(Tookout 04/09/2025 WE @ 5:00pm): Archie... there was no need to be angry; you were serving up some good food! In my quest to explore the various cuisine scenes throughout Jersey City and specifically the Heights, I finally made my way to Angry Archie's. I'd seen them on my previous exploratory walks and possibly saw them with a food truck at a nearby park event. However, it was the fact that they sold lobster rolls, and frankly, the marketer in me loved the graphic logo! Would I be angry or happy with Archie for my first lobster roll experience in New Jersey!? PURCHASE Angry Lobster Roll ($22.00): A massive amount of Maine lobster meat mixed with a spicy corn mayo all stuffed into a toasted bun, this was sufficient to split with my friend. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and the buttery toasted bun was truly the icing on the cake. It was pricey, but dammit it was so good! I would love to try the heated version next! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=goUcQr5lYWSZGJbXYKHnzg Angry Crab Cake Sandwich ($17.00): A bulbous lump of crab meat mixed with spicy aioli, drizzled with citrus crema, while rested on a bed of crispy arugula, and placed between a buttery toasted bun, this was more crab-forward in flavor as the other elements didn't stand out as much. Possibly if they used the same mix from the lobster roll, the taste would be more enhanced? Again, the bread was outstanding; seriously, I'd buy the bread as a side! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=l-4TdG2hdYIq98cTDexPnA Full Portion Parmesan Truffle Fries ($9.00): A massive portion size of long thick spud sticks covered in parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, and truffle oil with a side of garlic truffle aioli for dipping, this was a blissful meal on its own! And, although we used the aioli, it really wasn't needed or seemed overkill at this point. We had leftovers which weren't as good, so eat it while it was fresh! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=uUhKPVY-0yYo0Uhavagcqg Double Cheese Mac N Cheese ($11.00): An absurd amount of tender pasta mixed with a four-cheese sauce, shaved parmesan, and herbed panko bread crumbs, this was one of the best mac n cheese dishes I've ever had! The cheese level was off-the-charts, and the panko was an ingenious idea. This was enough for two meals if you ate it on its own. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=idy1dMFN72rKV_12nlFuEg SERVICE I placed the takeaway order online, arrived about five minutes early, and soon after a friendly young man behind the counter came from the kitchen with everything wrapped up and ready to go - perfection! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance) This was an easy flat 20-minute walk from my friend's place. Otherwise, there appeared to be plenty of spots along the main drag of Palisade Ave. and all surrounding roads - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A simple layout https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=y5tIh_oEthczcPn2oM6SRg with a central order/pick-up counter that looked into the kitchen, a very legible menu https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=uo0dcsKpxRtaaKCYUf1RkA behind the counter, a dining bar with stools along the front window, a handful of tables, a hint of nautical decorations, and generally a really clean place. Plenty of natural lighting came through the large front window and door while recessed electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs while music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=dI0QvZ2MaTIkFqGlAgh2iQ ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Angry Archie's was awesome, and I would definitely return to explore their menu even more! Hands down, the portion sizes were incredible, everything tasted amazing, the prices were very reasonable, and the service in our case was straightforward. And, I always loved supporting small businesses whenever possible. I found total value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $63.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS read more

Angry Archie's Food Truck I didn't come to the restaurant, but the restaurant drove to me when I attended a fireworks festival this past Fourth of July. The warm sandwich on bread was topped with brown butter. As a side, I decided to go with its nephew to the seafood family. Never would I have ever guessed that crab meat topping blends perfectly with French fries! The taste was so superb I couldn't find a flaw even if I tried. The only minor downside was these two seafood dishes burned a hole in my wallet, but it was definitely worth the splash! read more

For a few years we worked the Jersey City Food Festival and these guys were always there. Everyday of every year we worked it, we made sure to be the first on line when they opened. Me and my girlfriend have an on going joke about how she got a lobster roll one year and she ate the whole thing and didn't offer me a bite. Now I just say "lobster roll" anytime she wants a bite of something I have. I've only had their lobster rolls. I want to try other items but the lobster rolls are so good. Next time I gotta try their poutine crab fries. read more

Angry Archie's - Double Cheese Mac & Cheese - Food Trucks Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

