There are huge pancakes here and soft biscuits. Right there–mic drop. Good reason to go! (I was advised the best biscuits in Ava were here!) They have consistent good service, and they show special care toward my elderly parent who is a regular. I find their biscuits and gravy to be the best in the city: well seasoned with small pieces of sausage throughout (and a small kick of pepper after taste—mmm).
My family is huge fan of their sausage; it’s always cooked well, and they find ways to offer it up differently (see picture of sausage croissant).
Their sweet tea is wonderful because it isn’t heavy sweet too.

I just had the best burger I’ve had in a long time at this little place. I love the looks of this American Flag hanging Restaurant. The Hog Wild Burger was amazing. Very clean and comfortable place. The service was very polite. Will for sure visit again next time in town.

We were traveling through Ava and our friends knew about Archies. This place is amazing. What a hidden gem. The biscuits are huge, fluffy, and perfect. I asked for crispy bacon and it was crisp and yummy. My husband had the chicken fried steak and declared it better than Cracker Barrel. Everything was better than Cracker Barrel. Super delicious!

Great family style restaurant! Drove from Fordland to try this place out. Both my wife and I loved it! Great food at a great price point. We will definitely have to come back. Planning to pay with card? There’s a 3% additional charge, but totally worth it!

Don’t overlook this treasure! The waitress was working very hard and made sure everything was perfect. I ordered the Whole Hog Burger with fries, the burger was phenomenal and the french fries were the best I have had. They are coated with a crunchy coating I haven’t tried before. Washed it all down with a frosty ice cold root beer and grabbed a piece of carrot cake to go. I would love to come back and bring someone with me.

My mother and I were wanting a nice, quick lunch and she recommended Archie’s. The outside and inside is nice and welcoming. They have it cutely decorated with antiques and the tables and chairs are so nice and solid looking. Normally when places decorate with antiques it feels dirty, but they do a great job keeping it dust free and clean. They offer breakfast until 11 and then lunch service begins. Everyone there seemed happy. I ordered a Reuben and I asked about subbing sweet potato fries for the regular, but she was unsure how much the upcharge was. So instead I said “how about subbing for cole slaw instead since they are the same price as the fries, so that should work, right.” My mom’s side of onion rings was delicious. Perfect amount of crisp and flavor. My cole slaw was watery and eh. The Reuben had good flavor, but the bread was drenched in butter. Way to much butter. Towards the end I knew my stomach was going to hate me later. When I received the ticket, I saw I was up charged for the 2oz of gross cole slaw. When I brought it to the waitress attention she said yes, because I got something different other than fries or chips. I reminded her the cole slaw was the same price as the fries and she did not tell me there was a charge. She called her manager and the manager basically said so what. No where on the menu does it say how much the upcharges will be or if there will be one, even if the side is the same price. I understand upcharges, but they need to be clear and the customer needs to be told when they are going to happen. I educated the waitress on her communication and paid. Guess what? They charge for using a credit card! I had cash, I would have paid cash if someone had told me. Again, what? So basically all the good feels I had at the beginning were gone and I saw Archie’s as crooked. I basically feel robbed from. And I called it. I felt gross afterwards and my stomach was/is upset later. Not going back.

The food and service were both wonderful at this popular local restaurant. I went twice while helping to rescue nine dogs dumped in nearby woods.
This review is more about Google Maps, who refuse, despite photographic evidence, to change the name of this establishment to the one it has, according to the staff, operated under for at least the last year, Archie’s. Google Maps inexplicably rejected my change. If you look for Nanny Goat’s Cafe from the street, you will search in vain.
