    Personal sampler with cornbread, collards, mac and cheese, naked ribs, spicy sausage, and brisket
    N B.

    Was up in Williamsport to try a case. Couldn't head home due to the massive snow storm making the PA turnpike a nightmare. Spent the night and found this gem. Went with the "personal" sampler. I opted for the naked ribs, brisket, sausage, cornbread, collards and mac and cheese. These were all great choices. The naked ribs of course were without sauce. The ribs were solid - not the best I've had but solid. I'd get them again. Perhaps a tad more smokiness would push them over the top. Ahhh the brisket - perfection. Flavorful and tender. And then there was the sausage. Kudos to Acme for not shunning sausage like a lot of bbq places do. I had the spicy sausage and it was delicious. Let me say the "personal" sampler is really enough to feed two...or as in my case.... have plenty of leftovers to chow on while snowed in at the Holiday Inn drinking beer and watching Netflix. Ha. The sides were good too. The cornbread was nicely done and just a tad sweet which compliments the ribs well. The mac and cheese was just right and the collards...wow. BEST collards I've had from a bbq joint. For both those that eat in or carry out there are plenty of sauce bottles to use. I went with the blueberry infused sauce and the Carolina. Blueberry was interesting but the Carolina is where its at! Great place.

    Acme barbecue is a hidden gem on Williamsport. Come here hungry and leave full of meats, sides, and your favorite Pepsi products. The ribs were delicious and the brisket tender. The restaurant also has 8-10 sauce flavors to pair with your meal, I would suggest trying a little of each to find your favorite. Limited seating inside - however there is a back deck (I assume it's outside) but you can also cater.

    This place needs to be open everyday of the week. Great food. Nice portions. My first time having a deep fried potato salad thought It was excellent.

    I think I can safely say that I have tried a lot of BBQ in my travels. From Tennessee BBQ to SC, NC to Texas BBQ. I have had a lot. So it surprises me to find a BBQ place in the middle of PA. It was very unexpected when I saw it listed close my hotel. I had to try to see whether it sizes up to southern BBQ. I ordered ribs, pulled pork, and brisket. For sides - the mac and cheese and spicy green beans. I had to balance out all that meat! The portions are quite large. A platter can last at least 2 meals. You can get the ribs naked or with BBQ sauce. I ordered them naked to see how they would taste without all that sauce drenched. There were many sauces to choose from. The original ACME house bbq was my favorite. The ribs were spicy I have to say. It is a bit dry without the sauce. The brisket was not as juicy as I expected but okay. I did enjoy the mac and cheese and spicy green beans. They were the highlight. The pulled pork was also a bit dry was okay. For the middle of PA, this was a decent place. However, I am afraid to say it does not match that of true southern BBQ.

    The Sticky Elbow had a big menu and even bigger portion sizes…read more My bartender and server was great. She gave generous pours, solid recommendations, and constant smiles. Despite being one of the few patrons in the restaurant, my order took quite some time to come out. Drinks were made instantly, but I finished two before my entree arrived. The bathroom was strangely the only sticky element of the establishment. *Ribeye: huge 18 ounce ribeye served with sweet potato fries and creamed corn. Although I asked for medium rare, the edges leaned closer to medium well. That said, the steak was thoroughly seasoned and tender throughout. The sweet potato fries were heavily seasoned with sea salt, though the potatoes themselves were sweet enough to balance it out. The creamed corn was the most pungent and watery component. I wished the sauce had been thickened more, as it pooled underneath the steak and softened the bottom crust. Overall, this dish was hefty and a steal for the price. *Frost Bite: one of the seasonal mixed drinks. The Malibu and pineapple juice gave this a pina colada style profile. The blue curacao added a striking snowy appearance, though the drink itself leaned quite sweet. *Jingle Juice: another seasonal option, though this one packed a stronger alcohol punch. The tequila was more prominent, while the peach schnapps helped soften the edge. However, the cranberry and orange juices were barely noticeable, so it did not quite deliver the spiked fruit punch profile I was expecting. I loved the generous portions and strong flavors. While the execution was not perfect, the large sizes and heavy pours still made this a jolly experience.

    Great food and service would recommend will be back soon !!! Place was busy too that says a lotread more

    Overall/ maybe worth stopping by again, but it'll be a tough sell to my husband, especially with…read moreother establishments in the area we know we like better, or would try. A kind of expensive stop for meh food and beer. Staff were amazing, so I feel slightly bad for a critical review. ---------------------------- Parking/ This started off the experience rocky for our vehicle. There seemed to be no specific parking dedicated to the brewery. There seemed to be a lot next door for the bank, but there was tons of signage saying it was for the bank, and others would be towed. There seemed to be street parking, but tons of signs saying no parking, loading zones, etc. After three trips around the block settled on the bank since it was Sunday. Had this been any other day, I could have seen us giving up and going elsewhere. Ambiance/ Very brewery-esque with tanks, natural vibes, etc. There was a live jazz trio playing who sounded lovely, but I just wasn't in the mood to try to talk over music, and asked to be moved further away. It seemed like the general feel, many were sat in main bar area, and asked to move back. Staff/ Every single staff member was super friendly, helpful, prompt, and trying to make your experience go well, so super shout out to the staff. Food/ We were stopping through the area around lunch time, so we didn't need anything crazy, but if you weren't getting breakfast or a burger, there wasn't much else. We both ordered a burger (All American and the breakfast/fried egg one). The All-American was good and I upgraded to fries. Breakfast burger was "good enough" I'm told. The chips that come with the burgers are just bagged kettles chips and not homemade. Beers/ We actually came in thinking we weren't going to drink, but were suckers for trying new things. Husband had an IPA and I had a fruited sour. Neither of us liked our beers, and I purposely made sure to drink mine before finishing my food so I didn't have to end with it. Price/ I don't know the area well but beers were $7-$8 for 10 oz pours. For two burgers, one with bagged chips and one with upgraded fries, and 2 not good beers, our bill was $50+. Which isn't terrible, but I could find better places to eat for that price point.

    High on the Frog…read more Locally-owned and operated brewery and brewpub that's been in operation for nearly forty (ca. 1986) years. They're located in the heart of Downtown Williamsport and bring their A game when it comes to food and brews. The Good: *Great location right across from the theater (we were there to see a graduation) *Friendly service *Small dog-friendly front patio *Live music *Sunday Brunch *Fried Pierogis were delicious and served up hot and fresh. I wish they were a little more seasoned, as the mashed potato filling needed more salt. But ain't that the way taters always is? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ *Carissa loved her Korean BBQ Salmon Salad, as the fish was cooked perfectly and the house KBBQ sauce was delicious. *Huge draft list of housemade beers, ciders, and even sodas. *My Pittsburger was epic! Talk about a meal in one handful: burger, slaw, and fries all packed neatly between two soft pillowy buns made this a Man vs Food episode in the making. The Meh: *Free but limited street parking. There are several small lots adjacent but I'm not sure what their limitations are. The Ugly: *The place can fill up fast, especially if there's an event/show at the aforementioned theater. Conclusion: Great beer, ambiance, and food. Say less.
