Since this restaurant was on the 52 week restaurant list for "OnMilwaukee" I thought I'd give it a try. Personally I wasn't impressed. Everything was sold individually so it was almost $15-20 just for lunch depending on what you order Food was okay. Lunch rush was busy since this is the only restaurant in the area that's within walking distance Limited seating. 6 regular tables for 4 people, about 9 seats at the counter/ bar area. As far as the high tops are concerned there's 3 that could seat 2 comfortably but had seat for 4 people which is rather cramped plus 2 high tops for 2 in corners of the restaurant. Plus Scratch ice cream shares the dining room area Street parking is only available read more

I am not a big burger person but my husband speaks so highly of Archies burgers. We stopped in for a quick bite, burger, onion rings, and fries. Everyone was so friendly and helped us making a decision, you order up at the bar, which makes service simple. Served in a classic basket and cup, and quick, everything was great! There is pretty limited seating but we were able to find a spot. We didn't stick around for too long, but made sure we stopped at scratch ice cream next door for dessert! read more

I simply google searched for the best smash burgers in Milwaukee and this is the place that came up first. Having never been I figured I would give it a try. I am so glad that I stopped to enjoy this epic lunch. I went in about 1 o'clock and was immediately seated at the bar where I was also served immediately. Once I ordered my food, it was out in minutes. The music playing was classic rock which I loved, and the overall vibe was pretty chill. I ended up going with an Archie burger, which is a double patty smashed burger and ordered a Coke and a side of fries. All of that came out to 18.99 which I think these days is a bargain, considering the burger had to be cut in half because it was so ridiculously gigantic. You more than get your moneys worth when you order a burger here. The fries were lightly salted and seasoned, but just right to be especially tasty. Overall, my experience was absolutely terrific and this is far more approachable and affordable in my opinion than something like five guys or any other supposed Smashburger place in town. Do yourself a favor and hid Archie's for the most legit Smashburger you'll find. read more

After hearing such great things about this place, and my friends excited for me to try it, I couldn't wait to try the Linda burger after all I had to! It did not disappoint. It was bursting with flavor, substance, and a delicious fresh potato bowl! It was difficult to pick up so I used a spoon. The burger did not hold up well but the taste made up for it! The staff were amazingly friendly and engaging like old friends at Cheers bar. The only thing that wasn't quite right was the flavor of the panko onion rings lacked flavor after all of the yumminess in the burger. It's very sizable but not didn't hit the spot so I left most of it. Love how Scratch Ice Cream is connected for that after dinner sweet tooth but I was too full. read more

I recommend. The atmosphere is between a classic diner and corner bar, it's very nice. The service was fast but still friendly. The burgers are very good with yummy crispy-like edges, as it's a smash burger. You find your seat and then order at the bar. read more

I love me a good smash burger and Archie's may be one of the best in Milwaukee. Remodeled to have the look and feel of a '50s diner, simply order at the bar and take the number back to your seat. They have a great beer selection (bottles/cans/tap) as well as some cocktails for those to wish to imbibe with their food. I went with the single cheeseburger and it was perfectly prepared-crispy edges, great sear on a wonderful bun. If going back, I would probably opt for the double cheeseburger and the sauce to help round out the bun:beef ratio. Really cute place with an ice cream shop attached for those to wish to grab something sweet after their burger. Archie's definitely lives up tp the hype. read more

Another solid meal at Archie's - we had onion rings, fries, and the #2 burger. The potato buns are the perfect vehicle for the crispy-edged burgers - pillowy soft! The thick onion rings are super tasty. Our food came out quickly, and everyone was really friendly. Seating was at a premium but we were able to find seats before our food was ready. Always a bonus to have Scratch Ice Cream next door for dessert! read more

Recently visited Archie's Flat Top for my husband's birthday and had a great experience. The smashburgers were huge, perfectly seasoned and incredibly satisfying - exactly what you want from a burger joint! The service was also very kind and welcoming, it was also family friendly which makes it even better. And to top it off, we enjoyed Scratch ice cream after, the strawberry flavor was a classic. Definitely a place we will recommend and happily return to! read more

