Jeff SmithOctober 9, 2016The sweat tea chicken sandwich is mind-meltingly good. Get it with white barbecue sauce. Pictures don't even do it justice.
Jake SmithAugust 11, 2016Get your Pulled Pork "Carolina Style," which adds cole slaw but also onion rings. The meat was moist, and the sauce added points, but the toasted bun was a huge key to this sandwich's success.
Bin YangMarch 9, 2016Small spot, big heart, incredible food. The best items are their specials, not quite the conventional BBQ so ask about it! I had the smoked sausage and finished with incredibly creamy banana pudding.
Kari OsborneFebruary 21, 2016Probably one of the best bbq restaurants in town! My favorite is the Pork & Greens. I prefer it with the white bbq sauce, but regardless the flavors are wonderful!
Margaret PaulApril 5, 2013First of all- Kind of sketchy looking, didn't know we were supposed to order at the counter. But it was SO GOOD! I got the BBQ sandwich and I loved it. will go back for the potato salad.
Nicholas DoyleDecember 23, 2014You'll read that the Pork & Greens is excellent, and it absolutely is. But that Saw Burger is everything you could possibly want in the griddle patty. Both are exceptional.- Latonia NettlesSeptember 16, 2015Sweet tea fried chicken OMG this is so good y'all! I can't even describe how good. I had banana pudding for dessert and right now my tummy is so happy 😊
I love Saw's so much! Seriously, it's the best food in three counties. But I hate how they're ALWAYS OUT OF EVERYTHING. I just want some banana pudding, man!!
John LaskowJune 12, 2016Sooooo good! Not to be missed! Great food in a funky environment. The Baked Potatoes are MASSIVE !!!
Lockhart SteeleApril 28, 2019Pork and greens (which comes on a bed of grits) is a genuinely righteous and religious experience.
Sarah GoodsonMay 27, 2014Delicious! We had the smoked sausage with cheese grits and sweet potato fries! Big portions, great flavor!!
Scharlene HendrixApril 13, 2013Get the chicken sandwich! Seriously, best chicken sandwich I've ever had (and I usually don't care for chicken).
- hamptonAugust 7, 2014Pork and greens is fantastic. Hard to rationalize ordering anything else off the menu.
Best slaw in town! Especially if you pour the BBQ sauce on top of it! Omg! I could drink it!
Can't go wrong with the smoked wings, sweet tea fried chicken sandwich or grits!!
Toxey McDavidOctober 8, 2012A friend of mine highly recommends this place for barbecue. Will check out next trip to Freshfully.
Nic ObernederMarch 28, 2012You gotta try the "pork over grits & greens, topped with onion rings". Phew! It will make you slap yo momma twice.
- Leah LukerMarch 31, 2012I love this place. Best smoked chicken, beat sauce, and AMAZING onion rings!
Where to start? Soul bowl, the burgers, the sweet tea fried chicken...
Roberto Bruder AguiarJanuary 28, 2019Tiny place with terrible service. The server at the cashier was very rude and the one serving yells at everything that leaves the kitchen. I had the Carolina Pork and it was just ok.
Stik woodJune 24, 2016When the menu is chalked on the wall ..... YUP..... you know your in the right place.......
Can't find a seat? Take your food to go over to Avondale Brewing and have some beer with your meal.
CBApril 22, 2013Smoked wings were good but the service sucks. Cashier seemed annoyed to take our order. When we found a hair ball in the burger, the staff had question marks on their faces & we barely got an apology.
Beatriz Viacava-gouletApril 6, 2015been hearing about this place...sounds mouthwatering need to check it out...

"Start off the platter and see what you enjoy; after that dive into whatever you're in the mood for (ribs here are off the bone good). Finish up with the Mississippi mud or banana pudding!"
