The Old Bag of Nails Pub

Let me start by saying I love Old Bag. I think I've been to every location. Tonight was my first venture here.

They are still busy, even on a late Friday night. They said 15-20 - it took 15-20. We were seated, and our server was there right away.

They still have a decent beer selection, and their service is definitely fast, despite the amount of people. The manager even caught my look of disdain over my meal and wouldn't let it be with me saying "it was okay." The three stars are for their service, tonight.

My blackened chicken was rubbery, and nearly impossible to chew or cut. The broccoli was lackluster, and looked like it was covered in grease from the fryer.

My dates fish was perfect - crispy, flaky, fresh. Her fries, however, were not. They were mushy, undercooked.

Well, when the manager refused to take my "okay" he said he would comp the sandwich. When bill time came, it wasn't comped. That's the loss of a star.

Please, don't make a big deal out of my dissatisfaction and then fail to deliver. Followed by the "here is your check" without asking if we would like another drink? I was a little dissatisfied.

All in all, this wasn't worth the wait. I may return, if for some reason I think I should give them a chance, or someone just has to have the "Old Bag" experience.

My wife and I decided to try the new Old Bag of Nails location in Powell, we sat at the bar and I ordered fish and chips I substituted Minnie potato pancakes for the chips and it was great, my wife's ordered her fish grilled and it came out not fully cooked we sent it back and they made her a new order of fish, as a restaurant owner Two Maddogs in Powell things happen. The manager came by apologized and took  it off our bill.This is probably the best fish and chips I had in Columbus, great service, good food and well run store,I forgot to mention if you are a eater unlimited fish and chips you can't beat that.

Housed in what used to be The Lost Shepard we now have that wonderful chain establishment - Old Bag of Nails;  a new joint to hang out at!  I've driven past these places here and in London but never got around to going in one until - you guessed it - we drove past this one and noticed the sign said Now Open!  WTH! It was as good a time as any to go explore and so glad we did!

They have all you can eat fish and chips everyday for $12.99!! The shrimp and chips is $13.99 but only on Wednesday.  Hubs had the fish and chips and I might add other than needing malt vinegar and a wee bit extra bit of salt - yumness.  As an appetizer we had the mussels and shrimp - not too shabby.  I had the pride of the pub spinach salad with blackened scallops.  It was a good salad and even though the scallops were spiced just great - toooooooooooooo much spinach and not enough blue cheese chunks.  The portabella's and onions straws were just about right.

We hit it on day #2 of opening and there were a few mistakes made with what they brought out but nothing that wasn't fixed with a smile and speed.  Good service here.  And the fact we sat at a booth with it's own tv - well hot damn!  Just wish I knew how to change the channel.  Was not interested in NBA draft.  

Happy hour is from 2-7 so there is a time slot I must get to and kids eat free all day Sunday (a day for me to avoid).  Looking forward to returning and exploring more of the menu.  Welcome to this part of town, OBON.
