A definite place of interest to check out if you're in the area. We finally stopped in to take a visit after we heard about the collard greens flavor. I got Greek! today and it was absolutely delicious and seasoned so well! Merchandise was cute, got a sticker to add to the collection. Industrial vibes for sure and want to stop back in for some hops. We did a pick up order and it was ready as soon as we stepped in.
Wonderful peanuts, boiled and roasted. They've added a bar so you can enjoy adult beverages and snack on nuts. Unique idea for a peanut production company.
If your looking for a place to hangout before having dinner downtown, I highly recommend Alabama Peanut. For those of you who have not been in awhile they now have a bar, and close around 6 or 7. We happened to stop in the night of one of the college playoff games. It was fun sitting at the bar having a beer and eating peanuts while we watched the game. We ordered the regular salted peanuts and mixed in the dark roasted unsalted peanuts. It was the perfect combination. The night we went the bartender made a koozie out of a peanut bag. It was a super cute idea, and added to the fun ambiance of the place.
First time trying this place, and I was really impressed with the customer service. The staff was very helpful, and I purchased a half-pound of both the regular and Cajun-flavored peanuts. I especially enjoyed the Cajun flavor.The place was really clean too. I honestly expected to walk into a floor covered with peanut shells like at places such as Texas Roadhouse or Logan's Roadhouse, but it was the complete opposite.
What a cool place and the vibe is just right. They have so many different flavors of boiled peanuts to try and it is just what you need for a unique Alabama treat when you are visiting Tuscaloosa. The service was great and the location is right in the heart of downtown T town so there's lots to do. Do yourself a favor and try it out!
I can't say enough good things about Alabama Peanut! This place was buzzing during my recent visit. Boiled peanuts, roasted peanuts, cold beers and bottled drinks. What's not to love! I love the hardworking staff. They always take care of me whenever I visit. I highly recommend coming here again and again!
I had never had boiled peanuts before, but I really enjoyed them. The Alabama Cajun were very salty, but the old bay and PBR were delicious! I would recommend getting the flight with two boiled peanut flavors and one roasted peanut for a sweet/salty combo. The tall PBR was only $3 which is a plus. Ambiance is vintage and cute. Service was quick.
Hadn't been here in a while and last time it was during the day. Love there peanuts. Not a boiled fan but a roasted fan. We arrived at a little before 6 pm. They close at 7pm. There was space at the bar so that is where we sat and ordered a beer and 2 pounds of roasted nuts one regular salted and one plain dark roast. We mixed them up for a variety. Our beers came and were served in a unique fashion that reminded me of the old Alabama liquor laws. They were served in a brown paper bag. They also placed a roasted peanut under the pop top. Cute. They had a wide variety of craft and local beers. Unfortunately the preponderance was IPA's which I don't care for. But they had 2 porters the Vanillaphant from Avondale brewing and the PBP from Back Forty. The PBP is a peanut butter porter so I selected that to go with the peanuts. The peanuts that they have available change quite frequently. They only had 4 roasted flavours to choose from on our visit. Plain dark roast plain regular roast, Cajun roast and salted regular roast. I dont care for it too salty so I generally mix the unsalted with the salted. Over the bar they have tv so you can watch a game etc as you enjoy your nuts. The place is really cool the building is old and probably hasn't changed in forever so the ambiance is unique. The bartender was great. He was helpful and friendly. We had a great time. Only wish it was open longer.
So I'm not exactly sure how I came across this place. However I was intrigued enough to plan a trip from Atlanta just to visit. Boy I'm glad I did. First I was impressed just on the fact someone could start a thriving business just on selling peanuts and beer. Plus I love boiled peanuts. By the time I got there I had pretty much studied there rotating menu. I chose 2 flavors. I let the bar tender choose the third. I chose garlic buffalo,mama's baked beans and the bar tender chose Collard greens. I'm not really much of a beer drinker. However I told the bar tender my recently discovered love of sour beer. They had a great selection. After we discussed a few things. She recommended one called lemon bars. I took a seat and soon my peanuts and beer arrived. My peanut selections turned out to be great. I liked them all,with mama's baked beans with a slight edge. However I would order any of the others again. The beer I chose was amazing. I swear it was almost like I was drinking a sour drink,not just a beer. I've joined their FB page so I can keep up with their daily offerings. There are other flavors of boiled peanuts I wanna come back and try. For those traveling by train or bus. This place is just a short walk from the station if you just so happen to have a layover. The place is obviously very good because during my visit,there was alot of customers. I look forward to returning.
The Alabama Peanut Company shop is located in a historic building in downtown Birmingham. They have been producing the snack since 1907 and it is pretty neat to see the old peanut roasting machine. The customer service from start to finish at the bar was excellent! They had a large selection of roasted and boiled peanuts that range from classic to various seasonings. The cajun roasted was probably my favorite. They also have a large canned beer selection.
What an awesome experience at a historic old peanut factory. The building is located in downtown Birmingham and was founded in 1907! My family wanted boiled peanuts and we drove for a few hours just so we could get experience boiled peanuts and roasted peanuts. Everything was excellent - the service was friendly and quite accommodating. The prices are very reasonable and this is a great place to hang out and grab a drink if you want to enjoy one while you eat some peanuts. The store also has some great merchandise for sale. Check them out online or in person downtown Birmingham. The building and area of downtown Birmingham are historic and include cobblestone streets out front. The historic facade of the building is an architectural stunner if you enjoy period building from the early 1900s. Inside, a stunning iron spiral staircase can be viewed, alongside the antique steaming vats and boilers which help create the delicious aromas and tasty peanut products for which this place is known!
Back in the day this was just a tiny hole in the wall called Peanut Depot. You'd go in and get a bag of peanuts and leave and that was it. It was cool because it was simple, easy, and you could get freshly roasted peanuts for pretty cheap. What a niche! Over time things can change, and it can be tricky when things change about long standing, niche spots that you may or may not remember from your childhood. The new owners nailed it with the changes they made to the old Peanut Depot. Everything that was there before is still there. The old vintage (cast iron?) roasters from back in the day, the quick and easy service, the good prices, the spicy Cajun roasted peanuts...all still there. Outstanding. And...on top of those things the new additions to the space have turned this into something that's actually much cooler with a whole new vibe. For one, they have a new name, The Alabama Peanut Company. They've added boiled peanuts in a variety of flavors, including some rare local flavor collabs with other businesses. They've added a bar with some seating and a good number of beverage options. They've got some branded merch for all who yearn to express their devotion to the peanut. The whole place has become much more than just a spot to pick up a bag of peanuts and I, for one, think that's awesome. If you're in the area you should definitely stop in and check out the space and take home some freshly roasted, (or boiled) goodness. You'll be glad you did.
I see my friends coming here all the time and was finally able to try it this past weekend! I came with my friend Victoria. They have a bar here too, but I didn't drink. I like that it's a place you can just go to with friends and hang out and not have to drink or order a full on meal if you aren't super hungry. I ordered a snack size portion of the dill flavored boiled peanuts. They were delicious! I can't wait to come back and try other flavors they have to offer! Service was great too with both workers checking on us pretty frequently!

