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!

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 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.

They are known for their homemade Stromboli. We ordered the small Greek Stromboli and one with pepperoni, sausage and banana peppers. Both came with a dipping tomato sauce, which seemed homemade. The Greek one was good but the pepperoni one was better. The Stromboli exterior was excellent, perfectly baked, not too bready!! So good! The service was efficient and attentive and the ambiance was lively, seemed to be a lot of regulars. The price was very affordable - $9-14 for a small Stromboli depending on toppings. The small was plenty for one person. We took home leftovers!

This is even for common domestics, so avoid beer and just get liquored up. It doesn't regularly have food. Sometimes it will for sports events. When there's football on they might have pizza.
