Second visit fin a month. The food and service is excellent. I had the Pecan Crusted Haddock - words fail to describe how delicious this entree tasted. Live 2 1/2 hours from this restaurant but it is definitely worth the trip. Trying to find an excuse to another road trip to Acme! Veterans remember to ask for your food discount.

This restaurant is an experience. Well let's start with the reservation, I made reservation for 9:15pm about a week before the date we chosen, I wish I can get an earlier reservation. Well they reached out to me and ask if I want an earlier reservation and moved the reservation to 8pm. I already experienced some great service before even eating here. Once I arrived they sit us down immediately, there are still lines waiting to get into the restaurant at 8pm. The restaurant might not look much from the outside but it is clean and busy. The staff were all excellent. Then comes the food, the quality of the seafoods are all fresh and amazing. I can eat dozens of those fresh oysters and peel n eat shrimp I can go through 10 plates, they are cooked right and seasoned just right. We also ordered the Lighthouse Trio, the crab cake was full of crab meat and seasoned right, the shrimp tasted great also cooked differently from the peel n eat ones. The only disappointment is the scallops, just little more salty than I like, but I can still tasted the freshness of the scallops, also I still ate it all. There is a reason why this place is a success. Why can't all the restaurants have this type of great services, atmosphere, food, and care! I absolutely love this place.

I ordered the Isle of Palms Shrimp & Grits, which was delicious; I really enjoyed the combination of blackened shrimp, smoked sausage, tomatoes & onions over truffle cheese grits. I also tried some of the fried flounder and the salmon from the "Fried East Coast Seafood" section, but the salmon lacked flavor especially in comparison to the flounder and the shrimp and grits. The service was standard, and the table we were seated at had some trash lying around the area.

This is a place that must be busy anytime it's open. And rightfully so. This place is great. We got there before it opened, before 8am, and there was already a line. The breakfast was awesome. The service was spot on, very attentive, and the food was delicious. Would be very interested in coming again for lunch/dinner, so I could try more things on the menu. This is probably a place, very similar to Pages Okra, that everything on the menu is delicious. Also, the grits are amazing.

This restaurant certainly is a must-go if visiting IOP. Our first attempt to walk up for reservations at 6 PM netted us a 2 hour wait time. We decided to go elsewhere, but grabbed takeout lunch from here the next day. We were pleasantly surprised with how good the food was. We ordered IOP shrimp and grits and corn beef hash and walked over to the beach for lunch. We had such a great lunch experience that we came back later in the week for dinner and put in our name for reservations at 5 PM. Our family went shopping down the street as we waited for our text alert. We were luckily able to sit outside under the covered patio area. The ambience of the restaurant is a typical beach like flair. The service was very good and we were always checked on by our server. For dinner we ordered the Carolina Duo and substituted Brussel sprouts for collard greens. Wow this was good and a huge plate of food. The beef was superb. We also ordered the Pecan-crusted Haddock. This was also excellent and recommended. Overall, this restaurant is excellent. The menu is vast and it's quite difficult to make a selection. I highly recommend trying one of the shrimp and grits meals. It was actually the best shrimp and grits meal I had on my entire Charleston visit and I tried a few others.

This restaurant has THE BEST Shrimp and Grits in Charleston. Yes it's a little removed on Folly island, but it's worth the drive! The grits were creamy, but not over buttered, and there was a ton of shrimp and sausages, perfectly blackened and seasoned (not over salty). The shrimp was so juicy and fat! We tried the Charleston Shrimp and Grits (there were 7 options total). The grits were complemented so well by purple onions and cherry tomatoes. We also tried the broiled seafood, which was haddock, shrimp, and scallops. There were 6 whole scallops good-sized, lightly cooked with butter and white wine. The shrimp in this dish was well done and there were a ton of pieces. The halibut special had a great peach salsa, and the fish was so tender! The sides we tried were: fried Brussels sprouts, fries, cornbread, and collared greens - all were delicious, using the freshest of vegetables. Our server was extremely patient, sweet, and knowledgeable about the menu. We were seated quickly. There's options for indoor seating, covered patio, and outdoor patio. There's free parking behind and in front of the restaurant.

Came here on my day trip to Charleston to see my cousin. It was such a cool little place. Nestled right next to some other restaurants and close to the beach in Isle of Palms, Acme Lowcountry boasts a huge menu of southern cuisine for brunch and other meals. I had to the Holy City Hash, which is extremely popular. It comes with a drizzled Gouda on top of fried eggs, home fries, and an in house braised corned beef that holds so much flavor. Our server was great. Had good recommendations and awesome service for us. Overall would definitely try this place if you're taking a day beach trip out in Isle of Palms!

Another great return visit here! We made a reservation, but they keep 60-70% of their restaurant open for walk ins at all times (according to their website). I ordered pancakes with sausage. The pancakes were cooked to perfection and tasted so good. Our server was very nice and all the dishes came out quickly. This place is bright and buzzing with customers. Highly recommend if you're looking for a local breakfast place in Isle of Palms.
