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.
Fried Catfish, Red Beans and Rice,
Cajun Corn Platter
I been wanting to try this place for a while. Love Cajun and New Orleans influence food. Everytime I entered Pizitz and tried to grab something, it would always be closed. This one evening, however, it happened to be open. I was debating between the sandwiches but decided to go with this combo platter that included Red Beans and Rice, Cajun Corn, and Fried Catfish that I had to pay +$1 extra for. Wait was not bad at all, but have to consider the food hall was not busy either.
The total came out to around $19. That is quite hefty but no issues considering a lot of food in Pizitz is overpriced. What matters is the taste and experience you’re getting.
As soon as I had my food handed to me, the box was light. I could have swore they just handed me a box with just 3 beans and some rice in it. Maybe something was missing, I thought. I sat down and opened the box and saw a little white styrofoam cup, dead looking white rice and beans, along with the catfish. Now if I am paying almost $20 for a meal, I want it to be a hefty meal in the box at least, not something that looks like the hospital cafeteria at 12 am. Again I was optimistic, as I was not going to judge the appearance of the plate that was handed to me.
Now the Cajun Corn, was really hot, kind of that over-microwaved hot and the color of the corn told me it was old, maybe yesterday morning old. The corn itself was very salty, just leaving no Cajun flavor to be tasted.
The Red Beans and Rice themselves looked dry and the rice especially just looking dead before it even reached the plate it seemed. Flavor again was more salty than anything, tasting a little like dish soap, and that over-microwaved temperature on them.
The Catfish did seem to be the best thing of this experience, as it was fried good and the flavor was decent on it. Not the best; not the worst; but decent.
Overall, I have nothing against the customer service, this business or anything. I did not read any reviews or look at any pictures before eating at this establishment, as I always give my full honest reviews without any prior judgement of others before entering any food place or restaurant.
Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing, but still, close to $20, it should be much better appearance wise, taste wise, and over quality and quantity wise.
I will always be open for trying this place again as I am speaking from my personal experience, and maybe next time ordering the Peaux Boys, but as of now, unfortunately this is ranked on the lower scale of restaurants in Birmingham, for me personally.
The catfish and shrimp were perfectly seasoned and fried just right. The bread was soft and fresh, it reminded me of what I had in New Orleans. We put remoulade on one half and spicy mayo on the other….I preferred the remoulade. Grab some it’s only .50.
My only issue was the fries. We ordered double fries which wasn’t much at all. They were salty and kinda cool/room temp. Some are fried a bit harder which makes them slightly easier to consume but I would have preferred that fresh fries be dropped with our order. They were kept in a bowl under a heat lamp. I could have asked for fresh fries but I didn’t want to wait as a few ppl came and ordered after us. If I could give 4.5 stars instead of 4 I would because the Po’ boy was on point but I love fries and I’m offended when I don’t get fresh lol. I look forward to trying other options.
