Stopped here for a quick afternoon bite, the platters were going to be too big but the sandwiches sounded just right. They had a Spicy Beef Brisket on special, chose the baked beans as a side ( could have had fries) and coleslaw. Didn't wait too long for the food, the brisket was delicious, covered with the bbq sauce and the spicy was light to medium heat. The beans had a bit of meat in them, sure it was pulled pork, very satisfying. Service was attentive, great stop for a quick lunch. read more

Memphis Blues - Spicy Beef BBQ Sandwich with Beans and Coleslaw. - Barbeque Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

We got a massive $142 Elvis platter, which includes each type of their signature meats plus sides. The sides were overall pretty good. There was corn bread, slaw, potato salad, BBQ Pit beans and fries. The meats were a hit or miss; some were juicy, tender, and flavourful but others like the chicken drumstick, were extremely dry. Rating: Food 3/5 Price 4/5 Service 4/5 Atmosphere 5/5 Parking: Street parking Would I return? Maybe give it a second chance read more

One of the OG Memphis style BBQ places in town. There used to also be a location at Broadway, but that one got torn down. Parking is available on the side streets, as well as metered spots on Commercial. The place has that rustic country look, with wood panelling and brick walls. Pretty cool Memphis murals on the side wall as wel. Staff are friendly. Tried the Elvis platter. Plenty of food for 4 people. Sides include beans, coleslaw, and potato salad. Meat includes brisket, BQ chicken, pulled pork, ribs, and sausage, with fries and corn bread. Just drown everything in BBQ sauce and go. Try not to think about the calories. Overall everything was quite tasty. Chicken and brisket were a bit dry, but other than that, no real complaints. Definitely worth checking out if one wants to load up on meat. read more

There aren't too many southern barbeque restaurants in Vancouver, and I'm glad we found this one! I'm glad we made a reso because it was popping on a Thursday night. We got the platter for 4-6 people and we had so much leftovers! They had a variety of meats but my favourite was the brisket and pulled pork. Other meats were slightly too dry for me. The lovely thing about sharing this platter is that since there's so many different meats, each person is bound to like 1-2 types of meat... so not meat were left behind in this case lol. Actually, I take that back. Their coleslaw was delicious!! Probably my favourite thing at night. They have beer on tap, and a variety of cocktails as well. Our server was also the absolute sweetest guy. If you want a casual night out or place to hang after work, this bar vibey, Tennessee bbq resto is the place for you!! read more

Went here for our son's birthday as he wanted rib fest quality ribs and brisket. The meat did not disappoint, neither did the potato salad, beans, coleslaw and fries that cake as part of the platter. Also ordered the cauliflower wings and Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was a table favourite! The corn bread was oaky, but needed to be served with the butter and needed a little more flavour. The service was great! Only other downside was it was super hot inside with no air flow or fans given the heat of the late afternoon. Would definitely return though on a not so hot day. read more

Memphis Blues - Memphis platter - Barbeque Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Memphis Blues is a staple in Vancouver for Southern BBQ. It's a casual spot that serves slow smoked meats, southern seafood, and drinks. I most recently visited with 4 guys and we shared the Elvis platter. It comes with "all the meats" which are beef brisket, pulled pork, ribs, rib ends, BBQ chicken, and sausage. It also has the sides: fries, cornbread, potato salad, BBQ pit beans, and coleslaw. The only thing it's missing is seafood - the next bigger Priscilla platter adds calamari, shrimp, and catfish. My favourite here is the beef brisket. It's tender with a bit of crunch on the outside. It pairs especially well with their house blend BBQ sauce, in a sandwich or on its own. They have $5 pints of Russell pilsner, all day every day. That's a 20oz full pint. Or pitchers are $15. Amazing! read more

Always great food. Never leave hungry. Good election of beer and bourbon. Good for a crowd.

