Archie's BBQ and Burgers has long been a cornerstone of Hoover, embodying everything you’d imagine from a classic hometown barbecue joint. It’s where good food, a warm family atmosphere, and fair prices come together to create memories. While their barbecue gets plenty of love, their burgers are the hidden gem. Made fresh—not frozen—and cooked to perfection, these burgers stand toe-to-toe with the best in the South. Don’t miss out—order the Jumbo Burger, and you’ll see why it’s a local favorite!
If you’re craving an exceptional burger, make your way to Archie’s Restaurant in the heart of the city. Known for its lively ambiance and friendly service, Archie’s is a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
The highlight here is the “Archie’s Classic Burger”: a juicy, locally sourced beef patty grilled to perfection, topped with sharp cheddar, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and a slather of unique Archie’s sauce, all nestled in a soft, toasted brioche bun. Pair it with their seasoned curly fries or a hand-spun milkshake for the ultimate meal.
Archie’s Restaurant is more than just a meal; it’s a top-notch burger experience that you’ll want to relive again and again. Perfect for a casual outing, Archie’s delivers both excellent food and a welcoming atmosphere.
Archie’s Bar-B-Q & Burgers is a must-visit for barbecue lovers! The food is absolutely delicious, with smoky, tender meats and burgers packed with flavor. The variety on the menu means there’s something for everyone, from classic BBQ dishes to creative sides that perfectly complement the main course. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable, making it a great value. The staff is friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere that adds to the overall experience. Whether you’re craving a hearty meal or just want to enjoy some authentic BBQ, Archie’s never disappoints. Highly recommended!
I got the jumbo sliced sandwich. It was the best BBQ I've had east of the Mississippi River! Atmosphere was inviting and they had a real wood fire burning under their grill. Hope to go back again.
Best burgers in Birmingham. No frills. Service is good and parking can be tight. I will return. Recommend the jumbo burger. Fries was delicious!
What a great family restaurant tradition. It’s a throw back to restaurants of old where food was prepared on the grill behind the counter, and the wait staff was very friendly and helpful. Our waitress Karen has worked there 13 years and patiently answered our questions about the menu and the restaurant’s early days some 45 years ago. Note to owners- Karen is a Keeper!! What a great representative of your establishment.
The menu is simple and full of goodness with selections like BBQ pork sandwiches, hamburger steak with gravy and grilled onions, turkey slices, various plated meals and more. They also have a good selection of sides. We had the grilled hamburgers today and every bite was delicious. We all agreed the fries were some of the best we have had and the prices are extremely reasonable. The menu says everything is prepared fresh and there may be a wait. The wait was worth it and while we waited, we enjoyed looking at the memorabilia on the restaurant walls. The menu is attached in this review so you can take a look and plan your own visit.
One word of advice- if you eat too much during your visit and don’t have room for one of their handmade fried pies, get a few “to-go”. You’re welcome! They are made fresh daily and the crust is to die for! I was going to make a photo of a piece of the apple pie but once I smelled the apples and that buttery crust, I forgot and ate it! Sorry, not sorry. When you are in Hoover… or you’re just up for a drive to the city, check it out!
Great local place for bbq and burgers. Service was friendly and thorough. We were visiting the area and they were recommended. We enjoyed it
I heard this place had the best steak burgers in town. So I had to stop by.
I ended up ordering the 16 oz hamburger steak (which was the largest-Go BIG or go home) with fries, a peach and apple pie. Unbeknownst to me, the burger did not come assembled (I think it was because I requested no gravy and onions.) It came with two pieces of Texas toast on the side. I would have ordered an additional piece of toast considering the size of the burger patty.
The burger was flavorful, the Texas toast was toasted to perfection, and the peach pie filling was ok (it taste better with ice cream). The apple pie is way better. The crust of the pies are uniquely buttery. Which I liked.
Service was great and food was made to order with only a 10-13 minute wait. I would definitely eat here again.
