I do recommend this place for their great breakfast dishes and gut busting sandwiches and I like the fact that it's not a chain restaurant like about 95% of the other eateries in Surprise. But I really do wish the breakfast cook knew how to cook an egg. I have NEVER had a medium-well egg in this place. (A med-well egg is flipped, unbroken yolk, yolk cooked to have a firm but wet-appearing center). I hate it when the egg white is runny and the only way to get an eatable egg at Archies is to order a scrambled egg or a well done egg. And my last complaint about Archies is that sometimes the waitresses can get a bit distracted which means the service suffers a bit. Don't you just hate it when they never come back for a refill on your coffee? Other than those two issues this is a good place to visit for a good (not great) breakfast.

Went for corned beef sandwich. Not a typical deli; Is a sit down restaurant without a "deli counter". I expected a corned beef sandwich cut from a warm brisket. What I got was a pile of sliced corned beef loaf heated in a micro on a decent rye with avg yellow mustard. I could have got at my nearest Safeway. At $12 which included a tiny cup of potato salad and some pickle spears, very overpriced for that type of sandwich. Guess you really have to go to east side to get a good corned beef.

Archie's isn't a particularly bad restaurant to eat in, but with the high competition in the area, there are better places. I ordered a mushroom swiss burger, which to me, is the hardest burger to make, and like many other restaurants, Archie's too failed in their attempts. The mushrooms were slimy as if they were fresh from a can, and even worse, Archie's did not even bother to sautee the mushrooms before placing it inside the burger. Furthermore, the cook does not know the difference between medium rare and well done. I sent my burger back for being overcooked, and when returned, I got another well done pattie. I'm guessing Archie's has a container full of pre-cooked patties ready to send out. At least the server and seating was clean, roomy, and comfortable.

Archie's is by far my favorite place in Surprise. Everything I've had had been so filling and perfectly delicious. Lots of vegetarian options which is hard to find in a deli! My favorite, favorite part though is the desert. All homemade, and everything (again) that I've tried has been amazing! I stop in regularly for a lemon bar and/or the red velvet cupcakes. Just thinking about them is making me crave it ugh. I'm not a meat eater, but when I see people get their meat sandwiches at other tables they are absolutely so giant and look incredible! Come with an appetite, for sure. All reasonably priced!!!! Thank you Archie's!!!
(5)Matt W.
Now that's a sandwich! That's all I have to say, but Yelp is making me write words, words, words to fill the page.

