Saw's Soul Kitchen Birmingham, Alabama

Every once in a while you have to be brave and try a place that maybe you would normally just pass by.   Saw's Soul Kitchen is just such a place.  Located in a less than pristine part of town, in a building that has seen better days, with bars on the doors and you can understand why we were glad to see 2 police officers having lunch there.   By the time we left we knew why this is one of the locals favorite places to eat.

The menu, which is hand written on a chalk board just inside the door doesn't provide any real description making it hard to decide.  

We had heard about Saw's on the web and one of the items listed was the Pork and Greens so we knew we had to try that.  

Saw's Pork and Greens

Cheese Grits, Pulled Pork,  Greens and Homemade Onion Rings, what a great dish.  The cheesy flavor of the grits with the smokiness of the pork, the bitterness of the greens and the crunchiness of the homemade onion rings.  This is a must have dish.

Other than that, "What to Choose".  We as the officers and they suggested the Saw's Burger.  

Saw's Burger

Beef patty with american cheese, slice tomato, lettuce and Saw's special sauce.  We ordered the plate and got the Sweet Potato fries.  Either plate is enough for 2 so ordered accordingly.  

Saw's Soul Kitchen is definitely a keeper and we will stop here again when in Birmingham.
