This place has been opened long enough to have worked out the kinks, but they haven't yet. We have visited twice now.Both times we sat at the bar and had drinks and shareables. The beer they are having brewed for them is very good. Good enough for us to come back a second time.The food honestly isn't anything special.I see lots of potential here once they get their serving issues ironed out and up their food game. Otherwise, I can see it as just a place to sit on the patio and drink beer in the warmer months.

Never knew this place existed, and we were out barhopping and noticed it above the coffee shop.Cool vibe and basic bar drinks. No pretense, nothing fancy. Feels like you stepped back 30+ years in time. Cheap prices!Food available and racks of bagged snacks on the back bar wall. Friendly clientele.We had a good time. A family member did state that the owner likes to drink near closing and called certain patrons a racially divisive word. Forwarded is forearmed.

Basic breakfast menu. We were hoping to enjoy mimosas, but no luck here. Typical, but tasty breakfast dishes. Itâs nice to have a breakfast option in the area as we were passing through town. The service could have been better, like coffee refills and bringing our bill once our dishes had all been picked up from the table.

We shared a special salad (avocado, pineapple, chicken) and the BBQ Meatloaf -- both were quite good, although the meatloaf had a bit too much "filler". Our server was friendly, attentive and efficient. The prices were remarkably low -- the best value for lunch in 35 days of traveling across country.

Da wife and I stopped in for a short break during a day trip to see the Delaware Arts Festival (very fun! Go!). We have several OBON's back home in Hilliard, Ohio. The food looked pretty much the same here. They have a very nice patio for people watching.

First visit and deciding if I would visit again. This visit we had their burgers and were just okay. Not sure if was type of burger I ordered or what? Western style with BBQ, Bacon and Cheese. Fries were decent. Great location downtown, service and casual atmosphere though.

I ate dinner here last night and actually imbibed in some great beers!!! (before my wines!!!) . My server was Kylie and she was great!!! She was super-attentive and had a great personality!!! I let her pick out my beers for me and my only guidance was I wanted something unusual. She brought me an English Flannel and it actually was excellent. Next was the Smelly Pirate and it tasted a lot like gingerbread!!!!! I did ask for something different!!!!!! My meal was the Harvest Salad with chicken and I had a couple of wines with that. I sat outside the whole time and it was a very cool place to observe everyone, eat, and drink!!!! This is a cool place!!!!!!!

My wife and I stopped here after seeing great reviews. We were seated immediately and the atmosphere was nice. We waited about 10 minutes before ordering drinks but no biggie. Then we ordered our food and after about 45 minutes, the waiter came over and told us there was a printer problem when our order was sent to the kitchen but our food should be out shortly. Then 10 minutes later the 4 top next to us that was seated way after us all got their food. Then the table behind us who was seated after them got their food. At this point we were very annoyed and our waiter was no where to be found. We still had a 2 hour drive to our destination and spent over an hour here and still hadnât eaten. My wife and I ended up leaving without eating and we were very disappointed. I really hope this was a one off fluke and if not, I hope management figures it outTrent, I'm so sorry to hear about your poor experience. This was absolutely a one off fluke, and I'm so disappointed to hear about this. We did have printer issues earlier this month that have since been resolved. Unfortunately, technology sometimes has a mind of its own and can cause problems when it goes down or disconnects. When this happens, although extremely rarely, it sometimes does cause us to fall short. I am confident that as soon as the error was realized, the kitchen was working as fast as they could to put out your food. We are a made from scratch kitchen, and some dishes have a much shorter cook time, which could have resulted in other tables getting their food before you as yours was still cooking. I'm sure your waiter was waiting in the kitchen eagerly for your food, ready to bring it out the second it was ready. I want to apologize one more time, as we are always striving to be 100% our best, and we want every customer to have a five star experience. If you're ever in the area again, we would love to have you again and give you the experience that you read about in many other reviews!

We stopped in while attending the Delaware Arts Festival (Highly recommended! Good fun! Lots of chances to meet and pet dogs!). We had a couple drinks. We thought it was a Mediterranean place but it seemed more Mexican. Looks like they make their own hot sauce. Iâd have liked to tried one but didnât have a spoon. Fun place to stop in. Thereâs a BBQ place with a patio right next door.Weâd love to have you back and turn your 3-star to a 5-star! At 12 West we prepare a fusion of Mexican cuisine and southwest fare. If we can have you back, weâd would love to share our hot sauce and the rest of our menu with you! ;)
