Acme Oyster House
Reviews
Beautiful restaurant and service was fine but that's about it. Three of us ordered shrimp and grits which I usually love and these were the worse I ever tasted. Ordered the small portion and that's certainly what I got SMALL, not even a piece of bread served with them. My husband and I had a couple of beers and two small portions of food plus fried green tomatoes and it was $50 with tip. Don't ever mind paying for a good meal but you certainly don't get your monies worth here. Would have been embarrassed to serve this at my home.
The Good: Server was around enough and did a good job. Atmosphere was nice, even though i thought it would be different inside, based on the outside look. My wife had a fish platter that was good and plenty there. Boo fries were good too. The Bad: I ordered shrimp and grits. They were horrible. A few others tried it and agreed. At least 50% of the table got food/appetizers that were only warm. It wasn't even that busy and food was warm. Overall it was just average at best. Doubt I will go back, if given the choice.
Love this place and visit often! The PoBoys are some of the best I have ever had. The bread is amazing. The portions are generous and prices are comparable or less than most places in the area. Friendly staff and great service.
Been to several other location and they were pretty good. This one still needs some work. Don't know if the server was having a off night but, damn. Got our order wrong and came off making it seem like it was our fault. She couldn't keep our drinks filled, never really checked on our table, and we had to track her down for the check. I still tipped her 20% but, it was sub-par service at best. Some random guy at McDonalds could have done better. Also, be prepared to drop a good chunk of change for a group of four, especially if your drinking. So BEWARE if your pinching those pennies while traveling. Their our better places in the local area to try while this one gets all the bugs worked out.
Best Bloody Mary but that was it. The oysters didn't look appetizing and weren't very good. Could have been chilled more. Meal was edible but nothing that I would go back for. Very expensive for not so great meal.
