Acme Bar and Grill is a great place to go if your craving that Southern cooking. They absolutely, hand down, have the best ribs ever and the sweet potato fries are amazing. I love coming to this place and it is reasonable priced and overall I would highly recommend eating here, my experience was perfect.

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 style cooking Acme is the place to go when you're downtown. How can you pass up great catfish salad or if you're looking for something a bit more substantial you can get some ribs with tasty meat falling off the bones. Sweet potato fries and some collard greens are a must for me when I eat there and I would suggest them to you too. If you live between Canal and 14th street from fifth to A they even deliver so why would you get bad pizza? Check out their menu here: http://acmebarandgrill.com/menus.html

If you're down for a little something different from all of the other restaurants in the SoHO area, point your attention towards the ACME Bar and Grill. I went there on a Friday night, had no problem getting a table and felt immersed in the overall vibe of the venue. The waiters can be a bit slow for a bar/restaurant that isn't that large, but the food is well worth it. From the Po' Boy sandwiches to the gumbo and jambalaya, you won't be disappointed. The back of the restaurant serves as a bar area and there is a wide selection of beers at your disposal. One thing you'll notice while you eat is that the "ledge" bordering the walls of the restaurant are adorned with tons of different hot sauses and spices from all over the world. The vibe is pretty decent, though if you are picky about having a quiet dinner alone with someone, beware of the people in other tables sitting about a foot away from you as they tables are grouped so tightly together. This is definitely a place I recommend if you're hanging out with a group of friends. And be sure to check this place out during the weekend from 10-4, as there is a brunch special, including open bar.
