Acme Oyster House

Fantastic, easy going location. Line might take a minute but worth the short wait. I was in line for maybe 20-25 minutes on a Saturday night around 7.30pm. Sat at the counter and whilst service is definitely a little more casual (the team are opening oysters at the same time as making sure you get what you need), the food is fantastic. Hope I get the opportunity to come back around and try more some time.

The joy of travel starts with food. If you eat here, I can say that your trip to New Orleans will be a memorable one. The oysters were not bad and the other dishes were great. The only thing was that it was a little salty. However, it is a place I want to go back to. Especially the server, Helen, your cool kindness made me smile. Because of this restaurant and Helen, New Orleans will be a wonderful place for me.

I really liked this place. Totally understandable why there's a line-up. The oysters and the fried shrimp were really good and fresh. Probably a smart bet to visit this place to get your fried seafood and oyster fix. Unfortunately, when we went the fried crawfish was not in season. I would love to come back and try this item.

This was our second time at Acme and we absolutely love this place. The oysters are some of the best we have had and all the food is delicious. This time we tried a shrimp and oyster PO boy. It was so filling. You cannot go wrong with anything you order here. Definitely recommend the raw and charbroiled oysters as well. This is a must stop place everytime we are in NOLA!

Every time I’m in New Orleans, I make it a point to stop by Acme Oyster House—it’s been five times now, and it never disappoints! My friend and I went this time, and as always, the atmosphere was casual and friendly, with great service from the staff. We had both the raw and grilled oysters, and they were incredible. The raw oysters were big, juicy, and fresh, just like I remember. The grilled oysters, with their smoky, buttery flavor, were out of this world! They shorted my friend one oyster by accident and responded super fast by bringing her a huge replacement. The prices are great, and for the quality, it’s always a good deal. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, Acme is the perfect spot for amazing oysters. Can’t wait for my next trip!

As a first timer in Nola, I was so glad the friend I was traveling with already had this place on the itinerary. We liked it so much we went twice during our five day trip. On the first visit, Mike took care of us and was attentive but not intrusive! He was super knowledgeable and made great suggestions. We ordered chargrilled oysters (to die for), raw oysters (served with the best cocktail sauce I've ever had), and a New Orleans medley (gumbo, jambalaya, sausage, red beans & rice). Everything was delicious. I wasn't even sure I liked oysters (but kept trying them) before I came here. The chargrilled oysters will convert you for sure!The only thing we wouldn't get again would be an oyster shot, but let's be honest- that was really more for entertainment value than taste! The second time we went, Keison was our server and the experience was just as good. It's always encouraging when you visit someplace a second time and it's just as good as the first! Keison could tell I was a sauce person when I asked for extra of the cocktail sauce, and even brought out some other sauces for me to try. He suggested the sausage po-boy and it was tasty! And of course we ordered oysters again. This will be a must visit during any future visits to Nola!

I was out in New Orleans for a business trip. Found this place by searching on google. The reviews are really good so I decided to try. I love oyster so I came in with high expectations. The oysters were served hot and fresh. I ordered a side of catfish on the side. The oysters were absolutely delicious but the catfish was just ok…The atmosphere is really nice you can see the cooks frying the oysters on the spot. I would definitely return!

We chose here for our last dinner on this trip. The wait was not too long for two, 10 to 15 minutes max. Once seated, it took almost 10 minutes for our waiter to take our drink order. They were very busy. When I asked about the different beers, he offered samples because he had no personal experience with them. This was nice instead of him trying to BS through it. The fried oysters came out before the beer. They were delicious. Then the fried gator was lightly battered and very meaty. The raw oysters were fresh and good as well. The fries with gravy was good, but not quite what I expected. I think it was a little runny for me. The Peace Po Boy was good too. It had a mix of fried shrimp and oysters. They were meaty as well. Overall the food was delicious, but the music was so loud, even the wait staff had to yell. The conversation at the table was very little because you could not hear anything over the music. This alone would make me think twice about returning. The food was worth it though.
