Just stopped in for lunch…read more.. This was our first time in and it was at lunch time so my rating is based on those facts. The place looks fun for a big game or a night out. It is really cool - lots of tvs, keno, darts, and pool tables. The staff was friendly and efficient. Julia is a great waitress. The wings were really good. I had the ruben sandwich with Cole slaw which the coleslaw was really good and the Ruben sandwich was ok. All in all not a bad place, i need to stop back for a evening visit.

No food offerings but staff was quick to suggest local options easily within walking distance. The beers were very good. I enjoyed their ESB then a Hefeweizen. Both well made and tried to style. Kind of a bummer to miss their cask offering for the week as it tapped out the night before. The city was so nice that we'll be back and I'll try the cask at that point.

What a wonderful place!…read more Not big, not fancy. You will feel welcome as soon as you enter All the beer is in house and are true to style. If you are lucky their will be beer on the Beer Engine

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.

An honest review. Have really been wanting to try this place. Got the burger because everyone raves…read moreabout it. Basically a smash burger cut in half in melted cheese. Great presentation but fell slightly short of more gimmick than "chef inspired." Burger just wasn't anything special for a $20 burger. Thurman across the street is probably a better choice. My wife got the Cod Schnitzel, sounded good but was a pretty small piece of fish for $27. I asked how it was, she said bland, even with the sauce. Really wanted to love this place. Might try again to see but unfortunately wasn't what we were hoping for. On the bright side, man our server was 1000% wonderful!!! So attentive and wonderful!

This spot was open late, which I really appreciated, and I was warmly welcomed even after 9 PM…read more Ana, who helped me, was patient and kind--definitely 5 stars for service. I had a hard time deciding what to order; the burger seemed popular, but I went with the fried chicken. Presentation was beautiful but ....For my taste, both the chicken and the pickled fries were a bit too salty, and the cocktail didn't quite hit the mark for me. I ended up taking the meal home because I really don't like wasting food--might repurpose the chicken for breakfast. Overall, I do wonder if the owners regularly taste the food themselves; it would be great if the balance of flavors was revisited. The space and service are lovely, and with a few tweaks, the food could really shine.

Great local brewery!…read more Good (to great) craft beer. Huge selection of Bourbon (no Sunday sales on spirits) Full kitchen with a wide selection of standard fair (Better then normal bar food) and great weekly specials. If you are near Delaware it is worth taking the time to visit. While there visit downtown and spend local.

Late night dinner for me and my husband (9pm) this place is one of the few places open after 9 in…read moreDelaware that's serves food. Pretzel bread made with Ale cheese- heavy on the ale. The bread itself also had an alcohol taste to it- maybe it's the batch as the last time I had it I couldn't taste it but this time I may not pass a breathilizer from it alone I had the RBW Burger and the aioli was tasty. The pickles were unlike any I've had before- like the thing between a pickle and a cucumber. The wait staff were nice! The volume was pretty standard for a bar. Only gave it a four because the food can be inconsistent between visits. (Last time the fries were way too salty and this time they were perfect- also the bread)

STOP AND READ! Don't…read morego here. Save your money! They don't acknowledge you when you walk in! They take forever to seat you! The waiter reeks of cigarette smoke! The table was absolutely disgusting- see pic! We asked for sanitizer and he said he would bring it back and never bought it back. We have an immunocompromised child and cannot risk her eating off a dirty table. I had to go to bathroom to get a paper towel and soap and wash my own table off. Why??? The town of Delaware is bustling but no one is in here! Obviously there is a reason! I saw a few employees in the banquet area eating pizza. Where is everyone?? Oh they are in the back! An employee in the hallway seemed dumbfounded when I asked her for sanitizer. She finally bought it to my table. The place is dead. The place is unkept. Bathroom stalls with no trash can liners. The list could go on and on. Health department needs to pay a visit and have a come to Jesus talk with this joke of an establishment. Definitely need to have an employee meeting to discuss hygiene and etiquette so customers can have an enjoyable meal without having an asthma attack triggered by an employee. Never again!

She was fine, food and drinks were served timely but there was nothing extraordinary about her standard service that would warrant a higher percentage tip. After paying, as my family and I were walking out, she calls out my father in front of other guests to ask if there was something wrong with her service. He explained he doesn't tip on tax and the alcoholic drinks but otherwise he gave an 18% tip...my brother and I went back and handed her another $10 in cash saying maybe we may have calculated it wrong (didn't) but wanted to be nice and handed her the cash...she proceeded to complain further and didn't offer any thanks. Sorry but if you're a waitress with that crappy of an attitude, you're probably in the wrong job. Very unprofessional and entitled.
