The seasoning was on point, and the chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and deliciously tender inside. And that roll?! It tasted like a sweet Hawaiian roll on steroids. SO good! The sides were equally amazing and definitely held their own. I don't know exactly how Honeymoon Chicken got its name, but after eating this chicken, I can absolutely see how it could put you in that honeymoon phase. It was THAT good! I'll definitely be back for more.

The Red Hot Dust was especially good, and I loved that they have both fried chicken and lobster options on the menu. That said, the service was unfortunately disappointing during our visit. We received the wrong side sauce and had to ask for water, plates, silverware, and napkins. I also wanted to add a couple more things to our order, but it took so long for someone to come back around that we eventually just gave up on adding them. It felt like we had to repeatedly ask for basic things throughout the meal, which took away from what could have been a really great dining experience. Overall, I would come back for the food because it was genuinely amazing, but I hope the service improves because the food definitely deserves better hospitality.

This fried chicken could actually rival that of local chicken sandwich chain Roaming Rooster. That…read morewas my first thought when I opened the box of my Honey Butter Buzz chicken sandwich. Eaten fresh at the gas station, the chicken was still steaming after I took my first few bites. I ordered it "spicy" and it was just the right level for me. Like Roaming Rooster's honey butter chicken sandwich, Nash and Smashed's also has cheese in it, which I think overpowered the honey butter oozing from the top of the chicken. The chicken itself, though, was delicious and juicy. I got a side of their creamy signature sauce in the bag, but I did not really need it since there was already plenty of sauce for me inside the sandwich. It probably would have gone well with their waffle fries had I gotten them. The sandwich alone was enough to fill me up. A big reason for me coming to Nash and Smashed was a 3.99 deal for the Oh My Thigh chicken sandwich that they advertised on their Instagram page. I was bummed to learn this location was not doing it. This gas station version of their menu didn't even have that chicken on it, so the worker had no idea what I was talking about. Just a warning if you see any deal on their social media page. There's stool seating on the side with a lovely view of the gas station and Connecticut Ave out the window. There was enough room for four to five people. Another comparison to Roaming Rooster, the chicken sandwich prices are a little cheaper than RR's. Only a few menu items sound similar, but Nash and Smashed has a larger selection of burgers, chicken buckets, sides, and drinks. FWIW some guys next to me raved about their hamburgers, especially the sauce.

Opportunity arose when my friends who eat halal were looking for a place, and they all thought the fried chicken was really good. The fried chicken was really crispy and juicy. I wouldn't recommend the sides, and it did take a while for the food to come out, so I think the food is prepared to order, so not something you can get if you're just getting gas and want the food quickly. There is minimal bar seating inside as well. Support the local gas station restaurants!!!

The Koran styled fried chicken has a light and crispy skin, excellent seasoning as they season it again once it's cooked. The cider slaw is perfect to cut the heat.

This time around I got a mild chicken sandwich to avoid spicy food for that week. But I will always stick with the medium spice level because it's not too spicy for me!

Also, I got the loaded fries which was delicious with cheese, chicken, and fries! Very nice service and lots of seating available. Also there's a kiosk available if you don't feel like ordering in person!

The spot is hard to find because it shares the space with 2 other restaurants, the Bier Haus and a vegan concept. This is one of those places that thinks heaping a bunch of ingredients on the food makes up for the subpar quality. The chicken itself was dry and unseasoned, nothing like authentic Karaage. I can make far better myself at home. The onion rings were run of the mill, didn't seem house made.They get an extra star because the staff was very friendly and attentive and the kids enjoyed their meals. $40+ for mediocre food?

The tater tots didn't seem fully cooked and had a very weird texture. The chicken was overcooked and I'm very suspicious that they weren't made from actual tenders, but from the breast meat instead. A truly horrible experience. I created a Yelp account just to leave this review in the hope of dissuading even one person from eating this food.

Ehhh...I was hoping for something better but got just ok…read more Located in Pike and Rose off Old Georgetown Rd, it's situated in a really good area. I went around 6 pm on a Saturday and it was pretty empty at the time. There are kiosks that you can order at or you can order at the counter. I ordered the 3 wings (whole) and a side of fries. I didn't have to wait long and when I got my bag the food was hot!!!! I probably should have gotten what they are known for (chicken sandwiches) but I wanted wings badly. The fries were good but could've used just a little more time in the grease to make them a bit crispier. The wings were served hot and fresh out the grease. I was expecting great and got just ok. The wings lacked flavor and could have been fried a tad bit longer for a crispier bite. I was almost afraid that they were undercooked, so I ate only one wing out of caution. I will go back, but only for reputable menu items and not the wings. Also...the restaurant was fairly clean (likely bc it was empty) but could have used a once over as it appeared that the dining floors were swept but the dirt was left in a corner; this could appear as if the restaurant wasn't a tidy as it needed to be. Overall, I'll give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

