Best BBQ I've ever had--seriously. The meat was tender, smoky, and full of flavor, and every bite was incredible. If you're in Chattanooga, this place is absolutely worth it read more

Ordered dinner for take out and it was ready when they said it would be! Everything was labeled so distributing meals was super easy!! Easily one of the BEST brisket sandwiches I have ever had, ordered the Kev-Kev for myself. Looking forward to going again when we're in Deep Creek next. read more

Tried this place about 7 years ago. Terrible dry ribs. Nothing was remotely good. Par for the course in this tourist town. No Restaurants here try to be good because there's no competition and plenty of tourists. Heard they got bought and figured maybe it's better. Nope. Brisket had no smoke, no flavor. Tasted like roast beef. Looks like it too. Ribs had no smoke. Sauce not cooked in. Wings were okay. It's Sad that as a backyard griller i can easily outcook this place. Very sad. Do better. read more

I was quite hungry and desperately needed some food. Archie's was a beacon on the road. I was grateful, they were open past 8pm. I went through the drive thru and enjoyed a much needed meal. They have an extensive menu of BBQ but I settled for a hot dog. It was perfect for what I needed. The service was very friendly and efficient. Hopefully next time I'm in the area, I can enjoy more of the menu and the dining room. read more

Archie's Barbeque - Barbeque Near Me - McHenry, Maryland

food was above average, Archie's is always above average, the wings could have used a bit more sauce, it was also kinda dry. But the Service?!? It was not good, they were confused and i get it, a group of 10 people can be hard, BUT BLAMING US? Thats not okay. Otherwise food is good, ambiance is good, right next to a roadside ice cream place, and service is bad with a group larger than 6. read more

OH BOY.... I'm pretty sure we just spent over $100 on brisket lunch meat. It's a bummer because we were so excited after seeing the photos online. Chicken was not good, brisket not good, wings not good but, fries were ok. Very expensive for the terrible food. read more

2/5 Loved the convenience of the drive-thru and the staff was super friendly -- definitely a plus. Unfortunately, the food just didn't hit the mark. It lacked flavor and honestly reminded me of Arby's, but at a much higher price. For what we paid, we expected way more. Wouldn't come back, but appreciate the service. read more

If you're in the mood for some amazing BBQ, then try Archie's!! Best BBQ and wings we've ever had! The portions are huge, leaving plenty for sandwiches the next day. It's not a fancy place, however there's plenty of seating, very clean and the staff were extremely friendly!! A++ read more

Absolutely loved our visit to Archie's BBQ! The place was spotless, and every staff member--from the servers to the food takers--was genuinely kind and welcoming. I ordered the sliced brisket platter with two specials of the day: homemade potato salad and stuffed tater tots. The brisket was tender and full of flavor, and those tots were a fun, cheesy surprise--but the homemade potato salad was my absolute favorite. So fresh and perfectly seasoned! I'll definitely be coming back for more. read more

This was a total scam. Their brisket - if you told me they were running over to Arby's and buying roast beef sandwiches and taking the meat out and putting on their brisket plates-- I wouldn't be shocked. I couldn't tell the difference. Get their chopped/wet brisket and you have no ides what is on your plate- it's gross I truly believe these people are scammers. The prey on tourist who come in with no idea how awful this is and they never come back- so what..,, they get your $20 per plate My group of 6 paid almost $200 for food that we left on the table or took back to our teenage wolfs to eat-- those boys ate it because we didn't call it brisket. I want to be today fair- their smoky Mac and cheese was good. read more

Always excellent food and service. Nice staff, greeted at the door. Archie hot dog with pork.. yum. read more

We had a great meal from Archie's tonight! Their portions are generous.. we even have leftovers. My husband had ribs and garlic parm wings, and I had the chopped brisket. Everything was delicious. We used the drive through and our order was 100% accurate. Our food was delivered to us quickly. The staff was friendly. I would definitely recommend Archie's to others looking for great BBQ. read more

