What People Are Saying About Acme Bar & Grill

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…
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- Forego the gelatinous tartar and cocktail sauces and reach for the five-alarm house hot sauce, but beware the warning label and sample it before you pour.
- Save Money:
- Weekdays, there's a half-priced appetizer from 4pm to 7pm. There's also a drink special, such as $2 pints of the "homebrew."

Great Food and Cocktails
by jvig at Citysearch
Ordered the Chicken Fried Steak with eggs and home fries. The steak is off the chart , this dish could stand up to most chiefs and establishments. Great tunes on the jukebox of famous BE artists.
This is an authentic BE place in the big city !
- Pros: Food Atmosphere $$
- Cons: none
Did I ask for my food to go?
by foodtruth at Citysearch
I wasn't looking for linen tablecloths, fine china and crystal but I think if you order a po boy it should come dressed and not served on top of a wet tomato so the sandwich is soggy with two sealed plastic containers of sauces(takeout style.) The sweet potato fries were not fries but roasted wedges of sweet potato. The oysters and shrimp were cooked well but everything else was wrong.
Disappointed
- Pros: friendly service
- Cons: takeout delivered to your table
Best weekend brunch
by archerfire at Citysearch
I always go here, but only for their weekend brunches. It's $10.95 and you get a whole lotta food.
I know it' s not authentic southern, cajun. Thier po boys are too small and not messy enough to be the real deal. But it's good food anyways. Their fried catfish and eggs rancheros are the best.
- Pros: Food, relaxed atmosphere
- Cons: For authentic cajun food, you might want to go somewhere else
Worst Delivery Ever...
by onimusha at Citysearch
Called them at 5:20 for a delivery. At 6:30 called again and was told it was "on the way". 7:30 now and the food still hasn't arrived. Unacceptable for Manhattan.
this place it terrible, avoid it!

i just had dinner here tonight. The food was terrible. the service terrible. The meatloaf was served cold. Dennys is better than this place. By far. So, i went to take a look at the past 15 reviews giving this place 5 stars, and sure enough... i checked the number of reviews that these people had on here. Only one. One review. That looks suspicious to me. Looks like the owner is desperate. The food and service were terrible, and honestly, i feel sick from eating the food.
- Pros: location, food type
- Cons: every single thing else
