Food was really good and the staff was very friendly and helpful. gf items were awesome!! Cheese curds are good..
Cheese curds! Delicious chicken sandwich. I was so happy and had no reactions!
It’s so rare to find items like GF chicken tenders, cheese curds, jalapeño poppers, etc. This place is amazing! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable too. Now if only they had some GF desserts, this place would be perfect! LOL. But seriously, it’s top-notch.

The menu at Archives really emphasizes Celiac -safe options. Everything is made from scratch in-house, with breadings, spices, and fryer gluten-free.
I was able to eat haystack onions for the first time since diagnosis, and the chicken tenders were also terrific. When in Burlington, this will be my go-to restaurant!

Thank you!
Great food and good service, we tried the cheese curds, haystack onions, fried chicken sandwich, fries and patty melt. We left with three happy GF girls!
Super knowledgeable about precautions for no cross contamination- we were scoping the place out to take our son who has celiac.
Amazing food! Fried chicken tenders, cheese curds, onion straws, and jalapeño poppers are my favorites. A must whenever I'm in the area!
Fantastic atmosphere. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly servers. Great for celiacs. All fryers gf and majority of menu gf.

Archives is such a gem for anyone that has celiac disease or gluten allergy. I was able to indulge in cheese curds, onion straws, fries and a cheese burger. Staff was very knowledgeable about celiac disease and avoiding cross contamination. Almost everything is gluten free or can be made gluten free.

This place is great! All of their breading is gluten free. So many options. Great atmosphere. Family friendly. Archives has it all!

The service was great. They were extremely busy and had already run out of the Friday night fish. Anything on the menu can be gluten-free with a bread/bun substitution or omission. Everything that is battered and fried is gluten-free. I had cheese curds first. They were a little on the salty side for my taste but I rarely salt anything, so that could just be my taste. For dinner, I had Italian beef and onion straws. Both were delicious. The substitution for gluten-free Italian beef is open faced. That's fine as I just used my fork to dip bites into the aus jus. I also snuck a couple of my husband's french fries, which were also great. After I was too full for another bite, the server informed me that they had several gluten-free desserts, including brownies or key lime pie. I would have skipped the cheese curds for a slice of pie! I would come here again.

Thank you! We do partner with MOR Bakery out of Milwaukee, a completely gluten free bakery so always ask about what their seasonal dessert is!
This was exhilarating. Random little spot with great food. Jalepeno poppers and cheese curds were so good.

My only regret is they’re in Wisconsin and I’m in California. The onions strings, fried chicken and poppers are changing. Did not get sick
Owner Response
Hmmmm Archives 2 in California...has a nice ring to it! Thank you!
Always delicious! I stop in here anytime I’m in town visiting my family. I always get the chicken tenders and fries. The cheese curds are great too!
Owner Response
Thank you!
Great place! Being gluten free for 20+ years its great to have a place to eat! This place I had my first gf cheese curds. The best fried fish and chicken tenders! Love it here
Owner Response
Thank you!
Amazing gluten free !!!! We live in IL and we are coming back for sure! Our waitress Allison was so helpful! Thank you to the owners for doing this for the gluten free community!!!
Owner Response
Thank you for stopping in!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Heard about it, but never thought I would get there. Was traveling from Lake Geneva to Milwaukee with friends, and they indulged me. I couldn't decide, so I ordered the chicken tenders, onion strings, and cheese curds. Delicious! Ended up taking most of it home. Best chicken tenders I have ever had. My non-gf friends agreed. Wish they had a location closer to Milwaukee.
Owner Response
Thank you! Maybe some day we will open another one......
Amazing service! Great gluten free options and taste was amazing. Pretty much everything is homemade too
Owner Response
Thank you!
Went for dinner had the chicken strips and haystack onions. The chicken was good the haystack was so hard it came in one large piece that had to be cut to eat. They do not offer decaf coffee either.
Owner Response
We would have loved to remake those onions for you if we were asked to! Yes we do not serve decaf coffee, we hardly serve regular coffee so the expense of bringing on decaf just doesn't equate. There is a great coffee shop down the road next time you are craving some decaf!
Such amazing service l, food, and atmosphere. Had a great meal here! Our four year old was able to have the chicken tenders. We definitely will be back! Pull tabs, GF menu, and shuffleboard make this place a new favorite.

