    Chicken rice bowl with corn, beans and lettuce.
    Henriette K.

    The chicken rice bowl, with corn, beans and lettuce was really good. $10 is definitely a lot, but I guess that's your average food truck price. The bbq sauce was my highlight though: great flavor, more sweet than spicy, and worked really well with the salad. Love it. My only complaint is: I wish they would have left the skin on the chicken. Or maybe ask - because I love rotisserie chicken with broiled skin. Maybe next time.

    I got a half chicken today. These guys are very friendly, and this is some of the best chicken that I've had. It's hard to make chicken taste outstanding, but these guys get it. Think - Super Chicken but even better. The spicy mango sauce (I believe?) was outstanding and the basil coleslaw was some of the best that I've had. $11 for a half chicken is a bit pricey, but that's food trucks for you.

    This is a great no frills food truck that does only thing but it does it really well. I ordered the half chicken which comes with rice and one side. The chicken is very well seasoned with traditional latin american spices and the skin is golden crispy goodness. The white meat was moist and tender and the dark meat not overcooked. The basil garlic cole slaw is refreshing and light. If you are a peruvian style chicken fan then dont pass by this truck without stopping.

    Wanted something different for lunch and we don't have too many option down here in the Washington SE area. So I saw OohdatChicken food truck and saw some good options. I tried the chicken rice bowl.....First bite..Great!! The chickpeas, cilantro jalapeño sauce is great not too spicy but goes with the flavors of the pico de gallo.. rice is cooked well and the most important part THE Chicken!!! Still moist and flavored.. I will eat again

While this…read morelocation is my personal favorite, you really can't go wrong with any of their locations across DC, Maryland, and Virginia. This Black-owned restaurant has built a reputation for serving some of the best fried chicken sandwiches in the area, and after one visit, it's easy to understand the hype. The Honey Butter Chicken Sandwich deserves every bit of praise it gets -- perfectly crispy chicken, soft bread, and that sweet/spicy balance that keeps you coming back. The OG Nashville sandwich is another standout if you like heat with real flavor behind it. Their tenders are always juicy, the fries are seasoned well, and the Rooster Sauce should honestly be bottled and sold separately. Breakfast is also severely underrated here. The honey butter biscuit and chicken biscuit are easily some of the best breakfast sandwiches in DC. What I appreciate most is the consistency. The chicken is always fresh, crispy, and cooked to order. Portion sizes are generous, and even online reviewers constantly mention how flavorful the sandwiches are and how the fries alone can feed multiple people. The DMV definitely supports this place for a reason. Reddit threads regularly call it one of the best chicken sandwich spots in DC, with people saying the Honey Butter sandwich is "life changing" and even comparing it favorably against national chains. If you're visiting U Street and craving comfort food done right, Roaming Rooster absolutely deserves a stop.

    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.

I got the hot which I was happy with, but fair warning there are big chunks of jalapeño in the slaw so dont overestimate your ability to do heat. The dressing on the slaw is a bit sweet and that counters a bit of the spice. This is a nice sized meal, a good amount of both slaw and chicken, and if that isn't enough the fries are great. Since that forst time I have been there every couple weeks getting the same thing and havent had a bad experience. The chicken is great and the people I have dealt with have been very nice.

When it comes to the service I'll give it a 7, for the most part you're ordering off an iPad. If you happen to go to this exact location, depending on the time there may be a lot of loitering. Although the burgers are great I wouldn't suggest ordering fries‍ they are extremely underwhelming prepared with little to no salt.

The chicken came out with blackened edges because of their preparation method. I don't prefer that taste, but others may. I did not find the sauce to be particularly spicy so I added the 'extra hot' sauce on the side, which helped to add more flavor. Surprisingly, the chicken breast was very moist, along with the thigh. The ambience is casual and relaxed. There are plenty circular or modular seats along with smaller tables along the back end of the restaurant. My biggest complaint was their restrooms. They have gender neutral restrooms; two stalls total. Both restrooms were in great need of cleaning with a LOT of bodily fluids all along the toilets and floors. Also, there was no option for hand towels, only an air blower to dry your hands, which is one of the most disgusting ways to dry freshly washed hands. I recommend either creating one male and one female stall instead of unisex because men and women have very different habits in the restroom. On the positive side, Carolina and Barian were quite helpful and kind. They made the overall experience better.

The Naughty Nata custard was the best part of the meal! It was a bite-size dessert with a hint of cinnamon. The fudgey Dream Triple Chocolate Brownie was decadent and delicious as well! Nando's is a chicken lover's paradise, and wish there were more vegetarian options available.

This is definitely a hole in the wall-type restaurant. The exterior isn't great, and honestly the inside isn't much either.
