This is a very informal restaurant in the Bucktown area. The grilled oysters, especially the Florentine version, are excellent. The menu offers a wide range of seafood dishes, including combinations of multiple seafoods, and the portions are large. The wine list is tiny, and all the offerings, red and white, are priced at $22/bottle.

My wife and I had two free weekend nights at a Hilton property, so we decided to go to New Orleans. I'm originally from there but live in Houston, so this was another tourist like vacation. Acme Oyster House was a welcome surprise. We were trying to get into another restaurant that had a long wait, so we decided to try Acme. The food was perfectly cooked and tasted good. This is will be a favorite for us every time I visit home.

Oh my goodness! This is our new favorite when going to New Orleans. We always make sure to eat at Crabby Jacks in Jefferson before leaving the area. Plentiful seafood in every poboy. The food is always fresh, the staff is friendly and it is always clean!

Home of the Original Charbroiled Oyster!
Reviewed By ArkieFoodie
After reading all the negative reviews of the Poydras location (in spite of many personal recommendations from locals), we decided to go to the Metarie location instead. The service was excellent and very friendly. Of course, the reason to go is the chargrilled oysters, which my husband ordered. I am not an oyster fan, so I had a shrimp remoulade po'boy, and it was very good. I did try one of the oysters, and, indeed, they are delicious. We went early, (11:15ish) and by the time we left, the restaurant was full, so it is a popular place. The Metarie location does not take reservations.

Small place with some excellent food. Cafeteria style ordering but they do deliver the food to your table. Typical BBQ menu items found in most places. The brisket was very tender and tasty and the pulled pork was yummy. We would definitely return for some really good BBQ on our next visit to the area.

If I lived nearby I would be a regular. Super friendly staff. The food is outstanding. This day I had the Boudin Balls and Seafood Gumbo. The Boudin Balls were very good. The Seafood Gumbo is special among the best I have ever eaten.

Closed due to damage sustained in Hurricane Katrina.

My daughter and I had one of our best meals here. The char-grilled oysters were large and tasty. I wanted to try fried green tomatoes, and totally enjoyed them...this coming from someone that doesn't like tomatoes. We made reservations, which I recommend as it is smaller, and gets busy. Our waiter was awesome. He was friendly, attentive, and made great recommendations. I would definitely go back the next time I am in New Orleans.

Took my parents here for dinner, we're all from out of town. The restaurant was very busy but we still received excellent service from Errol and the whole crew. The food was great, every item was delicious. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Had a wonderful lunch at this beautiful location lakefront in New Orleans Our waiter nick was greedy we sat outside and the fans kept us cool on a mild day. Food was amazing especially the Bbq shrine which can be ordered as an appetizer even though the appetizer portion is no longer on the menu Loved the refreshing berry mojito Great spot away from the crazy tourist areas Please thank Nick and your staff for a terrific experience
