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

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.

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

This place is my absolute favorite restaurant in NYC! From the mouthwatering Maryland crab cakes to the scrumptious catfish fingers, I just can’t get enough! My absolute favorite is ACME’s award winning famous mashed potatoes with the white yummy gravy…DELICIOUS!

Pros: Super fun atmosphere!

As a southerner, it's always hard for me to find good comfort food in the city. Acme hits the nail on the head. Start off with some jambalaya before moving on to mac and cheese and garlic mashed potatos. The po' boys are authentic and delicious as well. Sip it all down with Abita.

Pros: Mac and Cheese, Po' Boys

Cons: None

Overall I thought the food we ordered (po' boys, jamalaya, etc) was great, but those sweet potato fries--lightly dusted with cinammon--are going to be my downfall!

Pros: Great service--very attentive staff

The food was great. Authentic Cajun style. The sweet potato mash was delicious. The place is large so we didn't have to wait for a table on a Friday night.

Pros: Great Cajun food, Sweet Potato Mash is delicious

Cons: None

Love, love, love ACME. If you like your food spicy, you'll love ACME too. The cornbread placed at every table before each order is hot and soft...just like granny used to make. The cajun corn is hot enough to start a 3 alarm fire in your mouth. Topped with butter, shredded cheese and cayenne pepper. The Jambalya states very similar to those found on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.

Insider 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.
