    Went there with our riding group for lunch. Plenty of seating on the patio for our group of nearly 20 people. Our table had, shrimp PO-boy, Cuban sandwich, Vermont burger, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks and jalapeño potato barrels. The menu selection is up to date, price and quality very good, and portions are plenty, It wouldn't offend me if the side of coleslaw was bigger. Staff was friendly, confirmed orders, and attentive with refills. Service was good, especially when 20ish folks show up, I think we call ahead so it's not a surprise. So now the reasons they only got 3 stars. The picnic table we sat at seemed like it was 2-3" short for adults, leg cramper all around. Maybe a little bit picky, but we did have to ask for napkins and silverware. However my biggest reason is for one of my restaurant pet peeves: servers not knowing what is not available on the menu. Both appetizers we originally wanted were not available, which we were told 15 min+ after placing the order. However we were only charged for the lower cost original appetizers we ordered which was nice.

    Rusted Nail is the only decent place in Ashley. It looks like it's pretty modern. The interior is clean and there's plenty of TVs. It has some good liquor. The food is mostly barbecue and fried stuff. It doesn't have much competition. It really doesn't even have to try and they would still be okay. The only other restaurants looked like an ice cream place and a nasty looking pizza place. It seems to be more of a bar. The food doesn't look the least bit healthy. It's very meat centric. The rest seems to be fried stuff. I had a Jameson and ginger ale. It's about $5 for a glass. This is a pretty average price. It's one of the few bars or restaurants in the area. It's not that far from Delaware State Park. This is a dining option if you're camping there.

    Came here for the tater tots and wasn't disappointed! So good and the star. My wife had the nut…read morecrusted chicken salad which was also good. I had the Reuben...big mistake, not a lot of meat. Get the tots when you come here and thank me later!!!

    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.

    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)

    Absolutely love this place! Great food, clean, great employees! We started with their sweet potato…read morefries, they were hot and crunchy, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and drizzled with caramel. So good, decadent really. I had the RBW Sloppy Joe- Chorizo, BBQ sauce, cheese and onion petals on a pretzel bun! This sandwich is to die for!! 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.