This place has been around long enough that I am ashamed I've never tried it. Now I can say I found a new lunch spot. When we first walked in, there was nobody to be found. Having never been here we werent sure wether to seat ourselves or wait to be seated. After a while we spotted the bar on the other side of the partition and decided to seat ourselves there. It was another few minutes before the bartender finally came out of the back and greeted us. She was super friendly and knew exactly how to direct new customers through the menu. She made a great first impression for the restaurant. I ordered the mushroom swiss burger and my girlfriend had a turkey sandwich of some sort. We were both impressed with our meals and enjoyed the conversation with the bartender. With the exception of our initial impression that nobody worked there, this joint is a winner. I will absolutely return.
(4)Mike R.
Great beer and epic sandwiches make this a good pick. They need a little help though I the following areas: 1. Customer service: generally they are very slow to acknowledge you and take an initial drink order. The sandwiches take just as long to make as an entrée at any standard restaurant. 2. Lame sports on TV. Women's basketball, golf, sports talk and Faux news. C'mon you can do better. Other than that the people are good, the sandwiches are amazing and they have excellent craft beer at good bar prices. Don't be discouraged from giving it a try, with a few small changes this place could be amazing!
(3)Joni S.
Walked into the bar area. Seated ourselves. There were 3 tables with people at them. Servers walked by and never made eye contact. We walked out!! Won't be returning anytime soon.
(1)Ashley C.
Super slow service and WAY overpriced. We walked in to place a quick to go order, the lady handed us menus and said the server will be right with you. After making our selection, i stood at the counter for about 6 minutes before the server came to take our order. Ran to the starbucks a few feet away while waiting, and 20 minutes later, we are still waiting for our food. Not worth the $14 for a sandwich!
(1)Lindsay H.
The staff was nice the food was not that great. But a tuna sandwich for $12 are you kidding me? My husband and I ended up sharing it but wish we didn't have to I was still hungry after. The potato salad wasn't the greatest not bad for a restaurant but I'm spoiled with mine. They also sat us at a table where it smelled like cat pee so it made eating hard to finish!! Not sure if I want to go back there again. Was really bummed since I really like deli's.
(1)Shannon W.
We love Archie's Deli. Their early bird special is great. A little smaller portions but will still fill you up. Their corned beef is always great. Love their Friday Fish Fry, only served on Fridays. Friendly staff and great food. What more could you ask for?
(5)Wayne C.
Sandwich was delicious very large. The potato salad was excellent. Great menu. As far as I'm concerned this is the best deli I found on the west side.
(5)Shari B.
I went there once for some take out. I was very disappointed in the service and the food. 4 items and 2 canned sodas took 45 minutes to bring out. I got NY deli style food. Chicken noodle soup, 2 knishes and another item. The soup wasn't terrible when it was hot but the knishes didn't look like any knish I've ever had let alone taste like one. I won't ever go back. I hope they improve their customer service as well as their food.
(1)Julie S.
This place is way too expensive. Three steak hoagies... $41.09! When I got them home there was hardly any meat inside, it was like eating a salad sandwich. It also took 40 minutes to make my to go order. The saving grace for this place is the chicken noodle soup.
(2)Chad B.
It's like our own Carnegie Deli in Surprise! Bagels and lox? Check! More pastrami on a sandwich than any one human can eat in a sitting? Check! Bialys? Knishes? Corned beef? Check, check, check! If you love a New York deli, but hate freezing your arse off, Archie's is for you!
(5)Laura F.
Tried Archie's for the first time today. Was pleased with every aspect of the deli. It has a full bar for those who wish a alcohol beverages. The food was delicious. The special was cabbage rolls which were perfect. Loved the homemade potato salad and the complimentary pickles- they even had green tomato pickles like my mom made. The staff was friendly and added the extra touches like offering take out glasses for our beverages. It has become one of the top restaurants we will enjoy in Surprise. They serve for all three meals.
(5)Jessica B.
I want to like this place so much, but the service is awful. I have to say the food is pretty good but there is no reason to wait 10 min. For drinks. I've been to archies numerous times hoping that it would change, but no. 4 women in charge of serving restaurant and I've witnessed a couple come in and wait to be seated for 3 to 4 min. And end up seating themselves. We never received our appetizer of hummus and my drink was too strong. I don't feel we were the only ones that were feeling like this. When you looked around people who had come in and been seated were still waiting like we had for drinks. I don't understand how a place with 15 tables has such a hard time. Okay, you have a bar area but that wasn't busy. There is no reason with a staff of 4 that you cannot keep up. No napkins at the table, ketchup was empty. Get on that shit. I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't go back, but I know I will. I guess I'm just disappointed. Good food, shit service.
(3)Ashely A.
First time trying this place and although the food was very good the service we received when we first walked in by the hostess was awful. It was like we were an inconvenience by being there and her actually having to work, after that in counter with her I really expected the worse however our server was great and the food was super fast coming out.
(2)Lisa G.
You gotta try this!!! Food was delicious, burgers juicy, fish was fresh and cheesecake was decadent. I watched other guests receive their food, the sandwiches are HUGE. Our server was fun and attentive. Surprised the bill was low given the quality of the meal. Seriously... Try this place.
(5)Wendy A.