My husband and I visited Vancouver recently and this place was on our list of places to eat. Being that I have celiac we had to make sure there were options for me to eat. This place was great, not only the food, but also customer service and hospitality. Our server understood that I needed gluten free and gave me the options that I could eat. Everyone was so friendly here and they also set up a table for us so that we wouldn't have to wait an hour or more. If we ever make it back to Canada we will definitely visit again! read more

Service fantastic ! That was first before I tasted the Brisket and fall off the bone Pork Ribs! Everything was great! Ambiance wonderful ! My fav Spot in Van read more

I like BBQ. Memphis Blue is ok. I have had better BBQ. I came with B and we ordered 1/2 lb brisket and the sandwich of the day to share. The sandwich (pull pork with mustard on top) was tasty. It came with seasoned fries. The brisket was tender but it was slightly dry. Service was great. Overall, it was not bad I would say Memphis is an average BBQ place. There are better ones out there Smoke and Bones and Devil's Elbow etc. read more

My expectations for Memphis Blues is not high. If it wasn't my buddy's treat I would have insisted else where. Being a nice pleasant day I decided to leave my high maintenance black German Bat Mobile (Audi from Boundary Audi) at home and take the public transit. Which turns out to be a good decision. Along the way from the Commercial Station to Memphis, a plethora of home grown eateries and cafes sprung across my path. Noted for future visit. Arriving at Memphis, it reminds me a bit like a Subway food chain with a cartoony map of Memphis and decorated with some tacky memorabilia of the southern town. We know this did not come from Memphis or are we in Memphis. This franchise is a brainchild of locals. Not very authentic feeling. But let's just pretend for a moment we are in Memphis. Since it was on my friend's tab, I did not want to order the 2 meat combo for 25$, I would rather just have the 1 meat meal for 20$ or less, thought the waitress may be accommodating to allow me to have two meats of 5 oz each. Noooope. She insisted I must have the 2 meat combo which had 12 oz of meat where the 1 meat had 10 oz. I don't know about how good your math is. 20$/10oz=2$/oz. but 25$/12oz=2.08$/oz. What she suggested was not a deal. Nor I necessarily wanted to have more food. I simply wanted to see how good their bbq's are. Even a bite would have been suffice. That was that, the Nazi waitress was not flexible nor an astute mathematician. Moot point. I ended up ordering the brisket meal and my friend ordered rib meal. Let's just say when the food came I was not exactly surprised. Both the brisket and ribs were on the plenty of dry side. Though the food came out rather too quick as if all they had to do was to carve the meat. Despite asking for the fattiest piece possible, 7/8 of brisket was dry and gamey. Gave the old gums a workout. Nothing served was hot, as if they were all sitting under some sort of heat lamp. On the slight plus side, they give you a choice of fries, or potatoe salad. Coleslaw was meh. The chilies were lukewarm. The bbq dipping sauce tasted like cherry cough syrup. The brisket was so dry, had no choice but to dip in the cough syrup to aid swallowing. Yeah no....not good. Cannot really recommend this place at this price point. Try the new eateries on the Drive instead. Better yet open a BBQ joint in town, there is virtually no competition. read more

Reenact the last couple years of Elvis Presley's life by stuffing your face full of BBQ at Memphis Blues until you fall into a meat coma. A cool establishment in the heart of Commercial Drive's dining district, Memphis Blues has no real, nearby, direct competition. They serve Tennessee-style BBQ in a venue filled with Memphis-themed decorations. Prices are a bit high, but par for the course. Side dishes like coleslaw, potato salad, fries and beans do a good job filling you up if the meat doesn't. I'd suggest getting the Memphis platter as it gives you a sampling of all the different meats available. For larger parties, step up to the Elvis platter or even bigger Priscilla platter. Worth noting is their BBQ sauce which has hints of plum/cherries. Their potato salad and collard greens are also very good. Their fries were amazingly crispy and well seasoned. Brisket, ribs and pulled pork were all tasty and give you a variety of textures to enjoy. Service was good, and the ambiance was cheerful. Some desserts are available and a full bar is there for your alcohol needs. read more

First time trying Memphis Blues! We got the smoked sausage as an appetizer, the beef brisket meal and the combo meal with 1/2 slab of ribs and pulled pork. Each meal comes with cornbread, coleslaw, BBQ pit beans and your choice of potato salad or fries. The beef brisket had a good mix of fatty and lean parts but I found some of the leans parts to be too dry. I also found the pulled pork to be on the dry side and it definitely needed the help of the BBQ sauce. The ribs were okay not the most moist or tender ones I've ever had. The crispy fries with some sort of Cajun seasoning? were addictive and the portion was generous. The BBQ sauce just tasted a bit too smokey for me and it made the BBQ pit beans taste really weird. The other sides were fine for me. Sausage was pretty standard too. It was alright but I think I've had better BBQ. read more

