I'm a sucker for anyplace that serves a good catfish sandwich, and this is one of them. Great place for an after-work dinner. Also recommend the fried oysters.

I checked out Acme based on the good things people had to say about it, but overall I was kinda bummed with my experience. The cornbread that was served as an appetizer was DELICIOUS, but everything…

The food at Acme is a delicious disguise for the musical horrors that await you below in the Acme Club. I'm not really ashamed to admit that I've ventured to Acme several times to "support" my…

I like getting some way south of the mason-dixon food at acme, but it is small and I have often been turned away (or faced with a long long wait!). not recommended for groups.

When I discovered this joint I was extatic. I had been jonzin for some real Southern food, and this place delivers. From the assortment of hot sauce to the real cajun style dishes, you will not be…

I have been to Acme several times, and use it as a place to get some soul-style comfort food. We always get the Granny's Fried Okra as a starter. I definitely recommend the meatloaf, corn on the cob,…

I ordered delivery from Acme and was ASTOUNDED by the fact that the fried chicken dinner was piping hot and amazingly still crispy. Having tried the subpar fried chicken at Mama's and other faux Southern...

It's like Lousiana in Noho! Excellent fried chicken, ribs, the BEST fritters north of the mason-dixon, and even great corn bread (the true test of a good southern establishment). Great food, good atmosphere...

For over fifteen years Acme's motto has been "an okay place to eat" but that really isn't a fair appraisal. It might not be a three star restaurant but if you have a craving for good old Southern…

First time I ate here was not impressed, but decided to give it another go and am glad that I did. I think I just ordered the wrong things the first time (chicken fried steak and macaroni and cheese). This...

This is one of my first finds when I moved to Manhattan: atop ACME Underground, a great space to hear live shows (my boyfriend's first-ever gig was there) is the best Cajun food in New York. From the…

I sometimes long for their chicken fried steak and a beer, this place does the trick every time. The game is usually on the TV too, which is good. There is a bar in the back and lots of tables up front that...

Shrimp/oyster po-boy- you have to put it together yourself? You're kidding. A proper po-boy shows up dressed and they have no idea what that means. The breading didn't stick to the seafood either, and the...

I live close by Acme and never tried it until 2 weeks ago. I've been back 3 times since then. The food is good, especially the burgers (nice charbroiled taste). The fried chicken "supper" plate I had was also...

Acme is a good neighborhood stable and all, but some of these rave reviews for their food are highly overexaggerated. Nothing on their menu rates as great. You can get better ribs and sides pretty much...

We ordered takeout last week from Acme as it is close to home and I had a hankering for ribs and wings. Much to our delight, the food arrived hot and beautifully packaged. The ribs were fall-off-the bone...

Everything's good. The 1/2 shrimp and 1/2 oyster po' boy rocks the party. The chicken fingers and mac and cheese are yummy. Have a beer and pour hot sauce all over the food and you'll be pretty happy.

If you're looking for a fancy spot, this aint the place. But, the Southern-styled dishes darn good! My favorite is the Buffalo wings, with corn bread. Yummy! The beans and rice dish isn't bad, either. And, if...
