Andrew ChaoMarch 29, 2013The char grilled oysters are definitely a must here. Even my friend who hates oysters loves them.
Michael SantucciMarch 23, 2013Went with everyones recommendation of Charbroiled Oysters. They were amazing! A must if you're going to be in NOLA!
Lin GlimmJanuary 18, 2014I would never have believed it! The Grilled Oysters are amazing! I'm a raw oyster fanatic, but these were damn good!
Karin ColesAugust 15, 2019The food was just so-so. Everything came out fast but at room temperature. However, the drinks were outstanding! Try the Zulu Margarita. It’s wonderful
John SteidleJuly 2, 2018Any of the oysters are great but the chargrilled were the best. Soft shell crab was also delicious!
Susan XiongMarch 20, 2014we left acme because we didn't want to wait in line and didn't feel like we HAD to have oysters. got half a dozen charbroiled oysters just to try and they are the best thing I've eaten in this city
Richard IrvineNovember 20, 2013Don't missed the catch of the day, probably redfish; get it blackened. Order the small cup of etouffe and pour it on top.
Nathalie AJanuary 3, 2017Char grilled Oysters were fantastic. Other food (etoufee, Turtle soup) was average. Here, it's all about the Oysters.
Linda GivinsNovember 24, 2013Awesome food! The best fried catfish, shrimp and raw oysters! Ask for Rory and you will get amazing service!
Chow Down DetroitDecember 27, 2014Try to sit at the bar. No waiting in long line and you can chat with the oyster guys.
Erika TelkampOctober 22, 2013The BEST oysters I've ever eaten. Huge and mild with homemade cocktail sauce. Get them raw and chargrilled.
Brian LongtinDecember 11, 2015Save room and just load up on the excellent oysters. Loaded with garlic and terrific.
Eric DNovember 2, 2014Belly up to the bar (right at the front) and get a beer and shoot the shit with your oyster shucker.
Dianne K.May 27, 2013I know everyone liked the oysters, and they are phenomenal. But I'm going to recommend the turtle soup, it's divine!
The charbroiled oysters are heavenly. Come here for oysters only - the other menu items are weaker.
Arun NandiSeptember 4, 2014Char grilled oysters are amazing even if you're not a fan of oysters or seafood in general.
Ryan NixonOctober 14, 2021Great oysters: loved on the half shell and char grilled. Good cocktails and excellent service
Betty KangMarch 8, 2013Forget Acme, this place is legit. Local lunch time crowd. Char-grilled Oysters in buttery, parmesan, breadcrumb goodness.
Marigny9October 15, 2015A no nonsense raw oyster bar. Locals know to skip the lines at ACME and eat here instead.
Greg LackeyJune 25, 2016Five stars for the char grilled oysters. Get the sampler too and you'll be set!
Sarah Hope FowlerJuly 18, 2015Skip the line. Sit at the bar. Buy the boys a beer. Get special attention.
Crystal McBradyOctober 4, 2014The red beans and rice are FANTASTIC! The fried crawfish tails are also excellent!
Austin GrayMarch 25, 2013Good food good service with the exception of the ridiculous policy that doesn't allow them to separate checks...so be prepared to be slightly angry.
Freya KnightMarch 17, 2012Skip the line, walk right in and go to the bar. Way more fu and interactive. Get 6 raw oysters and 6 charbroiled! Ask for Anthony.
You can make your own cocktail sauce. The place is old school oyster bar.
Michael ZickefooseApril 15, 2013Sit inside and laugh at all the people in line at Acme. Great service and great food!
Cindy CrookDecember 8, 2014Skip the wait across the street for Acme and try the even better oysters at Felix's!
Libby LeeFebruary 20, 2014the oysters here are fresh and tasty! I recommend ordering the alligator as well-very tasty!
Alex MizrahiOctober 18, 2012Cheapest, freshest oysters in the NOLA with surly shuckers full of character. Get a plate of grilled oysters.
Stina HergottJune 13, 2013Best oysters I've ever had. Been here for a year and a day and you make your own cocktail sauce.
Sherry CahillOctober 15, 2012Good atmosphere. Just byob. No alcohol license. Loved the red beans and rice. Short wait. Skip Acme and eat here.
Liana CascianiAugust 14, 2015Well worth the wait, even if it's 90 degrees at 9pm, the line moves fast.
Matt PerezMarch 7, 2013The sampler is excellent. Everything's fresh and tasty. One order was enough for two people.
Kathy CathcartJune 27, 2022Oysters! Etouffee, beans & rice, jambalaya! Customer service was excellent!
Michael L. FrenchJuly 5, 2016I had the Club Sandwich and it was not good. The fries were old and even the waitress said it looked like they had been cooked several times. My wife had the Oysters Rockefeller which were good.
Michele IngariMarch 31, 2011Sit at the bar it's way more interactive and fun! Great food and atmosphere, super local feel. Delicious and a must do place!
Taylor HowardMarch 21, 2012Always a good choice on bourbon street. Feels less touristy than acme and overall just a great Nola experience.
Shannon VestalMay 13, 2013Chargrilled oysters are a must. The raw ones are kind of a chore though, because they're so big.
Jasmine MoySeptember 14, 2013Seriously: skip Acme. This place is 10 times more civilized. Sit at the bar and let the shuckers entertain you with their vaudeville act
Scott LeafFebruary 19, 2016Leo at the oyster bar is the hardest working man in New Orleans! Cheers Leo!
