Archie’s Tap & Table
“My party and I started by sharing the saffron shrimp; they came on top of sliced cucumber and had a pickled jalapeño on top.”
“Everything is delicious and just as wonderful as when they were Sugar & Spice.”
“He takes seriously his concept: elevating your favorites up to a new level (or few), as such the small but varied menu is unassuming and easily approachable, but utterly delicious from top to bottom.”

Truly awesome – the Bronx needs more places like this, I'm glad I found it.
The dining room is small, but it's very open so you never feel cramped. It kind of looks like a converted garage – concrete floors and walls and a garage-door style window. It was a nice day out so the door was up and tables were set out front. The decor has an industrial feel to it – silver chairs, subdued yellow booths, grey doors. There's a television over the bar which keeps the atmosphere casual.
The menu has a good variety of new American dishes; what I thought was a nice touch is the beer they serve comes from the Gun Hill Brewery right here in the Bronx.
My party and I started by sharing the saffron shrimp; they came on top of sliced cucumber and had a pickled jalapeño on top. It was super tasty – the shrimp had a crispy quality that was unexpected and the jalapeño added flavor without adding too much heat. For my main I had the pulled pork sandwich which came topped with American (or was it cheddar? It looked American so I'll go with that) cheese and onion rings on the side. The sandwich was slammin – full of flavor and very tasty; the onion rings didn't fall apart when you bit into them and were also very good.
Servers were friendly, and overall I was super impressed – I was kind of expecting the food to be average but it totally exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be back to try their other dishes – a great place to go as an alternative to your typical City Island restaurant.
Came here for brunch…got the corn beef hash and my bf got the chicken and waffles. My meal came in a small bowl. I thought it was ok, I'm used to having my corn hash grounded up and these were chopped in chunks. I think it is a bit overpriced for the quality though. The chicken and waffles were good though. Chicken wasn't too dry and waffle was tasty. This place is just ok to me…I've had better brunch elsewhere.
Came here after I saw the great reviews and it what something different from the rest of the places around. Good beer selection and the food that we had was hot and yummy. We had the Mexican corn, wings and the deviled eggs.
So, this spot used to be Sugar & Spice but they've revamped the decor and added a bar; they still have the great food I've always enjoyed. Tonight we tried the Saffron Shrimp, Mac & Cheese Side, Charred Corn Salad, Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Waffles and the Peaky Toe Crab Mac & Cheese; everything was great. We ended the meal with the Warm Bread Pudding (the pic erased from my phone) and it was slamming!
I've always liked this spot and even when they didn't offer alcohol we were able to BYOB and they provided the mixers but now they have artisinal brew on tap as well as wine. My girlfriend ordered me a Reisling that was pleasantly dry and crisp. I loved it.
The former Bronx borough president was dining a few tables away and his party was loving the eats as well. This is a true neighborhood gem and although there are many long standing businesses on the island, Archie's is a breath of fresh air that offers a taste that is different from the rest in the heart of the Bronx.
