I've been wanting to try this place out, I ordered the catfish, corn and fries box originally…read more Customer service is good, they're very laid back. The catfish is made fresh to order which takes a little bit of time but the wait wasn't horrible. The fish was hot but just alright. The Cajun corn was just straight corn out of the can but I got it replaced with greens which were very tasty! The portion size is VERY tiny though for the price. The fries are frozen shoestring fries but the seasoning was very tasty! I want to try the chicken wings if they still have them whenever I come back to the Pizitz but no rush to get back.

Like many food trucks who eventually find a more permanent home, Broad Street Peaux Boys is no…read moredifferent and now has a home in the Pizitz Food Hall in downtown Birmingham. Occupying the space previously used by Spoon and Ladle, Broad Street is next to Uno Tacos and across from J Wings. A native of New Orleans, Kelli Caulfield was raised in Birmingham and never forget her fondness for New Orleans food and culture. So much so that she started a New Orleans themed sno-ball "truck" called NOLA Ice in 2011. Six years later, she added another venture to her resume and started the Broad Street Peaux Boy food truck. It's success has now lead to this location in the Pizitz Food Hall. By the way, I love the clever spin on the spelling and pronunciation of "poboy" to "peaux boy". Unlike Walk-On's or Pappadeauxs, the menu at Broad Street Peaux Boys is short and delectable. It has the basics such as chicken and sausage gumbo, red beans and rice and chicken and sausage pasta jambalaya (or pasta-laya). This menu also has some changes from their food truck menu, but their peauxboys are basically the same. Broad St is proud of their "overstuffed" peauxboys as advertised on their menu and website. All their peauxboys are "dressed" with lettuce, tomato and pickle on french bread and served with your choice of chips or cajun fries with one additional side of dirty rice, cajun corn, or collard greens. Their choices of Peauxboys include: The Parkway is their classic fried shrimp, catfish peauxboy. The Hot Boy is a lemon pepper "hot" catfish on french bread. If you like your catfish blackened and covered with their remoulade sauce, try the Parkway. The Cassie is their classic fried shrimp but tossed in hot buffalo sauce then topped with blue cheese crumbles and ranch on french bread. Finally the Hollet is a peauxboy made with roast beef in their special au-jus sauce. Beyond Peaux Boys, they have what they call Broad St Boxes which include Shrimp Box, Catfish Box, and a Catfish n Shrimp Box. There's even a Broad St Salad Box which can be served with your choice of catfish or shrimp. These are also served with a choice of sides and hushpuppies. Studying their menu, I had planned on trying the gumbo, red beans and rice, and a shrimp peaux boy. Unfortunately that didn't work out as planned because when I arrived, the kitchen was shutting down. They were closing early due to impending storms. Although most everything was already put away, the last employee there felt sorry for me and offered to cook some simplified boxes for me. I couldn't say no so I got a shrimp box and a catfish box. Both only had cajun fries. The catfish and shrimp were both fried in the same "fish fry" powder. The catfish filet was a nice size and fried perfectly. The batter wasn't thick but just enough to seal in the oil and juices of the catfish. The catfish was oh so good. Yom Yom Yom. It wasn't too salty or overly covered in a thick batter... just the way I like it. The fries were on par and complimented the catfish and shrimp. The shrimp box had about 8 large shrimp that were also fried to perfection. With the same delicious light "crust" that meets your taste buds first, you then taste the inviting shrimp underneath. I'm quite sure that the shrimp that's used in their peaux boy will be cooked the same way so I'm trying to imagine how these shrimp would taste sandwiched between their french bread and dressed with tomatoes, lettuce and pickle with possibly mayo or remoulade sauce. It was torture trying to imagine that so that's why I'm definitely returning. I'm not a big roast beef peauxboy kindaguy, but I may even try the Hollet. If you fancy sno-balls, feast your eyes on all the different flavors that NOLA Ice has to offer right under the same roof. Also owned by Caulfied, it made sense for NOLA Ice to also be there next to Broad St Peaux Boys to tickle your taste buds. Broad St Peaux Boy may not be a big place, but they have big flavors. Nothing fancy about their silverware or dishes since everything is served in disposable containers, but their food is cooked fresh and to perfection. Don't forget that they still have a food truck and they cater. Welcome to the Pizitz Food Hall, Broad St Peaux Boys!