My family and I love this place. We've become regulars and we are never disappointed, especially with the service. Anna and Summer are the best. Love their bagel chips and ranch. Their fish fry on Fridays is the best we've had in AZ. So far, all the food that we've had, has been great. No complaints at all.
(5)Janis N.
Service was good and Food was okay but is over priced for what you get. No interest to go back.
(3)John P.
The food here is very good and when you are looking for an alternative to the franchise chains that line the streets of Surprise, then this is an excellent choice. First off, the pickles (free to table) are amazing!!! Like some of the best I've ever had. I had a burger and it also did not disappoint. My wife had a Reuben that was one of the best I have ever tasted that wasn't in manhattan. Very attentive service and I look forward to my next visit. However, there is reason I am not giving this place 5 stars. First, it more expensive than it really should be. The sandwich was great, but it wasn't a $12 sandwich. Second, they call it a deli but it's not. It's a sit down restaurant. That being said, it's still a great place to eat and I look forward to trying their whole menu. This is the type of place you could go and never get the same thing twice.
(4)Theresa L.
I have had 20+ meals at Archie's and have loved everything! Service is a little slow but if you don't mind a wait, you won't be disappointed!!! Their breakfast is excellent! They have typical items and specialties that you cannot find everywhere! Yay! Lunch and dinner don't disappoint either! Their dessert are divine! Slices of cake are huge! Amazing bread pudding! We've been coming here for years!
(5)Crystal L.
Great place! Not even a terrible wait on a Sunday morning! Egg and onion cram me was delicious, I love their home fries. Decent service for how busy they were. We will definitely be back!
(5)Lisa M.
Worth EVERY penny!!!the food & service are amazing!! The sandwiches are perfect the pickles are perfect & the cheesecake ohhhhh my!!!
(5)David H.
It was our second time to this wonderful deli... Both times we were very happy with the taste of the food! Fries with ranch rock!!! French toast and sandwiches are excellent! Pickles come for a fine Deli touch... And we tried the other local Deli only to be disappointed that we didn't go to Archie's!!! We are Archie faithful now!!! Come and try- you will not be disappointed!
(5)Justin B.
Rude customer service , microwaved food , Owners will tell you to your face there not interested if they dont wanna accommodate your needs that day. They keep moving locations probably because they have worn down there welcome in the community everywhere they go .. 3 different locations in 5 years .
(1)Morgan B.
I had heard the name before, but never gone to Archie's until Sunday. We went for lunch on a whim. I am glad we did. The food was really good. I got a BBQ brisket sandwich on challah (no clue how to pronounce that) and my wife got the BBQ chicken on challah. The price was a little high, but we got a lot of good food for the price, so to me... It was completely worth it. I will definitely make this a regular place. Warning though... A LOT of people seem to go here on holidays. My wife and I were going to stop by yesterday for lunch (Saint Patrick's Day) and it was PACKED.
(5)Mike M.
visited them for dinner last night. ordered the brisket dinner expecting slices of a nicely roasted cut of meat. what we got of more like roast beef that fell apart, covered in an unexciting brown gravy. anywhere else where we ordered brisket we got nicely cooked brisket with firmness and juicy slices of meat. NOT HERE. The owner manager seemed to not care, this was his brisket and he has made it for 20 years. I understand that this restaurant has many favorable reviews, I can't give the brisket anything but thumbs down, would never order again here. Everyone raves about the food and I'm sure it is good or better, just order something else.
(3)Samuel S.
Faaabulous! Great food good prices huge servings wonderful service.
(4)Patricia R.
Well yesterday's plan to have Corned Beef and Cabbage hit a big problem. I went to Archie's early so we so we would not have a long wait for our table. I arrived at 3:12 P.M. and told the hostess we had a party of 15, and I knew we could not have a reservation, but wanted to get set up and told her we would start arriving at 3:30 P.M. The hostess and a waitress went back and set up our tables so we could sit down, but told us we had to wait until we had all assembled because they had a policy of not seating partial parties. Well other parties of people came in and were seated right away while we waited and waited for our tables. I looked in the front dining room and there were 4+ tables open, but not together. I looked in the back dining room and there were many tables open, but there were no tables setup together for us anymore. I looked for the hostess, spotted her coming out of the kitchen, and asked her why our tables were no longer set up? She said the owner made her take them apart and seat people in them as they came in. I approached the owner and asked him "why did you have the hostess take our tables apart" I asked in a normal conversational tone and did not use and bad language. He said we do not accept reservations. I then said "I am aware of that, but I was here waiting", the owner he then said to me "Watch how you talk to me or I will not seat you at all". I just could not believe an owner would use that tone and be so rude to a customer. I was so upset I left Archie's and several of us went to Golden Corral where we were seated pretty quickly and had a nice reasonable meal. I will never go back to Archie's and I am posting this report on Yelp. I hope you all managed to have a good meal in spite of this.
(1)Ashley M.
It's a little pricey, but definitely worth it. Got the reuben with pastrami to-go and it was delicious! The house-made pickles were amazing. I'll be going back for sure!
(5)Mamma W.
The menu is amazing but their so understaffed that you never come in a hurry. We will generally get food to go because were assured it's hot and fast. Great matzo ball and sandwiches. Kids love the desserts! Breakfast is also great just remember that it'll be slow but worth waiting for.
(4)Dauna R.