Great spot for a casual bite with a vintage diner feel. The menu is simple but solid--smash burgers, chicken sandwiches, sausages and hot dogs, plus fries and onion rings. It definitely gives off In-N-Out vibes, especially with Scratch Ice Cream attached. Staff is always pleasant and spinning great tunes :) read more

We had a fun, casual dinner at Archies Flat Top Grill in West Allis! The restaurant is clean, staff is friendly, and the diner vibe is cute and relaxed. My burger was a little more smashed than I expected, but still delicious--I especially loved the onions! The fat, crispy onion rings were amazing too. Adults enjoyed PBRs, and the kids loved malts made with Scratch ice cream (available at local grocers). Bonus fun: there's pinball! Highly recommend for a laid-back family night out. Enjoy read more

First time here and we were not disappointed. Came on a Thursday, right as they opened at 11:30. The place has an nostalgic feel to it. Everything from the neon signs, the checkerboard tile floor, vinyl seats and formica tops, makes you feel like you stepped back 70 years (before my time). Big windows on the front for lots of natural light. The restaurant is also connected to "Scratch" Ice Cream, and they share the dining rooms (separate review for that). For seating you have two dining room areas with table for 2-4 people. There is also a counter for eating too. Got greeted right away, and help with the menu. (Thanks Betsy). There are plenty of great sounding items on the menu, ranging from burgers, to sausage and chicken breast sandwiches. They even have a black bean burger if you're vegetarian. I settled on the Archie Burger, two smashburger patties with the the fixings, and a potato bun. OMG! I could not believe how good the burgers were. They smashed it so much that there were an incredible amount of caramelized lacy edges that were extremely flavorful. The onions, cheese and chipotle sauce were a perfect accompaniment. I wanted to eat the entire thing, but with the order of onion rings and the promise of ice cream for dessert, I had to take some leftovers home. That was a very difficult decision. By the time we finished the meal, the rest of the place had filled up. By the looks (and pleasant sighs) you could tell that everyone else was enjoying their meals. Definitely jumped to the top of my "must have" burgers. (t read more

Got take out from this place because I had read about it being a great spot for burgers and wasn't really that impressed. I thought the fries were great, can't really mess that up. The fried onion rings were...interesting. It was like the dough was really thick or something cause yeah it was crunchy on outside but the inside was chewy like the dough didn't quite cook all the way through and was gummy around the onion itself. Didn't even finish them. Burgers were underwhelming too. It's a smashburger sure, but when eating it you wished it was at least juicy cause it was just so plain. Mind you mine how other toppings but yeah, definitely was expecting way more. read more

Bestttt smashburgers around mke fr. Loved the retro vibes inside. Our food literally came out in 5 mins too???? My patty was literally exploding out of my burger and tbh some of it had to be sacrificed bc it was falling apart but that made it so worth the money. Fries were definitely enough for 2 to share!!! and then after dinner, you can get ice cream at scratch next door - they're literally connected! Would highly recommend getting burgers here read more

This past Sunday me and two of my friends decided to give Archie's a try. We heard nothing but good things about them and I like good burger even though I don't need much on it to enjoy it. I checked out their menu before hand and it's small, but sometimes you don't need to have a lot on a menu to serve great food. My friend with just fries because I just learned she's not really a burger person. Now you may think how is she your friend and not know this? Me and her bf been friends about 5 months or so I am learning as I go lol. She just went with an order of fries and I went with the #2 minus the onion with a Coors Banquet and her bf went with all the toppings. A lot of $3 beers and if you sell Banquet at this price, you're okay by me. While waiting for our food I noticed that they had Malort so I asked the employee for 2 shots. Yes, I am one of those weirdos who likes the must hated booze known to man kind but got my friend Ty on the Malort train and he likes it as well. It's the aftertaste to us anyways that reminds us of grapefruits and we both enjoy the fruit. We were introduced to fernet that we never heard of it tried, but I would say it's not too bad. Food finally arrives and just the shear smell of the fresh burger has me ready to dig in. I finished my burger, but it was messy and I was full! Nice crispy edges, cheese melted just right on it and the side of pickles nice and crisp. Fries were hot and crispy as a good fry should be. Overall for the price and experience, it was well worth every cent and will be back again. Only this time I would go with one patty, but knowing me I would go with 2 patties again. read more

