Lunch is a tricky meal. You want something fast, but you don't want to settle for a cold deli sandwich. When noon rolls around and you start searching for the best lunch specials or a satisfying lunch combo near you, the choices can feel surprisingly limited. Too many quick-service counters hand you limp, pre-packaged food that leaves you unsatisfied, while full-service sit-down restaurants take far too long for a standard lunch break.
At Nash & Smashed, we built our midday menu to solve that exact dilemma. Whether you are stepping out of the office for a quick breather, meeting a colleague, or picking up a hot meal to power through the rest of the workday, our lunch combos deliver big, bold flavor at lightning speed.
The Perfect Portion
Our lunch specials are designed to get you in, get you fed, and get you back to your day without putting you into a food coma.
With four distinct options—including the Golden Crunch sandwich, Oh My Thigh sandwich, a 2-Piece Chicken plate, or 2-Piece Tenders and a Waffle—you're getting hot, fresh food on your schedule.
Four Tailored Lunch Combos
Each option in our lunch lineup is engineered to satisfy hunger without slowing you down:
- Golden Crunch Lunch Special: If you crave pure, unadulterated crunch, this sandwich is your mid-day champion. It features a juicy chicken breast with an intensely crunchy, golden crust, cool shredded lettuce, and our velvety Signature Sauce on a toasted bun. Plated alongside seasoned lattice waffle fries and a fountain drink, it delivers the ultimate textural reset.
- Oh My Thigh Lunch Special: Designed for dark-meat lovers, this sandwich highlights a tender, flavorful chicken thigh coated in our signature crispy batter. Topped with fresh greens on a soft bun and served with seasoned waffle fries and a fountain soda, it is savory comfort at its finest.
- 2-Piece Chicken Lunch Special: For fans of classic bone-in chicken, this plate delivers a perfectly fried breast piece and drumstick. The shatteringly crisp exterior seals in rich juices, providing a traditional Southern-style fried chicken experience complemented by hot waffle fries and a beverage.
- 2-Piece Tenders and Waffle Lunch Special: When you want sweet and savory harmony, this combo brings together two hand-breaded, golden chicken tenders resting on a warm, golden Belgian waffle. Paired with a refreshing drink, it transforms your lunch break into a weekend-worthy treat.
Built for the Workday Rush
Great lunch specials require more than just great taste—they demand efficiency. Walking into Nash & Smashed during peak lunch hours, you will feel an upbeat, energized dining room buzzing with conversation and the steady sizzle of our kitchen. Our line is streamlined so that your meal is prepared hot to order and served promptly. You get the speed of fast food without sacrificing culinary craft.
Premium Quality You Can Taste
We believe that workday dining should never feel like a compromise. We use whole-muscle chicken, crisp produce, and house-blended seasonings across the entire menu. Nothing sits under warming lamps waiting for an order; every piece of chicken, sandwich fillet, and basket of Waffle Fries drops into clean oil when your ticket prints so the crunch you hear is fresh.
Want to customize your midday break at any of our neighborhood locations? Add a cup of Signature Sauce, Hot Honey Sauce, or Garlic Parmesan Sauce for dipping, pair your lunch box with warm Homestyle Mac & Cheese, Corn Bread, or Pickle Bombs, or swap in a Mango or Peach Smashed Blend Mojito poured cold over lime and mint. Break out of your lunchtime rut, skip the sad desk salad, and refuel right with hot food cooked to order.
