    Son of bacon  with onion rings!
    Chuck G.

    What a great place! Both locations are awesome but this is our favorite. Tasty giant burgers, crispy onion rings & wings with friendly service!! Everything cooked to perfection!!

    Buffalo wings.  Really big.  Very good.

    Thoroughly enjoyable. Went here with a group of 7. Our table was almost ready when we got there. Nice. Very nice to not need to wait and wait. We appreciated that. We started out with drinks and appetizers. The mixed drinks were weak. I wouldn't order a cocktail here again. i would stick with beer. They did offer a free shot to the drinks but it should come not watery. So that was a bummer. Now the appetizers were a hit! Pepperoni chips came in a big basket. Plenty to share among 7 ppl. Had a dipping sauce that was rather good. We a reuben pizza which was excellent. For dinner most people ordered a hamburger of some type. All came out huge! Everyone seemed to love them. I ordered french fries and a Caesar salad. The salad was good but not super special however the fries.... Just so delicious. Yum We each really liked our trip in. Would return!

    Great dinner once again! We started with the fried banana peppers with the ranch dip. Outstanding flavor and crunch! I had the Son of Thurmandelphia. A great cheese steak, tender beef, cheese and fresh veggies. Great sandwich, comes with kettle chips. I ordered the 9" and had to take half of it home. My wife ordered the Junior Johnny Burger and had them replace the chips with fries. She said the burger was awesome!

    Italian sub profile...an inch plus of meat!

    Son and I stopped on for lunch to get a quick lunch. Ordered the Italian sub and a Blazin' burger...served hot, lots of meat and very tasty! I got the 7" sub and took half of it home...reheated nicely in microwave a couple of days later. Son enjoyed the Tabasco and pepper cheese...good heat but not overwhelming...though he likes a good bit of heat. No part of that sandwich left the restaurant! Fries okay. Immediate seating (midweek; 1:30 arrival). Prompt service; drinks refilled without asking.

    Their BLTs are insane. Their burgers are HUGE. Their onions straws were a big hit with our table. I was a fan that they had a full bar as I was on vacation. Their pizza is not great, do not go for that. But that was my fault ordering a pizza at a burger joint. The wait staff is friendly. The inside area is quite dark and has a very factory, unfinished feel to it. The patrons ranged from families with young kids to bikers to teens to cute elderly couples. It really is a place for everyone. The bathrooms were pretty clean. There is street parking available, you might have to drive around a few blocks to find it, Just make sure someone knows how to parallel park!

    Onion Straws

    Finally made it to the Son of Thurman in Delaware, OH. We order the Onion Straws for an appetizer and they were absolutely Amazing. I decided to order the Thurmanator and it's was the biggest burger I've ever ordered and it tasted absolutely fantastic. The service was quick and attentive as well. The atmosphere was fun and inviting, we will definitely be back!

    So glad they now have 1/3 lb burger option, which is plenty for me. Always cooked to order, fresh and tasty. Many burger combination to try. Onion rings and house made chips are both good. Service was good, constant refills, but waitstaff did forget to put our order of Ruben balls in, but once we figured it out, we decided we didn't need them.

    Easy parking, nice huge establishment. Service was friendly and quick. This is typical bar food...tho was hoping for more, given the hype. They are known for their burgers and wings. We had the Mushroom, which was good. .nothing exciting, but still good. The whole winga are huge and quite tasty, perfectly fried and still juicy. The son of thurmandelphia was also a good sub, nothing spectacular, but good. Prices were very reasonable and the portions were big. For a good and quick meal, this iconic place can be a good choice.

    After the Delaware Farmer's Market, my wife and I wanted to rewind time at this old school diner…read more Leave it to us to go to a place called Hamburger Inn and not get a hamburger. And I think that might have been our downfall. We went the breakfast route and started with a Cinnamon roll made right on the griddle. It created this crispy char that gave the roll more of a funnel cake texture. Unique,and the icing definitely enhances it (as it does most cinnamon rolls). Their special breakfast sandwich, "The Morning Wake-up" touts a "2x the size English Muffin" and they were not lying. This sandwich had cheese, multiple meats and vegetables, and I needed to take half of it home due to sheer size. What it didn't have... sauce. What it needed... sauce, syrup, aioli or something to lubricate all of those toppings. The breakfast potatoes on the side needed salt/seasoning/sauce, too, to be more to my liking. It was a similar experience with my wife's Reuben and the fries that she ordered; the sandwich had its moments, but it made me wish one of us got a burger like most of the other patrons.

    This restaurant might as well be a time machine. You walk in and there are no tables just a bar…read morethat outlines the center of the restaurant where you simply find the best seat possible and grab a menu. The specials are wrote on a board and the service is great. One of the coolest places you can go to.

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!

The best part of the meal was the appetizer - sautéd mushroom toast - really tasty! I don't recommend the Steak au poivre (a filet with sauce = supposed to be a classic French dish of pan-seared steak, traditionally filet mignon, crusted with coarsely cracked peppercorns and served with a rich, creamy pan sauce made from the pan drippings, cognac, and heavy cream.) - cut of meat was definitely not tender enough as filet should be, sauce was okay but not "au poive" & oddly it was served with traditional french fries which I found a mismatch - I would not order that again. Wife ordered the evening special Flounder - it was pretty good. We'll go back sometime & try some other things. Most people around us were ordering sandwiches, and they looked pretty amazing.

Our waiter was super friendly and quick! He brought out water and took our drink orders. I had the Patron Saint and it was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend. 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!

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.

The staff were very nice and told us to make sure we come back to dine in (I'll be back ASAP!). Our food was delicious!! I had the Birria torta and my husband got an assortment of tacos (which of course I tried), we also shared the chori queso. The bread from the torta was fresh and soft and loaded with meat, it did get a little soggy but I wasn't bothered considering it was birria. I especially loved their salsas, they were both packed full of flavor and the red one had a nice kick. We enjoyed all of the tacos, al pastor, steak, campechanos, and quesa birria. They were a good size and very flavorful. The chori queso was pretty good, it wasn't overly greasy like some others I've had and the chips were fresh. Overall this seems like it will be a great spot, Delaware has plenty of Mexican Restaurants to choose from but Hacienda offers some different options I haven't seen at the others. Happy to have them in the area!
