Delicious food and great service. The gentleman even asked if we wanted a drink refill as we sat outside and we had already paid. Well done. I definitely recommend.

I asked what Saw’s is known for and he pointed to the Pork and Greens. I’m generally not a fan of greens (I’m not from the south ) but I have to say with the cheese grits and the onion rings they were great. The pork was tender and flavorful. The food looked so good the woman next to me asked if she could take a picture . The place was nearly packed so I was surprised how quickly my food came out. The staff were all great.

Arrived on a Saturday late afternoon right between the lunch and dinner rushes. I believe there were 2 main floor staff. Initially, the greeting was direct but not much warmth. Not sure if staff was overwhelmed or understaffed. The server soon warmed up and the other server balanced out and was more engaging. The food was very good and with generous portions! The catfish was fluffy and wonderfully seasoned, a nice crunch without tasting super oily as it’s fried. Was also craving the fried green tomatoes and they were a lovely snack between meals with the school Sauce. The smoked chicken thighs were so succulent both in the red and white sauce. The Mac & cheese was also flavorful and beautifully baked, wish I got more. Lastly, the pulled pork was also very flavorful and smoky. We got here right in time because by the time we left, the place was full with the early dinner crowds and large groups.

The food at Saw's was truly incredibly good. The best BBQ I had on my trip to Alabama. The whole atmosphere and the look of the place were fantastic, and everything I read beforehand didn't overwhelm me. Saw's Soul Kitchen is definitely a must-visit if you're in Alabama, or rather, Birmingham.

An authentic dining experience with beautifully prepared meals. The onion rings on the pulled pork and greens were small and delicate and the flavour of the pork was mouth watering. No nonsense service and a feeling that this place had been here for ever. Loved it.
