About this restaurant

  • Great for happy hour
  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
I battered my first fish when I was ten, and my first pickle when I was twelve. I know what I'm doing.
I have my great-Uncle Gaylord's famous pub food recipes, and I also have his name. Believe me, I've had a much tougher time getting through life with this name than he did.

I called my pub "The Old Bag of Nails" because the first one was in an empty hardware store. My great-uncle Gaylord called his pub "The Cauliflower Blowfish" and I don't have the foggiest notion why.

And every day people stop by for great food, great spirits and an occasional hammer.

Eat. Drink. Enjoy yourself.

I sure do.

-Gaylord Wirrick

    I had a shrimp Po Boy. Contents inside were good. However, the bun was like plain Wonder Bread. Better to buy crispy Kaiser buns, cut open, smear butter on both cut surfaces, and grill until golden brown. That makes a great Po Boy sandwich.

    Fried fish (the house specialty) is excellent. Cole Slaw is very good, too.

    We were traveling in the area, and this Pub was recommended by OpenTable. Pardon the pun, but they hit the nail on the head with this one! Outstanding food and service. My husband and I really enjoyed the experience and would definitely go back. The food is so good whether you're getting an appetizer, an entree, or any of the sandwiches. And the service is outstanding! Cannot say enough. Very well-managed. Friendly atmosphere!

    We have been here several times and had great food and service. The food was cold and horrible despite our nice waiter having new orders made. The remade orders were still cold!
