Ok, so I've been wanting to try Nash's for a few months now. After church today we decided to try it with friends. Inside, it looked the same as Willy's which wasn't a bad thing. We were seated right away and our server came to get our drink order right after seating. The menu was a simple piece of paper with a brunch selection, 1 salad, a burger and a Southern BLT. I asked the server if she had a regular menu and she said they only serve brunch on Sundays until 4 pm. What? Who eats brunch until 4. Needless to say I was not happy as I wanted.to try the menu I had heard about. I was ready to leave but she had already brought our drinks. A few of us ordered the sweet tea. It was really weak and when we asked her if it was fresh she said it was. When we questioned if it was real tea she said it was. Not sure about that though, tasted like an instant tea. Certainly not "Southern". I ordered the burger and everyone else settled on the BLT. The menu stated the BLT comes with hand cut fries. The server told us it come with potatoes like breakfast home style. We asked for the fries that the menu said and she repeated they don't serve them. So we settled again. The potatoes, not fries, were good, but not what we wanted for lunch. My wife was not thrilled with the BLT as there was very little bacon; 2 pieces to be exact. My burger was way overly dry. I had to take it off the bun but it was still very dry. Not sure if it was over cooked or a 97% lean well done burger. We would like to give it one more try on a regular day but that probably won't be for a while if at all. The service was great and our server was very attentive. We did not complain since there wasn't much they could probably do. Just be sure if you want to go here, and you are looking for their regular menu, don't come on Sunday. My suggestion, if they want to do a Sunday brunch, is to do like O'Charley's and offer both menu options on Sunday. Or better yet end it around 1.

I really wanted to like this place since it moved in to a spot I loved, but alas, that is not the case. My husband and I visited today for lunch. The location was not very busy, but service was very slow when it came to refilling drinks. The location itself is still very charming with all wood interior. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and immediately realized that it was overcooked. The filet was cut thin, had an odd processed tasting crust and the chicken itself was stringy and unappealing. I got through about 3 bites before setting it aside. My husband had the brisket burger, which had a couple of strips of brisket across the top but not enough to earn the name of a brisket burger. This will be our only visit.

3.5 stars The food wasn't bad but could of been better. We got the chicken sandwich and the summer salad. Honestly the chicken sandwich tasted a lot like Wendy's chicken sandwich.. which isn't necessarily a bad thing but what's stopping me from just going there. The summer salad was fresh and good. I'll go there again and try something off of their dinner entree section and update the review.

I went for lunch with colleagues on Friday. It was very crowded, but we were seated without a wait. The staff was extremely friendly but overwhelmed. Our server apologized, saying a few people had called in. She forgot to bring someone an Ale-8. When he asked for it later, she brought it quickly and didn't charge him for it. There was confusion with food delivery, with bills, and with returning credit cards to the right people after we paid. As for the food, it was average. I had the soup & chef's salad. The salad wasn't impressive. The fried chicken was cold. I didn't like the smoked tomato bisque at all. It was far too smoky for me. I was very disappointed because I love tomato soup. One person in our group got the brisket burger, which is a burger topped with brisket. It didn't have much brisket on it. He actually thought they'd forgotten it entirely and took his burger apart to check. My husband got the fried catfish. I stole a bite and it was very good. The spicy dipping sauce that came with it was good too. He substituted brussel sprouts for the french fries and said he liked them a lot. I will definitely check them out again. Once they work out the kinks and hire reliable staff, I think they could become one of my favorite lunch spots. Time will tell.

We decided to give Nash's Southern Table & Bar a try after church today--we were NOT disappointed. First off, the atmosphere when you first walk in is fantastic. We loved that it was KID FRIENDLY. It's fresh, vibrant, and cozy all at the same time. The owner greeted us and informed us that Sunday featured the brunch menu and we were given time to look over the menu and determine if we wanted to stay. Food: Let me just say the food was INCREDIBLE. You'll have to take my word for it because I couldn't be bothered to take a picture; in short it looked so good I forgot. We ordered beignets, chicken and waffles, and eggs Benedict. The waffles were so pleasant to eat. Seriously, they were so refreshing to bite into time after time. The eggs Benedict was Cooked to perfection and came with a wonderful sauce. The beignets are basically donut holes so come on, they're gonna be good. Service: Our waitress was very friendly ! The owner also so awesome ! We asked one staff member who wasn't our waitress if she would bring us a toddler chair and she didn't seem too excited, but nevertheless (shrug). Our waitress left our drinks on empty about 5-7 mins, which is a long time when you're thirsty. Again, she was still incredibly sweet and energetic. Final: All in all, this place will be a regular spot for us now. We look forward to trying basically everything on the menu and having a great time in the future. Give this place a try, you'll be glad you did !

