Fresh Louisiana oysters, gumbo, jambalaya, and red beans and rice
"The casual Montrose restaurant serving fresh seafood and Creole and Cajun classics is a fun spot for groups to let the good times roll. Order the New Orleans medley for a sampling of gumbo, jambalaya, red beans and rice, and grilled smoked sausage, or the “captain’s platter” for a sample of fried oysters, shrimp, fish, fried soft shell crab, onion rings, fries, and coleslaw plus traditional hush puppies along with ones stuffed with crawfish." - Minh Truong, Brittany Britto Garley
"Don’t let the name mislead you — this New Orleans transplant offers far more than oysters. In addition to fried shrimp platters, seafood gumbo, and po-boys of all types, Acme Oyster House offers a crab cake, served with remoulade sauce, atop of sweet corn maque choux." - Megha McSwain, Brittany Britto Garley
"Offers $15 buckets of beer during Astros games and a weekday happy hour with discounted raw Gulf oysters, draft beers, wine, and frozens." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Like its Louisiana counterpart, Acme Oyster House is a one-stop shop for oysters galore. Raw oysters are presented simply with lemon and spicy cocktail sauce, while dishes like the oyster tacos feature golden fried oysters tossed in chargrill butter and topped with slaw. Another unique option: a bowl of creamy oyster Rockefeller soup with Parmesan cheese and spinach." - Megha McSwain, Brittany Britto Garley
"Like its wildly popular outpost in New Orleans, Acme Oyster House is a lively restaurant located on the lower Westheimer curve where guests can kick back with platters of hearty Gulf seafood eats. Cajun classics like seafood gumbo, chargrilled oysters, and shrimp po-boys are hard to beat, and there are fried seafood platters with French fries, coleslaw and hushpuppies too. Sip on a Sazerac and take your time exploring the menu — or get the party started with a round of oyster shooters." - Megha McSwain
