Owner Jennifer Wilson announced July 28 that the beloved Birmingham barbecue restaurant will open at 1004 Dunnavant Valley Road, marking SAW's seventh location and its first serving customers along the U.S. 280 corridor. Founded in 2009 by the late Mike "Sorry Ass" Wilson, SAW's has grown from its original Homewood restaurant into one of Alabama's best-known barbecue brands. Wilson currently operates SAW's locations in Homewood, Avondale, Crestline, Hoover, Leeds and Southside, along with the SAW's Street Kitchen food trailer. The Chelsea restaurant will join Waldo's Chicken & Beer at Valley Post, the mixed-use dining and entertainment development that is being revitalized after the Pihakis Restaurant Group closed its four restaurants there in April.
