Saw’s Soul Kitchen: A Hidden Gem for Authentic BBQ in Birmingham

The pork skins and pepper jelly pimento cheese were great. As always the pork and greens were a perfect 10. Great flavor with nice size portions. My friends from Detroit loved the food.

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.

Saw’s Soul Kitchen is always good. Might be too good. They’re around lunchtime. they had a line up place was full. Always Great Food. We will be back when I have more time. Thank you.

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.

The cutie that served as was down to earth polite and easy on the eyes. She got our order correctly and it only took about 20 minutes to get the food. Let me tell you something. The food was top notch. The greens are the best I've ever had. Hands down. The ambiance screamed dive bar, the smells smacks you in the face a block away. That sweet aroma had me pulling a u-turn like I was in the fast in the furious. How this place has any free tables is crazy. Great food and we will be back next time we are down that way

Have never left Saw unhappy or hungry! They have a great for everyone. We got sandwiches this time, but there BBQ is amassing as well

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.

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.