GET THE LOBSTER MAC & CHEESE! I always saw the truck passing through JC night markets and decided to try out Archie's headquarters on Palisade Ave. love the inside vibes and their amazing selection of fresh made delights. While the lobster mac and cheese is expensive, it's hands- down the most amazing mac and cheese I've ever had. I've been enjoying Mac and cheese since I was 5 years old, so I've had a lot of good and bad versions. This one is piled with fresh lobster and the creamy cheese really gives it a kick. The server really knew about this specialty and had confidence in the unique craft of the order. I definitely want to come back to try more dishes! read more

Angry Archie's - Parmesan Truffle Fries and Angry Lobster Roll - Food Trucks Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

UNBELIEVABLE! The food at this place is incredible. If I had more stars, they would get them all. Everything on the menu is better than the last. The crab cake sandwich is my favorite. I actually dream about it. The lobster rolls, a classic and always fabulous. The Mac and cheese and truffle fries are also amazing. They have a storefront in JC as well as multiple food trucks and can be found at most food festivals. The people are always friendly and accommodating. As with most seafood, this place can be very pricey. You may want to skip eating out for a few days in order to save up for a meal here however it is always worth it. read more

Decided to stop in over the summer because we needed our lobster fix! I'm glad we stopped in, location has seating and felt welcoming. We ordered a Lobster roll & Lobster Mac & Cheese - good! However a bit pricey for what you get? The pasta was cheesy but not my fav (I'm a picky Mac and cheese lover) and the lobster roll was very good - could have added maybe more lobster? Felt small. Anyways solid spot if you need your fix! read more

I'm a big fan of lobster roll. I tried it at different places, so I wanted to try Angry Archie's for the first time who has rave reviews. To be honest, I was very disappointed by their lobster roll. The portion was so little. I couldn't believe how tiny the size was when it came out. To be very honest, it's overpriced, overhyped. I'm not coming back. read more

Angry Archie's has excellent lobster rolls and sandwiches. They have easily become my top food truck stop when visiting Pier 13 or any other local festival I've been to. I recently visited Angry Archie's at Liberty State Park. I ordered the "Angry Crab Sandwich." The toasted bun was perfect and the crab had a nice citrus flavor. The sandwich tasted fantastic! I will definitely be ordering this again sometime soon. The lobster rolls are on point as well. It's a nice ratio of seafood and bread. I'm looking forward to my next crab sandwich! read more

Angry Archie's food truck is one of my favs in Jersey. I know they have a restaurant, which I haven't been too, but I have tried almost everything from the menu at least in the food truck lol. Me and my friend definitely have our fav. The Crab Meat Sandwich . It's so good! We always hunt them down to see what events and festivals they will be at so we can go get our grub on. The service is always good. There is always a line to order food at the truck (wonder why?.. lol ) but it's worth the wait! These guys are great! Definitely love the Archie's family and their delicious food!! read more

New Angry Archie's spot in JC Heights on Palisade avenue. I know they have food trucks but this was my first time trying them. Small place, mostly to-go, but there are seats available if you're set on staying to enjoy your food. We stayed and tried: the 2 lobster rolls they offer (one with the mayo called "angry" and one with lemon butter "warm") and a chicken sandwich. Getting chicken at a lobster spot is strange, I agree, but it was not my choice so don't shame me. Also I don't like mayo so I can only speak on the "warm" lobster roll. Although I can say that by the look of it, the lobster in the "angry" roll looks more like shredded lobster salad. The lobster rolls are quaint which is typical, right? I don't eat lobster rolls often so I dunno. Think... potato hotdog bun. OK, maybe slightly larger. I'm not sure. I didn't even take a pic because they were so small and I was hungry so by the time I thought about it... they were gone. Upon arriving at our table, the lobster looked plentiful which was pretty and my "warm" lobster WAS in fact, warm, so that was good. But here's why I'm not rushing back here: 1- $20 is a steep price point for such a little sandwich and I mean, I get it... it's lobster and someone's got to pay the rent but I dunno if this neighborhood cares too much about $20 lobster rolls. But then again the way gentrification is set up in the heights... and the way these landlords are engaging in predatory behavior... there very well may be a clientele looking for $20 rolls. 2- the lobster didn't taste like lobster. There was a HINT of lobster and that was it. The lobster meat is all claw meat which doesn't give what lobster is suppose to give imo. I'd be ok paying $25 if I knew I'd at least get some lobster tail meat... but claw meat is whack. 3- the "brown butter" was excessive. TBH I'm not sure if it was butter or oil... the menu says brown butter but my taste buds said "Girl, I dunno." I also didn't taste ANY lemon which it desperately needed and looking back I realize the menu states that this sandwich comes with "lemon vinaigrette". The sandwich was so small that by the time my brain answered the question "hmmm what does this need?" I had already taken a few bites and only had one left so I didn't think it was worth it at that point. I'm glad that Angry Archie's is adding a different option to the landscape of dining options in the Heights but I'm not so sure I will become a regular here. read more