Memphis Blues - Barbeque Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Best barbecue north of the Mason Dickson line. (If you have to ask what the Mason Dickson line is, you don't know barbecue)

Ive always wanted to try this place and decided to order this last week when I didn't feel like cooking. I ordered this via uber eats and they had this buy 1 get 1 special. I ordered the pulled pork chicken, the cornbread, the sausages and a bottle of the BBQ sauce. The pulled pork chicken was buy 1 get 1 and it came with your choice of fries or coleslaw and beans. I chose to get the coleslaw and beans. There was a lot of pulled pork and a good amount of BBQ sauce. I knew the BBQ sauce wouldn't be enough and rather getting a side of BBQ sauce, I ended up getting a bottle. The bottle BBQ sauce didn't taste the same tho as the BBQ sauce in the pulled pork and the one that came with the sausages, but still good. The bread was good, it was big and chewy. The coleslaw isn't your typical tart creamy coleslaw so don't expect that. The beans to me, was quite good and u can taste the smokiness. The sausages were also buy 1 get 1 and these were delicious. It came with a side of BBQ sauce and I would only dip a little as I find dipping alot takes away from the smokey sausages. But yum! Cornbread, I was pretty disappointed with this one. I thought I was going to get something sweet, but this was not sweet at all, but very moist! It could be that they don't make it sweet. Overall, I would definitely order from here again, but maybe no cornbread as I prefer it a bit sweet. read more

When you use the words Memphis bbq. Which means Memphis Tennessee down south smoked meat. Make sure it's really good smoked bbq with hickory, mesquite or apple wood over a pit, smoker or grill for flavor and meat seasoned well. The baked beans had no flavor, collard greens no flavor. Just highly disappointed. But i will say, the brisket was tender. Just didn't taste smoked. read more

Still the best southern barbecue north of the Mason-Dickson line. George has kept the quality of his food up there with the best in the south. Great ribs with a tenderness inside and the Smokey flavor on the edges. read more

Lots and lots and lots of delicious, hardy meat! Couldn't be more in love with this place - great vibe with helpful staff who are always checking in with you. The space is a bit packed but contributes to the unique and hip vibe of the place. Definitely try their platter - enough to feed 3 people at least and contains all the stuff you would want. Their cornbread is easily one of the best parts of the meal. Make sure to ask for refills on the sauce if you run out! Washrooms are quite well maintained and there's some parking up and down the main street, and a bunch of street parking around if you don't mind walking a bit. read more

Good old Memphis! My sister and I had to go back to Memphis to satisfy our BBQ fix on fri (July 14th). I've previously been to Broadway and Robson and it's been about 3-4years I haven't been to this location. And I guess this was the right time we go for BBQ. We ordered Full Slab o'ribs ($29.95) to share and I have to say the portion was little big for 2 of us (both of us have small appetite and I guess half slab can be bit smaller for us? Oh well), but finished it all. Our food was great, ribs were tender it fell off the bones. So delicious after dipping into BBQ sauce and it was finger licking good. Coleslaw and chilli were also great. And the fries were hot and fresh. We've had fast attentive service from staff and the owner came to check our table as well. Big thumbs up from us! We got our food without corn bread in the beginning and the staff brought a fresh one later. Corn bread was good. Everything was just PERFECT and I'll definitely go back there for BBQ fix next time. **Brunch menu is also available so check my photos** read more

we didn't feel the love tonight! I ordered the Memphis platter for myself and three teens. It was the perfect size serving with a little bit left over. I find that it really depends on when we decide to go eat. last time the brisket was uber dry and the chicken was moist. Tonight the brisket was melt in your mouth perfect and the chicken was charred dry. the BBQ sauce was amazing as always. the three star for tonight was for lack of service and the feeling of being invisible then rushed / pushed out because they were expecting a large party to come in soon read more