We have eaten here a few times and the food is always excellent. I have tried the regular po boy…read moreand the Vietnamese crawfish po boy and they were great. The gumbo is also very good and my toddler loves the hush puppies. Service is fast and the ambiance is casual and a little eclectic. This is my toddler's favorite restaurant because of the giant werewolf statue in front of the restaurant. Great restaurant overall and looking forward to visiting again soon.

My husband and I finally got a chance to try this place out and have a much needed lunch date…read more It was Friday afternoon, so it was understandably busy. We sat outside and enjoyed eyeing all the eclectic decor. We waited a while before we got our drinks, but that margarita was worth the wait. One of the best I've ever had! I loved that it had a nice bit of spice. Our food was absolutely delicious We shared sandwiches and an order of fries and before we were done we already made plans to be back soon. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. Our favorite was definitely the Viet Cajun.

This would be my go-to 'I miss the beach' shrimp basket fix. They do gulf coast cajun really well,…read morewith the vibe to boot. This is the Forest Park location, which looks like a run down, weathered house in a very New Orleans charming way. Service is good. Fast-casual, you order at the counter. They've got beer, cocktails, iced tea, etc. I love the vibe here. Would be great to sit outside on an autumn evening. The sauces (tartar, cocktail, remoulade) are all very tasty.

This was my first time trying food from this location. I stopped for gas at the station next door…read moreand decided to follow my curiosity and my stomach. There is no indoor dining, so it is takeout only. There are a few chairs and a bench inside for waiting, which works just fine. Since it was my first visit, I asked what they sell the most of. I was told wings and fish are the top picks, so I went with the catfish nuggets and fries. And because I have a very real and very serious sweet tooth, I also grabbed a slice of red velvet cake. I asked how fresh the desserts were and learned they are not made in house but delivered. The response felt a little rude, but hey, we are all human and the food more than made up for it! Let me tell you, the food came out HOT and DELICIOUS. I ate every single French fry. Even the tiny little baby fries hiding at the bottom of the container. Zero survivors. That says a lot. I also chatted with another customer who said he works in the area but lives in Montgomery. He tried this place once out of curiosity and now comes back regularly. That alone speaks volumes about the quality and consistency. The interior could definitely use a little TLC, but overall I was very satisfied with my first experience. I will absolutely be back.

They recently changed ownership and name. It's now called Wings Spot instead of Shark's…read more Located on the Northwest corner of Greensprings and Oxmoor, Wings Spot is very near I-65, next to a Burger King and shares the same building as a Shell station. Parking is a bit tight since the Shell station is basically on location. There's no drive thru so you'll have to park and go inside. I don't believe I've ever stopped to get gas at this Shell which explains why I've never been here to eat until now. As mentioned, this location is under new leadership which may explain why they don't have any dine-in tables in the lobby area. There's a small drink station to the right where you can fill you own cup with soda, lemonades and tea. Directly in front of the entrance is a small sliding plastic opening where place your order. The person who took my order was very nice and helpful. He even suggested a combo which saved me some money when I wanted to get a catfish meal and a side of wings. The menu is what I would equate to one of the Wings R King places. They have a bit of everything including salads. The only thing they're missing are hot soups. Otherwise you can get fish, shrimp, chicken, philly steak, cheeseburgers, fries, okra, cole slaw, baked beans, even a grill cheese sandwich just to name a few. Oh they have a recently added new wings flavor Spicy Peach. I opted for a fried catfish, okra, and bone-in wings. He handed me my empty styrofoam cup and I made myself a drink while I waited. They were fast and I had my to go order in under 10 minutes. Everything is to go but there is a small bench and a couple of chairs for you to sit if you don't want to return to your car to wait. The fried okra was fried nicely. The wings were breaded and fried and tasted pretty good. They gave me a nice sized catfish filet. It was seasoned and flash fried to perfection. The taste on it was pretty good too. It is definitely best eaten fresh out of the fryer and I only lived about 10 mins away. The three items that I brought home were good and I wouldn't mind returning if the mood struck.