Good sandwiches. Tasty and lots of meat. Pickles that come out first are good too. Matza ball soup is yummy. Light beers $2 is a great deal. Have gone 3 times and food and service good each time.
(4)Karie T.
EXPENSIVE!!!!! This was a to go order. If this was a better place, then I wouldn't have minded the $80 that I put out. This is more of a restaurant than a deli. I got the meatloaf and it was just ok, it was supposed to come with mashed potatoes and coleslaw but they forgot the coleslaw. The mashed potatoes taste like boxed, they have a very watery taste and texture. My daughter got the salmon dinner, it was terrible, over cooked ick! The cake we got was pretty awesome and the kugel was good (I have never had one before though so don't trust me on that one!) The burger was good and the patty melt was awesome according to my other kids, and the Rocky's Boisterous Brisket was also good according to my son. So there you have it, stick with the sandwiches and stay away from the meals would be my advice, but bring your cash!
(2)Chris C.
I was on the west side for business and this place was recommended to me for lunch. I love a good Reuben and got the Brooklyn. Reuben. This was a sandwich. plenty of meat and huge. Reminded me of a good deli ssandwich. from back east. The homemade pickles were great. I wish this place was closer to where I lived I'd definitely go back. If I'm. ever over that way again I'll be stopping in.
(4)Jerry G.
Used to like this place now the prices are nuts and the pastrami was very dry the last two times I went there and at 13.95 I'll pass
(2)Troy N.
Very pricey, Price for what you get this is Surprise not Manhattan. I get a little nervous spending 13 bucks on a sandwich! Unless it's high-end location. There's another New York style deli half a block away just as good but a 1/3 less price wise.
(3)Heather F.
I went here for the first time today for lunch. There were 2 crickets that greeted me at the waiting area one dead and mushed in the crept nod one barely alive! It was dirty, the bathrooms were filthy and no changing table. I ordered a small scoop of egg salad for my 15 month old and was charged $7.00. I myself got a sandwich and a soda. All together my bill was $30.00 for 1 adult and 1 child for lunch. The food was "ok" but nothing like a north east deli which is where I'm from. I'm a fool for staying,
(1)Frank E.
This was my first visit to Archie's deli . Our server promptly greeted us with a smile and the specials of the day with service in a professional manner that you would expect of a fine dining experience. Archie's Ruben sandwich was delicious and Archie gained a new customer
(5)Mandi H.
Well...I have found my new favorite place to grab a good sandwich for lunch while here in Arizona. Friendly staff and good music as well as the lovely display cases with some mouthwatering desserts make a good first impression. While looking at the many options on the menu our server brought some tasty pickles as well as pickled tomatoes which I've never had but not bad at all. As far as food goes my husband ordered a half pastrami sandwich and I had to try a bite. Juicy, warm spiced just right pastrami was complimented with the right amount of sauerkraut and Russian dressing. I had the prime bite which had a perfect roast beef, a cream cheese spread with some caraway. Lovely addition to the overall flavor of the sandwich. Even my daughter's grilled cheese on challah bread was toasted perfectly. Big sandwiches meaning you get your bang for your buck.
(5)Brian S.
Went in for breakfast. Seating had food crumbs on it. The menu was also dirty, it made me want to leave but I was hungry enough to stay. I'm glad I did. The French toast was great. Service was very good. 1 star for cleanliness but 5 stars for the French toast. Don't know if I'll go back for awhile, I think they need some time to clean things up.
(3)Susan H.
Had a great meal. My husband had a great lean corned beef sandwich. The cabbage soup was perfect and my tongue hit the spot. My mother-in-law had a super matzah ball soup with bagel chips and I love sour pickles. Look forward to going back when we are in the neighborhood.
(4)Michelle M.
It wouldn't be fair to compare to Katz's, Carnegie or Stage deli in NYC....but for Surprise AZ, the corned beef and pastrami are pretty good. I ordered Corned beef and Pastrami at the counter to take home. Service was soooo painfully slow, and waiting for the ticket to pay was even more painful. I had to ask for Challah and half sour pickles, because I didn't see any at the counter...I was told they were in the back. Hmmmm? If you want to sell something, people have to know you have it to sell. With that being said, the meats were good. Sliced thin, very fresh and moist. Liked the pastrami better than the corned beef, but both were tasty. Coleslaw was very good, and I piled that on my challah bread, to make a sandwich. Challah was delish. Very eggy, soft and light on the inside. They sliced it for me, a bit thick, next time I will ask for it sliced thinner. Potato knish, I have to say, was good too....A little different outside than I am used to, but tasty as well. Filled with lots of onion and creamy potatoes. They also have meat and veggie knish's. My favorite, the half sour pickle. Hard to come by around here, and you have to ask for them, because they are not in the deli case. As a pickle aficionado, I can attest to this being a very good half sour! For tomorrow morning, I got a small amount of nova lox cream cheese for my bagel ( which I buy elsewhere), and gotta tell you, that is one heck of a good cream cheese. The restaurant is good sized and they have a nice shaded patio dining area too. I don't know what the old place looked like, but this place is clean, large, lots of parking and was pretty crowded at lunch time on a Tuesday afternoon. Next time I go, I'm trying the potato salad and picking up some chive cream cheese....maybe a blintz or two.
(4)Paige O.
I use to go here all the time when they were at the old location on Litchfield and Bell and the food was spectacular. Since the move, the food quality and service has gone downhill. I honestly wouldn't recommend.
(3)Cynthia C.
