This place is ALWAYS crowded regardless of the time you go. It's also always dirty. They try their best and it's not the wait staff's fault just the magnitude of the amount of people that come through the doors. We had the wings (buffalo) and they were dry and overcooked. Because we waited so long for our food we chose not to send back. You go to watch the games and to people watch but be prepared to wait and deal with crowds.

"Baby, what a big surprise Right before my very eyes" (Chicago) Talk about a big surprise. It seems that I've known about Archie Moore's chain of CT restaurants since I moved here in 1987. But what I didn't know until yesterday is that the restaurants are NOT named after Archie Moore the famous boxer! I was researching the boxer to slip a few biographical nuggets into my review but came up empty on finding his expected links to Connecticut. That also explains why there is nothing on the walls or on the menu of Archie Moore's Restaurant about THAT particular Archie Moore. The Archie Moore that's the namesake of the restaurants bearing his name was an Irish immigrant named Archibald Moore. He put down roots in New Haven and opened a saloon there in 1898. Today there are FIVE Archie Moore's across the state, serving up their famous chicken wings and more. Their website says they have served up over 15 million wings, so if you went to a Super Bowl party last month, you may have gobbled down a few. Three of us stopped in for lunch yesterday an skipped the wings in favor of a a Foot Long Hot Dog Platter with Fries ($11.99), a Turkey BLT with Fries ($15.99), and a Fresh Garden Salad ($9.99) with added Grilled Chicken ($4.99). My brother-in-law's hot dog platter looked great, and he must have loved it, because there was nary a crumb left on his plate. My wife's Turkey BLT was a pretty generous sandwich stacked high with T, B, L, & T. I mooched a few fries and they were excellent. My Salad was amazing, not so much the salad itself, but the added Grilled Chicken was amazing. That $4.99 upcharge yielded four huge pieces that took up the floorspace of an entire plate. Between the salad and the TBLT, we had plenty of leftovers to polish off for dinner that evening. Shout out to our smiling and very personable server Kat who was very efficient and did a great job.

Ordered wings for pickup for a playoff game and am so happy I did. The wings were absolutely delicious and for a decent price. Just waiting for the wings in the bar made me want to stick around and have a pint. Will definitely be coming back!

We had a great time. Great food and great company. My first time. Karen our server was fun and very accurate with our order. Our questions and requests were simply handled. She had a great attitude on a busy night. Loved the wings and buffalo calimari. I recommend for a relaxing night of good sports, good food and good booze.Dietary restrictions: We shared our concerns and they handled it without question.

I always get a craving for Archie's every time I visit home. I grew up at the Milford location and have eaten almost everything they offer as well as picking up wings every Super Bowl I'm in town for. When you want the classic cold beer with hot buffalo wings there is no better place!
