Why go?

A yellow graphic with a faint city map background reads: “$15ish Meal Map. Explore the map,” with a right-pointing arrow.

Smashed ‘N Fried is housed inside Monday’s Brewing Taproom in Greenfield and touts a menu with deeply flavorful foods. Specializing in smash burgers and fried seafood, an added perk is to go on a Monday night to enjoy free trivia from 7-9 p.m. while you eat.

What to order 

The Smashed ‘N Fried Burger features two beef patties, sauteed onions, American cheese and SNF sauce and comes with fries for $17.

The Spicy Asian Shrimp are beer-battered and covered with SNF’s Thai sweet chili sauce for $15.

The Maryland Blue Crabcake Sandwich includes a deep-fried crab cake, red onion, spring greens, and SNF garlic chili tartar sauce for $16.

Good to know before you go

Walk straight past the bar inside Monday’s Brewing Taproom toward the back, and you’ll find Smashed ‘N Fried’s counter to place your order. If no one is standing at the register when you arrive, ring their bell and someone should be with you momentarily. The Smashed ‘N Fried kitchen crew appears to be a small team, so expect a little bit of a wait as they prepare your meals fresh. Monday nights are especially busy because of trivia.
