The food was amazing! Definitely try the brown butter bourbon skillet cookie! Super clean and had live music ❤️
Yummy food, good music and great atmosphere!😋
Wow, we were very impressed by the food, drink, service and atmosphere. We stopped in from out of state and the whole staff was helpful giving us ideas of places to go and see while in the area. The old fashion’s were great! Husband had shrimp and grits, with pimento cheese that he loved. I had the special that night beef Wellington pot pie with puff pastry. Wow it was so flavorful, I loved it. Since it was 2 day after my birthday I will call it an amazing dinner for my celebration. To end the night we had a sweet potato cheese cake and wonderful French pressed coffee. Can’t wait to go back to try another wonderful dish. Thanks again to all the staff and the front house manager for all the good information about North Vernon area. Sorry I didn’t take any picture, it was so good I forgot.
Sunday brunch is the best thing ever! They always have different breakfast bakes along with the standard eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy. Also really enjoy their appetizers and lunch specials, the deviled eggs are amazing! Service is always really good here, and we have never had to wait to be seated. Highly recommend trying this place, especially for the brunch! Had to add to this review - just came here for dinner and got the new catfish creole, and it might be the best dish I've ever had!
My family and I have eaten at Nash's several times. We have eaten breastfast, brunch and dinner. Not one time have I ever had a problem with Nash's resturant. What a great place to eat with friends or a romantic dinner! Everything on their menu has been delicious. What a great resturant to have locally. Thank you Nash's!
My husband and I went to Nash's for the first time as last night. We were immediately greeted upon coming in and seated. Our waitress was quick to the table and very attentive. It was a nice relaxed environment and everyone seemed very friendly. I ordered the steak with red potato and bacon hash with green beans. My steak was cooked perfectly and the hash was absolutely amazing. It had the perfect crispy mushrooms and bacon that just brought everything together so well. My husband really enjoyed the short rib mac and cheese as well! We will definitely be returning in the future!
Food was great, chicken fried steak and hot brown, both delicious. Miss the Chicken Saltimboca, but I can always find some that is just as delicious. Entertainment in the bar area on Wednesday evenings. Staff is incredible.
Having been a fan of Chef Nash's food seeing him make his own menu with complete control is exciting, and sitting down and eating it tonight was absolutely a delicious and delightful experience. I'm proud of the family and staff for making this all happen and cannot wait until our next date night to come in and try the food. The Woof Burger is definitely a favorite of mine and nibbling on some of my husbands Chicken & Biscuit entree was mouth watering as well. Our starter, the cornbread was just as fantastic and our dessert at the end was to die for. Keep up the good work guys! We cannot wait for more!
We had a wonderful experience dining here! For the appetizer, we had chips and cheese, which were absolutely fantastic—definitely something we’d order again. I tried the Southern Tier Smash, and the bacon on the sandwich was cooked to perfection. My husband had the Farmhouse Friend and couldn’t stop raving about the garlic citrus jam—it added such a unique and delicious flavor to his sandwich. The restaurant's layout was inviting and well-designed, making for a comfortable dining atmosphere. The service was also great, attentive without being overbearing. I highly recommend visiting this place if you’re looking for delicious food and a pleasant dining experience!
Went here with friends and tired a variety of dishes. Presentation was excellent and very tasty. Had pimento cheese fritters and meatball appetizers to start. Yumm! Service was attentive and not overly bearing. Hot Brown, Shimp & Grits, Fish & Chips and Ham & Bean soup came next. All was very filling and delicious. Only criticism I have is the fries (chips) were a bit under done and the pork/ham/bacon in the grits was a bit salty for my taste. Otherwise, this is an excellent place for a special occasion or just to have a wonderful experience! I will definitely be back.