Be sure to get a copy of your receipt. I didn't receive one, and later found out a 20% tip was added to the total that I know I did NOT include on the receipt that I signed. I left a cash tip separately. This is shady and dishonest, and I wonder how many other people have been stolen from. And yes, it is stealing. I did contact them and the tip amount was refunded, but no reason given as to why it happened. I only came back because I was treating my parents to dinner and this is the place they chose. I definitely will NOT be coming back. read more

What a cute place! The restaurant has a fun diner vibe and is connected to an ice cream shop. You can sit in either location which opens up additional seating, especially for larger groups. The restaurant is order at the bar and seat yourself style. All the staff we interacted with were great. The smash burgers were giant and perfectly done. Definitely a messy meal but totally worth it. The menu is small and simple but that is part of the experience. The fries are good too- I usually don't finish fries at restaurants but these were so good I took what was left home and reheated them in the air fryer later. Such a fun dinner spot in West Allis! read more

Yum! If you're a fan of smash burgers, this place is a must try. The service is quick and efficient-order at the bar, and your food gets brought out to you, making it perfect for a quick bite. The prices are reasonable too. The retro vibe here is really fun, especially with the black-and-white checkered floors, my all time favorite flooring. The smash burgers themselves have great texture, I recommend adding the Archie sauce. I will say the edges of the burger were a little too smashed and crispy for me because it came out crumbly and a bit toasty but nothing the Archie sauce can't fix. The onion rings were fine but didn't quite wow me. Next time, I'll be swapping them for fries to see how those compare. A nice bonus is that the dining space is shared with Scratch ice cream spot, so you can grab dessert right after your meal. I'm excited to come back and support this kind of fun, casual dining. It's exactly the kind of place I'd love to see more of. read more

I was super pumped to try Archie's and I was subtly under impressed. It's decorated as your stereotypical 50s diner, has a limited menu, and their ranch is definitely hidden valley. The service was great and staff was friendly. I got the Archie burger and enjoyed it. The house sauce needed more salt and seasoning. The fries were my favorite and perfectly crisp. Overall, I enjoyed my lunch date with friends but was hoping for a better burger! read more

Good service and nice place to chat with friends or family. I love the diner look to this place and even better that it has an ice cream shop connected! Many different flavors with vegan options too. They also have pints and stuff from the bakery across the street. We loved the delicious smash burgers! The onion rings were fantastic too. My only negative was that someone in my party had a pinkish burger. They didn't mind but I definitely would've hahaha. Everyone in my party loved their food!! read more

Was nearby so I decided to drop in for an early lunch. I'm glad I did. Archie's Flat Top really delivers the goods. I sat at the bar and ordered a No. 1, onion rings and a Schlitz on tap. The burger came out pretty quickly and it was huge, easily overwhelming the bun. The flavor! Wow this burger is seasoned nicely and the smash part really delivers on the caramelized edges. Very nice. The onion rings were good. The beer was nice and cold and fresh. What a combo. Interior is cute and service is quick. Will for sure stop in again. read more

