    The basement is a fun place to hang out and people watch. On Sunday's there's karaoke. You can get a beer and a shot for $5 but they pick the brand. If you want to get some bar food the potato skins are a good choice. Once and awhile they forget your food order but the drinks are always flowing. Parking can be a pain but if you go at the right time most of the other businesses are closed. Love that CVS is right there if you need anything. Bonus is the arcade games. The claw, basketball, shooting games, pinball and Pac-Man to name a few. They even have a gum-ball machine for an old school gum-ball.

    Wagyu Beef Hot Dog with Tater Tots  Hot dog toppings included chili, onions, melted cheese, mustard - fantastic!!

    Returned as promised and sat at the bar this time. Service was very attentive and friendly! Had the Wagyu Beef Hot Dog special (1 for $8 and 2 for $14) and it was terrific!! Accompanied by a huge portion of perfectly done Tater Tots and an Edmunds Oast Pale Ale. Thursday nite is Quiz Night - crowded and lots of fun!! Terrific dive bar in North MP

Smash burger and a beer for $10??? Awesome! Plus the girls played Mortal Combat for the first time. Bonus. Sub-Zero Wins!!!

    It's a cool place in this side of town. Small arcade and a local bar feel. The food is unexpectedly good. I will and have returned.

    Acme Lowcountry Kitchen - Two Lighthouses with four sides. All delicious.

    There's something about the name "Acme" and good seafood when it comes to coastal restaurants…read more Along the Gulf, you think of Acme Oyster House. On the coastal Atlantic, we recommend Acme Low Country Kitchen. You get five-star food in a rustic setting that could benefit for a bit of a makeover -- but only a touch or two. Excellent service compliments the food. On our plate: The "Light: House, including sauteed shrimp, seared scallops and a house-made, fresh crab cake that comes with a caveat that a shell chip or two might be mixed (we call that authentication). All were perfectly prepared and ample sized. This wasn't a shrimp-and-chips drive-through; this was a meal. Our sides: Collards (this is the low country) and fried Brussel sprouts, again well prepared. Price: $38.25 and among the higher-priced items on the seafood-heavy menu but worth it. Others in our party, including two non seafood eaters, chose the pecan fried chicken (two breast with one each going home because of the size) with another going with the Carolina Duo of the chicken and short ribs. Will we return? Yes. There are other options we've yet to try as our visits to Charleston increase but this was a real treat. Even better, it is near the fabled Dingy beach bar where we ducked in to watch the Kentucky Derby. We could spend our retirement years at The Dingy but that's another review to come. Acme is a 4.5-star review with the only points shaved because it just needs a little updating (after the season, perhaps). The food and service more than make up for it.

    Well bless it, I don't even know where to begin with what happened to us this Easter at ACME…read moreRestaurant on Isle of Palms. We walked in and the place was emptier than a church on a Wednesday night, yet somehow we were told to head on over to the bar, wait for a table, and go ahead and order ourselves a drink. Didn't make much sense, but we did as we were told. Then we stood there a good 10 minutes while the bartender, who let us know he's studying to be a dentist up in Spartanburg, was busy chatting away with another customer like we weren't even there. When he finally got around to us, it felt like we were more of an inconvenience than paying customers. But the real kicker came after we finally got our drinks. The manager came up, and I kid you not, told us we had to leave the restaurant and go out to the parking lot to finish them. No explanation, just attitude, and not a polite one either. To be honest, the manager seemed like she might have had a little too much Easter spirit, if you catch my drift. The whole interaction was downright combative and made us feel completely unwelcome. What really got me, though, was the poor hostesses and waitstaff. They apologized to us over and over and quietly let us know this kind of situation is something they deal with on a daily basis. We even heard her speaking sharply to another customer, which made it clear this wasn't just a one time issue. Honestly, the whole experience felt like a bad trip to the dentist and cost about the same as a root canal. All in all, it was a mess from start to finish, rude, confusing, and about as un Southern hospitality as you can get. I would think twice before going back, y'all.

    True low country gem! Terrific seafood options - fried, grilled or blackened. Great range if…read moresides. Feels like you are in someone's kitchen....but there are lots of others dining beside you . Friendly and attentive service. Legit and local!

    Dirty --Food Just Ok--Restroom a joke--Won't EVER be Back…read more The Hush Puppies were over cooked and GREASY. The Calamari rings were the smallest ever served to us. The Fish was good. But the place was Dirty along with the soup spoons. (felt gritty). And if you looked up and saw the air duct vent and ALL THE DUST hanging from it; it's wonder it didn't drop on our food. And you might not believe this but the girl at the next table yelled look what is walking across the floor. I'll just leave that to you imagination. Think the need a few traps. (not a small one ) The bathroom (which is outside the building ) had hardly enough space to sit without hitting your head. And to pull up your pants you have to turn sideways and make sure your not standing on the toilet platform at the same time. Pity the fat person. NO JOKE And WATCH OUT for the tip rates prefigured on the check. The tip is supposed to be a certain percentage of ONLY the food . Not the Sales Tax or even the credit card surcharge amount . This place figures the tip on the entire bill cost based on credit card payment. NEVER WILL I BE BACK ; OR RECOMMEND TO A FRIEND Disclaimer: because everything about this place in my review is so negative; I state that the above is all my opinion, you have to decide for yourself.
