I ordered lobster rolls and clam chowder from DoorDash. I received the wrong order. The restaurant said it was not their problem, they handed the dasher the correct food. She was a bit rude! The dasher said he gave me what they handed him. So someone is lying. DoorDash won't help or refund. I'm not ordering from DoorDash or this restaurant again. read more

The exterior give off a plan vibe but the decor and seating inside is great. Our server was very nice and attentive. Food was very reasonably priced and tasty. Highly recommend the fish and chips, we got steak fries. The boneless wings had a great flavor. Loved the ranch. Zucchini fries were perfect! The only meh thing were the Mac and Cheese bites, would skip those next time. Strawberry cocktail and watermelon cocktail were yummy, the watermelon flavor was very mild however. Will be visiting again for the fish and zucchini fries! read more

Old Bag of Nails Pub is your friendly neighborhood pub. Very large inside with several different seating areas. There's a big bar in the middle, with a unique bar top shape that spans 360 degrees with several TV's in the middle. Menu is somewhat diverse, with a good focus on seafood. I've tried a variety of items. Everything is pretty solid, but portions are a little small for the price, IMO. Great place to watch a game though due to the multitude of TV's, including some booths with individual TV's. read more

So I'm craving fish and chips and where do I go???? To the Old bag of nails pub!! My husband and I split the fish and shrimp platter for $22 and STILL had food to take home. Nothing is ever greasy tasting here. I just love the fish and shrimp and the steak fries that come with it! Their tartar sauce is just fantastic! Our service was fantastic as well. It's got tons of TVs on the walls so you can keep up with any sporting news or events! They have tons of other items on the menu (like burgers and Phillies and salads) but I always go for my fish fix!! Check them out, you'll be hooked too (pardon the pun!) read more

Food was good- minus our spinach dip being luke warm and congealed but it was fixed. Service was poor and bathroom was FILTHY. Sent them two messages and zero response. "i came with my friend who is legally deaf and we had a really bad experience which I feel like management should be aware of. We waited over 45 minutes, which is fine because it's a Friday and you're a busy place. However, once we were seated we waited at least 20 minutes on our waiter to even come to the table, another 25 minutes or longer for our appetizer which came out luke warm and congealed like it had been sitting (spinach dip). We got one refill the entire time, and a bill for $121 with a ton of stuff added to it which then took ANOTHER 20 minutes to fix. My friend would try to speak and the waiter kept looking to me to speak for her, which is incredibly rude to someone who is deaf and she felt very overwhelmed and embarassed. The bathrooms were also filthy." Love the fish but sadly won't be back. When I told the hostess the bathroom was a mess she stood and stared at me like I was crazy. read more

The Old Bag of Nails Pub is a small chain of restaurants, mostly in Ohio, but there is one in Michigan. It's supposed to have an Irish pub sort of vibe. There's one up north in Mansfield that my dad went to, so I thought I'd give the food at this one a try. The menu is pretty focused on fish items. There is a fish & chips option, shrimp and chips, fish tacos, mussels and shrimp, shrimp po' boy. However, they also have other items like chicken wings, philly cheesesteak, spicy chicken quesadilla and several other sandwiches. I ordered via DoorDash and got the French Dip sandwich but upgraded to Onion Rings for the side. I also ordered a side of coleslaw. The French Dip sandwich had plenty of shaved ribeye meat and was seasoned well and came with a small container of drippings sauce to dip the sandwich in. The container was just enough for the sandwich which is served on a hoagie bun. I enjoyed the sandwich. It has sautéed onions and melted Swiss cheese. It was good. The onion rings were well battered and tasted good but they were very thick, like onion ends. They were okay but I think I would've preferred a few that weren't the ends of the onion. I think there were only four of them. The coleslaw was good, nice and creamy. All items came packed carefully in nice containers but there were no condiments included. I'd give this establishment a solid 3 stars. The French Dip sandwich was the best of the items ordered. The onion rings were okay, but I would've preferred more that weren't as thick. read more

Reserved the bar area for a small retirement gathering. BJ & her coworkers were very accommodating & made our guests feel welcomed. Food & drinks were great! Can't say enough good things about this location & the people who work there! read more

I don't give one stars out frivolously but unfortunately this is well deserved. First let me say, we've come here plenty of times. The service is always questionable but we decided to give it another chance. This isn't a one bad visit review. I can't remember a time we were treated so poorly by a waiter or waitress as tonight. I have no idea why she acted so terrible, but "BJ" had the worst attitude toward us I've ever experienced from a wait staff member. I asked to change the channel on our personal table's tv and was met with a shrug and "what do you want?" My wife was going to order another drink and asked for a menu and we were clearly inconveniencing her by ordering more! We never saw her again and she clearly handed us off to another staff member. I asked to speak with a manager. We waited at least 10 minutes, no one ever came back to our table and we left. If you fail to heed my warning and still want to indulge yourself here, do yourself a favor and make sure you don't get seated at one of BJ's tables! I wouldn't give a one star to a business just because of one staff person however, the fact no manager ever came to speak to me as requested and the fact we've had poor service before makes me feel it is well deserved. read more

We have eaten here before, usually for the fish and chips and always had a good experience. This visit was no exception. For a starter we got the Bavarian pretzel with bar cheese(never had before) probably the best Bavarian style pretzel in the Dayton region, worth a try. Wife and I split the fish/shrimp combo.There fish is always good with two large whitefish fillets with light breading served with steak fries. Shrimp was also good, large and lightly breaded. Waitress was excellent as well, she anticipate what we needed instead of us having to waive her down. Even split the meal for us on separate plates. Place is always clean with plenty of seating too. Well worth the visit again. read more

Great food, drinks & service! Always get a kick out of the name! Love the specials that rotate & sitting at this bar!

