ACME Bar & Grill advertises the slogan, "an okay place to eat," and for a frigid, wintry day when your body craves comfort food in no serving size anyone would dare call small, ACME is a more than okay place to be. The Cajun and Southern inspired menu starts off with "appeteasers" like flame-roasted cajun corn, Maryland crabcakes, shucked oysters, and catfish fingers that only help warm-up to mouthwatering po-boy sandwiches, burgers, and hearty meat & seafood entrees. Fried oyster or shrimp po-boys are perfect for those craving seafood and meatloaf po-boys and bacon cheeseburgers are readily available for visiting carnivores. "Big Bowls" of jambalaya and seafood gumbo or southern favorites--collard greens, mashed potatoes, and homemade coleslaw accompany entrees, all to be accompanied by the bottles of hot sauce available on the table and smattered along the wall as decor. For bold and hearty food, sure to fill the belly, stop by ACME and wallow in it's fried-food joy.
ACME Bar & Grill is located at 9 Great Jones Street between Lafayette & Broadway. Open for lunch, dinner, and brunch on the weekends. (212)-420-1934.
