My niece and I decided to try Honeymoon Chicken after a friend recommended it. Our first waitress…read morewas kind, but she switched out with another server who came across as argumentative. When I politely mentioned that the drink brought to me tasted like regular Coke instead of Diet Coke, she seemed more interested in debating it than simply replacing it. After trying a little bit of everything on the menu, we went back to our hotel and both became extremely sick. I truly hope it was just an unfortunate case of food poisoning and nothing more serious, but the experience completely ruined part of our trip. I ended up stuck in the hotel for two days feeling sicker than a dog. Unfortunately, based on our experience, I can't recommend this restaurant.

My partner got the Chop Chop Chicken, which is a nice portion of stewed chicken with pepper and carrot over rice and beans and comes with a salad. We ordered and the food came quickly.

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.

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! It has the perfect amount of kick without it being overwhelming. I love the coleslaw and sauce that goes into it. Very savory! 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 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.

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.

OG Nashville sandwich (extra hot): Good cook on the chicken, but I would prefer a saucier offering. Also, "extra hot" it was not, there was a little heat but no where near enough IMO. Fries: Very good! Crispy, well salted, and a good sized portion. Lemonade: Less sweet then I expected, which I enjoyed, but I wished it was more tart if it's not going to be overly sugary.

The restaurant had a vibrant atmosphere, great energy, and still managed to feel relaxed and enjoyable despite the holiday crowd. The food was exceptional from beginning to end.

The seafood rice was easily one of the highlights -- packed with seafood, full of flavor, and cooked perfectly. The fried seafood dish had a light, crispy texture without feeling heavy, and every bite tasted fresh and well prepared. We finished with dessert, and it was the perfect ending to an amazing meal. What impressed us the most was how well everything was handled on such a busy day. Mother's Day restaurants can sometimes feel rushed or overwhelming, but that was not the case here. The staff stayed attentive, friendly, and organized throughout our visit, making us feel welcomed and taken care of. Pisco y Nazca Bethesda delivered exactly what a celebration meal should be -- outstanding food, excellent service, and an atmosphere that made spending time with family feel even more special.

Bonus points for the strawberries marinating in the cocktail because yes, I absolutely used my fork to scoop them out of the glass. No shame. The ceviche sampler was fresh, bright, and flavorful. The Nikkei Sticky Ribs were deliciously sticky and savory. The scallop dish gave me chargrilled oyster vibes. And the pork belly bao buns? That crispy-yet-chewy pork belly skin was a whole moment.