Their food truck was parked by my job this afternoon, and I got the chance to order lunch from Angry Archie's with colleagues from work. While on line, I scanned the menu on the side of the truck - lobster roll, chicken sandwich, clam chowder, truffle fries... but then I saw it - POUTINE! I have a poutine problem. Poutine always tempts me. When I saw it was on the menu, had to try it. Even though poutine can be a hit or a miss. Fortunately, theirs was good... It kept in the cardboard takeaway box on my walk back to the office. Nice crispy fries with a generous portion of fresh lump crab on top, and sriracha aioli and creamy crab sauce cups on the side. I liked having the cups so I could choose the ratio of sauces - that sriracha aioli was my preferred between the two and ended up taking over my poutine. Overall, I was happy with my lunch. NGL it's a pricey lunch at $15, but it's a fair price for fresh and real crab meat. So Angry Archie's gets 5-stars from me. They are opening a storefront in the Heights by Fox & Crow, so looking forward to checking it out one of these days. read more

More 3.5 stars. Ordered delivery via DoorDash. When I opened the box with the "warm buttered lobster roll", I saw it was an empty hot dog bun with the lobster packed in a little container next to it and I thought that's it for $20? But I understand it was to keep the roll from getting soggy & once I filled the bun with it, it was actually a good amount of lobster. The taste was just OK though, and it didn't really seem like butter more like an orange-y oil. Wouldn't get that again. The "torn potatoes" had the mayo separate in the same way--glad it was since it was just plain mayo not garlic aioli and there was sadly no "herbed garlic butter" so I ate it dry. The potatoes themselves tasted kind of like breakfast home fried potatoes, pretty good. The double Mac & cheese was in a large container & pretty tasty. The lemonade seems they sent the regular lemonade not the "angry" one I ordered since there was no hint of jalapeño, and it tasted watered down. If ordering again I wouldn't get the lobster roll but I would be open to trying other items. read more

Everything I've eaten from this place is excellent. I've only had delivery, but it gets to my place in Hoboken still warm (the lobster bisque a was still even HOT... and delicious.) Really, just all the food is delish. From the two kinds of lobster rolls that are completely different but both delicious, to the angry chicken sandwich that blew me away. They even had some shrimp chorizo torta that I had yesterday. Amazing. Everything. Thank you Angry Archie! read more

Now when I was down at Harborside pre-COVID I tried stuff from their inside booth. Made me mad at work for the rest of the day. The soup was tangy. The crab cake fell apart. And I couldn't even go back out to complain or get a new lunch. Soooo when they showed up in my hood, I raised my brow. So 4 stars for this place is grrrreat from me. I've been back twice already. The crab cake sandwich is small but filling. Effort is put on every aspect of it to make it crispy, flavorful, and visually on point. I smile at it before I eat it. Don't fear it. It's awesome. I also love the soup! Creamy, silky, with chunks of perfectly diced potato & no itty bitty pieces of clam. So far I've only had those two. I questioned the mac & cheese, but I'm a simple gal, no toppings on my M&C. I don't eat lobster, so they would reeeeally have to impress me on that to change my mind. Love the decor. Nicely decorated to hang out a lil, or wait for the takeout. Only thing that makes me sigh is the price. I get it a little. Times, seafood, brick & mortar rent. But I'd be good if they gradually raised prices once folks got hooked. Buying from them is a payday treat, rather than a group hangout spot. Staff is nice & welcoming. Their smiles make handing over payment & handing back my takeout bag worthy of a 'Have a good day!" Go eat! But slowly enjoy each bite & get your seafood money's worth. read more

Angry Archies continues to be one of HarbourView's go-to favorites for our events! We've had the pleasure of working with them in the past, and they never disappoint.

