Previously centered around bar food and Tex-Mex cuisine, Acme Lowcountry Cantina is now serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily with flavor profiles that exemplify fresh local ingredients with a strong presence towards seafood. The restructured lunch and dinner menus combine elements of traditional Lowcountry cuisine with classic cantina fare offered in a casual beach atmosphere. Additionally, there are weekly specials that include an Early Bird Special weekdays, Kids Eat Free on Mondays and Lobster Night on Thursdays.

“We are concentrating on more of what our market demanded, which is high end cuisine at reasonable prices combined with casual, yet flavorful menu items,” said Executive Chef Frank Kline. “For those seeking a tasty bite at the beach, our restaurant has completely changed our focus, food, attitude and atmosphere.”

Now he uses his vast experience to create the best overall dining experience for his clientele. An award-winning chef, Frank’s focused style is the new Southern movement of creating immense flavor from fresh, local ingredients.