So when a friend calls you up and asks, "Hey, you want to get some nuts?" you don't ask questions. You just get in the car and head straight to Alabama Peanut Co. Walking in, you're hit with the smell of brine and beer in the absolute best way possible. The vibe is simple and homey: check out the menu board, pick your peanuts, grab a beer, and sit back in anticipation. Since I couldn't make up my mind, I went with the sampler plate. The second I bit into the collard green brine peanut, it literally burst with flavor. I'm officially a changed woman and fully convinced boiled peanuts are the ultimate Alabama snack. My only tiny heads-up: the brine tasting station is a awesome idea, but a quick warning sign like "Careful with these bottles!" would be a lifesaver--I definitely managed to splash a bit on myself! Bottom line? The service was wonderful, the peanuts were incredible, and I'll definitely be dragging the rest of my friends back to this unique Birmingham gem. read more

This place was poppin' on a Saturday morning at 10:30! I guess now I have to admit that my friends and I were getting beer at 10:30.... If you've never had boiled peanuts before, or are visiting Birmingham, these are a must try. My go to are the cajun ones. And, btw, boiled peanuts are exactly what they sound like, and yes, they are delicious. You can also find them at gas stations, on the side of the road, or on the adorable Morris Ave in downtown Bham. This place kinda operates like a bar, you order at the counter and sit down at a table. They have dry roasted peanuts, too. Anything from here would make a great hostess gift. read more

Great stop on a short stay over! I'm not from Alabama, so I didn't even know this was a thing! I walked in and discovered what I was missing. The service was great. They told me all about the different kinds of tasty boiled peanuts. You can even taste local beers! I loved it! Great surroundings in the downtown area.