The best gluten free food I have ever had
Owner Response
WOW! Thank you!
So so good! We LOVED the jalapeño poppers. Best thing we’ve both eaten since being diagnosed.
Owner Response
Thank you!
Great food and very accommodating of my gluten free and dairy free requirements. The chicken strips are excellent!
Owner Response
Thank you!!!
Archives is the best!! They have so many gluten free options (basically most of the menu can be gf) and a lot of dairy free options too! The staff is great, and the prices are too!
Owner Response
Thank you!!!
Very tasty!! So many gluten free options and it was hard to believe it was all gluten free.
Owner Response
Isn't it?! We are surprised daily LOL Thank you for the great review!
Amazing amount of gluten free options. Fried options and burgers/sandwiches. They also are knowledgeable of dairy free (a lot of the items are dipped in buttermilk) and have mocktails.
Owner Response
Thank you!
Delicious, safe gluten free food! Dedicated fryer - all fried foods are in a gluten free batter. 90% of menu is gluten free. Gluten free buns available for sandwiches. Highly recommend.
Owner Response
Thank you!
They are awesome here. Almost everything on their menu is Gluten Free or can be modified to be GF.
Food is awesome. Bar selection is decent.
We were so excited to find a place within an hour of home that makes preparing GF food a priority. We spoke to the waitress about our celiac daughter as well as our gluten intolerant daughter. The selection of food was great because many of the options just aren’t generally GF. We had cheese curds and onion straws as well as fish fry and chicken tenders. No issues with cross contamination. We’ll definitely be back. The staff and customers were so pleasant and nice to talk to at the bar. A great evening out for dinner! Thank you for doing it right!

Great menu with so many gluten free options!!

I’ve seen and heard amazing reviews, so had to try it myself. My husband and I had the curds, and jalapeño poppers for an appetizer. The batter they use is amazing!!! Both apps were yummy. Only criticism would be the poppers being a little bland. I think bacon bits added to the cream cheese stuffing would add a nice pop of flavor. Dinner I had the fish fry, and it was good. The fish was luke warm, so nothing to write home about. The fries, and tarter sauce were yummy. Husband had the Italian beef. The GF bun was good, but the beef was quite dry. Would not order that again. We would definitely try Archives again!
Amazing GF food! We had the fried onion peels, cheese curds, and chicken sandwiches. Daughtrr has had Celiac's for 14 years and never had a GF cheese curd before....she approved! Most of the food is made in house and server was awesome! If you go on Thursday, you can play trivia too! Great pub atmosphere!

Is there a gluten-free menu?

Amazing for those with celiac! Great food and safe with options.
Eaten here 4 times now. Had the gf fish fry this time, and it was outstanding. Waitstaff is very knowledgeable, and most items on the menu are gf. Never have gotten sick.
This place is a gem! GF cheese curds and GF buns (no soy) makes for a yummy dinner! Staff was o nice too!
Breath of fresh air. Our 5 year old has celiac disease and this place has it all! Cheese curds, chicken tenders, etc. She was so happy!
Owner Response
Thank you!
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.
Sam and her Brother in law are owners and have made quite a delicious destination for a person with Celiac Disease!!! The cheese curds warm and peppery. The handcut fries perfection. The chicken tenders so juicy! A dedicated gluten free fryer! Then let's get to the large selection of gluten free and vegan ice creams that can be made into shakes. Let's not miss the boozy shakes too. All I can say is yum!

We are so happy you enjoyed everything!!!
Gluten-free fried cheese curds, jalapeño poppers, fried chicken tenders and onions. Everything was incredible, and no allergy issues!
Owner Response
Yay!!! Thank you so much for the great review!!!
Small mom and pop bar (the perfect kind) filled with friendly locals. Met the owner. She and our waitress were amazing. You can tell they really care about people who can’t have gluten. 95% of menu is gluten free - safe for celiacs gluten free. My daughter was able to have cheese curds, chicken tenders, and fries without worrying. Excellent food. Excellent atmosphere.

What a great treat to be able to have cheese curds, onion, rings, and french fries! The waitress said they have dedicated fryers for gluten-free, a separate grill area, and homemade sauces that are gluten-free.
Owner Response
Yes, all of our sauces homemade other than the Caesar dressing!! Thank you for the great review!!!
Absolutely delicious food! Gluten free cheese curds, chicken tenders and fries. Will definitely come back!
