Rafter's Tavern — Restaurant in Town of Delaware

We went recently and have to say not impressed by food or service. (Note this is during COVID-19 take out only service) We called and ordered several dishes. The wings ( Honey BBQ) a lot of BBQ no real honey sweetness to it. Garden Salad the salad was not very fresh more like several days - week old greens.

I have a hard time saying if I will try again after such a substandard first try. Sorry but This one I can...

Everyone here — owners, servers, bartenders, kitchen staff, even many gusts — they're all committed to making Rafter's a great experience for locals and weekenders alike. They have music every Friday (more solo acoustic), Saturday (more bands) and a fantastic open...
