Acme Oyster House -Harrahs

Came to Acme 1−3−16. Very cute little oyster bar inside the Casino. It’s connected to the Hoodoo Lounge so there’s constant music playing and bar patrons.
I ordered a bowl of Gumbo, one word, AMAZING. I loved it! Flavors were amazing and very tasteful. Only thing, wasn’t any crab legs or crab meat in it :(
Also ordered a side order of Red Beans and Rice, great also! It had some sort (not sure) of meat in the beans, BOMB.
I also tried my friends Fried Oysters, OH MY HEAVENS! Amazing! Best fried oysters I ever tasted, made me jealous I didn’t order them :(
The cashier was very nice and attentive and explained the menu and choices to me to where I could finally make a decision as it’s hard for me, we all know ;)
Overall great experience, great food and good music. Kudos!

I hope to god this isn’t associated with the actual acme oyster house because it’s a joke. The boo fries had less then a teaspoon of gravy and barely any cheese on old fries. And the boom boom shrimp was straight out of the bag. It was actually so cold they were still stuck together with ice on one piece. Do not waste your money. Was so upset I refused to even go to the regular acme this time.

Boo Fries and some kind of wings that were both awesome. We wanted to go to the «real» Acme location but the line was always crazy long. Accidentally found this satellite location inside the casino and had some of the best food of our whole trip.

This is their fast food version located inside the Harrah’s casino. Quick and easy. My fried oysters and fries platter were darned good, but I was surprised how good the combo plate of red beans and rice with sausage, gumbo, and jambalaya was at this location. I also enjoyed the bread pudding.
Unfortunately, no charbroiled oysters at this location.

Visiting New Orleans? Acme is a must on your eating itinerary. Since this is our third trip to NOLA some restaurants are hard not to come back to. Just real good food. Most places are gonna be real good. This is what makes New Orleans a place to be, the most delicious food you’ll find in the world. I mean that!!! Acme has different locations but be prepared to wait in a long line in the French Quarter. This Acme just happens to be in a Harah’s Casino which makes it convenient for us our hotel is across the street. There is no long lines and even with a limited menu it’s still delicious and good. I would highly recommend Seafood Gumbo and Jambalaya. Hard to keep up with Unilocaling all check ins but this is definitely one on the books. The prices are good and service, well mostly everyone is amazingly friendly. It makes the visit more pleasant. Friendly service goes a long way. Eat well my friends.

First came for convenience during my business-​related stay. Needed a quick place to grab some food without the walk further into french quarter. Ended up eating here four times and at worst, matched up with most other places I ate while in New Orleans. Great gumbo, Jambalaya, Red Beans and Rice, Po boy was decent, but the fried oyster platter was outstanding. Some of the best slaw ive had too.

Friendly service and fast. I’ve never tried étouffée and thought if I should have it anywhere it would be here. It was great. Small portion was plenty. Loaded with seafood! Good boom boom shrimp appetizer as well! Only downside is if you want oysters, they don’t have them at this location.

On vacation for essence fest I kept seeing Instagram pics of char grilled oysters and people raving about them. Early Fourth of July morning I decided to wake up early, leave the hotel and venture off for oysters. is ordered a ½ dozen to be safe and a bowl of gumbo. My sister decided to sample one and then she kept eating them. They tasted like heaven. so good. We just told the waitress to make it a dozen. Next time I know I need my own dozen. I highly recommend but I am trying drago’s next to see what all the hype is.

This was our first stop upon arrival in New Orleans. We were seated at the bar and the man behind the bar shucking oysters greeted us. He suggested we try the local seasonal beer, Abita Strawberry. It was very refreshing. We ordered the grilled oysters, fried oyster platter, and the Étouffée with fried crawfish tails. The étouffée and the fried oysters were very good, but the chargrilled oysters were outstanding, huge and juicy. Can’t wait to go back for the Boo Boo fried.

No raw oysters or char-​grilled oysters. But it’s not crowded and the gumbo poopa is just as good as at the regular location.

If you’re not looking for the oysters, this spot is perfect. We had the roast beef po’ boy with fries and boo gravy. Amazing! The counter is nice and the food comes out quick. Way better than waiting over an hour!

Not much better than McDonnald’s for service & atmosphere. Way overpriced and less that mediocre food! Don’t waste a meal here when there are so many better places that are much more reasonable in price!

Charbroiled oysters are the bomb. Don’t get 6 get a dozen!!! Tastes like cheese pizza. Then the yummy shrimp and oyster po’ boy!

Why no char-​grilled oysters or raw ones?! This is what the restaurant is known for so why not have their signature food?! DISAPPOINTED. No point of going here… sigh.

Food is ok at best but… what makes this place stand out is the b@&ch at the counter taking the orders and delivering our food she is a special kind of stupidity, after getting attitude when ordering I asked for horseradish her reply was great she said“why” I replied «for the oysters» and again in all her glory said in a beautiful moment of ignorance with a wonderful expression of middle distance on her face said
«uuuuh no» …please run fom this place and save your self.

This Acme is inside the Harrahs casino. I was staying at a hotel closer to the casino so I tried this place rather than walking down to the original location which I usually eat at when I’m in town. This location has walk up counter service only. The employee was very nice but the food severely lacked for an Acme. I ordered a fried shrimp po-​boy. The bread was hard and stale and crumbled all over my plate. The fried shrimp themselves were ok. I asked for tarter sauce with my sandwich which I didn’t get. Since I was the only one in the place the girl went back into the kitchen after I got my food and I never saw her again. I walked up to the counter a couple of times to see if I could get her attention through the window in the kitchen door but never saw her. I had really been looking forward to a fried shrimp po-​boy from Acme and ended up being completely disappointed with the stale dry mess I ended up with. I ended up walking to the original Acme the next day for dinner so I could get the real deal.

Great food. Great service. Fast. Inside the casino with Tv’s all around. Music playing. Bar connected but separate. No oyster on the half shell.
