Archie's Lakehouse
Aug 30, 2008 by Foodfiend from Pennsylvania
Overall Rating: 6
Food:[7] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Outdoor dining.
• Wait staff (from multiple visits), smoky interior.

“Probably one of the best is Archie's Lake house located next to the Sunset Beach Marina on Cheat Lake neat Morgantown, WV. The menu is slightly above average (if you're a vegetarian, best to go elsewhere) with a decent selection of entrees, sandwiches, salads, etc. at reasonable prices. But where this restaurant loses points (and my business) is with its wait staff. I have not been here when service was not slow and inattentive, and this is why I return only occasionally at the urging of friends. I will have to learn not to listen to these friends, because last evening's 2- hour long dining experience (not a huge multi-course meal, mind you, but sandwiches and two hard-fought-for drinks) was frustrating at best. Yes, the food was good, but the server disappeared for long periods, never being around when drink refills were needed and, worst, when my friend's meal arrived totally wrong and everyone (but she) was done eating before we were able to pin down the location of our waitress. Also, I would never go here when I couldn't be seated outside. An amber haze hangs over the interior dining area and the cigarette smoke makes it difficult to even wait inside for a few minutes to be seated at an outdoor table.”

• Fresh sea food specials. Amazing chefs.
• But it is fine dining (not cheap).

“Best place to eat in Morgantown. It has a huge deck right on the lake which is great for summer time, but it has a beautiful dining room too. Great for large parties. The menu has everything and is one of the most original in the town.”

Food:[9] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Great sandwiches, best-made espresso anywhere, great value.
• Be prepared to have to jockey for space to make order-across from WVU.

“Great window/bar seats to watch the students scurry about. Best value for sandwiches and great food at the same time. I have had espresso prepared all over the world (including the so-called capital of coffee, the Northwest) and is the only place I have been where they adjust the grind for the coffee based on atmospheric pressure. The best espresso anywhere in the world!”

Wings Ole
Sep 24, 2006 by Shannon from Kingwood, WV
Overall Rating: 1
Food:[1] • Service:[3] • Atmosphere:[2]

• Service was pretty good.
• Food was terrible, management unresponsive to complaints.

“This place was frankly awful. From the outside it looks a little upscale, calling itself a "specialty restaurant". But it's just a college burger joint. The food was terrible. They used that cheap fake bright-yellow plastic "cheese food" sauce on the nachos, instead of real quest. And the wings were small, and cold inside. A complaint emailed to the management yielded a promise to contact us regarding our concerns. We've waited 3 weeks now, but they never got back to us, or even mailed a coupon or anything to get us to give the place another try.”

• Mostly everything was great.
• Wouldn't recommend to people who dislike Asian food.

“Amazing food. Great place to take anyone who loves foreign food. Service was good and it seemed like just an all around fun place to be.”
