A new arrival is turning up the spice on Hampton Boulevard. The fast‑growing DMV chain Nash & Smashed has opened at 4820 Hampton Blvd., taking over the former Hair of the Dog space just steps from Old Dominion University and the Naval Station corridor. The city’s tourism office lists it as a recent opening, positioning the concept squarely in a high‑traffic stretch locals already know.

On the menu, Nash & Smashed sticks to comfort: bone‑in fried chicken, tenders, wings, and hot chicken sandwiches from classic Nashville to honey butter. Smash burgers can stack to four patties, and the signature “Nash & Smash” doubles down by pairing a burger patty with Nashville‑style chicken. It’s an all‑halal build with sides like mac and cheese and waffle fries, plus milkshakes and cakes (bistro lime or chocolate cream). Some stores also pour non‑alcoholic mojito‑style drinks.
