Nola Ice really caught my eye at the Pizitz Food Hall. The lady at the register was nice. I ordered fried shrimp, fries, and collard greens. The fries were so crisp, and the collard greens were pretty good. They give you a ton of food! The shrimp was okay, but I didn't get too much out of it. I was hoping for more seasoning to be honest so I probably won't be ordering their shrimp again. read more

My first time at Pizitz Hall Food Court . Nola Ice seemed rather appealing to me when I recognize the New Orlean style. The customer service from both staff was superior. There were so many choices of flavored shrimps & catfish. I saw green tomatoes freshly cut so I had to order them to go with my Shrimp Po Boy. My hush puppies were really good and fried just right. My order was ready in 10 minutes! read more

It's getting to that time of year where one craves something cold and sweet! Although I did ENJOY my snow ball it did not hit the spot.. Firstly, it wasn't sweet enough which is probably a good thing but when I want a snowball I'm wanting it to be sweet! They also did not put enough cream. I saw multiple reviews saying how good there snowballs were so it's still worth a try just not for me! My fiancé said customer service was really nice! read more

During my weekend in Birmingham I had the opportunity to visit the Pizitz Food Hall and try a few restaurants. Nola Ice was one of them. After spending the day exploring Birmingham we made Nola Ice our last stop before taking it in for the evening. The Food Hall closes at 8pm so keep that in mind and plan accordingly. Parking isn't bad either with a few spots in front of the Food Hall on the street (which fill up fast) and a cheap pay to park area walking distance down the street as well. After taking a look at the menu me and my date decided we'd share the Catfish N' Shrimp Box (Double Regular) $22. This combo comes w/ 2 Catfish filets, golden friend shrimp served with your choice of cajun fries or zapp chips as well as one extra side. On top of that you have the option of requesting lemon pepper sauce on the catfish in which this case we did. We also went with the cajun corn as our other side. Curious as to what else was in the food hall I stumbled upon The Spun Cow right across from Nola Ice. It's an ice cream shop with some amazing ice cream. While waiting I decided to try a single scoop of caramel vanilla on a waffle cone ($9.75). Immediately after receiving my ice cream our food at Nola Ice was HOT and ready. When I tell you this food was amazing. It was goooood. The only issue I had was the size of the catfish and that's just me being greedy. Outside of that you get about 5-7 nice sizes of shrimp that are fried and seasoned to perfection as well as the fries. The Cajun corn wasn't spicy and could've used a little bit more seasoning but from a healthy stand point it was just right lol. Everything was hot and fresh off the stove which is always a plus for me. From the food being fresh and hot to being cooked at a rapid speed and tasting good, I was highly impressed with Nola Ice. I recommend anyone who's in the Birmingham area looking for some good Nola inspired food AND ice cream to visit Pizitz Food Hall and checkout both Nola Ice and The Spun Cow. You won't be disappointed. Also just in case you aren't satisfied with the amount of fries. Ask for more and see if you get another container of fries for free. read more

RESTAURANT REVIEW THE SPOT Nola Ice-Broad St at the Pizitz Food Hall 1821 2nd Ave N Birmingham, AL 35233 Had the chance to try Nola Ice Broad St in Pizitz food hall and it did not disappoint!!! Food Catfish 'n Shrimp Double Box (lemon pepper hot sauce) Cajun Fries Dirty Rice Milo's Lemonade Let's talk about it!! Y'all!! That shrimp was the best thing in the box. It was meaty and seasoned downnnnn the catfish was good as well but not as good as the shrimp. Be sure to add the lemon pepper hot sauce to the meal! The Cajun fries were the bomb!! They didn't need any sauce or nothin'. The dirty rice was good but it wasn't anything to rave about but it was a good additional side. This was my first time having Milo's lemonade and it was goodT!! Gotta go by the store front and try it there. With the double box you get 2 pieces of catfish, shrimp, fries, and an additional side! You won't regret it. Might as well tip over to The Louis Bar and get you a cocktail while you sit and eat Check it out if you're ever in the area.

