This place serves your basic cajun/creole food at good prices in a great location. Love the hush puppies

The food was EXCELLENT at a great price. It was rather busy, but it's easy to see why. There isn't much to say about the environment - nothing very special. We had gumbo, jumbalaya, oysters, red beans and...

I can't imagine anyone considering Acme Oyster House a bargain. Wait in line for over an hour for average food at above average prices? Never again.

This place is so good that when you talk about it you might say " Oh yeah, New Orleans is out the door" If you like your oysters fresh, sweet, plump, and fresh then this is your joint. Just leave me a place at...

Nothing special about the fried seafood. The bread is too soft for poboys. Bread is supposed to be good and crusty. This limp stuff might as well be wonder bread. Very bad service on my first attempt. On my...

Loud, crowded, deep fried and fun. PoBoys were fine, I guess, but I expected more on eating my first one. Rest of the food was good, and reasonable. I prefer our Alaskan oysters, not only for a briney taste...

Not only did we meet some of the nicest people in the world, to include the shuckers who made the whole thing work, but the oysters were the pearls of the sea.

For a quick protein pick me up we love it here, just get a pile of crawfish, a few dozen fresh shucked oysters & away we go! Very informal, fun atmosphere & the best shucked oysters in town.

The only thing about ACME that stinks is that it is so popular that it is always CROWDED to the max. The fried stuff on the menu is good, but the real reason to go is for the raw oysters. When in New Orleans,...
