My wife love love love chargrilled oysters from Acme Oyster House Destin. This was our first time here at this location but we could not have been more excited when we saw the sign while behind our resort the Ariel 2. Super fresh oysters, great tasting sweet tea, and great service at the bar.
Anytime we get out to Destin we always stop by Acme Oyster House. The Oysters were super fresh and not too salty and they have the best horseradish on the coast. The blackened shrimp was awesome as well. Adrianna took great care of us at the bar and Tanner was doing a great job shucking those oysters. You have to try Tanners Oyster Rockefeller as they are spot on.
We were able to cross Acme Oyster House off our Destin bucket list during a late afternoon when they were not as busy. I forgot our server's name, but she was very welcoming, helpful in making recommendations, and regularly checking up on us.
We ordered both the raw and chargilled oysters. The spicy cocktail sauce that comes with the raw is VERY spicy--just the way I like it! And I especially enjoyed the gooey, cheesey chargrilled oysters with herb butter sauce. The Bread Pudding Milk Punch cocktail is also a winner.
The only item that didn't quite tickle my fancy was the oyster shot. I'm typically used to it having other ingredients such as horseradish, lemon and pepper, but this one had very little cocktail sauce and tasted like straight up vodka.
Was out with the kiddos & they wanted some seafood. Acme was the closest, so we proceeded over. We walked in and were seated immediately. Our server was nice & welcoming. She took our drink orders & returned to take our food order. Our food came out in about 15-20 mins. Everything was hot, fresh, and full flavor. We had a shrimp & fish platter, with coleslaw and fries. Two kids shrimp & fries meals, chicken tender & fries kids meal and crabclaws with fries. The waitress checked on us several times & and filled our drinks without having to ask.
This is a kid friendly place but always has a bar with several delicious looking drinks. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for seafood and you have a large party. Their menu price run between $-$$
Our first time at Acme Oyster bar did not disappoint!! We started with the fried alligator, crawfish dip. My oh my was that delicious!! The chargrilled oysters were phenomenal!! Crab cake, lightly fried fish, and kids meal was also very much on point! We had to top it off with desserts too! Key lime pie was delicious, raspberry cheesecake was to die for!! The brownie my son got was extremely huge and he said it was the best dessert ever! I highly recommend trying this place! Prices were good, service was excellent and food was phenomenal!!
Great location and options. Lovely Cajun spice got all in everything! Dessert was spared the Cajun taste in favor of sweetness.
Plenty of parking.
We went here a few times when we lived in the area. The food never blew us away by any means but it was overall good. Would take a hard pass on the red beans and rice but I will say the fried crab cakes are probably the absolute best crab cakes we found living in the Miramar area. They were fantastic. Bartenders always really friendly. Preferred to sit at the bar as the service always seemed better. Overall cool spot in the area.
We've been to the one in New Orleans. Has the same feel. Great food and our waitress was excellent. I had the grilled shrimp salad. Will had the fried fish and Shrimp. It was all excellent! Yum. Great find in Destin.
Top notch menu items not seen at most seafood restaurants. The staff and service were memorable (but we all know that can change). Try an Oyster Shot! And for me, one of the best Gumbo cups I've ever had on the Gulf Coast.
In and out very quickly. Delicious Raw and Chargrilled oysters and Great Gumbo too boot. I'll be back.
Literally the best food I've had in months. The oysters were hands down the best I have had. Our bartenders were amazing. Definitely ask them about suggestions they will NOT lead you wrong! Lima beans and the New Orleans medley were amazing!
Natalie was our waitress. She took care of us. Kept our drinks filled and made sure everything was perfect. I highly suggest you try the charred oysters and jambalaya. You won’t regret it, sooooo good!! Won’t ever visit Destin again without stopping here!
We really enjoyed our meal here. We ordered two fish and shrimp platters, a shrimp platter, a chopped steak, and jambalaya. All were excellent. Will definitely go back when we can. Cocktail sauce and tarter sauce were fantastic. If you like hush puppies, these are great.
Service was good. We didn't have to wait to long for any of the food. The Buffalo wings were huge and tasty. Perfectly fried. The grilled oysters were good. I really wish we could have taken some home but we were told we were unable to do so. It's fine. Overall the atmosphere is very good and decent. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu.
The place was welcoming. The staff was friendly but not that attentive. The food was alright, could be improved. I would make the suggestion for the A/C at higher temperature, it was really cold in there. Overall would give it a 6/10.
The food was Great! And our waitress Lum was Awesome!!! He made us feel very welcome and very knowledgeable of the menu and his recommendation was delicious 😋
Visiting from Dallas. Sarah our waitress made our first time experience there amazing! Indoor and outdoor seating with a full bar in the middle of the restaurant. Sarah recommended the chargrilled oysters and they did not disappoint. She also told us the items on the menu that are highlighted red were fan favorites. The cocktail sauce was so good with the perfect heat. The remoulade dressing was recommended by Sarah for my salad and it paired perfectly with my seafood salad. Will definitely come back!
First time visit, and we wanted to try good seafood. This place exceeded our expectations and would definitely recommend for newcomers. Great food and amazing service from Sarah!
Best oysters!! Super fresh and salty as they should be. I also ordered the bread pudding and it was phenomenal! It was warm, not dry at all and had raisins!! Our server was Leeann and she was a Gem! And I feel that it was reasonably priced