Drove all the way from Pelham yesterday just for a roast beef po-boy, which they have on their online menu. Being from NOLA, you can not get those here or a decent snoball, so we were excited. We both asked for the RB beef PB and were told very nonchalantly, "we don't have that". Not an, "I'm sorry, we're out, or "I'm sorry, we don't serve that anymore". Just a very unapologetic "we don't have that". Were they out of the ingredients or they don't serve them anymore?? If it's the latter, then why is it on your menu on your website. Being very disappointed, we walked away and walked around the food court, as this was our first time there. We went back to the window and asked for snowballs, and then we were told they had no ice to make snowballs. Really?? You have a snowball business, yet have no ice??!! This was 1:00 PM and they are open until 8:00. How can you have no ice?? Needless to say, we will not be back....ever!! They would have had a repeat customer in us. First impressions are everything. read more

New stall at the Pizitz Food hall. I love me some Cajun food and especially poboys. Ordered the shrimp with lemon pepper Cajun sauce. The shrimp were well fried, enormous and delicious. The sauce was legit. Very tasty. They were out of fries so I didn't get to try them. Had the collards and hush puppies instead. The collards were a bit bland and the hush puppies were dry and over cooked. So disappointed by the sides but the main event was read more

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans? Neighborhood snowball stands are sprinkled throughout the crecent city. The snowball stand is to New Orleans what the coffee house is to Seatle. It is a familiar place where friends and families enjoy a break from whatever. And, there is nothing like a a New Orleans snowball. What makes the snowball special is the ice, syrup, and preparation. First, the ice is chopped up inside a stainless steel, electric machine. This specialized device shakes and rumbles as it chews up blocks of ice and spits out the perfect consistency (smooth and soft). I call this the magic box. The syrup is sweet and generous. There is a flavor for whatever mood, and it is true to it's description. As the ice melts, the icy, syrupy mixture gets better with each spoonful. I found the Nola-ice stand at an event in Railroad Park. They also have a temporary trailer that can be found at the Sunoco gas station that is located on Highway 31 in Hoover. It is just south of the I-65 interchange. The summer hours are 1:00 - 7:00. read more

I did not even get food. I walked up to the counter to find the cashier on his phone and he didn't say a word. I said "hey what's up" and he stayed silent for a moment until he realized I wasn't going to just order without being prompted or asked what I would like. He finally spoke up to tell me they only have wings and sides. This was at 4:30 on a Wednesday and they are open until 8:00. Service so poor that I can only imagine how bad the food is. read more

We took our granddaughter to get a NOLA ice at their food truck and were disappointed. The flavors seemed all color and no real taste. We were the only customers and they got our granddaughter's order wrong. We didn't realize it until we'd left and her mom tasted it. For what we paid $6/ea for a medium and $5/ea for a small was kind of high. After the tip we dropped $20. The ice was courser than your typical shaved ice. It was more like what we called a snow cone when we were kids. My granddaughter enjoyed it and your kids probably will too. If you're a grown up, I recommend saving your money. read more

Lol it tired to support black today and was disappointed. I didn't have the right amount of cash, cause of course they was higher than the shaved ice in Forestdale. Anyway the young man that rung me up was so sweet and definitely gone make a great husband! But Ain get my cream on my icee and I can't eat shaved ice with no cream. So I proceeded to go back in with Apple Pay after I got service on my phone walking outside. Cause again Ain have enough cash but I definitely could pay for my damn iceee. I would have paid $5 for the cream, I didn't care I just needed cream. Anyway do you know the lady "boss" wouldn't sell me a cup of cream cause I guess she thought I was trying to get over.. idk but I literally went completely out my way AND BEEN AT SCHOOL ALL DAY AND HAD TO GO BACK to support her business!!!!! And she couldn't sell me a cup of cream! I threw the whole icee away. I'm going back to MR POLAR HE WOULD NEVER!!!! You never know if you customers having a hard day! Hell, I was looking like I had a hard day. You could have sold me a cup of cream! I'm so disappointed, now I got to buy this high ass Starbucks drink! read more
