Archie's Bar-B-Q & Burgers

Small town hamburger joint vibe. I really enjoyed the 1/4 lb. Cheeseburger, fries and coke. (Fries were crispy & hot. First time in a while I have finished a whole order.) Husband enjoyed the barbecue, beans, and slaw. Fried Apple Pie is awesome. Service was top notch, very attentive. It was super crowded when we went but we got seated quickly.

What a great family restaurant tradition. It’s a throw back to restaurants of old where food was prepared on the grill behind the counter, and the wait staff was very friendly and helpful. Our waitress Karen has worked there 13 years and patiently answered our questions about the menu and the restaurant’s early days some 45 years ago. Note to owners- Karen is a Keeper!! What a great representative of your establishment. The menu is simple and full of goodness with selections like BBQ pork sandwiches, hamburger steak with gravy and grilled onions, turkey slices, various plated meals and more. They also have a good selection of sides. We had the grilled hamburgers today and every bite was delicious.

My aunt and I were traveling and stopped in Hoover to avoid rush hour traffic when we accidentally discovered this delightful lunch. The smell from across the street is what grabbed our attention.

Kaitlyn was our service and she was excellent. I was also impressed with the owners involvement in the operation of the business including greeting tables and running the cash register. That is rare these days. We tried the chopped pork sandwich, cheeseburger, fries, a sample of the sweet and sour slaw, and both Peach and apple fried pies with ice cream. Everything was served quickly and tasted delicious. The homeade suace was also very good. My favorite was the fried pies, but I am partial to desserts. I highly reccomend and wish I lived closer to eat here more often. I only have pictures of the fried pies ...
