Unbelievably amazing gluten free food items, great drinks, and fun vibes. A gem of a local spot!!

We went there on a Friday night for fish fry for the first time and got there about 6:15. We were told it would be a 45 minute wait - no problem at all! We stood outside and waited - it was a beautiful night! We ended up waiting one hour and 15 minutes until 7:30 before learning that they were taking a table of 2 who had only been waiting for 20-30 minutes and had arrived after us. We also heard them tell this couple that they would be the last table that would be able to order fish. Not sure why this couple were seated before us, and not sure why we received no updates during our one hour and fifteen minute wait. We left. Not going back.

Forget Number One
Given this place at least five tries and always have a negative experience unfortunately. Long wait times, usually an hour plus, for food. Long wait for drinks, sometimes ten to fifteen minutes. Some servers have been friendly, others pretty hostile. Not really sure what the issue is but its a shame because they do have a good menu and atmosphere. Just really not worth the hassle.

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. My friend and I came in after the lunch rush, hoping to grab a quick burger and some wings while we waited for jewelry to be repaired. From the moment we walked in, the service was lackluster. The waitress barely acknowledged us, didn’t make eye contact, and after a while, reluctantly asked if we had been helped.
We were told no tables were available, but I pointed out one that we had passed on our way in. After being seated, we waited nearly 40 minutes before checking in about our food. At that point, we were told it would be "a little bit longer" but never received any updates or apologies for the delay.
Throughout the experience, the waitstaff didn’t seem to care at all. Our drinks were never refilled, and when we inquired about the food, the response was essentially, "What do you expect? We’re busy." It felt like we were a burden, and we were never offered any kind of explanation or apology.
After waiting some more without any food, we decided to pay for our drinks and leave. One of the patrons at the bar actually apologized on behalf of the restaurant, which was nice, but it didn’t make up for the poor service.
I understand places get busy, but a little courtesy and respect go a long way, and this place completely missed the mark.

If we're in the Burlington area we always stop at The Archives for lunch. Can't beat their Jalapenos poppers or hand breaded cheese curds to start, ribeye steak sandwich or Italian beef sandwich are sure to please.Tara takes care of business and mixes a mean old fashioned, love this place, they take pub food to the next level.
Frequent this awesome bar/restaurant for Thursday night trivia and its always a great time. The staff is friendly and the food and drinks are always good.
I order from here almost weekly. The absolute best homemade ranch around and the wings amazing. Fried chicken sandwich and Italian beef are also some favorites in my house !

Wanted to check this place out and play a little trivia. They use a special batter on their cheese curds, chicken sandwiches and other items that adds delicious crispness, and those curds had quite the cheese pull. Our group enjoyed chicken sandwiches, chili, BLT, and a spectacular burger of the month with a touch of spicy. Our cocktails included blackberry old fashioned and a spicy, refreshing variation of a margarita. The bonus was that we won the trivia game. The game host was fun and moved through the game with bonus questions quickly. We will definitely be back again.
