Alabama Peanut Co.: Experience Authentic Boiled and Roasted Peanuts in Birmingham

This was my first time trying boiled peanuts and wasn't sure what to expect. They were delicious. Similar to eating edamame but with more flavor due to the marinades they are cooked in. I loved the Cajun seasoning paired with a spicy pickle monster beer. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Gave me a sample first and a quick rundown about the history of the facility. Would highly recommend.

What a very cool spot! It feels like you’re stepping back in time walking into the shop. Various flavors of boiled and roasted peanuts. They had ranch, Greek, Cajun and salted boiling peanuts yesterday. Not sure about the roasted ones. Loved that they had a sampler flight which allowed me to try multiple kinds. Nice selection of craft beers and sodas to go along with it. My server, Chris was so peppy and kind. He made the experience that much better. He deserves a raise! Definitely make this a stop if you are in the area.

Staff was really kind. Great concept of a roasted/boiled peanuts bar. Great selection and loved you could get a flight of boiled peanuts for tasting different flavors. Had wickle pickle, salt & vinegar, and lava luau. The spicy pineapple was surprisingly my favorite. I love they sell sodas in the glass bottles to go with the old timey feel of the rest of the store.

Boiled peanuts, roasted peanuts, ice cold beer, merch, a 115 year old roaster in use at an original historic Peanut Depot building in a real estate you can call a peanuts store combined with friendly staff’s service. What can I ask for more. In the midst, the dill pickle cajun and Mississippi pot boil roasted peanuts were bomb.

The best boiled peanuts I’ve ever had! Will definitely be back and will be trying the fun flavors next time!!

unique store that sells boiled peanuts (different flavors) as well as roasted peanuts. I tried the 3 boiled peanuts sampler. It's on a unique street that invites people to support small businesses. They also sell beer and soda. I loved the ginger ale with a southern spice. Will return. I came via the Birmingham Historic Touring Company on their highlights tour and this was one of the many gems I experienced.

What a surprise for a returning long time customer. I walked in wondering if they would take a credit card and I was floored. I guess that gives away how long it’s been. I was floored to see not only did they take a cc but they had numerous beers on tap as well as boiled peanuts and of course roasted as well. I think four flavors of each! Service was great and bartenders were all very friendly. Urban Cowgill May 2025

This place opened my eyes to the world of boiled peanuts. I was a picky eater growing up and didn’t give them a chance. But when I tried the boiled peanuts from Alabama Peanut Company, I became a forever fan. (Fun fact: My first flavor was wickles pickles, and I don’t even like pickles! They were just that good.) The smell of the peanuts when you walk in the door is divine. The presentation of your beer in a logo-stamped brown bag with a complimentary roasted peanut is perfect. The peanut flights are a fantastic way to enjoy multiple flavors. The friendly staff takes great care of you. And you just truly can’t find boiled peanuts on this level of flavor and craft anywhere else.
