Archie Moore's Bar & Restaurant

For years, we've made it a tradition to watch the Kentucky Derby at Archie's. I always get the beer-battered fish sandwich. Archie's always had the best fried fish in the area - I've heartily recommended it. No more. The fish I had last night was the worst fish I've ever had: thick, dry, totally flavorless, with a texture more like chicken. It was served with a weird mustard sauce instead of tartar. The service was mediocre as well. I guess we'll need to find a new place.

Just in case people are wondering the process of making chicken wings is the same wherever you go. You take raw wings then deep fry them for five minutes. Then store them in the walk in. When you have an order you take the wings and deep fry them another five minutes. You can’t cook them only once. Just like French fries can’t be only cooked once to be considered French fries. Anyways, During which time the internal temp gets so high that a food borne illness would never survive. Can toxins be left over? Maybe, but that’s quite the stretch. Can a highly acidic buffalo sauce with butter in it have bacteria in it? Dunno does butter or hot sauce sitting on a counter make you sick? Probably not.

That TikTok video did get pretty popular and the guy didn’t have any viral videos before that. So take from that what you want. He said he didn’t get diarrhea and only projectile vommiting in the middle of the night. Well that video was made clearly before 5pm. So the chicken is supposed to be still in his stomach 6-8 hours after eating it? After eating only 2-3 wings? If he was so sour he must not have eaten anything for the rest of the night so by my calculations his projectile vommiting could also be considered the same as someone spitting on the sidewalk.

Got the wings here and oh my lord never again, the smell on the chicken was rancid, unfortunately I didn’t trust my gut and this is the second night I’ve been up all night throwing up.

Feel bad for this place getting hammered with bad reviews and food poisoning claims from people who never ate here because some TikTok guy tried to hurt a great restaurant’s reputation because he didn’t like wings that he ordered to go. If you’re gonna review food go inside and don’t get it to go. And if you wrote a bad review for this restaurant and never ate here you’re a loser. I have eaten here many times great place great food check it out for yourself and then write a review about it.

Overall the place is nice food is good and service is great. My issue was they have kids parties as one was going on while I was there. I think it was some sports team or something Saturday. Sucked the atmosphere right out of the place and made a lot of people mad. I know my party left early because of it. Everything about the place was great till they walked in and you could see the look in people's faces just drop or get mad.

Their wings did not smell or taste fresh at all! I’ve come across a couple people that share the same experience I had & the fact that they want to DENY it makes me question what’s happening here. Someone could get seriously sick if it’s not taken seriously
