Nola Ice-Broad St Peaux Boys at the Pizitz Food Hall

Friendly staff. Clean area. Couldn't stop eating it getting to my destination. Fries are well seasoned and have crunch. Seasoned shrimp takes me back to Nawlins!!! Great food, only thing i would add is bigger hushpuppies and make your own tarter sauce with your skills for seasoning! Awesome!

Me and some friends was on a trip to Alabama for the weekend found this wonderful food hall with all kinds of different foods.
As we walked and looked around at all the different foods Nola stood out!
The 2 young men that were in there was the best they guided me and my friend through things I had the shrimp box and my friend had the fish box and wings. Everything thing was beyond delicious and the sauce OMG yall look it up and place your orders my 2 bottles are on the way.

There was no line. Food came out fast. I'm from New Orleans and was disappointed in the Peaux Boy. The shrimp was fine but it came with cherry tomatoes on very small bread. I can only assume it was a Pistolette and not a French Loaf. The sides were old. And my snowball came out after my meal. It was also a very odd texture. Somewhere between shaved ice and the snow of home. If you are a LA native this may not be the authentic experience you're looking for.

Great snow cones.

Amazing food

I had high hope for this place.My wife and I are from New Orleans living in Brimingham hoping to get some New Orleans style food and a snowball.But the snowball machine was broken or they just didn't wanna make them but I don't know.My wife's red beans were over cooked .The dirty rice that wasn't dirty rice,just nasty rice. They were literally out of everything we wanted to order. But on a good note, my chicken strips were good and the fries, but still very disappointed. It costs me 33 dollars to be disappointed . I will go back to hopefully get a snowball New orleans style but will not purchase the food again. People from birmingham may think that the food is good but being from New Orleans we know it ain't right

Last time I tried Peaux Boys, it was great! Unfortunately, today I asked for the Coterie with catfish but was given fried oyster instead. It was very kind of the staff to show me the food but I didn’t realize the difference (fried stuff look similar) until after I got back to my place. I also asked for the red beans and rice, but was very disappointed in the taste. They tasted like there was no seasoning at all and the beans were not cooked fully. The only good thing were the fries. I would want to come back and try this place again but $20 is a lot of money that I could spend elsewhere.

Oh yeah this the spot right here. I greeted the folks up front and they were patient with explaining what things were and even offered me another option even though I was content. I appreciate that education!

I waited about 10 minutes for my food and it was so pleasant when I got it! The presentation, the temperature, the quality… I really enjoyed that food. And it didn’t get really messy. The fries oowee, weren’t over salted either. And the tenderness and crisp of the catfish was exactly as it needed to be.

Can’t forget about the collard greens. They were a good balance between bitter and tart and then sweet. I haven’t had greens like that in a minute and it was a pleasant surprise.

Thank y’all and I look forward to returning one day.

This place is located in a food hall, so you even have the option to sit in other places and see screens with tv showings, or combining another restaurant’s food together with your meal.

Vegetarian options: Their collard greens are good.

Ordered a large sno-ball and then waited for ten minutes while the cashier talked to a friend about finding a new job. Then they used old shaved ice from the bottom of the catch bin to make my soggy and crunchy sno-ball. The syrups were old and tasted like straight mold/mildew. I dumped it in the trash as I walked out the door.

The actual fried shrimp and stuff was good, and I REALLY liked their hushpuppies, but they serve fries that clearly come from a store bought frozen bag.

Also, despite mentioning it and them asking about it multiple times, they still messed up my order by putting on sauce I said I didn't want and taking off things I said I DID want. Thankfully I was with a friend who was more than fine with just swapping orders (and intentionally got something harder to mess up for this very reason).

Overall not really acceptable for a $20 meal.

Edit: Bumped it up a star since I can understand not having the space to make everything yourself (and technically not claiming to, I guess), but getting frozen stuff you can buy at the store from a restaurant is never going to seem right.

I ordered a shrimp poboy and yes I was good; however the dirty rice was not made from someone who knows how to cook rice. It was awful. I ask myself friend how were the red beans and rice they too were awful . If you can’t get the recipe right please take it off the menu it’s ok to just sell popboys

I really can't believe they're selling this to people. The rice and beans were cold with no seasoning whatsoever, not even salt. Literally straight out of the can. The rice was just crunchy bricks. Compared to everything else, the pork chop was fine since it was actually cooked.

My girlfriend ordered hushpuppies as her side. Instead of letting her know they were out, they just left them out and didn't mention it. When she went back and asked, they offered her more of the lukewarm rice she already had.

Considering we spent $40 on these barely edible meals, I would recommend skipping this place and at this point, the food hall altogether.

I just flew in from Chicago and was looking for a good meal around my hotel room. This place was suggested but a couple ladies in the food hall and it did not disappoint! The shrimp and catfish were AMAZING!

I am so disappointed. I’m from Birmingham now living out of state but came home for a visit. I wanted to try this place because of the food selection. I was here around 3:00 pm. wanted a fried catfish po boy with chips. So I went to the counter to order. Several people working behind the counter looked in my direction but no one came to take my order. Finally, a young lady took my order and asked what I wanted. I told her my order. She then proceeds to ask her other coworkers if someone wanted to make a fried catfish wrap. A young man behind the counter then tells me unprompted “ I’m off the clock”. I didn’t ask him that !!! The young lady comes back to the counter. At that point, I just say I ‘m out don’t worry about it. I don’t know who owns this business but the staff cost you business today.