We came to town from Austin determined to find good boiled peanuts when we found the Alabama Peanut Company. The beautiful historical setting made the vibe perfect, a place you want to stay and hang out! The brine sample station, let you sample the flavors before ordering your peanut flight! The attention to detail is something to see and the friendliness of the staff is worth the visit! The next time we are in Birmingham, we will definitely visit this place again! Well done! read more
Wow! I wish I knew how great this place was sooner. I walked into the neatest shop filled with the smell of fresh boiled and roasted peanuts! They boil the peanuts right in front of you. I got garlic dill pickle and cubano and my boyfriend tried a pickled beer and it was tasty! These peanuts had amazing flavor! The service was amazing and fast. We sat right at the bar. TONS of beer selection and the music was on point! Oldie and goodie country tunes! Someone needs to have them at their next event! If you like spicy, they have strawberry Cajun and others! read more

I like boiled peanuts, but I LOVE Alabama Peanut's boiled peanuts! There is so much flavor in these little nuggets. We stopped by early in the day, so it was a little quiet at the bar, but there was still a steady stream of people popping in to get peanuts to go. The staff was accommodating, patiently answering the litany of questions from us. We were heading to the airport, and they were good about packaging our to-go peanuts for travel. We ended up sharing our peanuts with our flight attendants on our last leg, so we need to come back and get more. read more

Such a cool concept! My husband and I hung out and watched football here for several hours and the staff were all friendly. They have a great selection of beer and unique boiled peanut flavors. I had a flight with pickle, Cajun, and siracha lime- which ended up being my favorite. We will definitely be back. read more

There is a reason this place has almost a perfect score. We had the best time. We sat at the bar so we could watch the operation. They have several pots going boiling the peanuts and a roaster that is probably as old as the Al Peanut Co itself. They said they go through about 1000lbs of peanuts a week. That's a lot of nuts! Or ,I guess, legumes. The peanuts were delicious but what really made the experience was the staff. They were all so attentive. They gave everyone at the bar a couple of fresh roasted peanuts right out of the roaster. They gave us a small sampler of one of the flavors while we waited for another batch of what we ordered. They even showed us beers that were not in the menu. this is a great place for locals and tourists alike. you can certainly take the peanuts to go but it is way better to sit and stay awhile. read more

This is a must visit for everyone! Whitney's enthusiasm and love for the product are contagious. History at its finest. Order a flight, a soda or beer and enjoy! Don't forget to grab some for home. If you don't, you will regret it and have to make a second trip!!!! read more
If there is one thing that I enjoy eating, it is nuts! Love them! Alabama Peanut Company is on a cute cobblestone street that is one way. The employees are helpful and a hoot. I enjoyed them all very much. The merch is great. The peanuts are absolutely wonderful. We over ordered. We got Cajun boiled, salt boiled, unsalted regular peanuts, and dark roast peanuts. I also got a Coke in a bottle to try the famous treat of nuts in your Coke. We ended up sitting on two chairs outside the APC and ate a bunch of nuts and fed the pigeons, like an old married couple. It was the best time. I enjoyed the Coke with nuts. I'll continue that up north. The boiled peanuts were hard to eat. I learned you don't eat the entire shell, after a couple. Then it got better, when I sucked the brine out and spit out the shell. I got the softest t-shirt there. Again, their merch is spectacular. I loved the interior vibes, as well as the exterior. You have to stop here. If you are in the area of Alabama, stop here. Parking is pretty terrible. Luckily, we found a metered spot a block down and someone had fed the meters, so we had some time and didn't have to pay. We went on a Saturday. Downtown was pretty dead, but you have to pay no matter what. read more

Peanuts and beer...what's not to love? This place was unique and exactly what we needed. We were tired and needed a snack and a beverage and this hit the spot. I got the Taco Bell, Wickles And salt and vinegar. My husband got Cajun salt and vinegar and buffalo ranch. I didn't know that I would like them because I typically don't eat boiled peanuts but I Loved them! This place is a must visit while in the area. The service was great. read more
Not too much to say here but if you like peanuts, definitely stop in. They have boiled and roasted. We got both. They have salted and unsalted and a variety of flavors. We got the cajun nuts which were very good. I would get these again. Plain old salted were good too. They also have peanut brittle in regular, chocolate, and butterscotch. You really can't go wrong with any of these. They are all very good! They also sells shirts and a few other novelty items. read more

So....I will admit that I came to check out this place with the hopes that I WON'T like it, ha. I don't need anymore snacks that I just have to have LOL. Alas, it did not work out that way....the boiled peanuts I got were so good! They have different flavors of boiled peanuts available every day that they post on their website. While you can't try the actual peanuts when you go to the store, they do have a little station in the store while you can the the marinate they cook the peanuts in. It's not exactly the same as trying the boiled peanuts themselves, but you do get a decent idea of the flavor. I got cajun and pineapple lava boiled peanuts today....they were both fresh, hot, and tasty. You can see the peppers and pineapples! Going to go back to savoring my goodies now!! read more
What a great place with a variety of options for everyone(as long as you're not allergic to peanuts)!! I love boiled peanuts, and when I discovered this place, I had to try out their selections. My favorite: wickles pickles!! So , so good! I recently tried the collard greens flavor; unique, different, good, but not my favorite. There's a flavor for everyone! Since Covid they are doing advance ordering and pick up from the curb! Super convenient! read more
