About Acme Oyster House

Acme Oyster House is a longstanding restaurant known for its skilled shucker, Joe "Hollywood" Broadway, who has been there for 43 years. The raw oysters are perfectly chilled, fresh, and briny, just what customers want in Gulf oysters. The chargrilled oysters are a must-try, smoky from the grill, drenched in garlic butter, and topped with just the right amount of cheese. The gumbo has a fabulous dark roux, while the fried platters, including fried crawfish po-boys and gator tails, are both satisfying and caloric. Customers can enjoy a New Orleans Medley and BOOM BOOM SHRIMP, all served with a lively NOLA vibe by the friendly staff. The food is seasoned to perfection, and even those who typically dislike oysters enjoy the hearty and flavorful chargrilled oysters. The restaurant offers good value with relatively cheap prices and big portions, making it a popular choice for both locals and visitors. While it can be a little tight and customers may be seated with strangers, it is always worth a stop. Fast service and a fun atmosphere ensure that a visit will deliver a great dinner experience. The grilled oysters and fried crab claws are especially praised by customers, adding to the tempting menu that keeps people coming back.