Had been wanting to try this place. We ordered the Sampler (Brisket, Pulled Pork & Ribs) PLUS a 1/2 chicken, fries & slaw. The "Brisket" was not real Brisket, it was thin sliced deli beef (as a previous reviewer stated). The Chicken had NO scent of smoke or bar-b-que and smelled and tasted like rotisserie chicken. The ribs were ok and the pulled pork was ok, but not worth the very HIGH price we paid for these items. We were very disappointed. read more

This is by far the best restaurant that we tried while we were visiting Deep Creek. We had ARCHIE'S PIGGY PLATE. We picked BRISKET and PULLED CHICKEN as meat and cornbread. My kids had hot dogs. I loved the sauce and loved cornbread even though I am not a huge fan of cornbread. Also, the meat was so soft and tender. I highly recommend this place. read more

We had a positive experience here as a party of 9. We had our choice of indoor or outdoor bench seating. There are no chairs with backs. We got a variety of food and everyone loved it. While the prices are steep, you will NOT leave hungry no matter what you order. Ghost pepper bbq pulled chicken Pittsburgh sandwich was awesome! The fries were excellent. Hot and crispy on the outside. The Mac and cheese didn't taste very Smokey. The service was better than I expected going in. They have a non-traditional ordering process where you order at a counter and take a number to your seat of choice. A waitress will then bring your food to you. Our food was ready in less than 10 minutes!! read more

Fantastic cornbread meal with great service (if not a bit overbearing) but a cool spot with good food.

We stopped into Archie's looking for some quick food on our first night in town. The staff were friendly and the food was excellent. Our favorites were the pulled pork and smoked Mac. But they also had dessert specials which were SO good. Great find! read more

Delicious BBQ. Loved every bite. Wonderful service. Dog friendly tables on the patio.

From the food to the environment (and service). Archie's is overall amazing. My family and I have been coming to them since before the pandemic. Nearly every year, we stop by Archie's to grab some food before headed home. They are wonderful EVERY time. Not once has my family nor I had a problem dining here for a quick lunch. read more

The service was okay overall and the portions were okay for the price. Around 50 dollars for this plate is not very good especially when the pork comes out ice cold. Had to send it back and the cook was very hesitant and had an attitude and they just threw it on a flat top to warm it up. The cornbread is cold.We were the only ones in the entire restaurant so it was evident that the food was not cooked fresh and was just sitting in a warmer. read more

Archie's Barbeque - Archie 's Piggy Plate - Barbeque Near Me - McHenry, Maryland

I'm completely aware that 4th of July weekend is busy. We ordered carry out for 10 people. I expected a long wait but after a while noticed folks after us in line were taken care of before we were. After an hour went by we inquired ab our order. It was forgotten and the explanation was "we're slammed". After finally getting our food without apologies we went home to chow down. Bbq was mediocre. No smoke flavor from the brisket. I'm definitely not going back to Archie's. Wasn't impressed. read more

Don't order from here...I ordered ahead they said 1/2 hour for pickup and it's now been over an hoursince arrival and still no food.

Meats were terrible. Fries were the best part.... $16 for a "brisket" sandwhich. Unseasoned, no flavor, need to DROWN in sub par bbq sauce to even get down. Stay away. Go to arbys and get a roast beef sandwhich instead. Same quality for a quarter of the price. read more

I wasn't able to take any photos as I didn't have my phone with me. The service was good, we were one of about three people in the restaurant at the time. It was that word time between lunch and dinner on a Saturday afternoon. The food was ready in about 2-3 minutes. I ordered a 1/2 of ribs, chopped brisket, smoke Mac and cheese, and the bbq beans. The bbq was VERY disappointing at best. The ribs were obviously reheated and lukewarm in the middle with little to no flavor and very fatty and drenched in sauce. Really not what I was expecting from Award-Winning Ribs. The chopped brisket was very bland with no flavor and again drowned in sauce. The sides were pretty good as the smoked Mac and cheese wasn't dry, however, it wasn't smoked either. The bbq baked beans were really good and the only thing I really ate. I was very disappointed and when asked by the staff I was respectfully honest about it. The inside is spacious and very unique with its decoration. The quality control should really be looked at as well as the service practices. read more

I'm not sure how to rate this one. The food was good and quick. We ordered and had our food to the table in minutes. Like a lot of BBQ joints you have to order everything separately. Which always seems to make the cost high; but this one was really expensive. We ordered 12 wings, 1 hot dog, a sandwich, 3 sides and 4 drinks ... around $80 (including tip). read more

Good food, nice staff. Fast service. We always go here when we are on vacation in Deep Creek. Enjoyed the peanut butter pie.

