SAW’S BBQ HOMEWOOD
The joint that
started it all.
A little brick building on Oxmoor Road, a stack of hickory, and Alabama white sauce on damn near everything. This is where Saw’s BBQ began — and it still tastes like it.

The Joint
No frills.
All fire.
Restaurants that spend a lot of resources on high-end décor, large open spaces, overly comfortable furniture, glossy menus, overstaffing, may put these things as a priority. These might be the features that get people in the door in most establishments, but that is not the case with a stellar barbeque joint. Locals, regulars, and people who will drive out of their way for good barbeque have come to expect the exact opposite. A place that focuses on great food and great value survives by word of mouth.
Pulled Pork Over Creamy Grits.
This is comfort food, Saw’s style: a generous pile of hickory-smoked pulled pork spooned over a bowl of warm, stone-ground grits. Rich, creamy, and just the right amount of smoke — finished with a drizzle of our sauce and served up in true Alabama tradition. It’s the kind of plate that has folks pulling up a chair and staying awhile.

The Man Behind The Smoke
Sorry Ass Wilson.
What brings ‘em back? Founder and owner Mike Wilson aka “Sorry Ass Wilson” is the founder and head chef. Growing up in North Carolina, Mike started messing with the art of barbeque with buddies in the backyard. Even after culinary school he was still dabbling on days off. He would sell or trade bags of roasted meat for beer! Word was spreading and people were raving. His perfected style of slow roasting meats was known around the region as exceptional. When the time came to open his own place, things started rolling (like the Tide) from there.
From the pulled pork favorites, to fall off the bone ribs, Mike has taken the art to a new level. He is such an expert at the craft, that he has bottled his own barbeque sauce based on demand (available in grocery stores around Alabama).
Traded bags of roasted meat for beer. Now it’s bottled and on shelves across Alabama.
The Signature Burger
The Carolina Burger
Our take on a Southern classic: a juicy all-beef patty piled high with tender pulled pork, tangy slaw, and a drizzle of SAW’s signature sauce. It’s barbecue and burger in one unforgettable bite — only at The Backyard.
“Barbecue and Southern food, just because of where my roots are from, have always kind of been a passion of mine,”— Mike Wilson
In The Press
The focus of Saw’s BBQ is simple – good ole Southern soul food. Pioneered by Mike Wilson, Saw’s has taken Birmingham by a smoky storm. First opening in a residential area of Homewood, the venue has expanded to three locations where they serve classic pulled pork, chicken smothered in a distinctive white sauce, and barbecue-topped baked potatoes. Dubbed an ‘upscale dive,’ this barbecue joint is one both family and friends will enjoy.