Great brunch and even better service!…read more We nearly missed the 2p brunch cutoff, but our waitress got us seated right away so we could get our orders in. That kind of hospitality goes a long way! We tried the blueberry pancakes with sausage, the buttermilk pancakes, the Lamuese omelette, and the hashbrown sticks.

Can't wait to come back and try the brunch happy hour, with $6 mimosas and $7 Bloody Marys!

I started off with a pineapple, orange juice mimosa that was very delicious and refreshing. If you aren't already aware, this used to be an elementary school, which makes it even more interesting to me. I have the crabcakes Benedict as I've had before. It's so delicious with the hash brown sticks. As we were sitting, there did get busier however our server Jackie S was very attentive. I will definitely be back. I do like that they're white tablecloths as it makes it feel like a more fancier restaurant. I did visit the bathrooms, which are for all the businesses in this building and it was clean. If you haven't yet, been here for brunch or dinner I highly suggest checking it out.

RESTAURANT REVIEW…read more THE SPOT Kamali Creole Kitchen 611 Doug Baker Blvd Suite 205 Birmingham, AL 35242 Finally got the chance to visit Kamali's restaurant and I just want to go ahead and state that the people overhyped it for sure now the ambiance is EVERYTHING!! It gives a real classy vibe. Cute dinner date vibes. I also love the fact that it is black owned They have a happy hour that comes with a free bowl of spinach dip if you order a drink off Food Spinach Dip (Spinach and cheese, topped with parmesan cheese and green onions. Served with toasted French bread) Kamali's Platter (Fried catfish, shrimp, oysters, crab cakes, fries, side salad, and hushpuppies) Mini Margarita (A mini version of our signature margarita) St. Charles Streetcar (Bourbon mixed with a blend of orange & pineapples with a splash of grand mariner) Let's talk about it!! So the drinks weren't really hitting. I could've done without but they were only $5.00 for happy hour and came with the complimentary spinach dip. The mini margarita was decent and the St. Charles was very interesting. I was underwhelmed with my seafood platter. The catfish and fries were the best thing on the plate. Honestly, the fries. They're like those Arby's curly fries. Yum yum! The shrimp was also good but I could've used a few more pieces of it. The fried oysters were a no for me as well as the crab cakes. The crab cakes came in a ball form so that was different. The salad was good. It was just a regular house salad but it did what needed to be done. The hushpuppies were missing from my plate so I'm not sure how those taste but I assumed they substituted them with some more of the toasted French bread. Whew, they give you plenty of bread!! LOL. If you're in the mood for oysters, you may want to call and make sure they have them before you drive allllllll the way down Highway 280. They were out when my friends and I went so that was a bummer. Would I go back? Probably not! However, its's definitely worth a try for the experience. Check it out if you're ever in the area.

Went for a large order today and got to try a…read morelot of their food - gumbo, dirty rice, jambalaya, yaka mein, voodoo wings, shrimp, catfish, pound cake, gooey gooey cake, and peach krack. Waited almost an hour for the food, but they make a lot of the things fresh so a longer wait is likely unavoidable. Voodoo wings and peach krack were my favorites out of the meal. Wings had a slight kick and a lot of crunch. The peach krack was kind of like diluted peach syrup....but good, haha. The pound cake needs work as it was really dry....probably has been sitting for awhile. Rest of the food were fine...nothing that stands out as particularly good or bad. While I am not likely to make a special trip in the future just to eat at Kamali, I am not opposed to get some more of their wings and peach krack if I happen to be close by during meal times. Staff was SUPER nice and was definitely a positive of the experience!
