Lonely Planet review for Acme Oyster & Seafood House

They still shuck oysters to order here, which is a beautiful thing, but when Acme gets busy – which is fairly often – it serves them up pre-shucked. This heresy encapsulates the dance with quality Acme engages in: trying to stay true to its roots as one of the Quarter’s oldest operating seafood joints, but within dangerous proximity of the undiscerning crowds from nearby chain resorts. It’ll even serve gumbo in a bread bowl – nice if you’re from California, but pure madness to local food purists. That said, when Acme is on, it’s on; for midrange solid seafood this is good stuff, but don’t expect the authentic Louisiana bounty of the Gulf you may have been promised.

    Disappointing.

    lollybee does not recommend this,

    Not sure where/how this got its reputation for being THE place to go. Food tasted like something bought pre-packaged. Service not the worst I've had, but definitely not terribly interested in helping.

    The oysters were warm...

    nictewe does not recommend this,

    We thought the food was going to be nice because of the long line of people waiting outside, but it was so so. The prices were good though, but I wouldn´t come back next time I visit.
