    I come here on Tuesday evenings. On my way home from work in downtown Silver Spring. I've had the chicken with yucca, the pupusas, and the steak tacos. All have been excellent. The stand that really is the steak taco, so I highly recommend it.

    This place is a hidden gem! I hope they survive the pandemic. It's similar to pollo silvestre in Hyattsville. I was hoping for the same flavor and it's exact. Steak is very overdone but the fajitas mixtas platter was absolutely delicious. The black beans are so flavorful. Surprised there isn't more on this place!

    I came for the fried chicken but fell in love with the BBQ!!! Actually it was all delivered but you…read moreknow what I mean. I'll get the only fail out of the way. The Chicken tenders weren't tender and the coating was over-salted. The full rack of BBQ Pork ribs was a winner, tender and meaty with great flavor. The Slow-smoked Chicken is delicious and a nice, moist change from the usual chicken treatments. The Smoked Chicken Wings were great too. I wouldn't get the Texas Beef Brisket or the Carolina Pulled Pork again, but they weren't bad, just lots of other choices that were better! The sides here are stand-outs too. I almost didn't get the vegetarian Collard Greens since I love collards cooked with meat but these were delicious -- they never made it to the microwave, they were so vinegary-good when I sampled them cold lol! The Mac & Cheese was good and cheesy. The baked beans were good but again vegetarian where I'd prefer meat included and I didn't care for the sweet sauce. The Skillet Cornbread is the best I've had, slightly sweet with a good corn flavor that made me decide to buy a WHOLE skillet rather than just the generously portioned slice next time, especially since it's such a good value. I do regret not trying the coleslaw and potato salad so again, next time. The little rolls are tasty too, moist and slightly sweet but it's a pity they aren't burger-size so you can make a sandwich with all that delicious meat and sides.

    Had the legendary spicy chicken and it was delicious, hot, and huge with a thick crusted coating…read more In addition to the collard greens with a garlicky and apple cider vinegar hint. I don't recall any meat in the greens. And, the Mac and cheese, I enjoyed the texture, but wish the flavor profile had sharp cheddar cheese, but it was still good. Making my way through the list of things worth trying so far --the visit score is 2 & 0!

    Overall 3.5* Decent grub and definitely willing to come back and try more items from the menu…read more What we got: Original Nashville (heatwave) - 3.5* good chicken, decent flavour. The spice is a powdered seasoning that they add to the chicken. Waffle fries (large) - 3.*5 my partner liked them more than I did but still decent fries. Probably wouldn't get the large again and just stick with the medium.

    Solid fried chicken and fries! I was a bit skeptical of this place given some reviews I saw online…read morebut I think my positive experience came down to what to order. This is a really chicken spot (even though they have burgers) so you're kind of doing a disservice not getting chicken. I ordered a chicken sandwich meal, that came with fries and a drink for $12. Great deal. It was a bit busy so we waited a bit but when the food came it was piping hot! It also comes with their signature sauce and the garlic pepper sauce. I didn't love the signature sauce but the garlic pepper sauce is like crack, I poured it all over my sandwich and the fries. It was a really solid sandwich. The only downside was the seating inside isn't great. There are a few high top seats near the door and another table with chairs toward the back. It felt a little cramped no matter where you sat. It's definitely more of a grab and go vibe, but the seating would be fine if it was an off time of day. But that won't stop me, I'd definitely go back!

    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 ordered 2 whiting plates. One with collard greens with smoked turkey and fries and the other with Mac n cheese and rice and gravy. The fries were good. The whiting was fried to perfection. I also like the greens (I'm a southerner so I'm a bit hard to please). Everything was reasonably priced. The restaurant had nice music playing and has a bit of a lounge feel with the dark walls. It wasn't crowded on a Friday during lunch time. I'd go back for sure.

There is some parking in front and there is a parking garage that is within walking distance. I ordered wings and a meatloaf platter that came with two sides. I ordered lemon pepper and the sticky wings. The wings were crispy but lacked the lemon pepper flavor. I wish the stinky wings had more of the sauce on them. The meatloaf was seasoned well. You could get smothered with gravy or their bbq sauce. For my sides I ordered the greens and mashed potatoes with gravy. The greens were seasoned well. I don't know if I would go back, simply because it was really far out for me. If you are in the area I would say am check it out. The staff and service was amazing.
