SAW's Soul Kitchen
Loading map…
SAW's Soul Kitchen anchors the Avondale neighborhood with a menu rooted in North Carolina whole-hog barbecue traditions brought to Birmingham by pitmaster Mike Wilson. The Sweet Heat Fried Chicken Sandwich and chopped pork plates draw long lines on weekends, and the interior feels like a neighborhood gathering place with mismatched wooden furniture and local artwork on the walls. The smoked chicken and pulled pork are slow-cooked over a real wood pit, and the vinegar-based sauces give everything a bright, tangy finish. Start with the fried pork skins and a side of house-made slaw before diving into a pork plate.