Woo-Hoo! We don't have to trek to Chompie's anymore thinking there wasn't another good Jewish deli in the West Valley. We went for breakfast and had the LEO (lox, eggs and onion) and the challah French toast. Both were wonderful! I couldn't resist and also ordered a side of noodle kugel. It was tasty, but I'm a kugel snob, so my expectations may be a bit high. Our server was extremely friendly, competent, and did an outstanding job. We'll be back. Probably tonight. ;)
(5)Janet S.
There were 19 of us for dinner on a Friday night and everyone got served relatively fast. The food was awesome. I had the fish fry which was a special for Friday and the fish was excellent, served with good french fries and cole slaw. The prices here are very good and they have a huge menu. Everyone ordered something different and they all looked good. I would like to go back to try things on the early bird menu which is reasonably priced.
(4)Adam L.
Went for a quick lunch and sat at the bar. Toasted turkey Sandwich overwelming tasted like butter. Also 2.50 for a club soda with no lime straight from the gun is a pet peeve of mine. On top of that I took three sips just to wash the butter taste from my mouth cause it was bad. I can have a 18 dollar lunch anywhere and I think I will try somewhere else next time I'm in surprise
(2)Serena U.
Okay, I've been to Archie's three or four times over the years. My first experience was TERRIBLE. The manager was extremely rude and obnoxious and I swore never to go back. A year or so goes by, I do go back, at someone else's urging. That manager not seen and the food is pretty good. Since Archie's opened and moved, I've been four or five times. Other than the first experience, service has been great and the food good. Chicken in a pot was really good - remember that some two years later. I had liver and onions Saturday night. It was good. My recommendation is halve the meat and potatoes and add some veggies. Still, it was good. Maybe I should go back more often than once a year or so. Service was friendly, attentive and great.
(4)Andy S.
Archies is just ok. Their food is mediocre and microwaved. I wish some more effort would be put into the food and the service is uninviting, and rude at times. It is really a hit or miss place. I do really wish for some higher quality food because New York Flavor is a very short walk away and I can better food for cheaper over there. And it is very pricey so be warned.
(3)Edward D.
Archie is now at a new location, they are located at a place that has gone through four other franchises in four years! Takes a lot of guts to make this move. I was never that impressed with them at their old location, this is why I have only been their a couple of times. But recently the wife and I had breakfast there. It was great! I had their bacon, egg, cheese , and bagel sandwich. Very good, going to have it again. Also shared the cinamon apple pancakes. I will never know why I always want to try this special pancakes when I just love the plains! But this was good anyway. ,Make sure you're hungry, lot's of food, and great dessert.
(4)Breann O.
Food was great! Fish fry and a pastrami. Delicious, fries potato salad and coleslaw yummy too. Why 3 stars? Owners of Archie's deli figure out your hours!!!! We came in a few minutes before 8pm tonight (a Friday) and as we sat down they turned off the open sign. The door and online and on yelp says the close at 10 on Fridays. We asked the server then he goes into a spiel about how usually he leaves work by 8 on Fridays. So we feel bad and rushed to hurry and leave now. As we're getting the check a couple comes in and is pissed that they are "closed" I don't blame her if you say you're closed at 10 closing two hours early isn't okay. Post a sign of new summer hours or something!!! Having worked in restaurants for way too long before I hated that last table of the night and waiting for them to leave so I could leave, so when I go out I never go to a restaurant within an hour of them closing because I hate dining with my server looming over me waiting for me to leave. So I will be back but only for a weekend lunch so I'm not being rushed out the door.
(3)Kathy H.
First of all we are so glad that you didn't go out of business, however had If i had not owned a computer and was nosey enough to search you out we would not have known where you moved too. With that said same great food, people are very friendly, prices, well, I had a HALF turkey sandwich, with the Mac salad, and hubby had pastrami with potato salad. We both had water, and the check was $20 before tip. For lunch, in this area that is still a bit pricey. We would come more often or order dessert if the prices where lower,
(3)Julie M.
Very disappointed with the open faced roast beef. No seasoning whatsoever! Service was good and the coleslaw was tasty but won't be returning.
(2)Terrie C.
Mommy/daughter day. Went for haircuts nearby and my 10 year old decided to give Jewish deli a try. While we loved the food, the service was awful. Got the early bird special of a corned beef ruben (they split it in the kitchen for us) and I asked to add a bowl of soup (the early bird menu states it is $1.95 to add soup or salad). I asked if the matzo ball soup was available for that. Ended up being charged full price ($4.50) because the server didn't "understand" me. Shared the blintzes for dessert. Yum! All the savory items needed seasoning, but in our area (many seniors) most places under salt. This was no exception. No problem, there is salt on the table. My 10 year old is now a covert to Matzo ball soup! Our server ignored us most of the time. We sat with our menus closed in front of us for over 10 minutes. Our server only had 1 other table. I paid $2.50 for an iced tea that was never refilled. When our bill turned up wrong, it took me almost 10 minutes to get her attention as she never looked over to our table. Then she ARGUED with me about it. It was my first time there and I knew more about the menu than she did! Finally she said she would pay the difference out of her own pocket. That's a nice way of saying she didn't want to get caught making a mistake. I asked for the manager. I am generally a really good tipper. I've been a server and/or server trainer for most of my life. When I got the bill, under tip I wrote, "get a different job". I would eat there again, but not with that server or I'd get my food to go.

