DREAMLAND BBQ REVIEWS

Hands down the best bbq I have ever had. This spot is amazing. It’s a small restaurant that is full of atmosphere and friendly people. The service is spectacular. The food is absolutely amazing. The flavor in everything is amazing. This is the best bbq sauce I’ve ever had. The best coleslaw I ever had. The banana pudding is out of this world. If you’re thinking about stopping just do it. They had all the games on when we were there. I will go back and take some sauce home with me. Be sure to get the bread. You want it with bread!

Amazing! All the food was excellent. Highlights- ribs, smoked sausage, pickles, mac and cheese, banana pudding and chocolate dream. Service was friendly and efficient. Southern hospitality!

Such a great place. Kim was great. A must stop when I’m in Birmingham.

SAW’S SOUL KITCHEN REVIEWS

We ordered the fried green tomatoes and a combo plate with chicken and pulled pork—both were absolutely mouthwatering! The flavors were spot on and cooked to perfection. The sides didn’t disappoint either—the greens and cheese grits were rich, flavorful, and comforting. Everything on the plate was delicious. Service was fast and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend if you’re craving some solid Southern BBQ!

Awesome little place. The food was very good! I picked the combo plate with choices of meat being the pulled pork and sausage. The pork would literally melt in your mouth and their bbq sauce was delicious. The sausage was also very tender and juicy. The only negative thing was that they did not have ribs at this location per the cashier. Regardless of that, I still give them 5 stars for the food and atmosphere.

Had been hearing about Saw’s since moving to Birmingham and my what a gem!!! I tried the smoked chicken thighs, Mac and cheese, and baked beans. Everything was delicious!

JIM 'N NICK'S BAR-B-Q REVIEWS

I door dashed this to my hotel in downtown Birmingham. It took a while, but the food was good. The brisket was tender and flavorful. The ribs were great. The Mac and cheese was average and honestly tasted like frozen box Mac and cheese. The baked beans were superb and the cheese bread was almost like dessert. When I’m town, I will eat here again. Good food.

The food was delicious, having our server made the experience even better. It was a group of 6 and we all gave positive review of the meal and we all selected something different.

Andrew was our server and he was phenomenal! Really made our experience even better. We came to have real Birmingham BBQ and we definitely got it! Best food we've had whole in town.
