CarrieMay 27, 2016The sampler platter is a must! Includes the BEST pulled pork and the delicious baker's white sauce. Can't go wrong with everything on there. We're from out of state and will be back next year!
- Nathan JonesMay 5, 2016I'm from Memphis, and I must say the pulled pork is excellent. Not too crazy about the potato salad, (a bit sweet), but overall very good, worth a second visit!
Lillyvette Montalvo OstensonNovember 24, 2013They close at 8 pm on the dot!! Lunchtime is a MAD HOUSE!! The smoked chicken and white sauce ROCK!! So do their Mac & Cheese (tho if u r watching what u eat I don't recommend it) and the pot. baker!- KarstenMay 4, 2019Loved my "Saw’s Sampler", recommended by the friendly ladies at the counter. Ribs were wonderful, SC-style Pulled Pork WORLD CLASS! And the white bbq sauce perfects the smoked chicken.
Ryan EickOctober 4, 2017I would suggest getting the sampler. It was hard to choose between the ribs, chicken, and pulled pork, they're all delicious
cami j.March 27, 2018the chicken sandwich is one of the best things i’ve ever eaten and the white sauce is magical.
Lily PayneAugust 9, 2012I am a regular are Saw's and I will continue to be as long as they have the loaded baked potato and their incredible banana pudding. Definitely one of the best bbq places in B'ham
David ToppingMarch 12, 2016Pulled chicken is a must. But for your first time get the sampler platter. Best BBQ in Alabama.
Brandon JohnsonApril 27, 2013As soon as you walk in this place you will smell the most amazing BBQ smell you have ever smelled. If you love BBQ the smells are free, but the food is amazing- Lily PayneOctober 26, 2012Tied for my favorite bbq. They have amazing bakers and banana pudding. I always have an excellent meal when I go there. It's worth the long lines!
Earl Belcher JrAugust 8, 2013Excellent service. Melt in your mouth pulled pork, possibly best I've ever had. Awesome ribs, fall off the bone.
Melissa KeiserJanuary 4, 2015Great BBQ - had the sampler platter - more than enough for two people and the white sauce was great on the chicken!
Serious EatsSeptember 9, 2013Don't pass up one of Saw's giant baked potatoes topped with their excellent pulled pork.
Best BBQ in town. Also love their gigantic baked potatoes. Topped with broccoli, BBQ chicken, and more.
MurdaRich Stunna HallFebruary 25, 2015This the best bbq I have ever ate!!! And the white sauce, omg!!!! I have to return asap!
Michael Shane BradshawJune 3, 2016Pulled pork, baked beans and mac and cheese were excellent! Loved the bbq sauce!
ElizabethOctober 20, 2015This place is deliciousness and so is their white BBQ sauce. It's everything people claim it is.
Dori DeCamillisDecember 18, 2015I like the chicken with white sauce, but everything is good. The best barbecue I know of.
Avery JenkinsMay 10, 2011Get the Pulled Pork Plate with White Barbecue Sauce and Mac & Cheese. Best BBQ in Birmingham!!!
Nathan WinslowMarch 10, 2012This place is amazing! The owner still works in the restaurant which gives me higher respect for this place. Try the pork plate.
Vanna MoyeOctober 3, 2012Was in yesterday and thishas to be the BEST EVER BBQ in the world!!! I will be back within a month.
- Derek NerenbergAugust 27, 2014The turnip greens rocked the house and I liked the ribs better than Dreamland.
I dare you to eat the entire Loaded Potato and not have to take a nap immediately afterward. Best BBQ in Bham by far.
Chris LeeJanuary 18, 2014Had smoked Bodin and the smoked chicken in a combo plate. Both were excellent.
Lance JohnstoneNovember 9, 2012The potatoes are good, but explore the menu try everything then everything with white sauce
Ashley RowlandOctober 14, 2013The bomb! Best BBQ in BHam, left smelling like it the rest of the day. 👍👍
You can't go wrong with the pulled pork sandwich. Leanest meat for any BBQ place I've tried.
- Matt CuthbertAugust 16, 2010Be sure to try the white BBQ sauce, and your taste buds will know why white is the new maroon.
Must try the Roll Tide...even Auburn fans love it! Ask for it...not on menu.
Byron DyessApril 14, 2012Dang this place is packed on a Saturday. Is this like home woods little secret place to eat.
