    Sausage and bacon scramble
    Bob T.

    We came in about 11:15am for a late breakfast. Our first time here. We weee promptly seated and our drink order was taken and delivered in a timely manner. After a short time our waitress came and took our order, she was very pleasant. 11:30am - no food 11:45am - no food 12:00noon - no food, people around us are leaving, new coming in. 12:15pm - waitress comes to our table and tells us that "the machine" misprinted our order, our food should be out shortly. I'm sorry but this is very suspect to me, everybody else's orders were printed correctly and how does a machine misprint unless the operator mis-entered? When the food came it was good, but an extremely long wait, would have preferred to have just been told the truth....giving a rating of four but 3.5 is how I feel.

    Can't believe I haven't left a review for this place yet..Lol.. My midnight crew from work and I would try and visit weekly on Fridays..well we all went to different shifts and that ended. So when my hubby and I go for breakfast we always forget this place. Not today!! Stopped in and were seated right away. The atmosphere is like 50's diner on the outside and inside. Red leather seats and old signs and the black and white check floor. I ordered the Breakfast fries but instead of fries I had them add their potatoes. Talk about yum! The eggs over hard on top of them with their gravy and the cheese chunks.. then I get some of their sourdough toast which is to die for. My hubby even ordered the same as I did and loved it as well. He even ordered a stack of pancakes which were light and fluffy. They have daily specials and a case full of goodies when you check out too.

    I love this gem of an independent eatery! We have never been disappointed with anything on the menu. Their baked goods are amazing and they offer gluten free. If you have the chance to stop, your taste buds will be forever gra

    Diner meal with scrambled eggs, sausage, potatoes and 2 biscuits with sausage gravy

    Do not judge a book by its cover. This diner is a classic gem and a wonderful family-friendly foodie destination! The food is hearty and made with TLC. The space is very clean and well-taken care of. The is a ton of parking in the front and back. From the fresh coffee, to the fresh fluffy biscuits with gravy, all the way down to the potatoes, fresh fruit and blueberry zucchini bread, everything was tasty and delicious! We will absolutely make this a mandatory regular visit for future trips back to Ohio.

    Breakfast: Let me tell you about breakfast~ WOW....Dive Ass Diner is what we found for sure! *Eclectic Diner & Sweeterie in Delaware. The service was great and the food, ohhhh the food was scrumptious. If you go, get the Blueberry Zucchini bread and when asked if you want it grilled the answer is YES I will drive the 90 min trip to go again!!

    Harvest salad

    The food here is amazing! Definitely the best diner in town. We have tried their breakfast and their lunch and have loved every meal. You have to try their grilled cinnamon roll it is amazing.

    Great home style diner

    Great little eclectic diner off of 23, pun intended. I've driven by this place literally a hundred times never popped in and try it but now I can honestly say that I did stop in and I cannot drive by without stopping in ever again!

Got drinks & an order of chips and salsa since it's not included like most Mexican restaurants. We left after 30 minutes when they still had not taken our order or checked back!

All three had flavor, personality, and just enough mess to prove they don't skimp on the good stuff. (If your taco doesn't drip, did you even taco?) For dessert, I went all in with the Cheesecake Chimi. Imagine cheesecake got invited to a cinnamon-sugar carnival and decided never to leave. Crunchy, sweet, and dangerously addictive. The service was fast, the place was clean, and my only regret is that I didn't order extra napkins up front. Verdict: Come for the tacos, stay for the chimi, and wear a shirt you're not afraid to baptize in salsa.

The place is tiny, the sign is tiny, you drive a little faster, you will be like me, completely missed The parking also a little weird, I believe there 3 parking spots at the front, and 2 more parking spots on the side of the building, that's it, this is not a place you want to dine in, even tho there's couple of small tables inside, more of to go place. Now I'm not sure if they will take your order at the counter, there is a tv screen with the menu on there, and on the right hand corner there is a bar code you can scan on your phone and order it online, that's what I did I ordered the double cheese burger for $11, topping I input all on side. 6 wings for $9 and the small waffle fries for $3.75 Total came out around $24, they add another $1.25 for credit card charges, total over $25 and change Couple minutes later, the guy came out and told me there is no topping included, each topping is additional charge. I'm like wha???? So lettuces, tomatoes, onions, all additional charges on each. Now it become expensive, really expensive The burger not big But it is above average good Wing is typical like other places, nothing special Fries is good Is not like is so good when it comes to burger, this will be the first place that pop up in my head. I probably won't be back, just way over price in my opinion, and charging additional for topping is ridiculous, a good burger should be including lettuce, tomato's and onions. Reasons giving it 4 stars The burger is above average Fries is good Wings is okay Couple guys behind the counter are nice

And the building and restaurant has a cool history as being one of the oldest in the state. My server Ian was cool as was the rest of the staff I encounter. It s nice to see younger people with goals who take pride in where they work. He recommended the grilled sirloin which was good: A simple nice grilled steak with great char marks and seasoning. The potato was okay, and I couldn't tell if it was from a box or they peeled them, but they were tasty and a nice large portion. It just needed butter which they brought me. The Caesar salad was very good, and I am picky about both salads and dressings... I could have even eaten more of that! I am glad they are preserving it and its legacy. I am also glad they are open on Monday when many of their competitors in Delaware are NOT! When I first thought of Bunns, I thought of old people, and this clearly contemporary with an updated menu! They even have Jell-O! I wiIll definitely return and recommend it to anyone who asks me for a good place to eat... Much appreciated.

Backstretch is super casual (given Ohio Wesleyan is nearby - its almost a college/town bar) but great to come in a sit at the bar or one of their booths. It isnt big, maybe 15-20 bar stools and 12 booths and 1-2 tables. This time we picked a booth and a great server (Jacobi) helped us right away. Fun part of backstretch is the staff. Servers are friendly, you can watch the cooks prepare your food, and they have a full bar. Note they dont have many draft beer options, but servers tried hard to get us something we liked. Food here is fresh off the grill and tastes like home cooked food - from their Reuben(which was amazing) to Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich (has kick but so good) - you cant go wrong. This time we added Tots, Mac and Cheese, and the Deviled eggs (most sandwiches are served with a deviled egg - tasty). We also tried Jacobi recommendation of Hencock Tots - wing sauce - cheese and bacon. Should have just made that my meal. Amazing. They dont take reservations but unless there is an event in downtown, you can usually walk in for dinner. This was our third visit in 60 days! Ready to go back - thanks Jacobi for a fun night and see you all soon.