Archie's is a classic style (think 50's black and white checked floor, red stools, etc) burger diner and bar. It's as cute as a button and squeaky clean. They have a menu of burgers, fries, onion rings and the like. My dining companion and I were happy to see they had a black bean and corn veggie burger on menu. Now, black bean burgers are typically my least favorite sort of veggie burger. But, not so at Archie's! Their black bean burger is made smashed burger style and is seriously wonderful. You will not miss a thing with this burger. It was one of the best, if not the best, black bean burger I have ever had. Their fries are crinkle cut and unseasoned. They were a solid aok. Their onion rings are huge and delicious. They have menus at the tables but it's an order at the bar/counter situation, they'll give you a number, and they'll bring your food to your table. So excited to have found this gem of a spot in West Allis which is conveniently adjoined with Scratch ice cream so you can enjoy some ice cream after! Get to it! read more

I had a burger craving something fierce, so we jetted off to West Allis. Archie's Flat Top is a cute retro style cafe with a nice vibe. They play records and Green Day was up when we were there. We started with drinks and I had Archie's version of a Brandy Old Fashioned Sweet. Ooh, that was so good! They make it very strong, no muddled cherries, just an orange slice. It had a really smooth, caramel-like flavor. I ordered the Archie's #1 burger, single patty cheeseburger. Our food was ready in a flash! It was so unbelievably perfect. The burger patty is thoroughly smashed, lots of crispy brown edges and bigger than the bun. My mouth was watering before I even dug in. I savored every delectable bite! And don't forget they share a space with Scratch Ice Cream parlor. You can really have it all when you are here! read more

It had been a few years since we had been to Archie's Flat Top,but had a gift card, so stopped for lunch on a Sunday afternoon.The place was hopping. No problem, we sat at the bar and were quickly greeted.Not a huge menu,but a nice and simple variety. All their meat comes from the Butcher Shop they own cause by,so it's really fresh.They have e really nice beer selection and specialty drinks too.These are smash burgers with nice and crispy edges and cooked perfectly. You can add additional toppings to customize it to your taste. We also had an order of fries and onion rings, both excellent. So to sum it up,Archie's has kept the quality I remember and has sacrificed nothing. Their prices are very reasonable,especially for the quality. This will be a go to burger joint for us,we will definitely be back again much sooner. You should definitely put them on your list to check out. read more

Cute diner vibes and in the active Becher Block of restaurants in West Allis. This place will fill up! Smash burgers are great, even The Linda (which is the veggie burger, but it will fall apart when you try to eat it). Sides are ordered separately but both the fries and onion rings are yummy. Really solid place. Order at the bar, but they bring your food out to you and bus the tables. Get a scoop at Scratch after, they're connected seating areas. read more

Went back a second time to see if the burger improved. I ordered with sauce again and this time without butter on the bun. The bun held up better this time depsite grease accumulating on it from the paper-lined basket in came in. The patties were cooked to well-done, so the meat was dry, and the grease helped a little. The patties also tasted over-seasoned with pepper, especially. I barely tasted the cheese, except when I bit a piece of oversized patty with cheese on it, and I didn't taste the onions, even though you could see there were plenty. I didn't add any condiments to the burger. The crinkle cut fries were crispy and lightly seasoned. Counter service was great, just like last time. I can understand the popularity of this place. It's just not what I'm looking for. I want a juicy burger (greasy doesn't count as juicy) with a balanced flavor from balanced seasoning and a balance of toppings, so everything can be tasted and it all works together. If we could give half stars, I'd give 3 1/2 stars. read more

Can't find my review- that I thought I wrote one of the first two times here.... Love the smash burger- crispy edges of the very tasty burgers. Ordered the Archie both times- for me... the two patties are too much (shared it with a friend the 2nd time)- can't get past how deliciously messy the whole damn burger is.... Love love love it. The fries and onion rings are outstanding. ... good beer on tap- and spirits available as well. The best part (if you have saved room) (which I learned the first time)- scratch ice cream is open/partnered with them in the space. (Had the fudge swirl cookie dough- and I dream about having that one again as well.) Please don't tell anyone about this place.... I love it too much. read more

Great little place in West Allis and it is connected to an ice cream shop. Sat at the bar one night after working out with a friend.