The Old Bag Of Nails Pub - Centerville Not dependable for take away The service: Troublesome - servers hang out in kitchen and are often tardy The ambience: We like - pub like with a little noise - lots of parking Dining: Hmmm... We like shrimp salad... Portions offered at inflated prices. The tariff is appropriate for the fare. read more

First time at this location - it is unassuming from the outside but very nice on the inside. Went for my birthday and our waiter was great very personable. Food was delicious and plenty of food for the price. The appetizers of potstickers ok but egg rolls were awesome. Average price as most places similar. Went at 4:30 it was getting busy by the time we left. Large place so plenty of seating with tables & booths. read more

Best dining experience here since Covid. Had not eaten here in about a year as most visits since Covid involved bad service (ex. 1 poor wait person trying to take care of the whole dining area) or poorly prepared food, of both. Today they were firing on all cylinders and the food and service were both GREAT! Dining room was clean and tables bussed can't wait to start coming back. read more

The only issue I had was the deep fried (onion rings, tator tots) tasted like fish. Not being a fish person, I couldn't eat any more of it. I order the prime dip. It was Amazing! My friend said cheeseburger was good. Both of us liked the slaw I did not try the fried mushrooms but friend said they were good. read more

Fabulous place! Great atmosphere and service! Delicious food! Will definitely be back!

My apologies, I was not doing reviews when I ate the fabulous Shrimp Po-Boy here. Service is spot on with an attentive staff. The interior is somewhat dark but it is appropriate. Like I said the Po'Boy is delish. I do not know exactly what lunch costed me, but would say I had a non-alcoholic drink and the sandwich for under $20 for certain. It is in the Cross Pointe shopping center's north side, so you will have to drive around the corner in the lot fo find it but DON'T GIVE UP! it is worth the effort IMO. Enjoy read more

The Old Bag of Nails Pub - Yellow Springs Boat Show IPA - Wine Bars Near Me - Centerville, Ohio

Unpleasant experience Manager brought daughters to work with him ( I know this because daughter stated her dad was the manager) Daughters were left unattended I booth next to where I was seated. From the time we were seated she was hanging over the top of the booth and coming over to our booth disturbing us. The last straw was her coming over with her tablet taking pictures of us. This is rude and offensive. When I spoke to manager about what his child was doing his response was to move the child. Neither the child nor the Manager apologized for the behavior. Having stopped here while traveling, it is not a place I will be a regular customer. Although, I have enjoyed this restaurant in other cities. I hope at some point they both will learn better and do better . read more

Moscato was $5 per glass during happy hour. Excellent soup of the day and Philly sub. Tater tots were hard as rocks, not worth the $3 upcharge. Chocolate cake did not impress. Would have been better warmed with a scoop of ice cream. read more

We usually get the fried fish which is huge .. enough for 2. This time we got the bang bang shrimp and lobster rolls with fried corn ... They took our order quickly but the food was very slow coming out. They came out and apologized a few times.aw I would have been more ok with it if they were busy .. only 3 couples in the whole placea The lobster roll didnt have as much lobster salad on the sandwich but my 2 bites both had shell ..so i was over it. Gave the rest to my husband it had shell to. They gave us a coupon because of the slowness but we gave it to someone as we left. Dont think we will be back soon ..if they even stay open. Seems food and service have suffered a decline. read more

Let me just say, the best waitress we've had in a long time! BJ was awesome. Service was great and food was great. Highly recommend the fish and chips. The house salad was good and fresh. The chicken nachos were delicious and, OMG the pretzel with cheese!!! There were 6 people in our group arriving at different times and our waitress rolled with it. She was friendly, funny and great at her job. read more

Went to this restaurant yesterday. My husband and I sat at the bar. I was a little surprised there was not much social distancing. I felt ok with this since I had both my 2 vaccine for Covid. The bar tender was nice. She got our drinks and food order quick. We ordered the pretzel! It was so yummy. read more

Incredibly friendly staff and surprisingly family-friendly for a bar. I ordered the fish and chips and they were a perfect balance of breading and meat. Moreover, almost every seat has viewing access to a TV. The monitors are tactically placed so you can enjoy a meal and watch a game, if that is your thing. But even with an abundance of screens, the overall atmosphere was not overwhelmingly loud. I highly recommend this place. The only negative is how hidden it is from main thoroughfares due to lack of signage. read more

Great food, drinks, and service. Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and evening at Old Bag of Nails!

