The best shrimp and grits I’ve ever had coupled with the best blackened scallops as well. Our waitress, Rachel, was an absolute gem as well. Compliments to the chef and compliments to the staff for making a celebratory night with my family special. Cheers to...a great establishment!More

When we vacation at Isle of Palms, this is by far, our favorite restaurant. We usually visit 3-4 times a week while we are in town. The food is fresh and delicious, and there are daily specials. We try something different every time we go...but I usually always get a side of their creamy grits. Great atmosphere.More

I Googled places to eat and Acme was at the top of the list. Being solo I sat at the bar and was promptly and warmly greeted by Byron. I ordered the lightly breaded shrimp which tasted fresh & delicious! I wish they would have...served some of the dinner menus items. I eat my biggest meal at lunchtime and his suggestions/descriptions sounded more like what I was looking for! Other than that it was an enjoyable experience and I will definitely be returning! I met the manager on the way out. I gave him my suggestion while complimenting on food and service. He said it would be hard to prep and serve dinner items for lunch. Point taken! How about featuring a dinner item as a Lunch Special? Either way you’ll leave Satisfied! Plenty of Free parking!More

My wife and I came to visit from the upstate of SC and we dined here as soon as we arrived. We didn’t have reservations and it was slammed but they had a spot for us right away! Our Server was Mytch and he was...the absolute best! We told him it was our 12 year anniversary tomorrow and we were excited to get away. He went out of his way to get us 2 glasses of champagne! This meant the world to my wife and I. We ordered the shrimp and cornbread for our appetizer, and shrimp and grits as well a as light house for our entrees! Bam!! It was absolutely delicious!!! 10 out of 10 stars! We had a little chaos back home with her kids and our babysitter right during dinner and the phone calles kept coming in and Mytch saw that it was a bummer for us and brought us a chocolate chip dessert to go ! Man I can’t say enough about how Kind and Epic it was that Mytch did that! Best Server Ever! Thank you again and again! We also met Byron the manager and we told him we will be back hopefully next week when we visit Edisto for thanksgiving. He gave us his card to personally call him if we needed anything at all ! This restaurant is the Peak of customer service and quality food. If you are foodies like us and want a great low county meal with friendly quality people Acme is your place. 10Stars! We are life long customers now when we visit! We Hope to try the breakfast too this weekend. Cheers Friends! This place Rocks! Thank you all again! -Joel & Sarah Moss-More

To us, the food and drinks were good, but the restaurant seemed to get by with the "Lowcountry Kitchen" concept--which could be cleaner, better repaired, and more tidy. The shrimp-and-grits was good, Champagne Paloma was delightful, and the key-lime french toast was interesting but extremely...sweet. I'm rating this a scant 4, It would have been better if the staff would've acted as though they wanted to be there, and interacted as though they wanted to have you as a customer. More smiles, please.More

Our server Travis made good suggestions. Our food was delicious and plentiful. The shrimp and grits were GREAT. And it’s a beach resort place - meaning you can dress comfortably.

We came not too hungry so didn't order much. She Crab soup was okay. The chicken and short ribs, collard green, and truffle Mac was very good and fresh. We felt like we were taken very good care of by our server Travis, he was...funny. We really enjoyed the Island Mimosa. Would love to get this recipe. Will definitely come back and recommend.More
