Having been to Johnny Rockets, Bubba Gump Shrimp n other Halal or pork free Western restaurants I kinda lost hope in ever finding good food in these kind of establishments. The food is mediocre at best best and when the bill comes u start questioning the decision to spend RM50 on an average tasting meal.

imma sorry to say this but im starting judge a western restaurant by the majority ethnicity of the patrons. as much as i dun like doing it, this method seems to work.

Any suggestions for good Halal/pork free western restaurants ?

friend's bday coming up n we don't want to end up at TGIF or Chillis ever again.

you call them western restaurants i call them fast food restaurants.

try Cozy House if you want a taste of traditional Malaysian Western Restaurant, or Victoria station.

It depends on what kind of food you're planning to eat. Steak? Pasta?

Chillis tastes alright, but the prices seem expensive for what it is.

Only been to Tony Roma's and TGIF less than a handful of times. Chillis seem to be more attractive somehow.

Not sure how to compare others though. These 3 seem like western/southern diner chains.

when i think of those places, dry tasteless grilled chicken fillets will come to mind.

I think Acme South can fall into the same category as Chillis/Tony/TGIF. Though the portion is less and the prices are about on par.

But doesn't give the diner feel.

As for Johnny Rockets burger diner kind of food, I think Carls Jr tops them. There's Cali burger in Avenue K, but yet to try.

Acme South was a bad experience for me. went to the Bangsar one.

ordered some southern breakfast platter dish. one of the worst western breakfasts i ever had. d cook damm noob. RM30 summore.

I gotta agree that the food isn't fantastic for what you pay. I feel that it tries to make southern food look slightly more classy but kinda failed.

the description in d menu said hash browns n beef brisket. so i imagined 2-3 big pieces of hash browns with beef. d actual dish was fried potato cubes (almost mashed up) with tiny chunks of beef sweat.gif

d waiters hardly speak english.

but i did like the interior tho n d nice windows that open up at the smoking section. shud be cool lepaking there at night.

Yeah, the automatic open up windows at smoking section is cool.

Agree on the waiters communication. Overall, I think Acme South is worth the try once or twice - nothing to shout about. I rather eat some greasy, oily, deep fried food from Chillis.

i had no idea about Acme South. but i always had d impression that d original Acme was good. so my expectations were high. when i tasted d food i facepalm.