We always see the full parking lot and just figured There'd be no room for the fam. But we stopped in and took a shot. Luckily we got a great table and That was the start of a nice evening. BJ took great care of us. I had the sliders. They were nicely cooked and topped with grilled jalapeño slices. The grilling really brings out the incredible flavor of the pepper and combined with a juicy and medium cooked patty, just complete heaven! I got rings and tots to share. Healthy portions we all could dig into. The ambiance here is comfortable and the bar area is spacious and well stocked. A great family friendly venue. We'll come back soon for sure. If you see the parking lot full, take a chance and mosey on in. You'll be glad you did! read more

We always like this place. We try something different each time but I always get the corn as a side. The corn on the cob side dish is amazing. This last time I got the Philly cheese sandwich and he got the fish tacos along with the chicken nachos. The sandwich was really good...the bread was soft and filled with lots of meat so much I could only eat half but took the rest home. The fish tacos looked good as well. read more

It's the new kid in town, and I wanted to see what all the brouhaha was about. Reviews are mixed, and I went expecting poor service and was very pleasantly surprised. Service was spot on. When we were greeted we were told maybe a 30 minute wait. So we agreed and went to the bar, ordered a glass of wine and had a look at the menu. It looked good. Somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes our table was ready! Winning. I ordered the Shrimp Poboy and slaw. It was as good as New Orleans...even better than most I've had there. That's really saying something. Bob had a fish sandwich and it was huge. Just like Mikey, He liked it, he really really liked it. We wrapped up with bread pudding. The best I've ever had outside Nola. Nola is the bread pudding capital of the world, bur this would even hold up there. Have you ever heard that from me before? Nope. Why not 5 stars...it's loud. There was a ledge on the other side of our table where kids were setting and leaning over the ledge. Get those kids out of the bar and off my grass!!! And it is a sports bar. I would never give a sports bar 5 stars because that's the way I rate. No valet parking....no 5th star. read more

This place first opened I was a huge fan the service was good. The food was good. The atmosphere was nice and ever since Covid hit the quality of their food has gone down the management couldn't run a lemonade stand let alone a restaurant from what I've seen on my last visit read more

I've eaten here one other time and it was several years ago. Maybe not long after it first opened. It was great...the fish and chips was spectacular. I was hoping it was still good when I ordered carry out today. But, alas...it was not. I got the fish and chips which I remember being enormous pieces of fish and tasting fresh. Today I got two flat looking pieces of dry fish that taste fishy. And the fries were old I'm pretty sure. So I guess it's a wrap on the Old Bag of Nails Pub. At least it was on "special" for $10 I guess read more

British style fish and chips!? British style fish and chips?! Not really because I know, I lived in England for 5 years while I was there in the service. While it wasn't crap, it doesn't deserve the name British style fish and chips. You got McDonald's fish sandwich a little past that is the frozen fisherman dude stuff, and after that is this. Not even close to British style chippy. Two planks of ok tasting fish and a small amount of chips aka "fries" would never fly at a real chippy. Touchless men's bathroom and alright service. read more

You definitely need to order the fish and chips! You get two large cod fillets, so you won't go home hungry. Their onion rings are great- but they are huge so you don't get very many. The service was definitely slow. Our salads and soup didn't come before the entrees, which meant that we didn't even have time to eat them. I'd definitely recommend passing on the French onion soup. It was very salty and lackluster in flavor. It tasted like canned beef consommé. We would have ranked it higher if not for the service. They need to hire more people so the waitstaff doesn't have to also seat their patrons. read more

We love this place but rarely go to unless it's with one of brothers because this is one of the only places he'll go out to eat at. For me, every dag gone time, I get the Fish & Chips because it reminds me of my childhood. They seem to make it just like my sad made it when we were growing up. Perfectly breaded, perfectly cooked and it is always delicious. I could easily just eat the fish and foregoing the chips. The lovely Mrs changes things up here, tonight she got some sort of chicken nachos that were not to my liking but she and my sister in law seemed to like them. Our preferred server is BJ. She takes care of us, she's super nice and seems to have the memory of an elephant. It's been a number of months since we've been here but she knew exactly what drinks we liked, how we liked our food and even suggested one of her special 'Strong Island' iced teas. It was fantastic!! So, stop by, ask if BJ is working and see if you can be seated in her action. Tell them Dean sent you and ask for one of her special long islands. I love supporting these folks. Good people. Great food. read more

We sat at the bar. Service was slow and food was not good. I got the fish and chips and and my husband got the Philly cheesesteak. The bartender only had 4 people sitting, two of which were me and my husband. She was more concerned about talking to her coworkers than to take our order. Not friendly at all. Typical "order taker". Will not go back. read more

We did curb side pick up and they were super friendly and prompt. We got 4 orders of the 10$ fish and chips. The fish was really fresh and a really good portion. The fries were not as fresh, which is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Also, we could have used a bigger cup of tartar sauce for the generous portion of fish. If you are ordering to go, as for extra tartar sauce! read more
