Review of Archives Bar and Grill

Food was decent, but the service was a big miss. Burgers were the standard bar patty, albeit large enough to satiate a big appetite. The fries were stellar. Cheese curd pull apart was super salty, though it didn’t stop me from devouring it.

The service was just downright bad though. I think they got slammed when short staffed or something. But the orders came out missing items, had incorrect sides, had to ask several times for missing condiments, never were asked if we wanted refills, etc. My stepson actually had to go to the bar to ask for a refill. I finished half my burger before I ever got the ketchup that I asked for twice. The two other tables I noticed also had to go to the bar to have requests met. The two women running the show were very nice, but this place needs someone else on the floor.

It’s a haul from where we live so not sure we would make the trek back, but it’s nice to know there’s a place that has dedicated fryers. I would give them a try again if I was in the area because I feel like with the positive reviews we were just there on an off night. The weird thing is that it was like 4:30 on a Sunday and the dining area was empty aside from our table and two others, one of which was almost done when we sat down.
