http://www.acmebarandgrill.com/ It is near my home and I have walked by several times. The fried catfish was very good with a cornmeal crust, the coleslaw, and macaroni and cheese were also prepared well . Me, I am menu inept and always ordering the wrong thing. The po' boy comes several ways and I chose half shrimp and half oyster. I could not really tell what was shrimp and what was oyster, it was kind of a cornmeal breaded deep fried mess. I picked it apart and found a few shrimp and ate them. I did not cause a fuss and spoke to our server, she took it off the bill with no problem. I really did not expect this since I didn't say anything immediately.
Correct restaurant dining etiquette dictates you speak to your server when you know there is a problem. Good manners are important, explain what is not right, be polite, not impossible, and insist it is taken care of. If you are dismissed by someone who tries to make you feel uncomfortable then all rules are off and deal with things as you see fit. With restaurants on every corner and most struggling to stay in business you should not be treated poorly.
This is not the case with Acme. It is a little expensive, it would have been around 60.00 without tip if charged for the sandwich, but good.
Very important, when something is taken off the bill, for whatever reason, your tip should reflect what the total would have been. Servers work hard and a good portion of their wage comes form the tip you leave. Do not make them suffer.
One more thing. I ordered coffee after the bill came, very good, hot and strong, and our server said there was no charge. They get my recommendation and I am sure I will return.
As always I look foward to your questions or comments. M.
