I'd go across the street to Felix's and get the same thing without having to wait in line.
I've been flabbergasted by restaurant lines before but this weekend was something else. Both of those places had lines at least 2 hours. For oysters! I don't even know how that works - do you get in line hours before you start getting hungry? I just can't imagine waiting for something like that. The wait at Bourbon House was an hour, not good but better than a 2 to 3 hour wait next door.
For lunch Monday I went to Vacherie cafe at Hotel St. Marie and had a great sandwich with no wait and good drinks. It's all about having a good base.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. I was staying near there and went by these places often. The lines were unbelievable. For oysters. What makes one place's oysters better than the other's? Aren't they all Louisiana oysters? It has to be name recognition. Or what has been mentioned previously, a tourist trap. For the amount of oysters that Acme had to be serving, they can't have some access to a "special, top-notch" oyster that no one else has access to.

Dude. There were a few events in town this weekend that caused alot of hungry tourist to go to restaurants. What do you not understand about this?
Gordon Biersch had to be at least an hour wait based on the line I saw around noon.
