I don’t live in BR but go to Acme when in town and could not agree more with this.

It’s an off menu creation but I typically get a Buffalo fried oyster salad with blue cheese crumbles, bacon bits red onions, and ranch dressing.

I disagree but everyone’s entitled to their opinion

What do you think is overrated about it? I enjoy most of their menu items. The Friday special shrimp etoufee is very solid IMO

Acme has a fried oyster Caesar salad that is great. I guess I'm in the minority but am a huge fan of Acme. A dozen raw, a large salad with a ton of oysters and a few cold Abita Ambers is a meal fit for this king!

All of that for $40 sounds like a deal.

A dozen chargrilled is probably running $30 at the moment for a dozen. Might even be more.

A dozen raw at Phils down the street, which is cheaper across the board, are $22. Thats absurd for oysters

12 oysters, a cup of gumbo, and half a sandwich plus an alcoholic beverage and tip? $40 seems about right, even in BR. At home for me that meal would easily be $70.

To be clear, I’m not advocating that people should spend that every day for lunch. That would be insane. But if you choose to eat lunch there one day, $40 would be completely reasonable for it.

At Phils that order would just be under $50 without tip and with raw oysters. Oysters are just so expensive now.

Their Monday oyster special is now $1 oysters

Wow oysters have gone way up. I didn’t realize that. In that case $40 is a damn steal

I miss the days of going to The Chimes for 25 cent oysters.

The buckets of oysters must be expensive too because I've noticed several places no longer offering oyster poboys or oyster fried plates.

Some of the worst chargrilled in town at an insane price. A moderate roast beef. Their gumbo is mediocre at best.

And again, they sell imported fish. So

Your first argument is the cost. Now it’s the quality. So.

And both points stand on their own. They sell shite fish. So what other shite are they selling? The other non fish items declined as well.

You want to pay 40 bucks for thar, go ahead.

You seem super upset about a random restaurant.

4 pound tub of oysters is running $71 plus. Cost on a shelled oyster is around .74 each.

Not super upset. Stating an opinion a message board. Didn't threaten to burn it down.
