The dining room was very dated and in need of basic maintenance and cleaning. Not what I would expect from a restaurant in a "country club". We should have just left after looking around, my mistake. Based on the atmosphere and quality of food; it is very overpriced. Waitress was friendly enough but that couldn't make up for what the food was lacking. Obviously, we won't be going back.

I think it was ready early as the food was not very hot. You pickup at the bar and they don't keep warm. They put in styrofoam containers.

It was HUGE. Look at the pic. The poor bun doesn't have a chance. lol. It was very good. Fries appeared to be fresh cut and were tasty. I do recommend. If in the area again, I would go back.

The quality of food has gone downhill for a few years now.

Actually, it's the other bar rescue asshole that I don't like but you know what I mean . i've never seen a menu where everything is crossed off as far as the prices. Yep, there is more. A dirty looking dilapidated kitchen with food being pulled out of a refrigerator that is lower grade than mine. Looks like a good place to get food poisoning and you can tell they don't care. Looking at reviews on Google maps, seems there is a reason the prices are crossed out on the menu. Embarrassingly high priced for low quality crap. Playing bingo for "appetizers" that no way in hell are any kind of a prize. But wait, there's more. Incredibly understaffed and you can tell everybody that works.there is stressed out.

So I've been a long time customer at Archie's. Today is the last day will ever be visiting that establishment again. Always been satisfied with the food and the service is always been good. Today I was in there getting the taco special and like always I asked to have my fries put in a different box. Has never been a problem. Today the owner decided to throw a shit fit because he wanted them to start charging me for the extra box.. 30 seconds later one of laporte's finest drugged up citizens comes in and begs Archie for a coffee which he gave him for free yeah I'm a paying customer that's in there at least twice a week and always tip and now they want to charge me for an extra styrofoam Sandwich box. read more

The only reason for the 4/5 stars is a mix-up with my order. I asked for a Thai Chicken Wrap but ended up with a Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich instead. Fortunately, it still sounded appealing and it turned out to be delicious.So in the end not a dealbreaker, just a small hiccup.

I tried a simple salad and was very disappointed; very ordinary and the fries were okay. I am big on good fries, occasionally and have tasted better at other local restaurants. I drive by this restaurant a lot and notice that there usually is a lot of people parked there. I notice they have a bar section that is next door and suspect more activity there. Maybe if I had tried a fish meal, it would have been better. The waitress was very pleasant. The interior is very humble, slightly rundown. They could benefit from being more creative and paint, decorate the place more. Atmosphere makes a lot of difference... The place has been here for many years

I'm glad it worked out that way because it ended up being a really nice start to the day. The place has that classic diner feel that just makes you comfortable. We sat by the window, and since it was raining outside, it made the whole breakfast even more relaxing. The staff was friendly and made us feel right at home. I ordered the French Toast Combo with two golden slices of French toast, four eggs, two sausages, and an apple juice. The breakfast was honestly perfect. The French toast had a light crispness on the outside but was soft and fluffy in the middle, soaking up the syrup. It had that buttery, cinnamon flavor that makes you want another bite. The eggs were cooked just right and paired perfectly with the toast, while the sausages were juicy, well-seasoned. Everything tasted fresh, the portions were generous, and it was exactly the kind of breakfast I was hoping for that morning. I'd definitely stop here again if I'm back in the area.
