Have to say this has become one of our favorites for casual dining with amazing food. Drove to…read moredowntown Delaware and found easy parking on the street (there are also nearby lots). 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.

My friend and I had…read morethe pleasure of dining here, and from the moment we walked in, the vibe was spot-on: super cool atmosphere, somewhere between "hip date night" and "I could happily live here." Our server, Tony, deserves his own fan club. He was the perfect combination of kind, attentive, and genuinely funny--the type of person who could probably convince you to order a shoe if it came with the chef's balsamic reduction. Speaking of which, I had the filet medallions with said reduction, and let me just say: if I could marry a sauce, this would be "the one." My friend ordered the scallops with risotto, and she ate every last grain of rice like she was guarding treasure. Special shoutout to Matt, the manager, who went above and beyond to accommodate my many food allergies without making me feel like "that" customer. Instead, he treated it like a fun culinary puzzle to solve. Food? Phenomenal! Service? Flawless! Atmosphere? Just the right mix of cool and comfortable. Regrets? Only that I didn't take a picture... but that just means I have to go back.

Our waiter was super friendly and quick! He brought out water and took our drink orders. I had the Patron Saint and it was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend. The rest of my party had a tequila sunrise, aperol spritz, and the coffee stout and all were great We had brunch and all of the dishes were so good. I enjoyed the French omelette and the dressing on the side salad was probably my favorite part! My mom loved the smash burger and the waffle fries were amazing and crunchy. My dad enjoyed the country fried steak with egg and also liked the fries. My brother ordered the best out of all of us! The shakshouka was to die for! Definitely give that a try if you have a chance. We finished up with the beignets which were okay but needed more powdered sugar. We also tried the whiskey bread pudding and it was pretty phenomenal! Overall great experience here and my family and I look forward to going back for dinner!

There is bar top seating too. I ordered the breakfast bowl and it was a lot of food. My husband got the biscuits and gravy, with 4 eggs, and a pancake on the side. Whenever we were done with a plate, it would be picked up by whichever staff was walking by. The waiting space is the only downfall. There is really only space for two to three people to wait for a table inside, comfortably. The staff have a waiting list that asks for phone number. We were called when our table was ready. Once seated, our table was right next to the door and there was someone constantly squeezing in the waiting space about 2 inches from the back of my chair. This was kind of annoying while trying to enjoy brunch. I think the staff should encourage people to wait outside or in their car and assure them they will be called to lessen the crowded entry space/first table.

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.

We had eaten a few weeks before at Son of Thurman in Delaware, OH, snd enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. We liked the atmosphere in this restaurant too, and we asked the waitress for her recommendations. She said they were known for their hamburgers. We had split the Philly Cheese steak in Delaware so we decided to get a burger for each of us. I don't like French Fries so I got a Side Salad instead. The salad came first and it could have been a meal itself. A little later the MushroomBurger and the Blue Cheese burger arrived. They were huge. I don't think I have had a hamburger this large in a very long time! What we couldn't eat we brought home and I think my wife had 2-3 more meals from the French Fries and the burger . We will be happy to go back here again!
