Loved the delicious white sauce, potato salad and Mac and cheese! Definitely a must stop if you’re visiting Birmingham.

We're visiting the area and was told by some locals that we had to try Saw's if we were looking for BBQ. Of course it was one of the best BBQ spots I've been too. Nice local joint, pork was so tender and flavorful and the chicken was packed with flavor also. We got the Pork Tater and Chicken Tater with a medium side of Mac & cheese. I'm a huge fan of BBQ stuffed potatoes so I was happy that they had a few options on the menu. The Mac & cheese wasn't my favorite, but it was ok. I'm glad we got to stop by and try it out!

I had heard reviews of this place all over the internet on websites such as Reddit and decided to give it a shot on my way back home from New Orleans. The pork ribs were as tender as can be and the Mac n cheese was to die for! To tie it all together I put the rib meat on the bread with Mac n cheese and some of their white BBQ sauce and it was absolutely scrumptious. I highly recommend Saw’s BBQ, and I would like to mention a man who worked here by the name of Daniel who was very hospitable and generous to my family and I during our time here.

Found them based on a tip from a friend. Food was above average and served quickly. The location was fun with a lot of options for food and fun. Staff could have been a bit more outgoing.

We have only eaten here once. But I will tell you this place is the only place I crave. The other location in Leeds is nothing compared to this place. We ordered three of the 3 meat combo meals. We then drove home to Lincoln. 1 hour ride. It was still warm when we got home. The chicken was cooked perfectly. It was NOT dry at all. The pulled pork was incredible. But the BRISKET was like butter. It was the show of all meats. We own our own shop so it’s hard for us to get out of town for dinner. If I did have time - it would be worth the drive. It will not disappoint. The only other place comparable is the Pig & Pint in Jackson, Mississippi.

Came from out of state. The first thing I did was look at reviews and ask locals about good bbq. After making the decision to eat at Saw's, I had my next challenge of which one. With different menus, it was hard to choose, but the ribs were the deciding factor for me, so we went to Homewood and boy were they worth it! My family sampled the ribs (great - fall off the bone), pulled pork (great - moist/not dry), chicken (great - loved the white sauce), beans (good), potato salad (great), deviled eggs (ok), Mac n cheese (good) & greens (ok). Overall, very pleased and I would definitely recommend this establishment to anyone that wants to try some great bbq.

Just come try it. Great place, great food, and great service. It is pricey but it is very good. Had the original pulled pork sandwich and the smoked chicken with white sauce. My only complaint is I needed more white sauce on the side. It was a good size piece of chicken and the white sauce was amazing (highly recommend). The sides are also very very good. The service was absolutely excellent. The location is great with a lot of active people in the area. Easily accessible by wheelchair. The inside is very cool. Good place to eat with the family. I will absolutely come again and I highly recommend it.

It has been a while, but never disappoints. I was happy to point out my favorites to a new customer from SC. Ribs, of course, but the potato is a meal for 3-4! He didn’t believe me. The green beans and mac-n-cheese are always something to write home about. Pretty sure his family ordered almost one of everything in total. He followed me out the door to tell me how good it was. I hope he told yall, too.
