The food is AMAZING but the restaurant itself is still under construction after nearly a year of not longer with no visible signs of progress. They don’t have tea (sweet or un) only bottled water & cans of soda. I’m sure this is due to having to work out of the food truck that sits in front of the restaurant. They also have port-o-potties for folks to use if need be.

Very good and staff was super in explaining what they offered. This dog/BBQ combo was great but special is just for August. The jalapeño pimento cheese was excellent.

Where to begin…the food here is just amazing it has the smoky taste a BBQ is supposed to have and the price for the amount of food you get Is more than fair the gentlemen behind the counter make you feel right at home whenever I come to town from Michigan I refuse to eat anywhere else between the customer service and the food this place has just gained a customer for as long as the doors are open keep up the great work

I read the other reviews and decided it was time to try Archers. It wasn’t just good, it was fantastic. We both had ribs. Me with slaw and Mac. She had sweet tatoe chips and greens. All the sides were as outstanding as the meat . The place was clean and quiet. The employees like old friends. A great meal. Try this out.

We called to place an order since the online system was down. It was a $130 order and the man taking the order acted like I was an inconvenience to him. I’m not sure why it was a problem but he was huffing and puffing when taking the order. I never said anything because I wasn’t 100% sure what was going on. My husband then goes to pick it up and the guy and woman working there were BOTH rude and acted like we were an inconvenience. Little did they know that we were feeding our family since my mother in law had a massive heart attack Friday. That’s why the order was so big. We had a lot of people to feed. I can’t believe anyone would even consider being rude to someone paying that kind of money. We will most likely never go back.

Meat was cold and reheated in a microwave. Didn’t realize I was paying $30 for leftovers. Texas toast? More like a slice of white bread lightly toasted.

The BBQ is amazing I only gave the atmosphere 3 stars because they haven’t gotten their restaurant open and are still working out of the food truck, but other then that it’s awesome!