Even with long lines, their team is efficient, professional, and keeps everything moving smoothly. We'll absolutely continue to book them for all our future events! read more

My first encounter was at their food truck in Bloomfield, NJ at my apartment building so it was easy to access. Unfortunately, the brick and mortar location is not convenient for me so I won't be back any time soon but I do have one warning: the food practically melts in your mouth and it's so delish that you can get overstuffed with even realizing it. Pace yourself and get a to go container. Lol read more

This is a restaurant/food truck that I absolutely crave the food. I don't live close to the brick and mortar shop, but anytime the truck comes near us, I will actually cancel plans to make sure I can attend. The crab poutine fries are amazing. The fries themselves stay, crunchy and delicious but with the crab poutine, amazing. I do love their lobster rolls. The food is always so fresh and consistently delicious. Also, the staff are always so friendly, they smile, engage, and handle the big crowds, still making me feel they appreciate me and don't treat you like just a body in line no matter how long the line is behind me.

There was a festival on Grove street and I saw a food truck with a giant crab on it and immediately went to it. I tried the crab poutine which had fries, crab meat, creamy crab sauce, and sriracha aioli. First of all, the fries were so crispy despite being covered in sauces. The crab meat was amazing, just melts in your mouth. It didn't have that gritty texture you sometimes get with crab meat. You also get a really good amount of crab meat too. Next time I want to try the lobster roll! read more

I've also tried the Lobster Mac n Cheese, the Angry Lobster roll, the Clam Chowder, and the Crab Poutine. You really can't go wrong! The Clam Chowder in particular was really delicious - if you're a fan, I'd def check out the truck! The Crab Poutine comes with a delicious remoulade. It's so good. read more

We went to the Fair Lawn food truck festival this weekend. Our friends pointed out Angry Archie's truck and said it was great, so we had to give them a try. $20 for a simple potato bun filled with the freshest lobster you've had outside of New England. There is no question of what you're eating because you can see the huge chunks of meat. It is absolutely delicious and filling. The warm sandwich has a little kick, but I wish it had a little bit more of the spicy corn flavor. Overall, I'm going to join my friends in recommending this truck every time I see it! Hopefully we see them again soon because I want to try other menu items! read more

I've been seeing pictures of Angry Archies food on Instagram, so we finally tracked their truck down on this beautiful Sunday afternoon. Staff was extremely helpful as I tried to decide which way to go.. I went with the Angry Lobster Roll. Which was cold Maine lobster, a spicy corn mayo on a potatoe bun. Wow. Lobster was fresh and the mayo wasn't exactly spicy but did leave a little kick in its aftertaste. Amazing. I also got the lobster Mac n cheese. That consisted of a lobster can sauce, cheddar, panko bread crumbs and of course lobster. Excellently done. My wife got the crab cake sandwich which she said was excellent as well. If they're near you or you're up to track them down, I suggest you do so. You won't be disappointed. read more

I ordered the lobster roll and it was delicious I definitely recommend this place. Ill be back to order it again!

I went to the food truck during "Ho-Ho-Kus Day" in the month of September 2022. I was very excited to try this lobster roll, and, the whole point of me going to this festival was to eat this lobster roll. The lobster roll in the picture was $20. It is served on a potatoe hot dog roll, nothing is on the side. I also ordered a coke which I believe was $2.00. I was very disappointed. The roll was completely dry. The lobster was dry. If I didn't have the coke I would of choked on it. It was also small. Really small for the price. For $20 I expected something a little better than a hot dog bun. There could of been some better quality bread. They were not that busy. There was one person in front of me and one person behind me as there was other trucks at the festival. I was disappointed, however, I am giving them 4 stars because they were super nice, super clean, and because I only tried the one menu item. There is a very good chance I could of ordered something else and really enjoyed it. I was hesitant to order something else because a lot of menu items were spicy. I would go back and I would try another items and if it was great I would update my review. read more

Angry Archie's - The fest where angry was - Food Trucks Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Angry Archie's food truck has been around for a long time but I had never tried it, probably because i'm not a huge crab fan. After they opened up a brick and mortar in my neighborhood I felt compelled to support and try it and I'm so glad I did! I had the Angry Lobster Roll ($20, Maine lobster chunks and spicy corn mayo) and Torn Potatoes ($7 Crispy Potatoes, garlic & herb butter, garlic aioli). The lobster roll was a relative steal at $20 and although not a huge lobster roll, for the price point I was very happy. I was expecting it to be a lttle different than usual based on the spicy corn mayo description, but it wasnt spicy and tasted like a typical maine style lobster roll. The torn potatoes won my heart because they were fried potatoe goodness. I am going to have a hard time eating here and not ordering the torn potatoes! So glad to have Angry Archies in my area and I cant wait to try more of their menu. read more
