Reviews
The place was very quaint, staff were friendly, but the wings were horrible. I'd like to go back and try other things. The wings tasted like the packaged kind with hard breading on the outside. I would not recommend them.
Tucked in a courtyard with indoor and outdoor seating this New Haven Restaurant chain has been in Branford a few years. The reviews state it is known for its wings. They were ok, but just that. On the night we arrived we were sat quickly and kindly by an attentive staff. The environment was clean and pub looking. Both tables and booths are available. There are two big flat screens showing sports. (One had the Red Sox Game one had the COPA soccer tournament, neither had the Yankees game. Either a good thing or not depending on your loyalties I guess). Along with beer we ordered appetizers including the 24-buffalo wings and warm pretzels. Honestly maybe I bought the hype about the wings and though the wings would be really good but they were very dry and tough. The sauce was very good but I got the sense they had no idea of how to prep cook and serve the order. For $25 I felt very disappointed. Maybe a bad night in the kitchen. The pretzels were good and the sauce they were served with hit the spot. They went well with the large selection of crafted beers we chose from. For dinner we had the bison burgers. They were cooked well and served with a generous portion of fries. As I mentioned the staff was attentive and polite. On a Wednesday night the place was full and the fun-commotion of a full restaurant added a nice note to dinner. Aside from the disappointment from the wings I will say that for two guests who ate 2 appetizers, two burgers and 2 beers a bill of $105 prior to the tip seems a bit of a bite (pun intended). Go enjoy, don't order the wings, and bring a wallet that matches your appetite.
Proud of myself! Been going to Archie's for year ( primarily New Haven) and this was the first time I order something different, well in addition to wings. The grilled cheese was filled with cheese. So gooey and yummy. Forgot to ask for a side of mustard, so I dipped it in the wing sauce. Yum!!! Had the cucumber Mule, I recommend stirring it first before drinking. Lol. First sip, was a nope, then I stirred it, mostly playing with it to hype me up to finish it. After the stir, it was phenomenal! So refreshing with the cucumber and the hint of ginger. Most likely will see the folks at Archie's in Branford next week. Been going weekly, not o. Purpose, but also not complaining!!
Archie Moores after work hits the spot! Can't go wrong with yummy, crispy hot wings, amazing cheese fries, and a Apizza grilled cheese. All the comfort foods and drinks too.
One of our staples. Consistent, always fast even when they're packed, amazing food, great service, great atmosphere. Cant say enough good things about this place.
