So good. Worth the stop…read more We were driving back to Columbus and decided to stop at Smash Shack Burger and I'm so glad we did. Everything was sooo good. We ordered to-go and the wait time was only about 10 minutes, which was impressive. We got smash burgers, fries, and nuggets, and all of it hit. Burgers were juicy and flavorful, fries were solid, and the nuggets were a surprise favorite. Highly recommend if you're passing through. We'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu next time!

I was in the area and yelppie recommended this burger place, and eating is pretty high, so I…read morethought I stop by. 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

We ordered the pretzel bites with cheese and the fried banana peppers which were tasty. Our party ordered a few different burgers with fries to which we all agreed were pretty overcooked and underwhelming. The flavor was just lacking unfortunately and the fries were a bit mushy. Not terrible but not the best either.

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)

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
