Smash is our go to restaurant for lunches with coworkers mainly because of the location and food quality.
We come for lunch right around 12pm and we generally make a reservation.There is never much of a wait time just a couple minutes of setting up the table.
The food itself is the main reason we return over and over again. The portions here are HUGE like i'm stuffed whenever I leave her and I return to work with a food coma. I love ordering their mac and cheese but be warned very cheesy and filling. If you are not a fan of cheese you won't enjoy this. But I'm a cheese lover and the mac and cheese here is a must try.
I would recommend getting the mac and cheese on the side with another entree like half a rack of ribs ($22 for ribs, mac, and cheese, cornbread and coleslaw). It's a smaller more manageable amount of mac and cheese. I had the lobster mac and cheese on its own once as an entree and I found it way too much for one sitting.
The servers and manager are very welcoming, they came around to our table at least 8 times to ensure we were happy. It shows that they care about customer satisfaction here and the automatic 18% tip for groups of 8 and over is still deserved. Most places that slap on a tip requirement stop caring but not at smash. They still work for it!
If you coming with a group it is recommended that you make reservations. The parking there is very spacious, not a lot of restaurants to compete with for parking just small businesses that are not open after 5.
Smash is tucked away in the corner of the plaza but it is definitely a go to for comfort food.
