Nash's Restaurant

We truly enjoy this place and come here when we think of it - it's a bit out of town. The food is always excellent. The service is usually quite good, although we have had a couple of misses. The old house is beautiful and creates a great atmosphere, but it could use a refresh in some areas - for example, the carpet and restrooms are worn and dated. This last visit was with friends, and we arrived on the late side without reservations but were greeted with smiles and never rushed. We had sautéed crab claws to start, which are served in a sauce similar to New Orleans style barbeque shrimp. They were large and tender, and the sauce was great for bread dipping. We ordered seafood pasta (sorry, no photo), chicken Parmesan, veal osso bucco, and paneed veal. All were delicious and perfectly cooked, served hot and fresh. Portions are generous - I had lunch for another day. We were too full for dessert, but there will be a next time!

Very quant and homey ambiance. Our waitress was awesome. We got the sauteed crab legs with bread for our app. They were super tasty but it was only about 10 legs so not filling. For entree I got the catch of the day which was a type of mediterranean fish and my husband got the Veal Sorrentino, he said it was ok but very small portioned. Fish did not have much flavor. The caesar salads were good but small. For dessert we had the lemon cake and bread pudding, both delicious! Sort of a mixed review, portion size and flavor seemed inconsistent, especially since it was over $100 for our meal. I would much rather spend that type of $ somewhere's else.

The food was excellent, with many dishes to choose from. Great setting and owners are always there. Been there many times and they never disappointed me and guess. I gem to visit!!!!

Before visiting Parish Brewing, we planned to have lunch in Broussard, but when we arrived at our original destination, we discovered it was closed without announcement on New Year's Eve. Hungry after traveling through six parishes, my parents and I decided to have lunch at the nearest place we could find ― the restaurant across the street, Nash's. Located in an old gingerbread house from the early 1900s, a meal at Nash's is a lot like dining at Miss Havisham's house: The place is ramshackle and loaded with bric-a-brac of no discernible value, with worn-out chairs and faded, out-of-style prints on the walls. Add in the big glassed-in porch and the camellias in full bloom, and you get something best described as "small-town fancy."The menu is a mix of Italian and Louisiana cuisine; we mostly stuck to the former on our visit, though I did order a bowl of the chicken and sausage gumbo. We all agreed the flavor of the gumbo was excellent, but the consistency was too watery. "That's not gumbo. You got soup," my mom said. If it had the right consistency, it would've been a triumph. My chicken parmigiana lunch special was good, and my mom enjoyed her spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs had good flavor and were moist. My father raved about his seafood pasta ― "the best seafood pasta I've ever had in my life," he said ― but my mom said it tasted "fishy."Service was friendly and attentive, and my parents especially seemed to enjoy themselves, which mattered most to me. None of the food was particularly mind-blowing, but nothing was bad, either. What ultimately drops it from four stars to three are the prices; with most entrées priced close to or over $30, I'd want the quality to be a little higher than that of your ordinary red sauce joint. That bowl of gumbo was $16, a price that would be unacceptable in the French Quarter, let alone small-town Broussard ― and that's if it weren't watery.Nash's was a bit of a lucky find and happy accident when we found ourselves in a pinch in an unfamiliar town, and we didn't have a bad meal there. But Nash's has several things it needs to attend to before it becomes a great restaurant ― or one worthy of a journey across six parishes.

Amazing food with a quaint ambiance! We had the seafood pasta and stuffed fish of the day which was mahi mahi. Both dishes were flavorful and filling. Definitely putting Nash's in our regular rotation.

Had a dinner party here recently and the food was above average. The wait staff was attentive and knowledgable with regard to the menu. We ordered several appetizers including BBQ Shrimp, Fish Beignets, calamari, and Fried Eggplant, all of which were tasty.The atmosphere is nice, low lit lights. The house is old and certainly has character and ambience. If I had to find a negative it would be the room temperature, which was a bit too toasty for my liking. Also, the price for the Filet/Lobster special was $120, which I find a bit pricey. Overall, I had a good experience.

The food and service is great! I've had many dishes, but the Veal Osso Buco is absolutely delicious! They also have an excellent Soft Shell Crab Lafayette!

You really should stop by and visit Nash's Restaurant, lovely atmosphere, wonderful waitstaff and hard working employees trying to give you a great experience dining there.

Wine and crab fingers were great. The came main dish Chilean sea bass and crawfish macaroni. The bass was so fishy, it was uneditable. Server offered a different fish to try, my husband declined. So we paid full price for NOT good fish that was left behind . No discount was offered. Disappointment

Phenomenal food, and service was great.!! Cannot believe I've lived in this area for this long and had not tried this place yet. Nash's is definitely on my favorites list. Can't wait to eat there again!!
