Acme Oyster House in the French Quarter, New Orleans

Rawbar Inc., doing business as Acme Oyster House, is a chain of seafood restaurants in the United States, headquartered in Metairie, Louisiana,[1] with the original in the French Quarter of New Orleans. The company's food is served cajun and creole style and it has locations in Florida, Alabama, and formerly Texas.[2]

Its dishes include oysters, po boys, jambalaya, etouffee, and gumbo.[3]

In 2005 the French Quarter restaurant did not book reservations. Clea Simon of the Boston Globe wrote that the French Quarter facility "looks more like a bar than a restaurant".[4]

History

Acme was founded in 1910 as the Acme Café.[5]

In 2005 it had plans to open a location in the Biloxi Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi.[6]

In 2010 the company began pursuing opening a location in Houston.[7] The location in Montrose, Houston opened in April 2021, and closed in December 2023.[8] It was in the former Tower Theatre, which was established in 1936 and later housed a theatre, a nightclub, a movie rental business, a Tex-Mex restaurant before becoming an Acme location.[9] This was the first Acme location that has stopped operations.[10]

Acme appeared in Man v. Food (season 1). Adam Richman’s challenge was to join the 15 Dozen Club.[11] They also appeared on Food Paradise (season 2).
