Acme is not a place to have a relaxing meal. It is loud and basic. The food is good-typical seafood and some creole dishes. We had my adult nephew with us and I wished we had taken him somewhere nicer. We would not go back. more

I was looking to try chargrilled oysters, and found this restaurant on a list from the people running a convention my husband was attending. It was close so we tried it.

It's amazing what you can do with some butter and cheese. I am not an oyster lover, but WOW were their char-grilled oysters great. Terrific po-boys too (try the 'peacemaker' - half shrimp, half oysters - big enough to share if you also want to split a dozen of the char-grilled oysters). more

We wanted some place not overwhelmingly touristy with all of the cajun/creole standbys you come to New Orleans for and that's exactly what we got at Acme. Excellent gumbo, po'boys, and oysters. We liked it so much we stopped at their place in the airport for one more taste before we went home! more

Our third visit here in as many years. At 2 PM there was no line at all, so we were seated and served quickly. We ordered raw oysters, fried crab fingers and fried shrimp. All delicious. The cocktail sauce is guaranteed to cure what ails ya! Good service, too. more

awesome!
