"For lunch, both burger options deliver a delightful explosion of flavors and offer generous portions for the price. I won't comment extensively on dinner just yet, except to say that the cornbread is fantastic; it’s a new addition to the menu and I haven't had the chance to try many other dishes.
I've visited Archie's quite a bit lately since my office is nearby, and the visually appealing meals being served to others always tempt me to return and sample something new.
A note on the atmosphere: the space is on the smaller side and can get quite loud when busy, which may be a consideration for diners who prefer a quieter environment. The seating includes a mix of high tables and standard tables. Both types suit the dining experience, but the high-top chairs can feel a bit rigid and narrow, so keep that in mind.
Archie's is a decent place for younger diners, although maneuvering a stroller could be challenging.
For those planning to visit, parking can be tricky around Archie's. There are several metered spots, but they mainly require backing in, which might not be practical for larger vehicles due to the narrow road. Depending on the season and your walking ability, there are good options for parking nearby and walking to the restaurant.
In summary: Archie's serves some of the best food in town. If you're in Traverse City, it’s worth a visit. And if you're a local, make sure to go as soon as possible to support this excellent establishment!"
