We got lucky to get seated right away because we've seen lines to enter before. The obvious is oysters but they have other selections, shrimp and alligator was delicious. Staff was friendly and helpful.

I have one option for you: charred oysters!!! They were out of this world. Everything else that I ordered, was mediocre. Including shrimp jambalaya, fried shrimp, bread pudding and chicken gumbo. Need to mentions great customer service, on point, heartfelt, sweet. Amazing staff!

Acme is a true New Orleans institution that’s been around since 1910. If you can only order one thing, make it the chargrilled oysters. They’re sooo good. Meaty gulf oysters, grilled to perfection with an aromatic, buttery sauce that’s perfect for soaking up with the...Read More

What a great experience! We tried their famous charbroiled oysters and they didn’t disappoint. A great atmosphere with great service. We went during the week so we had no wait time, however, there was a line out the door during the weekend.

Everything as always delicious. Waiter was very friendly. Char broil oysters with topping of crab meat was outstanding. We also ordered Gumbo must say not so much flavor didn't care for it. Other than that great place to have a meal!
