Acme Oyster House

Oysters, oysters, oysters

Review Rating
I came here in 2004 while driving across the country. Sitting here at the bar eating freshly shucked oysters and drinking beer was one of the culinary highlights of the trip. I had a lot of good food on that trip so this is saying a lot. If you want oysters in New Orleans, you need to eat here, period.

2007 UPDATE - Dudes and dudettes, if there is a oyster and fried catfish heaven, it would be look like this. The clouds would part, and I would eat oysters and fried catfish. I went back here three years later and it was just as good. Screw the hype - it's good here.

No reservations, here. The line to get a table can wind down the street, so get here early.

In Short Loud, crowded and full of life, this seafood haven draws locals and tourists who stand in line for top-notch shooters, cold beer and the salty ambience of this outpost. Shuckers who stand behind the counter and expertly open each mollusk, presenting them to diners with an almost comical reverence. Fresh oysters are the draw, but non-lovers can choose from favorites including... more

The Quarter's oldest oyster bar needed a $2-million renovation to recover from Katrina-related issues, but it looks pretty much as it always did, just spiffier (new floor, new tiling, new bathrooms, and best of all, newly expanded kitchen). This joint is always loud, often crowded, and the kind of place where you're likely to run into obnoxious fellow travelers. But if you need an oyster fix or... more

All good things come to those who wait - that's the truth!

My husband and I visited NOLA for our Anniversary weekend and were pleased with the service and selection at Acme.

Recommend the chargriled oysters that are done with butter and parmesean. Expect to wait in line for 10 minutes or so...

Pros

+ Chargrilled Oysters... Mmmm

Cons

- Waiting

I can't wait to go back to New Orleans and eat at this Acme Oyster House again. As many times as I have been to New Orleans, I cannot believe I have eaten at Acme only once.

Pros

+ Centrally located in French Quarter