Looks like Archie's has moved from their location near Walmart to across the street from Mountainside Fitness. The new location has a large amount of seating and looks like they can easily manage large parties of diners. My favorite part is still the pickles they offer when you get seated. Sandwiches are original, creative and well made. The prices are on the high side, but I am always going to prefer a non-chain alternative to the chains such as Jason's deli etc. On a future visit I am going to try the Macaroni Salad as a side. Fries were ok, potato salad was ok, but still looking for the amazing side dish. Definitely great to have as many non-chain owned dining options in Surprise as we can get.
(4)L. L.
Because I can go here after work, have a drinky drink, watch some game, and not have to have a conversation with the closest drunkard. Because I can go here on Sunday morning, on my bicycle (get those bike racks soon) and not have to dress up in my Sunday all get out best. Because if I want a whoopie pie, carrot cake slice, brownie, red velvet cupcake, peach cobbler, and a bowl of rice pudding for my own house party, I don't have to buy more than what I need. Because Archies is the kind of place, where you can just relax, eat, be happy and leave, and be home in a matter of minutes. It's just a great little place.
(5)Landon E.
Decent pastrami sandwich but the customer service was so blatantly bad it completely overshadowed the food. No hello from the hostess, sat down and handed a menu. No goodbye from what appeared to be the manager who made direct eye contact when I walked out the door. Server was rather rough around the edges and when trying to gauge size difference for a lunch sandwich I asked, "how big is the half sandwich?" and she replied, "about half the size of the full sandwich." I look forward to reviewing the next restaurant that leases this space because with pathetic customer service like this, the business will not last due to so much competition at this price point in the area.
(1)Chuck B.
Breakfast was fine and economical. I had the two egg special with Ham and an English muffin. Muffin was a little old dry. It was fine but not easy to wrong. Coffee was great but the creamer packs included some empties. Thought that was a miss but maybe it too early to catch empties. We've been to Archie's about 5 times at both the old and new locations. It's always been a little better than OK. We like to support local restaurants and Archie's kept us coming back. But whoa; after breakfast made a quick stop at their restrooms. Men's room was not even close to clean with tissues in shoved in all facilities and no paper towels or hand dryers and no hand soap. My partner reported an equally distressing condition in the Women's room also without hand cleaning facilities. So the huge question we have is where do their food prep folks wash up after they visit the restroom? Sadly we won't be going back.

