    This is one of my favorite places to eat in the neighborhood. It's also one of my bang for your buck restaurants. Everything on the menu is very reasonably priced and delicious. I usually rotate between the chicken sandwich and the smash burger. But I have also tried the different sausages. Fries and onion rings are very tasty and always fresh and crispy. Love the Back to the Future feel of this place. Enjoy the music they play in here and also playing pinball while I wait for my food. There is no table service here. But the staff is always very friendly and efficient. This place is always busy and I've never had a long wait for my food. They have on tap cocktails and a nice beer selection. The adjoining room serves homemade ice cream. What they have done to this stretch of Beecher street is fantastic.

    The Archie and fries. Photo does not do justice to the behemoth that this burger is.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    The single with the seeded bun, tomato, lettuce. Looked like a mess.

    Pretty impressed by this place! It's a very unassuming location outside, but once you go inside,…read morethe vibes are immaculate. I love all the air plants they have and the dark interior really does make it more of a "classy dive" as their name suggests. We came here for a Sunday lunch and to catch the Brewers game. They had a three dollar special on domestics when we went, which was cool. Our server was nice and our orders came out promptly. The food was absolutely delicious. I was blown away by it actually. When I go to dive bars, I don't have the highest expectations for the food because usually the food is mediocre. However, at this bar, it really blew me away. I had the ODB smashburger with regular fries. The burger was juicy and flavorful with such a fluffy, soft bun. I love that they put crispy onion straws in it for a little crunch. The fries are steak fries. They had some beer batter type of coating that made them so crispy and yummy. I'm glad I stumbled upon this place. I look forward to coming back to catch another game and eat their delicious food!

We started with the really big pretzel and birria nachos. Both appetizers were HUGE! Everyone loved the pretzel. It was soft with a perfectly crisp outside and did not have a dry inside like a lot of the soft pretzels I order out. The cheese dip was excellent too. The nachos were fantastic--loved the pickled onions. They were a unique and tasty addition. After the large appetizers, we realized we didn't have room for full entrees. Everyone ordered some wings. I really wanted to try the hot sauce but was scared to commit. Our server was super friendly and brought me some out to test with bread. Loved the flavor, but it was indeed too hot for me. I went with the garlic parm sauce (so good). My son got a side of the Mac and cheese which I thought was delicious. Cavatappi noodles, breadcrumbs, oh my! ODB's menu might feature some "typical bar food" but it is realllllllly good bar food. The menu has a great variety of choices but isn't too big and overwhelming like a lot of places. The bar looked fun too, there was a dj and everything. I'll be back (probably for that birria sandwich I had my eyes on!).

And, best of all, is the local WI craft beer! And there is only one place we go in the entire stadium to get local craft beer: Local Brews in Section 207! With around 2 dozen craft beers on draft from local WI breweries, the selection is phenomenal with something for everyone. There are always so many great options that I have to get two! This time I got the Gnumbskull Mexican Lime Lager from PetSkull Brewery and the Ninja Dust from One Barrel brewery. I loved them both! My spouse got the Fantasy Factory from Karben4 and Moonman from New Glarus Brewing. Prices are high, but well worth it for quality WI beers during an exciting baseball game! The staff are always super friendly, offering advice and samples if you are having trouble deciding between beers. The wood and metal structure that makes up the vendor space is eye catching and classy, you can't miss it when you head over to Section 207. It is always well staffed to ensure folks can get up, get their beers, and get back to the game! If you enjoy WI craft beer, make your way over to Section 207 and grab a beer at Local Brews! And if that's far from your seat... you could probably use the extra steps. So make your way there today!

It's open Tuesday-Saturday for lunch and dinner. Parking is on the street and is free for 2 hours which is plenty of time to dine here. It's nice inside and has a full bar. I ordered the Smokehouse Half Chicken platter for $18. It came with cole slaw, cornbread and one of their side dishes. I chose the Smokehouse Beans and it took about 10 minutes for the meal to arrive. While I waited I checked out the 4 sauces that were on the table and liked the KC mild the best. When the food arrived I noticed the large 1/2 chicken and the sides. The chicken was juicy and delicious with a smokey flavor. Paired with the KC mild sauce, it was yummy (4). Yes, their chicken is very good but it was the side dishes that really impressed me. The beans were rich in flavor and savory. Perfect (5). The cole slaw was creamy and smooth tasting making an excellent palate cleanser (5). The cornbread was soft and warm with that original cornmeal aroma (5). And finally, I ate the 2 pickle slices added on the plate. Fresh tasting with a firm texture and perfect flavor (5). The table service by Maxie was friendly and efficient. I wish I could have had one more meal here to test other menu items before giving this score. My experience has found that many bar b q restaurants prepare very good meats but it's their side dishes that make some of them stand out. The chicken was very good and I would order it again but the side dishes really impressed me. Even the pickles! For those reasons, I give Double B's a 5 score. This is as good as it gets.
