Acme South

The atmosphere in acme south is friendly and very open.
There are a couple of seating areas which are indoor and air conditioned, the outdoor patio where there are smoking and nonsmoking areas.
I tried the layered coffee which was cold brew coffee with condensed milk, honey and ice. The honey added a nice sweetness to the bitter coffee.
My brother and I ordered the curry lamb rice dish) I forgot the exact name). It was an ok dish. It’s tastes good but nothing wowed me. The rice was just briyani style rice, the lamb had a nice curry flavour though it was a bit chewy, the vegetable acar wasn’t to my liking but both my brother and mother liked it.
My mother ordered the chunky beef pie which came with mashed potatoes and mashed peas on top and mushrooms on the side.
The pie was divine, I can’t stress on how soft the beef was, how flaky the pastry and when you have a bite of the beef, pastry, mashed potatoes and mashed peas and the gravy from the pie, it’s like a taste of heaven.
We wanted to try the jambalaya but sadly it was sold out. The brisket and roast chicken is only served after 6pm.
Do give them a try though

Please do avoid this restaurant. I had a nasty experience of being verbally abused by the Operations Manager of Acme. I voiced my concern of the toilet door not being covered properly (there was a hole in the door). While I was using the toilet cubicle, I heard a male voice and saw hands & a measuring tape through the glass door. Instead of being professional and mature, he invalidated my concern and hurled profanities at me as I caught him in the restroom holding a measuring tape & talking on his phone. When a customer is insulted, it is not surprising to lose customers.

After visiting Acme at Troika a number of times and having it firmly listed as our go-​to brunch place, we decided to finally check out Acme South in Bangsar.
The décor is modern and stylish with an industrial feel made homely with comfortable leather seating and soothing greenery.
The menu highlight is definitely the onion fries which are ridiculously good! I would also say that the toasted sandwiches here are delicious and of course the coffee is some of the best around.

You will come for the brisket and stay for the amazing ambiance. Those for me were the highlights of my experiences in this restaurant.
They offer a menu inspired by southern US cuisine. That includes the most amazing beef barbecue I’ve had here in KL aside from the Brazilian restaurant Samba. The food is very well-​made and having visited the south of the US I found it quite accurate. The portions are big so you will benefit from coming with friends in sharing different dishes between you. The price is proportional can get the bit expensive depending on your choice. Service is good, and they also offer all day happy hour prices which is quite convenient.

I always wanted to try the branch in Troika but put it off for the longest time until they set up this branch right in Bangsar Village I. Acme South took over Garibaldi’s former lot and shares the same row as The Daily Grind.
I had high expectations for this place when i first heard about it and was sadly left disappointed. For the menu selections, it was rather bland and uninteresting — there was nothing that really stands out. And the prices here, please be warn — they are pretty astronomical. If you think Plan B is expensive, this place is even more pricey with the mediocre dishes.
I ordered the Parmesan Pot Chicken pie, which was so bland, and not worth the RM40, though i have to admit the fries were yummy. Just the fries. My friend’s order Toasted Chicken & Avocado Panini sandwich was pretty decent. But overall, the menu just doesn’t excite me.
Essentially, this is the sort of place you are paying for the ambience. It makes for a good cozy hangout. I love the overall vibe of the place — the black brick walls and the juxtaposition of the sexy leather seats. If i were to return, i would be back just for dessert and drinks.

Acme South is my fave place for breakfast/​brunch/​lunch. They serve Southern American style food like gumbo, hush puppies and Jambalaya
I usually order the brisket sandwich which comes with potato wedges. The sauces are interesting a trio of espresso, watermelon and onion vinegar, they just work somehow. I also love their spicy chicken wings.
One tip do not try the chicken waffles because honestly it is t worth it you could seriously make better at home.
They have a very nice concept for interior with dim romantic lighting.

A spin off from their Acme Bar and Coffee in KL, Acme South has opened in Bangsar Village 1 at the same spot that once used to be Garibaldi and it definitely aims to please. They definitely don’t serve your usual Western kind of food as I remember tasting many new dishes such as the Jambalaya which is a kind of rice dish. Their menu comprises of an American Southern styled cuisine. Do try the Hush Puppies which are actually friend cornmeal served with slabs of butter?! Don’t even bother coming here if you’re on a diet cause you’ll be missing out on some amazing food. Price here are a little steep so bear that in mind. However you can rest assured that you’re getting some quality grub.

I love the beautiful industrial interior design with the big lights on the ceiling. The entrance to this place has got a large door to give you this grand feeling of entering a poshy place.
The place is brightly lit with natural light during the daytime because of the big panel windows and it gets very dimly lit during the night. A pretty romantic atmosphere I should say.
For the beer lovers, this place offers happy hour all day long. They have plenty of cocktails to choose from and coffee for those who are designated drivers. The food is massive in size and price. The brisket cost RM49 per portion and the ribs is RM89 just to give you a price range. My friends and I tried out their BBQ meats and we all approved of the quality for the price.
Although this is a halal dining outlet, they do have plans to have a branch with all the porkilicous dish. This is a great place to eat and drink if you plan to spend.

It’s southern American cuisine that draws our attention to this place. Once you step in, the Southern influence is vivid borders on tackiness.
Barbecue beef briskets are the show stopper here with a rigid 24-​hour cooking method. Other appealing dishes include ribs, po’boy sandwiches and gumbo — all served in true Southern American fashion.
But the question is, are Malaysian ready for Southern cuisine? The subtlety of the cuisine isn’t for anyone. If you’re a Tex-​Mex lover, best stick to Chili’s.

Come here specifically for the beef brisket and Bloody Mary. Inspired by the revered BBQ culture of Southern America, Acme South dishes out mouthwatering Texan style staples amidst a surprisingly sophisticated setting. Creole and Southern staples like seafood jambalaya, blackened chicken and hearty po’ boy sandwiches all make an appearance but the standout of this place has to be the 12-​hour smoked beef brisket and/​or ribs. A carnivore’s wet dream, these babies are tender, robustly flavored and generous in terms of portion size. While it was a little on the dry side, I still really enjoyed this dish.
