The Old Bag Of Nails Pub - Centerville

"We tried this restaurant for the first time recently. Upon walking up to the front door, we thought maybe they had shut down. But the sign was just a handwritten scribble to check in with hostess and not seat yourself. ok...fine enough. The doors just inside the vestibule had the same note...ok wow, they are really serious about checking in. LOL It was very clear not to seat ourselves. We waited several minutes at the hostess counter before an employee finally acknowledged us. A young woman finally came up to the hostess area. She looked annoyed that we were there...she walked up and just looked at us. So we spoke first....Told her just the two of us and we'd like to sit at the bar. Again, barely a glimmer of life from this person. It was the strangest thing. Seated ourselves. The bartender had a bit more life to her. She took our orders and got us drinks. She seemed to sit at the bar quite a bit which I thought was a no no at most places. Other employees stopped by to talk with her once in a while. We noticed that every customer that came in had to stand and wait for some time before someone came to seat them. Our food came out quickly and was really good. The food was the best part of our visit. That is not our issue. For us, atmosphere is half of the dining experience. It was depressing and we felt very unwelcome. It was not fun. The management seemed non-existent. The employees play "their" music to suit them, so it seems. Most of the clientele were 50+ and the music was more for 20s-30s. To me, that shows lack of management. The food was great and I would like to give them another chance, but my husband said no way he wants to go back."

"Have visited twice an both times the place has been outstanding. I had the mussels an shrimp an it was delicious. My wife had the fish an chips which she really enjoyed. My son had the chicken wrap an loved it. Service is great an the drinks are well made. Go an enjoy a great meal an evening"

"The food and service is AMAZING!!! I wish I could take this place home with me to Idaho! Man everything was so good!! Cheese curds are awesome. I love how they give you the choice of how you want your fish, grilled, fried, or blackened. Blacked is so good! The fried corn is a must and blew my mind! It had a salty, buttery, garlic, parmesean taste to it. We got the carrot cake to go and it's no typical carrot cake! It looks really good. Our server was awesome and took our plates in an attentive manner! He was very personable. I am SO glad we got to come here!!!"

"The best deep fried fish, mushrooms and onion rings I’ve ever had in my life! Light and perfectly crunchy batter filled with the best fish and mushrooms ever! OMG the mushroom basket was excessive and they were whole mushrooms completely filled, no thick batter with nothing inside, these are the best you’ll ever find and so fresh, the real deal. The Cobb Salad is a favorite and amazing!!!!!"
