ACME Oyster House

We always get to the airport early when we are leaving New Orleans so we can have a dozen oysters at the Acme Oyster cafe at Louis Armstrong Airport. They also serve Red Beans & Rice and other seafood specialties. It's a wonderful parting interlude-- perfect way to extend your New Orleans visit to the last moment :-)

Delicious food, cold beer, decent value, casual ambience. What could be a better combination?

ACME Oyster House is a local institution. There is always a line on the street to get in - but it moves fast. Sit at the bar and have a dozen raw oysters and a fried shrimp po-boy. We hit it a least twice on every trip.