Very disappointing experience. Ordered a SoCo Manhattan and it was served with cheap bar whiskey instead of SoCo. Bartender said they were out of SoCo so they just substituted rotgut without telling me. Our party of 4 waited a long time for our meal and then received our entrées one person at a time with about 5 minutes in between each one. Went specifically for the Friday Fish Fry. The fish was mushy and greasy and the French fries were hard as a rock. The owner was there and never once came to ask how our meal was or to thank us for coming in. We're done with Archie's.

The staff was friendly and attentive. The environment is quiet and peaceful. The food is okay, but for the price I feel I should be getting more. It's a nice place to try out, but there are better options around town.

Glad to learn you moved to a new location as your old place was pretty shabby (i.e., worn-out seating, dirty floor covering, restrooms needed attention). Now we understand why the last 3 times we ate the old place, the food was not as good as our previous visits...as you were focused on new location & hopefully a new chef/cooks. The stuffing that came w/my husband's turkey dinner was like something Gordon Ramsey finds in those nasty dirty kitchens. Even his 2 bites & my one bite that I spit out, made us both sick within an hour. But, your lox & bagel platter in the best!

A friend recently went into Archie's new location and confirmed that my opinion about the same rude-jerk owner! She asked about making arrangements to have a group lunch there. The owner interrupted her and said they are not interested in hosting groups there (and lost my friend's business).

I liked the other location better but I am glad they are still in existence. I like that this is not a chain and this is definitely the place to get a good lox and bagel.

Great food and Friendly service. New location is great and easy access. Sandwiches are huge and lots of meat. So I get the half sandwich with is more than enough. I recommend the turkey sandwich it's great. I give this place a 5 stars because it's a great value for quality food. Deserts are homemade and delicious!

Surprise never Surprises me when it comes to a nice dining experience. It is consistently below average. It took a long time to be greeted at the table. The lady server was unpleasant and gruff but seemed to take on a more pleasant attitude later on. We were served our dinner and did not see her for awhile and then she presented the bill when I was still eating my dinner. "NO RUSH!" is what she said as I had my fork to my mouth. Ugh. Fortunately for the business I did notice a young man serving tables near us and his demeanor was awesome and accommodating to the patrons he was serving. I was envious and would have paid double to be waited on by him. We rarely have time to eat out, so this is a place we will not be revisiting.

We split an talian Grinder $12.00. It was plenty for the two of us and it was delicious. French fries were delicious too. Sat outside, music was fairly loud but nice experience. Definately coming back

Yes I am a fan so far. Had a breakfast burrito here and it was really good it was bacon potato egg and cheese. The portion was filling the taste was delicious. I know it seems plain. But you can tell bacon was good quality. You had breakfast in every bite. You know what I mean you get a burrito and you don't get bacon until the end or it has two pieces of potato and all egg or even when the cheese is not evenly distributed. You so t get that with this burrito. Now I understand it is a deli so I plan on trying deli style sandwiches in future. The menu is packed of goodies I don't even know what to start with. I will not forget to tell you about the fresh baked goods the have in their display. Please take a good look at that when you visit. There is a sweet for everyone. The staff is friendly I did pick up so I did not have opportunity to dine there. One day I will let you know how that goes. There are daily lunch specials so that's nice to know. Prices are a bit higher but from what I hear it is worth it. I believe in good quality and that's what happens with good stuff. I say give Archies a chance I will be going again. Thanks Angela for introducing me to this fine establishment.

Not the best latkes but mom's Kreplach soup and rice pudding were nummy. The server forgot my clam chowder, but I didn't remember till I got home. Other diners had super sized sandwiches so I told mom we should go back, split a sandwich, and then attack the carrot cake and lemon bars in the cold case. I do want to go back to give the knishes a try. Clean and very friendly service. The food came in good time and was hot and plentiful. I will definitely return.

Great vegetarian dishes; You can't go wrong with the veg hash. They have moved and expanded. Great outside seating and nice addition with the bar, menu extension and longer hours.
