Arguably some of the best wings in West Alabama, the Archibald’s Food Truck can often be found around the community and at several local events!

They were established in 1962 and is now being run by the third-generation! Over the years, the meat and sauce has stayed the same. Check out their Facebook page or their website to learn more.
