Where the Locals Eat Rating
Top 100 Restaurant, New Orleans
"Since 1910, Acme Oyster House has been pleasing the palates of discriminating diners. . . . Our food has also won numerous kudos and awards from many local and national publications."
–Acme Oyster House website
"Acme delivers seafood in a variety of ways, whether it is served on a plate, stuffed in a loaf of French bread or piled into a bowl. And most customers come back for more."
–Gambit Weekly
"Best place to get raw oysters."
–New Orleans Magazine
"If you need an oyster fix or you've never tried oyster shooting (taking a raw oyster, possibly doused in sauce, and letting it slide right down your throat), come here. . . If you can't quite stomach them raw, try the oyster po' boy, with beer, of course, or the increasingly popular char-grilled oysters."
–Frommer's
"Make sure you're in a social mood before going to the oyster bar of all oyster bars. The shuckers are talkative and friendly . . ."
