Acme Oyster House Restaurant Review: The Metairie outpost of this New Orleans oyster house is easier to access and offers the same quality oysters and classic renditions of casual New Orleans favorites. Gumbo or red beans served in a bread bowl, known here as the “Poopa,” is a house specialty. Acme also offers what the menu dubs "Cajun sushi," with raw or fried oysters or fried shrimp topped with wasabi, Tabasco soy sauce, sticky rice and chopsticks. For a hearty appetite, try the Peacemaker, a combination of fried oysters and fried shrimp on French bread; it was originally known as La Mediatrice, so called as New Orleans husbands took it home to smooth things over with their wives after a night on the town. Finish your meal with a slice of chocolate caramel pie or a good old-fashioned root beer float. Locally produced suds, such as Abita, make the best quaffs with this food. Located near a busy shopping district, Acme offers an oasis after a full day of fighting the crowds. |
