Hear from our valued guests
We go here often, at least once or twice a month. The food is always good. We always sit in the bar area. Since we go often, we have a few favorite waitresses.
Archers "Archer Style" wings are the biggest (about twice the meat as BW3 wings), tastiest wings you will ever eat. They are garlic and parmesan perfection! Most wings lose their flavor when they make them "hot." But not Archers! They are Hot, but flavorful! Save room for their addicting Peanut Butter Pie with chunks of real peanuts. Topped with chocolate syrup & whipped cream.
We eat at Archer's most Sundays. We've never had a bad meal there. Favorites include Brandon Burger, Margherita pizza, White Chicken Chili (amazing!!), and my new favorite, dry rub chicken wings. You can't go wrong with any menu item in my opinion.
First time tonight and it did not disappoint! I had the Philly and my husband had the wings! I can see why the wings are famous! Cierra R was our waitress and she was great! Very attentive and friendly. Would definitely return!
Great food and great price! Love the family atmosphere when we eat here. It's a staple of our dining out experience.
We were from out of town and were in the Dayton area to meet someone to pick up a rescue dog. They were coming from Georgia and ended up getting a late start and hitting traffic and construction, putting them significantly behind. We had done some shopping that morning and were looking for a place to grab a lunch and watch some basketball while we passed the time. We decided on Archers as it was only a few minutes from our meeting place and had burgers, salads, and wraps. The food was good and came out in a reasonable timeframe. What really impressed me was the staff and the clientele. Brandy behind the bar was great, friendly, and immensely helpful. We then found out that there were a group of regulars that came in on Sundays. They were super welcoming and talked to us about the area, what they did, and Carl even made us a sketch. It reminded us of Cheers the way they all interacted with each other and every new person that came in and got the "Norm!!" treatment took the time to come up to us and say hi. It made a trip that was full of setbacks worth every minute of the downtime that resulted. While Kettering is/was not on my tourism bucket list, we will make a point of stopping back if traveling anywhere nearby.
Stopped for a quick lunch. Place smells amazing walking in the door. Potatoe skins were delicious. Some interesting items on the menu, like a peanut butter burger... worth a taste!
Excellent! The food was delicious & the menu has so many options. We love Archer’s! Definitely in our top restaurants! My husband had the Texas burger, I had the mushroom, onion & Swiss burger. Yum! Go try it!
Staff is excellent! Restaurant is clean! Food is terrific!
I have been in here twice now- both dine-in. Each time the service has been excellent and the staff very friendly. Even when I thought they would be justified in not being so based on how one patron was acting the first time I came. The food is good for the most part. Some can be improved like the sandwich I got "Da Club" tasted pretty basic for what I paid for. It was a large portion though. The spinach artichoke dip was great, but it is served with tortilla chips which I personally think would pair better with pita chips. Don't let these critiques put you off though. I have only been here twice and there is much more on the menu I would love to try. I do reccomend coming here. Odds are you will be seated and served very quickly and find several food items you will like and enjoy.
