They both have the same meaning.
ex: You want to eat lunch?
OR
You want to have lunch?
But I would say "have lunch" is more commonly used when it involves more people, (E.g. "You want to have lunch together?)

They means the same when you put the verb 'have' and 'eat' in front of the noun 'lunch'. When you separated them, you can use it differently
