Southern SoulMeets Avondale.
Signature BBQ, inventive specials and a no-fuss, piggy-paraphernalia kind of cozy — the SAW’s spirit with a few extra twists.
Since 2012
A Small, Cozy Place — Packed For A Reason
The vibe at SAW’s Soul Kitchen is what keeps customers clambering into this small, cozy place in record numbers since its opening in May 2012.
Like its sister restaurant SAW’s BBQ, this location features traditional southern dishes in a no fuss-no muss atmosphere full of piggy paraphernalia. Founder Mike Wilson’s original Birmingham eatery had been going strong since its inception in 2009. He didn’t want to open just a “SAW’s #2” — he wanted to feature the popular cuisine with a few extra twists and some surprises.
Enter Partner & Chef Brandon Cain
Mike and Brandon met a few years ago at a golf tournament. The two hit it off and got talking about their love of Southern cuisine — and in particular, began debating the techniques of slow roasted barbeque.
Brandon started his restaurant career in New Orleans working for Emeril Legasse at NOLA, as well as Dickie Brennan’s Steakhouse and Mr. B’s Bistro, and learned the pace of short-order cooking serving breakfast at the Camellia Grill. In Alabama, he was chef de cuisine at Ocean in the trendy Five Points district.
Southern soul food is what’s on the menu at this Avondale hangout — signature BBQ sandwiches alongside burgers, inventive specials and banana pudding for dessert.Zagat
