Archie’s Tavern

My family lives in Livonia, so when I visit- Archie's is the place that we used to visit in their old location on Plymouth Rd. Imagine my delight when I find out it has moved to this new location in the Laurel Park Mall replacing what used to be the Grand Tavern as it's much closer to my mom's house.While it's nice in the inside- sort of a sports bar feel, most of my orders these days are for take out, and they surprised me with how efficient they are with this aspect of their business. The order has been right every time I have ordered, nothing is forgotten and even the sauces and changeouts are correct. They make it easy as the food is prepared and bagged so that you can pick it up at the hostess stand, or on slower nights at the bar. I like to come early and have a drink while I wait but they are usually SO fast that I never get to finish my drink!The menu is huge so everyone in the family can get what they want- and just like the old Archies- soup or salad is included in many meals which makes this very economical. My mom loves their turkey dinner while I'm a sucker for their patty melt but no matter what I order- the food is hot, tasty and ready to go.Love that their new location is close and more upscale than their their last location, but the food is just as good as I remember it!

This was my first time eating at the new Archie's and I did not have a good first impression. My wife was there before and had fish and chips and liked them so she ordered them again. I ordered the smokehouse burger with fries. It was around 7:00 pm on December 14th, so it was busy but we were immediately seated. My wife got a cosmo, but the martini glass was only 2/3 full, maybe some of it spilled out during the delivery, but she said it was good. It took a while for the food to be delivered but her fish and chips came out hot, but not my burger. It was barely warm and must have been sitting on the dish for some time as the bottom bun was completely soaked in its juices and the fries were cold. I know it was sitting around either because of a mix up on the order or they really screwed up the timing. I asked for and got new fresh fries but should have sent everything back. It was VERY disappointing and may not go back. They must have known they messed up the order but still served my crappy meal.

Good- probably will come back. The burger was good - Swiss mushroom burger. Service was good- drinks came quickly, food was good, waiter was attentive.

This place surprised me. Basic setting when you walk in. Replacing the grand tavern. Archies seem to be a good option. Service is nice and very attentive. I went with the Mahi tacos. It came with a soup which I went with French onion. They hooked this soup up better than no other. It was very good. The Mahi tacos were a first for me and they were okay. But they were lacking something. So who I went with got a burger that came with some type of garlic sauce. She didn't want it. So I added that to my Mahi tacos and that was a GAME changers. These tacos became very good after that. I would strongly urge y'all to try it. Maybe add it to the menu. The chicken tenders were fresh & hot. Not hand battered not home made but okay. Lemon meringue pie to top of the dinner was tasty and exactly what I expected. Overall so far a good place to eat. This place is a hit. I forgot to mention. They do have sagnaki (opa! cheese). While I didn't get none. I appreciate seeing and hearing the opa! Whenever someone got some so that's a plus.

Great restaurant and even better people working there. Archie's Tavern should be your destination for high quality food and a great atmosphere. If you want to be a regular at a restaurant I would choose this one, the staff will remember you and prices are not overpriced.

Archie's Tavern is the former Grand Tavern connected to Laurel Park Mall. If you are from Livonia, you probably remember Archie's on Plymouth Road, which was a Livonia institution for family dining for many years and a favorite of senior citizens. I believe Archie's Tavern is the same ownership as the former Archie's. However, Archie's Tavern is not your grandma's Archie's. It is a typical sports bar complete with TVs, a full bar, and a few beers on tap.This was my first visit since the change in ownership and I came with a group of friends.Food Quality: 4/5 To be fair, I only ordered a simple burger and fries. The fries were hot and crispy and the burger was pretty average but about what you might expect. 1/2lb of beef and fresh produce on a toasted bun. I'm kinda a burger snob and I would suspect this was a frozen patty. Not bad, but not memorable either. My friends ordered chicken wings which were tossed in sauce. They looked pretty good. Overall, I think most people could find something they would enjoy on the menu. The fish and chips were a top seller at the former Archie's and I saw them on this menu as well. That would be what I would get next time.Service: 4/5 Our server worked at the former Archie's for over 20 years. She was polite and efficient, but still learning the new menu. I'm confident service will be consistently good here.Ambiance: 5/5 No complaints here. The interior decor is much nicer than the former Archie's. It looks like any other modern sports bar.Cleanliness: 5/5 Our table was clean and the restroom was clean during the dinner rush.Value: 2/5 The menu prices seemed a little higher than average for comparable quality food. $13.50 for a burger with fries + $7.50 for an IPA on tap. After tax and tip, you're looking at ~$27. Again, not outrageous, but most menu items seemed kinda high for what they are.Overall: I hadn't been in Laurel Park Mall in years, and after walking around, it felt like a dying mall with many vacancies and mall walkers, but few shoppers or reasons to visit. I'm curious why Archie's decided to make this move. I'm rooting for Archie's Tavern and hope they have many successful years in this location. There is a lot of competition in the area and other places like HopCat, Granite City, and BJ's that offer a larger beer selection and similar offerings. I don't want to say it, but my gut tells me they will struggle (especially with rising minimum wage and food costs) unless they can find a way to differentiate themselves and find a way to offer value.

Love what they've done with this place in a few short months. They were packed on a Wednesday at 5:30 PM. This and their staff deserve 5 stars. Unfortunately they are understaffed by a bit but their crew really is attentive and hustles. I've been here about 3 times recently and the food is subpar. The meatloaf was bland and uninteresting. The French Onion soup was the worst I've ever had. It seemed to be heated up in a microwave and not baked. Instead of a piece of bread under the cheese they threw in Croutons. The Fish from the Fish and Chips was soggy.

Food was great, service was awesome, a lot of TVs people were friendly , good music and it was fast. Recommend everyone to go

Everything was great. Nice ambiance, service was good considering I sat at the bar and the bartender had at least 4 others she was waiting on besides me plus the server's bar drinks. I ordered the fish n chips and added a bowl of french onion soup to my order for only $1 more! I can honestly say I think their fish n chips were the best I had in my entire life and I order fish n chips frequently literally everywhere lol. They were hot fresh out of the grease, fries were also hot and fresh out of the grease. Also, nice big portion. I think a full grown man wouldn't finish that whole plate. The French onion was good but not the best I ever had. It tasted a tad salty in my honest opinion. I'd def come back. Also thought for the portion, the food was very reasonably priced.

I have eaten here many times and it's always delicious! Tried the new rattlesnake pasta which was pretty good. Everyone is friendly and Michael always checks on you to make sure everything is toYour liking,which is something more owners need to do! Great job all around!