I've been coming here for decades. Both this location as well as West Broadway and the Surrey location (both closed now). Things are not as they once were. I came here with my son and a friend for my 65th birthday lunch and we all left disappointed. There is no heat in the restaurant. It was -10c today and positively frigid inside. The bbq sauce has changed. It was both thinner in texture and lacked the zip of the former sauce. It had a somewhat floral taste (that's as best as I can describe it). The ribs seem to be about 20% smaller in portion. They were not prepped properly and still had the membrane in place. This made them tough and chewy. The membrane also prevented the rub from penetrating into the meat, so once you removed the membrane the meat didn't have the taste that it should. They have changed from wicker platters to metal trays for food service. This combined with the restaurant being so cold, the food chilled pretty quickly too. I know the restaurant industry has been hit pretty hard by Covid, but it seems the places I go have generally given up and use Covid as an excuse to degrade their food and service. I hope they recover from this because I would really hate to see a great restaurant like Memphis Blues disappear. read more

I had the biggest southern bbq craving after binge watching pit masters on Netflix loolll so the next day, I headed over to Memphis blues and let me tell you, it did not dissappoint!! I ordered the Memphis platter (for 2 people) and it had all the meat you could ever want in your bbq dreams - brisket, sausage, chicken, ribs, pulled pork. It also came with amazing sides - coleslaw, beans, potato salad (not my fav), corn bread, fries and house bbq sauce. My favourite side was the fries! Something so different from the fries everywhere else. They have this amazing mix of spices in the fries that honestly make it one of my favourite fries anywhere! The platter was $70 and although that may seem expensive, you get SO MUCH meat! We packed up the food when we were full, and ate it over the next THREE days!! Its almost 4 meals worth of food! So the price is very fair. I arrived around 4pm and it was easy to get a table right away. There is street parking so it may be packed at times. Service was very good, and they made sure everything was covid safe. Overall, love this bbq place!! read more

* Slim pickings * Ok, so Vancouver is slim pickings when it comes to good Southern BBQ options ever since the Smoking Crust sadly closed (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/the-smoking-crust-vancouver#hrid:EcN9uZtLI8nm1KaX8rpY2A). Among those pickings, I suppose Memphis Blues (the local chain) is the best option. To get a sampling of their entire menu, we ordered the Priscilla Platter which included three separate platters: - Seafood platter with shrimp, catfish, and oysters. The shrimp were very overcooked, the catfish was very muddy with a strong iodine taste, and the oysters were not terribly fresh. I would skip all the seafood in the future here. Photo: http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/iHHnZb1YEP9vRXOc6-7Nrw?select=Pi-MEnzMYkHCw4bUHz6UwQ#Pi-MEnzMYkHCw4bUHz6UwQ - Sides platter with beans, cole slaw, potato salad, fries, and corn bread. The beans had a nice sauce flavour, the cole slaw was a bit over mayoed, the potato salad was not bad for the style, the fries were hot and slightly seasoned, and the corn bread was cold sadly. Photo: http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/iHHnZb1YEP9vRXOc6-7Nrw?select=_Q9_RF46Q6j0TI7oF-iT2Q#_Q9_RF46Q6j0TI7oF-iT2Q - Meats platter (the star of the show) had ribs, rib ends, sausage, brisket, pulled pork, and chicken. The ribs and rib ends were decent renditions, although some of them could have used just a little more time in the smoker and a bit more rub. The sausage was a bit underseasoned, but not bad. The pulled pork was a tad bit dry, but not bad once you added the sauce. The chicken was flavourful and moist. The brisket was tender and had a nice bark. Photo: http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/iHHnZb1YEP9vRXOc6-7Nrw?select=zT30zuDNPZiexUkmE4rkOQ#zT30zuDNPZiexUkmE4rkOQ Overall for Vancouver it is a 3 star, as it was ok. In the South this would be a 2 star at best. But there are slim pickings in Vancouver in the BBQ area! Oh if Salt Lick could just open up here and provide us this: http://www.yelp.ca/biz/the-salt-lick-bbq-driftwood#hrid:PqP-H1DT9wa6lt8UmOLeXA they would really clean up! read more

