Ate lunch at Kamali Creole today The dining room is elegant…read more We both got a po boy (catfish and shrimp) I got a "side salad" , but the term side salad does not do it justice. It had real bacon, different kinds of greens, cheese and cucumber. Blues cheese dressing was awesome. My catfish po boy was huge. The fish was light and not remotely greasy. It tasted awesome. My wife got jambalaya and shrimp po boy. I tasted her food. Her shrimp was huge and tasty. Outstanding service. One of the owners came by to talk and she was precious. We will be back soon. I can HIGHLY recommend this restaurant.

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.

What a wonderful discovery. The food was amazing , the service was great and the ambience was what…read moreyou might expect from a strip mall but I would highly recommend this restaurant to anybody who loves Cajun food. We had shrimp and oyster poboys and gumbo. I think the chicken and andouille sausage gumbo was better than the seafood gumbo the bread was really really good a telltale sign of a great Poboy ! Keep up the great work!!

The guy's name slips my mind, but he plays a variety of beatbox accompanied sax forward genres. Good stuff, out of the surreal vibe. If you like crayfish, this is the place for you. They are boiled in the same manner you would find in NOLA. Like everything these days, it seemed a little pricey for what used to be cheap eats. My wife and I split the shrimp po-boy with a side of the gumbo. Both were quite good and reasonably priced. Good beer selection. The glass of wine was on the rather large size, so no complaints on that front. The service is good. We were at a large table with multiple checks and they managed it all quite deftly (no small feat (sp?/ww?).

Awesome! Really, it's four star food, but when you bring lobster rolls to a smallish town far from…read morethe ocean with a food scene consisting of middle of the road chain American cuisine, then you're awesome. This Cousins food truck is from Birmingham and has been to the Fly Wheel craft brewery a few times in the last year. The staff seem like a nice crew, always friendly. The lines have been usually very long but on this cold Saturday (15 degrees) the line was short, but remained consistent. The menu is short but good. We got the Maine and Connecticut versions, lobster tots, clam chowder, shrimp taco, and some whoopie pies (I know, I know but my wife doesn't like lobster, before you start thinking "what a fat a..", our daughter was home for weekend, the other lobster roll was hers, though I'd happily eaten both rolls). Lot of comments about being pricey, but it's cheaper than at any restaurant, and the portions are the same, so prices are about right if not on the cheap side. The rolls were very good, my daughter and I preferred the warm buttery Connecticut version. The taco was also good but probably be better with lobster. The clam chowder was delicious, with large chunks of clam. The tots paired well with the rolls and the taco and contained a good amount of lobster. Most people get it to go and leave but some stay and dine in the brewery which has a few long tables. They also have a nice stone patio with a fire place to warm up. When they're in town you should really pick up some lobster rolls for a nice lunch or dinner.

I liked both equally. Both times I got the Whoopie Pie and it was excellent. My vegetarian daughter chose the kids grilled cheese which was really her only option. Fortunately she was pleased but it would be nice to have other options as well. I wish there was the option to order online without downloading the app. It would have saved us from standing out in the bitter cold while waiting for our order to get ready.

I went to the Pizitz Food Hall on the quest for hot wings. When I arrived, I found out the wing…read morerestaurant located in the Pizitz had permanently closed. Luckily, I noticed Broad Street had a limited time menu that included wings! These wings were SO good. They were served hot and fresh and full of flavor. My were fresh, too. This was my first time eating at Broad Street, but it's not my last. I saw so many other things on the menu I wanted to try! While I was getting my food, somebody was getting the catfish and it looked delicious.

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.

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.

And that burger didn't stand a chance -- I savored every single bite. And the okra? The perfect compliment. It was fresh, battered with just the right flavoring, fried to the perfect balance of soft & crunch. And that container was packed with it! The service was on par with the food -- it was a joy chatting with Ms. Nettie B and her daughter. I know it must have been stifling inside that truck with grills grilling and fryers frying in full force, but they were both so pleasant! Mouthwateringly scrumptious meal. Customer service excelled.

The first time I had SKA was in 2020 at an event at The Hangout (now closed). It was a bad…read moreexperience .. the event started late, the food wasn't good, the building had no heat on New Year's Day. Just bad all around. I said never again. Fast forward to this week, 7/2024. It was my turn to pick a place for happy hour. I called SKA last Thursday & asked what time happy hour is? The staff replied "Either 4pm or 5pm until 7pm." I asked her to please find out and I'd wait. In response she asked me what time I planned to come. I told her, 4pm. She responded, "YOU SHOULD BE FINE AROUND THEN." I was baffled and just asked for her name and ended the call ... We went to Courtyard 280 ‍ It just so happened that my friends picked SKA for brunch today, Saturday. I'd resolved that I was going for the company and would put all of my past experiences aside. My food experience had been prior the food truck and brick and mortar. So I was open to giving them a chance. I'm so so glad I did! They refer Saturday brunch as a Day Party. It's on the louder end of the spectrum, which is perfectly appropriate for a day party vibe. There was a DJ ... at some point my friend asked, Are they playing GloRilla?!? lol! I'm a fan so it was fine. Our waiter had great energy and he was attentive. The decor is nice. We ordered the mimosa flight. They were good, 4 flavors - strawberry, mango, blueberry, peach - not too sweet. I ordered shrimp and grits. The grits were thick (that's how I like them) and well seasoned. The shrimp was plentiful! was not over cooked at all. There was shrimp in most every bite. I'd recommend this. My friend ordered the fried catfish and grits and said she enjoyed it. The biscuit tasted canned - it wasn't needed though. This was a nice experience!
