Most Disliked
While Archies Tropical Cuisines is beloved by many, there are some common concerns shared by diners. On busy nights, the wait times for tables can stretch during peak hours, especially Fridays. Some guests have noted a desire for slightly lower prices on certain items, particularly for those on a tight budget. The limited dessert options can leave sweet-toothed diners wanting more after their savory meals. Occasionally, the restaurant can get quite full, leading to a minor lack of personal space during busy lunchtimes. Despite these small hiccups, the overall satisfaction remains high as customers appreciate the delicious food and welcoming atmosphere.

First time being to Archie’s. It did not disappoint. Ordered the coconut shrimp and it’s enough to share. Delicious. Then I had the oxtails, rice and peas and greens. Man! Oxtail was on point. So tender and plentiful. Will definitely go back. Staff are very friendly.

Curry chicken was a 10/10. The place is so clean and the service was quick and friendly. Definitely going back to try the oxtails very soon.

When you walk in the door you automatically get that vibe of you just being on the islands with the atmosphere that it gives, following that comes the that sprinkle of southern hospitality that makes you feel welcomed and right at home!!! Let’s not talk about me about to dislocate my damn shoulder carrying out that monstrous plate of oxtails 🤤🤤🤤🤤 this plate was definitely made with love

Ordered Jerk Chicken to go for like $19, $21 with the ginger beer which I feel is definitely appropriate. Everything on this plate is divine and the staff was very welcoming. I'll definitely be back to try some of their other options.

Archie’s Tropical Cuisine is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warm smiles and a vibrant, tropical atmosphere that instantly set the mood. The flavors are out of this world—every dish tastes fresh, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. My favorites were, the jerk chicken and the potato salad, but honestly, everything on the menu is worth trying. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel at home, offering friendly, attentive service without ever rushing you.

Didn’t get to take a photo of my wonderful meal but it was the absolute best. Family own dining with a beautiful story behind.

I stopped in here 11/2/25 as a return customer with my husband. As a Caribbean women they never disappoint. I ordered jerk chicken dinner oxtail dinner curry goat and curry chicken dinner Only take away is the curry goat is a-little salty but everything else is phenomenal My sides was rice and peas white rice Cabbage potato salad and plantains. No disappointment I tried many Caribbean places in NC and this is one for the books of authentic Caribbean food to feed the belly.

The Jamaican jerk chicken with rice yams and truffle mac and cheese, were actually better than the chicken we ate in Jamaica. We loved the heat on the chicken, perfect level of spice for spicy food lovers and the grilled flavor was on point. We will definitely be back, loved this!