So when you order take out don't bother with instructions because they won't listen anyway. I order the chicken sandwich with no Mayo and apparently that means extra Mayo until the bun is so soggy it falls apart. At least the fries were good read more

Husband and I came here for dinner because as usual, I was too lazy to cook haha. We both ordered the pulled pork platter- heads up, the fries are MUCH better than the potato salad. Go ahead with that when they ask! The food came promptly, and the server checked up on is throughout our meal. The pulled pork was... Good I suppose. Above average but kind of in that mid zone that makes you wonder how on earth it was so astronomically priced, since it doesn't deliver what you expect it to. I think the BBQ place in Steveston serves much better, to be honest. As for the sides, it comes with corn bread, coleslaw, and beans. Avoid the beans like the plague. ...or you will regret it, seriously. Worst beans ever..... *retches* Atmosphere of the restaurant was pretty cool though, with cool posters of blues musicians. Still, as an option of BBQ, lots of better options are to be found. I would give this place a 3.5/5 in total, just better than average. read more

This is a place where you have to be ready to take on meat. Vegetarians stay away! It's quite funny to me that this meat haunt is on commercial drive, home of quite a few vegetarians. Say what they will - meat is to be had! I had the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw (that's salad in their world) and baked beans (this would be the potatoe or rice part). Tasty although I could have used more of the sauce my friend had on her chicken sandwich. Be warned!!! You will not be having a fork and knife eating experience here. PIck it up and let the juices flow. They have brown paper towels on a tabletop roll for your eating mishaps - which there will be!!! I was full on a small order. I can not imagine what a large order would be like. I think I would probably keel over. If you are going with a bunch of folks. I highly recommend their meat platter. It made me drool watching that plate go by. Passers by definitely did a double take at the mountain of meat the table of 3 was attacking. read more

Always a little leery of restaurants that have morphed from one or two original locations into franchises spanning several cities, or worse still, provinces, Memphis Blues still manages to pretty much serve up the decent BBQ fare it always has. Bright spots on a recent visits have been the BBQ poutine, their delicious signature sauce really kicking up the dish, and the stewed collard greens. The pulled pork sandwiches are always great, and a recent chicken and rib special was really good. The rib ends are killer as a starter, as are the wings and sausage pieces. The platters offer good value, but some of the meats have been less than hot in the past. Obviously, the logistics of serving up multiple refrigerated prepared meats on a platter where everything consistently tastes as if it's fresh from the smoker can be problematic in a franchise like this. That said, our last couple of visits have been good. Accompanying dishes are tasty... coleslaw, potato salad, corn bread, fries... all good. And both the regular tomato-based and mustard sauces are great. Service is friendly, but can be slow at times. Prices are decent - figure about $15 to $20 on average for food - a lot of food. Alcohol prices are also a little below average with a few decent local craft beers on tap, too. All in all, a good place to get your meat on, but don't expect to be wowed as many roadside BBQ stands can do in the USA. read more

In BBQ-starved Vancouver, Memphis Blues is a welcome shot of southern slow-cooked goodness. The daily sandwich specials are ok, and the BBQ meals aren't bad (though they seem a little pricey for the quantity, and no waiter service), but I only really go these days for the platters - grab three or more friends and chow down on a gigantic plate of BBQ. Most of the platters come with beans, a modest helping of cornbread, slaw, extra BBQ sauce, sausage, chicken, rib tips, ribs, pulled pork, and, the star of them all, beef brisket. The brisket is out of this world, and everything else is solid BBQ fare. They keep their local micro-brew taps current, and the music is as soulful as a BBQ joint should be. A helpful tip - I've heard that if you go later in the evening on a slow night, they load the platters with more meat. Everything is prepared hours before hand, of course, so they have to do something with it at the end of the night, right? read more

I had the Catfish on Greens and it was HEAVENLY! Anyhoo, this place was a bit different. You sit at the table to look at menu selections and, once you decide, you go to the counter and place your order. You also pay after ordering too. The service is VERY friendly; one woman there said 'Hi there' the moment we stepped in. My sis had ribs and our guest had rib ends platter, complete with slaw, beans, corn bread and their choice of side dish (baked potato or fries). It's all good! You can also get roasted chicken, oysters or pulled pork platters. You will leave full so come hungry! read more

