The food was great, however it is on the pricey side ($15-25 for a meal and a drink). Customer service was as expected, but not friendly. They have limited seating.

Two words. . . Barbecue baker. Holy cow. Anytime anyone I know goes to Birmingham I tell them about this place, and I've made the trip just to eat here. Final meal level food.

Like all great BBQ shops, from the outside Saw's looks like a dive bar. Inside, though, it is a character-laden bar/restaurant with great food and drink menus. Our Uber driver had told us that we had to try the Pork 'n Greens. I did, and it was a wonderful choice! Pulled pork on greens and cheese grits, all topped with thin onion rings, turns out to be a taste sensation. I added the vinegar-based BBQ sauce and enjoyed one of the best combination of flavors I've ever tasted. My wife had the pulled pork sandwich with their red sauce and said it was awesome! If in Birmingham, try this place.

Absolutely worth the hype and probably my favorite barbecue in the city. I have been told that each Saw's location is different, so I can only speak to this menu. You get an obnoxious amount of food for a decent price. A "side" of fried pork skins is enough to feed an entire family. Their smoked chicken thighs are juicy and flavorful. Most of their pulled pork will melt in your mouth, but some parts are dry. My biggest recommendation is to bring brisket to this location! Saw's also recently changed their service. You order at the front desk, grab a seat, and a staff member brings the food out to you.

Downtown for a concert and needed lunch. Saw the reviews for this place and decided to give it a try. Hubby enjoyed The Original BBQ sandwich, and I had the Sweet Tea Chicken sandwich. Both were good, but I think I won. We shared the onion rings which were crispy and excellent. I regret not ordering the fried pickles though....they looked amazing. Order at counter and food brought to your table freshly prepared! Definitely a hole-in-the-wall place....you have to look for it! Definitely worth the hunt!

Some of the best food in Birmingham! Came here for lunch. We were told to seat ourselves and then order ourselves at the front counter. The inside is nice and has cool decor. Do yourself a favor and try the Sweet Tea Fried Chicken. I was deciding between the pulled pork sandwich and the sweet tea fried chicken sandwich and the employee told me the Sweet Tea Fried Chicken was their #1 best seller and after taking a bite, I instantly knew why. The outside is so crispy and perfectly fried while the inside is insanely juicy. The white sauce on top is delicious. You NEED to try this sandwich. Easily the best fried chicken sandwich I've ever had. The pulled pork was pretty good. However, their BBQ sauce is not my favorite. I prefer a thick, sweet BBQ but SAW's BBQ sauce is more watery and vinegar tasting. We got Mac and cheese and a very generous portion of fries as the sides. My friend also enjoyed his patty melt, which also has the white sauce in addition to a burger sauce. I absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting Birmingham. We will be back.

The best dish I've ever eaten at any restaurant is the Pork N Greens plate. Cheese grits topped with the best collard greens I've had topped with perfect pulled pork BBQ topped with fried onions. It was an Umami explosion. My second favorite was the Sweet Tea Fried Chicken Sandwich. Chicken breast was marinated in sweet tea for a few days. Best chicken sandwich I've ever eaten. This place definitely goes on my best food spots on the country list. Note: they close really early so call before you go!
