The chargrilled oysters are on par with the ones at Drago's. They're really good with a cheesy, buttery topping.

Falcons vs Saints 2015

My friend and I came to this spot. He was determine to try this establishment out before the saints and falcons game. The restaurant is a great atmosphere, food was ok. However the location was pretty convenient for drinking status/mode, lol. A worker named J***** was not our server, but did show me a great experience later on that night;p I would tell people to just try it out. I probably wouldn't go back, unless,....《;p》hahaha

The Oysters!!!!!

My mother and I truly hated oysters until we went here with my dad. The waitress convinced us to try one of their chargrilled oysters and we were hooked!!! WTF!! After 16 yrs of saying "NO!" to oysters, I said "Hell Yeah!!!!" to Acme Oyster House?! I'll wait as long as I have to to eat here. It's so worth the wait and the oysters are addictive.....

Best Fried Oysters

Long wait to get in but well worth it. The oysters are phenomenal and the potato salad. Such an odd menu item but it is delicious!!