We were headed back home to Ohio and noticed Archie's. We were going to leave because the ordering process was a bit strange, but decided to stay. We ordered wings, brisket sandwich, pulled chicken sandwich and a chicken breast. When we received our order, the bag was heavy. The brisket and pulled chicken were HUGE! There was so much meat on them. The wings were larger than most and the chicken breast was moist and flavorful. Will definitely return! read more

We stopped in for a quick lunch during a road trip. Ordered at the counter. Food was at our table right after we got our drinks. Pork sandwich was a very generous portion of meat and I liked the barbecue sauce on top. Ribs were excellent. The portions were very good for the price paid. Overall, fast and good barbecue food. Great for a family. read more

Great food friendly people. You must get the pulled pork sandwich. Great vibe aswell. Must stop by.

Had Archie's during my weekend stay at Deep Creek. My fatass got the Archie's Sampler, half rack ribs, and Archie dog. The ribs by far was my favorite. Very tender, great bite, highly recommend. Brisket was thinly sliced, which confused me, but was not mad about it. The Archie dog didn't really stick out to me, as it was just a basic hotdog with pulled pork stacked on top of it, which leads me to my next point; pulled pork. This was the worst pulled pork I ever had. It was extremely sweet. Others may like it this sweet, but it's not it for me. After 2 or 3 bites, I couldn't have any more. I scraped it all off my Archie dog and ate it as a normal hotdog. I would come back for the ribs, maybe the brisket. Pass on the pull pork. read more

Amazing food and portions are great for the price. My favorite food at the lake. This is a local family owned business and you can tell they care about a customer's experience. BBQ is always a letdown now when I try other restaurants. read more

archie's is a go to every trip to deep creek. food is always good , fast, and not excessively expensive! read more

We stopped by on our way back home. Right now it's drive-through only to stay safe with COVID-19 restrictions and safety precautions. Menus are on the side, or they will offer one to you when you drive by their window. We got an order of their smoked Mac and cheese, cornbread, pulled pork sandwich, beef brisket sandwich, and a rack of ribs to-go. The sandwiches were fresh, and they don't skimp out on giving you a lot meat! Their sauces on the side were delicious. I tried some of their homemade ghost pepper sauce that adds just a little kick of spice. Mac and cheese and corn bread were amazing! They taste homemade and something grandma would make for you during the holidays. Try this place out on your way to your place in deep creek or on the way back. read more

Loved the food here! Beef brisket was sliced very thinly and evenly, and was delicious with their BBQ sauce, which was sweet and not too peppery. The baby back ribs were "fall of the bone" soft -- it was moist and very meaty. The chicken wings had nicely smoked flavor and pieces were medium in size. I would definitely eat here again! Afternoon parking and getting an outdoor table was easy on a Sunday afternoon. I don't think the indoor seating was open. Drive-thru was available. read more

Solid bbq joint. Nothing bad on the menu and reasonable portions for the price. Not going to blow your socks off. Compared to a bunch of other gimmicky places in this town, I really like it and its one of the few my family returns to without complaint whenever we visit Deep Creek Lake. read more

The service was great. The ambiance was casual. The we had the Sampler (pulled pork, BBQ ribs and brisket) and corn bread and slaw. The meat was tasteless and the presentation was awful. The slaw and corn bread were ok. read more

Slightly $$$ but worth it, tender fingering licking good food, a must stop in !!! Plenty of space & outdoor seating.

Really tasty BBQ that was easy to order with their convenient drive thru. They were happy to accomodate our order despite our procrastination being a little after 8:30 PM on a Monday. The tasty half-rack of ribs and brisket made for an excellent meal in our cabin. Loved the cornbread too. A great Deep Creek food option! read more
