Ryan NixonOctober 14, 2021Great oysters: loved on the half shell and char grilled. Good cocktails and excellent service- FrancesSeptember 16, 2019Amazing etoufee, gumbo, chargrilled oysters, blackened shrimp! The floor was VERY slippery for me!
Lin GlimmJanuary 18, 2014I would never have believed it! The Grilled Oysters are amazing! I'm a raw oyster fanatic, but these were damn good!
Sarah T.February 4, 2014You gotta try the jambalaya. The cup is a nice little size, but I say just go for the entree and split it if you want to share something.
Andrew ChaoMarch 29, 2013The char grilled oysters are definitely a must here. Even my friend who hates oysters loves them.
Susan XiongMarch 20, 2014we left acme because we didn't want to wait in line and didn't feel like we HAD to have oysters. got half a dozen charbroiled oysters just to try and they are the best thing I've eaten in this city
Erika TelkampOctober 22, 2013The BEST oysters I've ever eaten. Huge and mild with homemade cocktail sauce. Get them raw and chargrilled.
Sarah Hope FowlerJuly 18, 2015Skip the line. Sit at the bar. Buy the boys a beer. Get special attention.
Wayne SurberFebruary 5, 2015We got oysters here instead of Acme on Superbowl Sunday, the one day we could have gotten into Acme easier. Anyways, they were good and the people were nice, but the oysters at Peche were far better.
Marigny9October 15, 2015A no nonsense raw oyster bar. Locals know to skip the lines at ACME and eat here instead.
Michael ZickefooseApril 15, 2013Sit inside and laugh at all the people in line at Acme. Great service and great food!
The charbroiled oysters are heavenly. Come here for oysters only - the other menu items are weaker.
Nathalie AJanuary 3, 2017Char grilled Oysters were fantastic. Other food (etoufee, Turtle soup) was average. Here, it's all about the Oysters.
Richard IrvineNovember 20, 2013Don't missed the catch of the day, probably redfish; get it blackened. Order the small cup of etouffe and pour it on top.
Chow Down DetroitDecember 27, 2014Try to sit at the bar. No waiting in long line and you can chat with the oyster guys.
AdamAugust 11, 2012The service here is amazing!!! The place was packed and we were waiting on friends to show up, but they didn't rush or complain. Just know they do cash only and can't sale alcohol.
Dianne K.May 27, 2013I know everyone liked the oysters, and they are phenomenal. But I'm going to recommend the turtle soup, it's divine!
Betty KangMarch 8, 2013Forget Acme, this place is legit. Local lunch time crowd. Char-grilled Oysters in buttery, parmesan, breadcrumb goodness.
Michael L. FrenchJuly 5, 2016I had the Club Sandwich and it was not good. The fries were old and even the waitress said it looked like they had been cooked several times. My wife had the Oysters Rockefeller which were good.
Greg LackeyJune 25, 2016Five stars for the char grilled oysters. Get the sampler too and you'll be set!
EricNovember 2, 2014Belly up to the bar (right at the front) and get a beer and shoot the shit with your oyster shucker.
Arun NandiSeptember 4, 2014Char grilled oysters are amazing even if you're not a fan of oysters or seafood in general.
Linda GivinsNovember 24, 2013Awesome food! The best fried catfish, shrimp and raw oysters! Ask for Rory and you will get amazing service!
Brian LDecember 11, 2015Save room and just load up on the excellent oysters. Loaded with garlic and terrific.
Kathy CathcartJune 27, 2022Oysters! Etouffee, beans & rice, jambalaya! Customer service was excellent!
Michele IngariMarch 31, 2011Sit at the bar it's way more interactive and fun! Great food and atmosphere, super local feel. Delicious and a must do place!
Stina HergottJune 13, 2013Best oysters I've ever had. Been here for a year and a day and you make your own cocktail sauce.
Jasmine MoySeptember 14, 2013Seriously: skip Acme. This place is 10 times more civilized. Sit at the bar and let the shuckers entertain you with their vaudeville act
Crystal McBradyOctober 4, 2014The red beans and rice are FANTASTIC! The fried crawfish tails are also excellent!
Matt PerezMarch 7, 2013The sampler is excellent. Everything's fresh and tasty. One order was enough for two people.
Alex MizrahiOctober 18, 2012Cheapest, freshest oysters in the NOLA with surly shuckers full of character. Get a plate of grilled oysters.
Ms HeleneDecember 24, 2016Chargrilled oysters half dozen for $12. Skip gumbo that's mostly rice $6 a cup.
You can make your own cocktail sauce. The place is old school oyster bar.
Liana CascianiAugust 14, 2015Well worth the wait, even if it's 90 degrees at 9pm, the line moves fast.
Scott LeafFebruary 19, 2016Leo at the oyster bar is the hardest working man in New Orleans! Cheers Leo!
Sherry CahillOctober 15, 2012Good atmosphere. Just byob. No alcohol license. Loved the red beans and rice. Short wait. Skip Acme and eat here.
Cindy CrookDecember 8, 2014Skip the wait across the street for Acme and try the even better oysters at Felix's!
Stephen SmytheJune 23, 2015The mortal enemy of ACME across the street Felix's is almost as busy and just as good.
Freya KnightMarch 17, 2012Skip the line, walk right in and go to the bar. Way more fu and interactive. Get 6 raw oysters and 6 charbroiled! Ask for Anthony.