I've only been to this place one but I would definitely return! Delicious food that super flavorful, feels like real authentic BBQ joint. Just as a guideline, this is just a nice little sit down place but not a restaurant incase you are wondering. When you go in you go up to the window and order your food, and then you go take a seat and they'll bring it out when it's done. So if you're looking for something where you are waited on constantly, then this may not be the place for you. It's much more of a casual drop in/hang out place. Which I like. It's got a cozy decor and a nice relaxed vibe. Both me and my bf got the Pulled Pork sandwich and it was amazing. It also comes with coleslaw and beans, the coleslaw tasted fresh and the beans were really flavorful. We also ordered some cornbread on the side, which I found a little dry but I took some home and warmed them up with some butter and they are much better. Also the beverages all come in little vintage glass bottles which I find to be a charming touch. Price is decent, I think it came to around $40 for two pulled pork meals, cornbread and two beverages. I've been eager to return and try more since. =] read more

Better come with an empty stomach or be really hungry! Food was good, there was 5 of us we ordered the feast platter and we still had left overs. They have great platters with different varieties of meat to choose from. The service was good, our server kept checking up on us to see if anything was needed. My friend ordered a glass of their house wine, and it came as a small glass maybe 2ish oz only? So the wine really wasn't worth it for $7. With us sitting close to the bar we were able to see the guy who poured the wine had to get someone else to taste the wine prior to serving it. (I don't think wine is something the serve often here) - probably better off getting a cider or a beer. Otherwise food was decent, good for portions and trying different styles. read more

Although we did not sit down and order a meal, I felt compelled to write a review of our experience of the service offered by the hostess / waitress. The restaurant was full when 4 of us stepped inside. We looked around to see if any dining party might be finishing soon so we could assess whether we should stay or pick another restaurant. The waitress came over and said there was outdoor patio seating available. It was 7pm in December. It was 2c outside and the patio had no lights or patio heating. We waited for a "hahaha" from the waitress but then we realized she was serious. We quickly turned around and left. We didn't want to be served by an incompetent waitress with no common sense. read more

Good things first: It's good to have a BBQ place dedicated to that kind of food, and the menu has a a lot of staple BBQ meats and sides. But: There's a disconnect going on in the kitchen. No one is paying attention to the food and standards. Like almost all the issues with every restaurant that I review negatively, it's a variety of small, easy fixes that ruin it. And they are so obvious that I have to score the place one star. All it would take would be to ask yourself one time, if I was a customer here, would I have any problems with the food that's going out? you're in business every day of the week, it would be a minimum of effort to just ask yourself this once. Ok, the meat is not hot the last three times I went. THE FOOD IS COLD. How obvious is this? So many restaurants in Vancouver send out cold/room temperature food. If you do that consistently, you shouldn't be in business. Other little things like basic BBQ sides that just aren't that good. This is what makes the meal. The fries are so crispy, they are tough, and you can barely poke them with a fork. Did you not notice that? The coleslaw - anyone can make coleslaw - if you go to a BBQ specialty place at least make it as good a random bachelor like me if not better. It's bland. Even just check the seasoning level if you aren't going to make it more tasty in general. It's pretty much cabbage, carrot and yogurt in taste. Do better. People are paying for this. read more

[Walking in Memphis] I made the decision of visiting memphis as a pre-sport meal. I had the intention of only having something light but the idea of pulled pork and ribs was too enticing. The restaurant is long and narrow and the garage door that made up the front of the restaurant was open on this nice sunny Friday. Seating is self-serve and food is ordered at the counter. I got the rib ends sandwich with a side of house salad. The sandwich was delicious! The meat was juicy abd flavorful with their special house blend BBQ sauce. The salad was just your regular house salad with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. My dining companion ended up with a pulled port poutine appetizer. This so called appetizer was larger than my entire dish! Between the two of us, we couldn't finish it - I may have if I wasn't going to play sports 20 minutes later. It was tasty with tons of cheese - the fries below were crispy and hot. Memphis has been a fixture in the vancouver dining scene for years abd there's a reason why. If you're in the mood for some good southern style pulled pork and ribs, Memphis is worth a visit. read more