I dropped by Roaming Rooster because I was having a fried chicken craving, and I wanted to try…read moresomething a bit new. Although I've seen quite a few Roaming Roosters sprout up in the area, I figured that it was time to try out the food. For my order, I went with the chicken tenders (3-4 pieces) and a cup of fries. The order was about $14 without tip. I thought the portion size of the tenders and fries were pretty good based on what I have received from other chicken spots in the area. An order of fries is about four bucks (I didn't see any combo meals on the menu), but you will receive A LOT of fries. If you are dining with someone, you might want to split an order of fries unless you are super hungry. The tenders, which have three spice levels (mild, medium and hot) will come out PIPING hot, which is a good thing. I even had to wait a few minutes to eat the chicken because the food was so hot. I guess this definitely is a good thing if you are doing take out because the food will not be cold as ice by the time you arrive home...depending on how far you live from the restaurant. Overall, I thought the food was delicious, and the spice level of medium just was what I was looking for. I thought it was kind of funny/interesting that the chicken tenders were served on a plain white piece of bread with three pickles, but I guess that's just how Roaming Rooster does it. Perhaps, the bread is there to soak up some of the oil from the chicken, which I guess is a good thing. The fries were pretty awesome because they reminded me a bit of the fries from Five Guys, which I LOVE. Service was fine. One of the workers seemed to be a bit grumpy, but the woman who took my order had a nicer attitude. I stopped by around 6/7 pm so maybe the worker was just over their workday...a mental state that probably all of us has experienced on multiple occasions. The restaurant has a decent dining area with a small outdoor section (I believe there is an upper dining area too). Personally, I was not a fan of the outdoor dining section because it shares a walkway where customers/delivery people are entering and leaving the restaurant.

I went into the establishment, and we were not greeted, and I joked with my mom thinking that I might as well need to put on an apron and work there part time, as the staff noticed us numerous times with no greeting, no offering for assistance, no customer service skills or care in the world none of the above. The wait was a bit long, as we were patient and I was kind enough to thank the man, and he was a stone wall. The delivery man was funny and called them goofy and told them off, as his livelihood depended on them providing swift and reliable customer service, but no and the delivery man although unfiltered said what others thought but were too polite due to social norms to unleash on these fools. The chicken sandwich itself was great not too salty and not too crunchy or friend hard with good sauces and the mac and cheese was not bad and milkshake nice and thick. I value customer service a bit too, so until that improves, this place won't get more than a mediocre reviews by me. I would recommend to order in advance to avoid the long wait times and unfriendly, lazy, unaccommodating staff. You will get fired on your lunch break coming in here not trying to order in advance. They need to step their game up with the customer service. I never give 4 to 5 stars to places that severely lack in one area or another. Food: 4 to 5 stars Customer Service 1 to 0 to negative stars, so guess what 2 overall is your score, please step your game up; it is unacceptable for customers to be neglected and treated poorly.

We came during happy…read morehour, hoping to sit at the bar and enjoy the food menu, but unfortunately, the bar seats were full. We ended up sitting at a table and enjoyed a variety of dishes along with some happy hour drinks. The ambiance is clean, modern, and pretty cool. The service was fairly quick overall, and our food arrived fresh without much waiting. My first drink was the white sangria, which was well-balanced, moderately sweet, and refreshing. The wines we tried also had great flavor. The happy hour deals on the alcohol menu are especially generous, so I highly recommend taking advantage of them. The ceviche sampler included traditional, cremoso, and callejero. Each ceviche was unique and packed with flavor. My personal favorite was the street-style ceviche, callejero. The tostones, or crispy fried plantains, were light and crunchy. My partner isn't a big fan of mayo-forward sauces, but he really enjoyed the crab salad topping because it paired well with the tostone. My favorite was the shrimp topping as the shrimp were perfectly cooked and well-seasoned. The conchitas a la parmesana was another interesting dish featuring seared scallops. They were grilled with a creamy Parmesan sauce and served with ciabatta. I found that the sauce was a little overpowering and took away from the scallop itself, but I really enjoyed eating it with the ciabatta. Lastly, we ordered two empanadas: one chicken and one made with a mix of sirloin and tenderloin. The dough was a little too oily for my taste, but it was thin and flaky. The chicken and beef fillings had slightly different seasonings and textures, and both were enjoyable. If I could add one thing, I wish our server had explained more about the menu or drinks when she asked whether it was our first time there. She also wasn't around the table consistently, which made it a little difficult to order additional drinks and dishes. Other than that, we really enjoyed the meal, and I'm glad we came here. I'd love to come back for brunch or another happy hour!
