoagie. The interior is pretty stark and cafeteria-y, but based on all the reviews I had to stop. It also had two large tvs, one on baseball and the other showing soccer. There was plenty of seating, but I was on of only a few customers. It was also one of the few places in Palm Bay open on Sunday that I was interested in going to. I ordered the Hawkeye (first thing on the menu and their signature hoagie). I love me an Italian hoagie too. It came out on soft bread, and cut in half. I was a bit taken aback by the meat layer on top originally because I thought it was paper. I then realize the FREAKIN GENIUS of this is to keep in all the fixings. So smart! I briefly spoke with the owner and he told me the history of Mash Hoagies and that he plans to expand to other locations in the future. The staff was super nice and they accommodated me when I realized that it was near closing time and also near dinner time (it was a late lunch) so they wrapped the other half for me. If there were a Mash Hoagies near me, I'd eat there all the time. I love thir hoagies! I just wish I'd had a chance to try some of their other offerings. read more

chicken tender were good and came out very quick. The team was really nice and patient as we decided what we wanted

As a dasher, you come across tons of restaurants you desire to try and help you decide what you desire to eat that day. I desired a Philly steak and wanted to give this place a try. It's a nice place in a standard store setting, you can see the employees prepare your food, plenty of seating and a clean place. Staff is very friendly and accommodating if you have children who have different food to be allowed to eat their food in the restaurant. That won special attention from me. The sandwich was ok, I was glad I did only get half as you can see in the picture. There is nothing special about the sand which. The presentation sucked, I enjoyed the peppers and onions, but would've preferred them cooked. The steak was bland, not seasoned or giving off a happy feeling. I normally don't do mayonnaise, but I'm glad I did this time because it helped the sandwich. The choice of hoagie they used was excellent . I will try one more time, but with a different sandwich! read more

Delicious! I got the club with all the fixings 10/10. The staff was very nice and store was clean. Will eat here again.

Reuben The MASH way and Pure Leaf tea. The bread was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the toppings were abundant and flavorful, the sauce was just enough and not overwhelming. If you want a great sandwich, come on over and get MASH'd! read more

Killer sandwich! Cool little spot & reminds me of when I used to go to the one in Cocoa Beach. Great food & friendly service. Will definitely be back! read more

Great friendly service and awesome sandwiches, my new lunch spot. I will be recommending this to everyone.

Unfortunately my bus ride took 2.30 hours to get home due to an accident. So I didn't get to taste my hoagie. It went bad by the time I got home. But the service was so splendid and polite something rare around here lately(Florida or Brevard idk). They had many guests and I went because I'd rather spend my money at non chains like Subway. Thank you for being nice and greeting me. read more

Alright,Maybe it's just me, I mean, I am a yankee from what I've been told so many times since I've moved to this swamp! Lol .... I'm sorry I haven't stopped into Mash Hoagies sooner. Today I placed an order for 2 Hawkeyes. The girl that answered the phone was very helpful in helping me decide what I wanted on my 2 Hawkeyes, WE MASHED THEM. Excellent choice, thank you! My order was ready before the time projected. The store was very clean, and I was greeted immediately upon entry. Paid for my order, and the friendly staff said thanks for stopping in. Okay, on to the hoagies! WOW, absolutely amazing! The bread was fresh, the MASH way is the way to go! No more Publix for subs, hoagies, or whatever you want to call them, we can't wait to try more stuff off the menu. See you this weekend.... thank you fur responding back! Support your local business. read more

The Brooklyn Sandwich was AMAZING!!!! I ordered through doordash and everything came as requested and the drop off was great.

Moved here 18 months ago and it took me that long to make it to MASH, that was my bad, I should have come here long before. Really good sub, I had high expectations because I heard good things and they certainly met them. Even on a Sunday afternoon they were busy but they told every customer that came in the door it would be a 20 to 30 min wait, some people left when they heard that, but it's their loss. My sub was certainly worth the price and the wait, the bread is so good, I could eat a toe jam sandwich on that bread. read more

Staff was friendly, prices good, the food was fantastic and served quickly. Our kids ate significantly more than we typically see....they surely liked it. Plenty of chip and drink choices. It was easily better and got more than other sub/hoagie places. Definitely worth our 30 min drive that we'll be making again. If you've been to a Larry's before this reminds me of it (but this is better). Easily worth a stop! read more

Was really surprised that this restaurant is not only not wearing masks nor are they not wearing gloves while preppy food. Customers are walking around not wearing masks. Definitely not even trying to protect its patrons. Would have loved to try the place, but it's unfortunate that my family and I walked out read more

Really great food and staff I thought the food here was really good and hefty. The lady was nice and had good recommendations being our first time there. read more

Way too expensive for a small sub and cheap enough that you don't have the entire roll filled with whatever you're offering.
