Saw's BBQ (Homewood)
Saw's opened its first room in May 2009 in the former Broadway BBQ space in Edgewood; the name is an acronym for Sorry Ass Wilson, a nickname the founder earned when smoking meat and making sauces was still his hobby. Alabama Tourism describes North Carolina-style pulled pork with a vinegar-based signature sauce and white sauce on the chicken, and Bham Now's 2025 guide orders the smoked chicken with white sauce. The company began franchising in 2018 and Birmingham voters gave it the barbecue category by a landslide in Bham Now's 2022 NOWIE awards.
