Fodor's Expert Review Saw's Soul Kitchen

Authentic soul food joins creative Southern home cooking at this cozy little Avondale-district hole-in-the-wall with worn floors and tables so close together you’ll get to know your neighbors. Don’t miss the slow-cooked pulled “pork and greens” served over grits or the “SAW’s bowl,” piled with corn bread, braised pork cheeks, green beans, caramelized onions, and slaw. Chicken marinates in sweet tea before being fried for one sandwich. Even sweeter is the old-fashioned banana pudding.
