Acme Oyster House in NO

What's the deal with this place? I've never eaten there, but it must be some awesome oysters.
I walked by there a few nights this weekend and the line to get in this place was jaw-dropping. I've seen shorter lines at Disney. Seriously, it was almost back to Bourbon St. Sunday night.
The only way I can see standing in a line like that to dine is if it was free, and then it better be some damn good stuff.

Hint. There are better places for oysters. It is pretty good no doubt though.

tourist trap

The one in the FQ isn't particularly big. But it is one of the cities more well known establishments. The lines are always like that if there is something going on in town. It's decent. Not mind blowing though.

Acme is just blah for me. I'd go across the street to Felix's and get the same thing without having to wait in line.

The one in BR isn't all that great. Parrains which is 50 yards away is much better.

The FQ is probably the worst place to get oysters, just because there are so many tourists. And so, there's a wait and you'll pay.
Many people here laud Luke's for its oyster happy hour (.50 a piece). I am not sold. The last time I went, and this was a few weeks ago, the oysters were tiny and horribly shucked, as in shredded, not to mention the muscle attaching it to the shell remained, making it an even bigger mess to eat.
The best oysters are found in Jefferson Parish. There you don't have to wait as long or pay as much. Oyster specials at Don's (Mondays 5-9), Kenner Seafood (Monday and Wednesday), and Dockside are where you should go if you love oysters.
Felix's is the most overpriced, overrated restaurant in the Quarter, barring Galatoire's.
