| About: | This timeless New Orleans establishment, Acme Oyster House, has been popular since the management first opened its doors in 1910. Located just off Bourbon Street, the seafood house offers its own twist on New Orleans cuisine in a noisy, casual atmosphere. The food is not to be missed. The popular neon sign beckons locals and tourists to the trademark oysters at an unbeatably low price. If oysters do not tempt your taste buds, try the restaurant's famous Poopa, a French bread bowl filled with sausage and shrimp gumbo or red beans and rice with sausage on the side. Simply delicious! |

All I can say is that we loved the fresh oysters on the half shell and the soft shelled crab po'boys. It was a great dining experience and we'd highly recommend it. This is the only restaurant we've visited (shown on Man vs. Food) that I would actually consider returning to.
Overall the food and service are good. A decent number of louisiana originals and some not-so louisiana originals. All pretty good. Prices are generally reasonable and portions regular size.
was on a tour when we passed by and saw a line outside and our tour guide told us that we had to try it because they had the best oysters in town. Husband and I waited in line, which we didn't mind doing for good oysters, but we were very dissapointed with them. Oysters tasted like water and poboys were also awful. Don't waste your money.
