A great stop for beer lovers. Friendly small pub in downtown Delaware. Beautiful wood bar and super…read morehelpful staff. 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.

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.

Fun dive bar! It's…read morea dive, so keep that in mind. It's usually very college-ey as well. The space is small and narrow but it's a good spot for a late night drink! Also cool that they give you the cups you can walk around with outside. I've never had bad service, it can just take a minute when they're busy. But... overall the bartenders usually get to me pretty quick. I've never ran into a rude or bad crowd here so that's usually nice to know that the bar doesn't tend to attract a hostile population. Not my most favorite place, as I usually tend to prefer a little more upscale or modern hipstery type bar... but given this is one of the few late night spots, I'll probs be back!

Gotta drop a star on this review due to the rude waitress we encountered today. Jess may need some…read moretraining in customer service and industry tipping standards as she provided the minimum service today and apparently expected a large tip. 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.

We also ordered the Kalua pork and the Katsu chicken. Everything tasted like were used to in Hawaii. Almost weird to find a Hawaiian restaurant in this quaint little city in central Ohio.

I ordered the Katsu chicken starter and Teriyaki beef plate with rice and macaroni salad. Same quality as I'm used to, but I really like the tiki bar atmosphere with Hawaiian music playing. They have a nice front outside patio area that's perfect for a nice day out. The bartender was very attentive. I loved the Katsu Chicken appetizer with 3 dipping sauces! Sorry for the random sentences. I'm typing while eating lol. Anyway, great surprise off of Sandusky. I'll be back!

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)

I will be making this at home if I can figure out the right mix. My wife had the Mexican salad with chicken and she said that it was awesome. I also tried two of their beers and a cider. First I had the Delicious which is a light wheat beer, very refreshing. Second was the Webrewedabeertogether which was a Bock, great tasting dark beer and then I tried the Eat a peach cider, also light and refreshing.
