Best WLM Reviews
First time visiting and was very happy! Great cocktails to start, followed by delicious Brussel sprouts. The fried chicken is to die for and the pulled pork dish is really yummy!
High quality, hyper local modern take on southern classics! Highlighting seasonal ingredients that will make you coming back for more. Was fortunate to come in the high of tomato season. Had a wonderful appetizer showcasing the best of NC produce, paired with fantastic local cheese and a house made pesto. Mains were wonderful as well! The fried chicken is a must and the smoked hog is a true masterpiece. Only frustration of the evening was being full from the app and main course so i cant tell you how amazing the desserts would had been! Oh and also highlight a great NA drink menu as well as a ton of creative cocktails. One of the top spots I've tried in the triangle.
Great local place with a rotating menu featuring local specialities based on the season, plus plenty of menu staples that stay on year round. The wedge salad is innovative and big enough to serve four. The pecan crusted fried chicken is an all time winner. And the Forever Roasted Pig - pulled pork with mac and cheese, fried green tomatoes, and slaw - is one of my favorite dishes of all time.
Came in on a Friday afternoon for a dinner date. Nice atmosphere and parking is relatively easy to find if it’s after 6pm- just park behind the buildings. Short ribs were fork tender and chimichurri was on point. We also ordered the pulled pork plate that came with slaw, Mac n cheese and some fried green tomato croutons. Serving size was generous. Food was delicious. Service was slow- took about 10 minutes to even get drink service, but server was very friendly- for 2 dinners and no apps, took 1.5 hours, which seemed excessive. I will still come back.
The good: Food is really good and consistent. The patio is one of our favorite spots. (With so much good weather here, I wish more restaurants had shady, covered patios.) We order the pig, fried chicken and gumbo most times. All wonderful! I wish there were more vegetarian options, but you can order sides to make a plate. Tiny fried green tomatoes are heaven and in the summer, the BLT plate.
Could be better: service is always kind of meh? They usually don’t clean plates off the table or bring a check in a timely manner. It’s not enough to keep me away though. Would
love more cocktail selections and for them to change seasonally. (More vodka drinks please) Also, and this is the only big one- while the mains are phenomenal, the desserts are lacking. Tried key lime pie twice and it is not good. Super bitter and that crust is not giving enough. Where’s the flaky crust desserts? Their strawberry shortcake is good in summer though.
Overall, give it a try! Brunch is a favorite and LOVING their current $10 selections. It’s a regular for us for a reason.
Acme Food & Beverage uses the best fresh ingredients to create their offerings. Chef Kevin Callaghan made our Film Fest 919 crew my favorite dish, Shrimp & Grits, (arranged ahead of time). Hands down...THE BEST I've ever tasted. Beautiful decor, excellent service, creative choices, fun place and outstanding food. The State Fair Menu was fun as well, who knew Frito Pie would taste so great. Can't rave enough about this amazing dining experience.
We went here for a dinner with friends. Our food was good however based upon the other restaurants in the vacinity the food is priced about 20% too high. Our server was nice and our plates were cleared promptly however we all only had one drink as our waiter never asked if we wanted another. Overall based upon the price and the other good food options close by Acme likely will not enter our regular meal rotation.
GET THE TOMATO PLATE! Or anything with tomatoes, it’s tomato season after all and Acme knows how to pick ‘em. So… tomato plate, tomato pie, tomato risotto, tomato peach salad, you name it.
We also loved the cornbread but make sure to her extra butter. Other highlights were the Brussels sprouts and the Mac and cheese (unfortunately you can’t get it on its own… Acme should fix this).
The patio is lovely! Great ambiance. Can’t wait to try brunch here when they start serving it again.
