    Wings
    Ranita S.

    Simply delicious and so affordable. I hope they always keep their prices low. Chicken wings are whole and fried delicately Fries are thin and crispy Chinese donuts delicious and a good size I got 5 wings, fries and Chinese donuts for $6. That's unheard of Comes with hot sauce and ranch

    Tater tots

    Can't fake the Foo? They tried. While watching graphic Kung Foo movies! I was headed to the Barons game and wanted a quick early nibble, and I happened upon what I have to think is a brand new fried chicken/boba tea restaurant. I had never noticed it, and I drive up 19th all the time. It's super spacious, clean and inviting- if a little sterile. Furniture ranged from metal and wood benches and stools to metal patio furniture to a conference table. A little odd. The menu was just as haphazard. Boba tea options. Fried chicken. Fried seafood. I went with chicken fingers ($5.99, came with fries and a drink), an extra soda (no soda fountain, only canned drinks), and an extra side of tater tots. It was a cheap meal. The food only took about 10 minutes (I was the only patron in the restaurant) and came out super hot. The chicken fingers looked EXACTLY like Foosackly's (which famously claims, "You Can't Fake The Foo!"). Same thing: strips of chicken breast meat in a light batter. However, you could tell that the oil was shared with their seafood options. Not the best. Crinkle cut fries were crispy and well seasoned. The tots were crispy. The ranch that came as a side was acidic and very generic. The honey mustard was something else entirely. It had a weirdly fruity taste to it and looked oily. The sauces were terrible. The most off-putting part of the whole experience was having to watch kung fu horror movies while I ate. The cashier was having dinner behind me and was watching a movie that showed a pre-teen boy being whipped to blood, a woman being dismembered in a dryer, and several folks being violently flayed alive and tortured. Definitely unappetizing.

    Strawberry Boba

    Cute, clean, cozy little spot! Good for a quick lunch fix. Their Strawberry boba is definitely my favorite! 10/10. I ordered their grilled shrimp plate and the portions were more than I could finish. The food its self was hot and fresh 8/10. Service 10/10! The staff are extremely friendly and they make sure you have everything you need before leaving.

    Great food, great service, affordable, fantastic frappes! Highly recommend! The fried shrimp sandwich and friend chicken sandwich with fried okra was amazing!

    Grilled Chicken & shrimp plate

    This place is right beside my work and so convenient to eat at!! They give you a ton of food. I personally love the hibachi but I've heard the wings are something serious too !!

    4 piece chicken tenders, fries, and coleslaw and strawberry boba milk tea
    Lucy T.

    I had stumbled upon this place walking around one day and was very intrigued by the sheer cuteness of this place. They had huge pictures of boba drinks on their windows and their logo is a chicken drinking a boba tea. How cute! I immediately had to look this place up and see what they were all about. It seems like it was a full boba cafe that also served chicken, fried fish, and shrimp. Interesting combination! I knew I was gonna have to try this place. I finally got to this past weekend, and it was a great experience. Since it's a very small business, I expected their hospitality to be top notch and they really were oh so very sweet to me. Imagine Chick-fil-a workers times 1,000. I placed a pick up order, and they had my order ready within five minutes of me placing it. That showed me they really cared about their business and wanted to be punctual. My boba and food were wrapped very securely, but I ended up just eating it there since I wanted to eat my food hot. I ordered the four piece chicken tenders, fries, and a side of coleslaw. The fries were getting a little cold, but that was no fault of theirs since it took me longer than anticipated to pick up my order. The coleslaw was okay. I'm not a huge fan of coleslaw in general, but I did like that theirs was very finely shredded. It was a little watery, so I would recommend them using a little less mayo. The chicken tenders were very different from any that I had ever eaten. I was afraid it was a tad undercooked since it was so soft and juicy, but it turns out they use chicken thighs instead of breast meat to make their chicken tenders. They rave online that they make the best chicken tenders, but I can't say they were the best I've ever had. I don't think I would order their chicken tenders again, but they are just such nice people that I would definitely come back to try their chicken wings or shrimp. That is what good hospitality does. It makes you want to go back! Finally, the highlight of my visit was my strawberry boba milk tea. I had told the lady at the front it was possibly the best boba I've ever had. I definitely want to try more flavors they offer. I sure hope Cafe Crispy can do well in this location and are here for the long haul!

    Strawberry Milk Boba and Taro Milk Boba

    Holy moly! My wife and I had the Strawberry Milk boba and the Taro Milk Boba delivered through Uber eats and it was honestly the best boba we've had in Bham! Like WOW. We really love boba and have tried it at just about every local spot but this was by far, the best. We're already craving it

    The people here are so nice!! Also, it's so great to have some boba near the hospital :') Food is delicious and fast with unbeatable prices!

    Fried chicken w donuts

    The boba tea is really good and a really good price. The food was hot and fresh. Chicken fried perfectly (spicy chicken was very mild) and the donuts were amazing. Staff was friendly. I was sad the place was empty though this is a good lunch spot! Recommended from someone who loves a good chicken fry.

    My husband and I have been on the hunt for the best bobas in town! We had a taro smoothie, the…read morefirst time turned out great but the second time they did not blend the ice thoroughly. So we were biting on chunks of ice, which was not enjoyable. Although we had that issue we would go back again and let them know what happened. The ambiance is casual and the service was fine. The tapioca pearls had a great texture and size, and I enjoyed the taro flavor.

    It's my mission to check out at least one boba shop whenever I travel, here was my experience…read more AMBIANCE: Parking: It's in a plaza. We didn't have much issues as there was a lot of space. Seating: Both inside and outside seating. Great for groups and patio seating outside to keep you dry. Vibes: It's in a plaza, maybe 10 minutes away from Downtown Birmingham. The plaza consists of restaurants, a gym, and a grocery store. The spot itself is spacious, clean, and welcoming. A great place to hang out with friends or be friends. FOOD: Peppermint Boba (Recommend) A seasonal drink that was a pleasant delight. The peppermint wasn't too strong, it was well balanced with milk and the boba was chewy. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! The store opened and there was a rush of 3 customers. The kid in front took care of it well. TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. Great! This is a solid enough representation of boba so it's glad to be shared here in the Dirty South! The prices are reasonable, food is delicious, and I appreciated the range/variety they provided. For those craving a boba fix, be sure to check this place out! Shoutouts to Ashley and Tam Duong for bringing this delight to Alabama and best wishes to new owner, Hugo Anguiano, and his team on this business. TIPS: * Check online for their seasonal specials! * Check out their article! https://bhamnow.com/2021/12/17/thirstea-cafe-to-open-at-the-pizitz/
