Word had been filtering back to me that I really needed to visit this one local restaurant spot ... so at noon today I stopped in at Archie's, on Newark Road here in West Marlborough Township, just south of the London Grove crossroads. I had a terrific egg-salad sandwich, with a bottle of milk from Baily's Dairy, and enjoyed a bracing discussion about local politics with the second-generation owner, Ron Harris, who has lived in West Marlborough for 64 years and seems to know everyone. His parents opened the store some 70 years ago, and he keeps the place low-key, with a simple unlighted sign, a few tables and absolutely no desire to expand.
Ron said his customers include not only local residents but also golfers from Loch Nairn and commuters on their way to work.
If you're after a tasty breakfast or lunch, a well-reasoned opinion on a local controversy or some interesting tidbits of local history, I suggest you stop in. "Deli/Fuel/Conversation," reads his business card.
Good place to eat prior to a round of golf.
