Tried crispy parmesan nugs (yum yum) and grilled 3 cheese. One of the cool places in downtown to hang. ...

Smash ATX is a great place to play ping pong, enjoy some good food and drinks, with great company. I liked the wings and would get them again. Staff was helpful in getting the center court reserved for us. I’ll be back!

Whose genius idea was to have ping pong tables in a restaurant/bar? Because it’s so fun to play ping with friends while drinking and eating! Smash is one of the coolest restaurants in Austin; a perfect place to hangout with friends or go on dates.

Came here for lunch. Great atmosphere! My wife and I ate at the bar. Bartender made great suggestions and gave honest opinions. We ordered these two meals in the pictures from his recommendations. These were made to perfection! Crispy chicken sandwich cooked perfect. Fries are really good! I would love to comeback to try something else and enjoy the nightlife here!

Had Sunday Brunch at Smash.. Great environment- ping pong, lots of tvs for the games, booths/tables, and also couches to lounge. Friendly and attentive staff. Last but not least - tasty food! The homemade fries are a must order!!

Visitor for the F1 race weekend, have never seen a concept like this. Great atmosphere, awesome service! Mandy our hostess and server was super helpful and very attentive. Can’t remember the last time I played ping-ping but picked it up quick and had a blast! Worth a visit!!

I ordered cocktails and fries, both were excellent. The place has a great atmosphere, and I really enjoyed the ping pong tables. The prices are a bit high, but considering the location I think it is ok. I will come back.
