I always look for new places I went to a sister location two years ago and had a great time. This time did not disappoint. The staff are all womderful and our server was energetic and over all lovely. The food is great for the price, mine was slightly over cooked but it wasn't enough for it to be ruined. It was the thinner bits anyways so let's be honest nobody cares. They were slow when I went with my party of four. Regardless it was clean it was a chill atmosphere. If you want a good place to go I recommend old bag of nails. (The pickle spears are amazing next day cold.) I got bread pudding as a desert and it is wonderful. Give it a shot if you haven't tried it just remember be patient and be polite.Parking: Free lot could be hard if they were packed. Wheelchairs would have difficulty entering but the inside layout is flat

This place is nice but really needs staffed appropriately. One waitress on a Sunday is crazy although she did really well keeping it together.! Kids eat free with adult entree Sundays so it was fun taking the kids for fish n chips. Overall just an OK

Went for a celebration dinner ( party of 4) and all of us ordered the fish & chips ( easy peasy, right?) as they were recommended by a friend… food finally got to our table after 40 minutes ( not busy) and 3 of our meals ( fish mind you) was cold and soggy… I don’t normally complain and just did so kindly to the waitress explaining that there must have been an issue in the kitchen??? Because it was a disappointment to not be able to eat our meals… NO APOLOGY.. or asking how they could fix it?? Of course the bill was paid in full by us with a great tip but still… it just blew my mind that our waitress cared less that our experience and food was cold & lacking! Won’t go back! Newark Ohio

This was a pickup order for my wife, who is from Cape Cod and knows her lobster. What she ordered was two lobster rolls. She should have known better! You are not going to get quality lobster this far away from the coast, at least not from old bag of nails. As expected, her lobster rolls were skimpy, hardly any mayonnaise, french fries that weren't cooked, and they forgot her coleslaw! $24.00 for that?? I wish I had taken a photo. She didn't eat them. Me. . . on the other hand, since it was my $24 and I have a cast iron stomach, saved them from the trash can. Sometimes, OBN is not too bad. I guess it depends on who the cook is?
