Boiled seafood - northeast style with external spices 5/14/2004

I ordered the crawfish. Everything was pretty much bland, except for the added-on spices (on the outside of the crawfish, corn, potatoes). After dinner I politely sent a note to the kitchen suggesting Zatarain's Crab Boil. Both the waitress and cook (whoever received it at the kitchen) shrugged and were pretty dismissive. If they're not going to try I'm not coming back, no thanks... more

Good poboys 5/5/2003

The 1/2 shrimp, 1/2 oyster po boy is great (have it with the mac and cheese). The mashed potatoes with white gravy are excellent too. more

Still Crazy After All These Years 8/9/2002

I like Acme. I've been going for years, and maybe it's not the best food, but you know what you're getting. It's funky, friendly, and fast. You can meet old friends, make new friends, and pick up friend friends! The city needs places like this- watering holes of warmth and energy! And, frankly, I think they make some mean downhome Cajun cooking! Pros: ambiance more

good sides 7/23/2002

Order the Mac n Cheese side! The corn bread is also great, but lucky you, it's free! The fried oysters in the poor boy or entree are good, as are the various ways to order catfish, including the catfish salad. This is definitely a fun group place, good for cheap eats in large quantities that are definitely enhanced by the beer. more

  • The Scene
    Chili-pepper lights and bright-colored hot sauce bottles line the walls in standard urban-roadhouse decor, but the East Village crowd, relaxing in ample booths and tables, makes this restaurant look more like a coffee shop. Beer is the choice beverage in the bar area, but the three-rum hurricanes, tasting more of citrus fruit than sugary syrup, provide a fresh take on the tall New Orleans cocktail.

    The Food
    Nothing makes for better bar snacks than this down-home Southern menu. Whet your appetite with the whole-kernel corn bread, then wash down some hush puppies with a pint of Turbo Dog, a malty microbrew imported from Louisiana. The crispy catfish fingers appetizer makes a big meal in itself. Calorific sides dishes like mac and cheese and black-eyed peas come in good-sized portions. Cajun-style entrees, from po' boys to jambalaya, are geared toward extra-large appetites.