This was our first trip to Nash's since the location opened. The inside looks very much like Willie's used (the restaurant that was there before). The food was good, but my chicken sandwich was a bit too crispy. However, this review gets three stars because service was slow. We went in the middle of the afternoon for lunch and there were only a few other patrons there. The bartender was very attentive and kept checking on us, but we only interacted with our server once or twice. At the end of the meal, we eventually had to get up to find someone after asking for our check and not receiving it for over 10 minutes.

Overall food was good, just as Lyles always is and service was excellent. However, the fried green tomatoes were very thick/lots of breading and the breading did not stay on the tomatoes. Also, i had received an email that there would be a late night menu starting that evening, but we were the only table left and everyone seemed to be doing closing duties as if they were ready to go home. Not sure a late night menu is a good idea if the staff are ready to leave at 10 pm.

Very fast service. Server most polite and efficient. Food most attractive, well plated and really tasty! May be too much to eat in one meal. Best fried green tomatoes I ever had. GREAT fried catfish. Enjoyed the desert. Coffee was a bit weak and not hot. All in all, a great meal and we'll worth going to, and is a family place.

Visiting from out of town and saw a review of Nash's and added to our list for this trip. As we drove up, my first was "nice", we picked a good one. We were greeted as we came in and were seated immediately. We started with a spicy chicken and biscuits. These were awesome and very spicy. I could have made this my meal. The entrees were all generous portions. The roasted chicken was our favorite. The service team here worked together like a well oiled machine and were super friendly. This is a nice addition to our Kentucky eats list.

They have wonderful biscuits! .....they are served with killer pimento cheese, green tomato jam and honey butter. The fried green tomatoes were good. I had the brisket burger which was very nice. My husband had the smoked chicken pot pie and wishes it had been bigger. The waiter was super nice and was Johnny on the spot with refills. We had a very pleasant experience and wish them well on their new business.

Amazing food and service. Were amazing Josh our waiter was very nice and Shannon the manger is very personable. I ordered the "Lyle's BBQ Brisket Burger" with a Stitch Family Farm Burger. And the brisket was smoked for 12 hours. With a dv8 brioche bun cheddar cheese with house made BBQ sauce it was amazing the flavor pairing was on point I have had four burgers in the past 24 hours and this one goes to the top

Incredible Manager & staff! The food was excellent, I highly recommend the fried green tomatoes and Nash's summer salad with smoked chicken. The Bloody Mary is on point as well.

I was with a large group that had a meeting scheduled at Nash's. The power ended up going out while we were there, but they were SO hospitable. I can't wait to go back when the power is on! The menu looked AMAZING!

I really wanted to give this restaurant a great review but I cannot. Lyle's Barbecue is our favorite but Nash didn't fit the bill. We went for lunch on a Tuesday. Long story short, although not very crowded, were there an hour and 45 minutes. We had to ask them to take our order after 30 minutes passed. We did have a starter but no dessert. I had shrimp and grits, granddaughter had chicken tenders. She took one bite and didn't take another. I did eat mine but would not order again since it was the worst I've had anywhere. (not that we will ever be back). My wife had the Smoked chicken pot pie. She loves very bland food and she did finish her meal (she told me I would hate it. ) The total bill was what we would spend on a decent dinner. ($60 ish for three). It did include a couple of beers.

Over all food was tasty. Sweet Bourbon vinaigrette excellent but added too much on the greens. Could go less. The greens was a good assortment. Tomato bisque had a great Smokey flavor but for me it could of been thinner not so thick. The fried green tomatoes where so thick that the batter/breading wasn't cooked enough. Still doughy inside. Apple slaw more red cabbage and very little jicama but tasted well with the fare. Fritters good but would like you to add corn to them. Maybe served with a honey sweet sauce ? I know fries are simple but some restaurants destroy them, you had these 5 star. Staff couldn't of been more friendly and service was busy but did a great job. Didn't eat any protein so .....
