Small servings. Ribs were tough. Did not like the sauce. Staff was nice. Needs to improve product. You are what you eat. Make it great!
I'm glad, however, that other people have received good service and served a quality meal. However, I seemed to have gotten the bottom-of-the-barrel food and a owner/manager/supervisor who's had a bad day.
Now you could argue that it was a Sunday on a quiet afternoon and the food had been sitting a bit, but what really got to me was how the owner/manager/supervisor almost seemed annoyed that I walked in. I didn't even know he worked there until I heard someone mumble something and I looked over to see this guy in an Archers BBQ shirt. Dragged himself to the back to prep the food while another worker took my order. Once I finished my food, he was back at burying his face into his phone.
Went in on a Sunday before dinnertime. Ordered Big Boy Platter with 1/3 rack of ribs to get a sample of their BBQ.
Very tender BBQ
Mac and Cheese was good, but the creamed corn was also lukewarm. And half of the corn seemed to be corn kernel husks rather than a full kernel.
When i cant find time to spend 8 or 10 hours smoking some meat Archers hits the bulls eye with tender hickory smoked ribs and pulled pork and chicken that need no help from sauce. Sides are fantastic, and the with the variety of sauces you can travel all the way from Carolina to Kansas city with moonshine and holy jalapeno in between... did I mention the Brisket on fridays... another great reason to look forward to the weekend!
TL;DR: Pretty good food. Would be even better if hot. Same with the service. Service was colder than the food.
This location was easy off, on from Hwy.
As impressive as our first! We'll be back when traveling through
Our second visit...
As for the BBQ sauces, it seemed watered down for some reason. I could barely taste the Original, and the Kansas City and Holy Jalapeno had no kick to it at all.
This place is a top-10 the people are super friendly the barbecue and all the sides are just awesome you can't go wrong by eating here so let er Rip Tater chip.
The pork and chicken was quite good. Soft and tender, but very lukewarm. Same with the ribs. The meat on the rib did pull apart decently well, but cutting into it to separate the bones sounded like cutting into a vegetable on a chopping block. It doesn't want to cut, then straight to the table.
