Some of the best bbq in Van city! And in the most unassuming spot. On Kingsway through a door, down the stairs around the corner is Yo-Bones! It's easy to miss but once you find it you'll go again and again and again! The staff are so damn nice too! Always happy smiling and obviously so proud of the product they're producing which they should be because it's so damn good! We got the brisket Mac n cheese which was outstanding! Creamy, cheesey and the noodles were cooked perfectly. Then the brisket on top really brought it home! The brisket is so tender juicy and works so well with the Mac. I also got the quarter ribs to try too and boy were those delicious as well. Everything we got was so damn good! I also bought the corn bread peach cobbler to go which was so reasonable at $7 and tasty too! This is a must eats in Vancouver hands down top bbq in the city! read more

Booked them for a block party last summer (as we did for 3 previous years) and they didn't bother to show up. This was for a date they told guys would work for them. Wouldn't answer the phone, basically ghosted us. Pretty much ruined the party as people left early to eat at home. read more

I can't recommend Yo Bones enough! When my workplace was in desperate need of a last-minute Christmas caterer (just 1.5 months to go after our original venue fell through), I stumbled upon Yo Bones during a quick Google search. I was pleasantly surprised to see they offered a holiday catering menu--and let me tell you, they delivered in every possible way! Having eaten at the Yo Bones BBQ food truck several times, I already knew their food was incredible, so I had high hopes. Yoshi, who helped me plan our menu, exceeded my expectations. He was attentive, accommodating, and proactive in addressing food allergies and sensitivities. He asked thoughtful questions to ensure everything ran smoothly and was quick and honest with his answers--a real pleasure to work with! We chose the 3 meats + 3 sides with desserts and buffet service option, and it was not only affordable but absolutely delicious. The meats (including a vegan-friendly mushroom wellington) were juicy, flavourful, and cooked to perfection. Several coworkers even went out of their way to rave about the mushroom wellington, and trust me, that's high praise coming from a BBQ crowd! The two staff members who arrived to set up brought everything: Christmas-themed linens, serving tools, an assortment of desserts (small cakes and cookies), and a ton of energy and holiday spirit. They were so friendly, efficient, and professional--everything you'd want in a catering team. The only small note I'd make is that if you're expecting seconds from the buffet, you'll need to order for more than your guest count. If you order for 100 people, you'll get 100 portions--fair enough, and totally on me for not planning extra. Huge thanks to Yoshi for helping me organize everything and for being one of the amazing servers at the event. His hard work and attention to detail truly made this event a success. 10/10 would absolutely recommend Yo Bones for any catering needs. Whether it's for the holidays or any other event, Yoshi and his team will make sure you're taken care of and that your guests leave happy (and full!). read more

Had high hopes for this place..... Let's just say it is alright among Vancouver's few BBQ spots like Re Up and Memphis Blues but pales by comparison to the Texan/Memphis style in the south which it is ultimately try to emulate. We ordered 1/2 lb of brisket, 1/2 rack of ribs and apple slaw. Both meats were dry and old. The apple Cole slaw was devoid of any apple. Tasted store bought from Walmart. Charging 4$ for something I probably would not buy. I understand we are all trying to promote budding food truck business but this was truly underwhelming. Though we got a 10% discount for take-out as there are not eat in options. Not recommend it. read more

Finally, a delicious and reasonably priced BBQ place in town. By place I really mean takeout kitchen. This place is not sit down. Parking is available on Tyne as well as Kingsway. If one is quick, one can also park in the alley for a few moments. The kitchen is not on Kingsway, but in a secret room downstairs in the back. The front is some Chinese travel agency. There is no access from Kingsway. I didn't peek in but I assume it's a big empty room with a BBQ grill and oven. Guy is friendly and chatty. I think it's a one man show. This guy also has a food truck. He mentioned he's often by either Grandview and Renfrew (by the McDonald's), or by Main and Terminal. Guessing those are for the lunchtime crowd, as this kitchen is open during dinner hours. He mentioned the truck location is on the BC Street Food app. Best to look there if going for lunch, as the location changes day to day. For dinner takeout from the kitchen there is a 15% discount as of the time of writing. Bonus. I tried the beef brisket, BBQ pork back ribs, and mac and cheese. Beef brisket - definitely on the greasy side. I didn't mind personally, but just a heads up. Not as salty as the competition, which is honestly a good thing (most other places use way too much salt). Nice and moist. Served with container of sauce. BBQ pork back ribs - nice and tender. Precut into blocks 2 ribs at a time, which makes it nice and easy to eat. Special mention. Lightly coated in sauce. Mac and cheese - swirly pasta instead of conventional macaroni. Once again, taste is just right. Most other places are way too salty. Was a bit clumpy, though I suspect this is because it had cooled down somewhat on the way home. One thing I really like is that this place doesn't just drench all the meat in sauces by default. Instead, the sauces are in a few small containers on the side, such that I can mix in however much I want. Besides being able to taste the actual BBQ flavours, I can now also save some for my next home meal. Bonus. Really liking this place. Will be back for more meat fixes. Recommended. read more

3rd time lucky. I kept seeing the sign on the sidewalk at Tyne and kingsway every time I drove past but did not get to try it due to timing. When I finally had the time to head over, it was closed the two times I was there. So on my 3rd visit, I literally stalked it. I arrived 10 minutes before the official opening time and just waited in my car till 5 minutes past opening time. Either I was the first customer after the vacation or I was just very lucky and the owner was kind. I was given more than the 1/2 lb order of beef brisket. Oh what joy! I also had the pit beans which was super delicious! It had peaches in it so it was a bit on the sweet side. I liked it that way. Went very well with the tender and flavorful beef brisket. I like how the bbq sauce was on the side too. This will be my go to place for brisket and pit beans in future. Parking is limited though but it should be easy enough to call in a pick up order. Currently there is a 15% discount for pick up. Yay! read more

Yo bones bbq has delicious burgers and Mac and cheese I think they were a food truck but now they have a storefront on Kingsway that has bbq to go only. Getting a bbq meat sliders which has 3 mini burgers was a good way to try all 3 burgers at once so you can see which one you like. In my opinion the bbq pulled pork was the best as I like pork they also have bbq beef brisket and bbq pulled chicken which was my least favourite because it wasn't as smoky as the other two meats and I didn't really like the chicken with the coleslaw inside the sandwich although all 3 sandwiches have coleslaw in them as well. Then the Mac and cheese with meat where you can choose any of those 3 meats above, again I went with pulled pork because it's more juicy. I like the type of noodle they use to make the Mac and cheese, it really coats the sauce, super saucy Mac and cheese- the best yet even! I like that they put a bit of bbq sauce on top with the huge chunks of meat you get and the amount of noodles I think it's a great portion that tastes so good when you mix it all together. read more

We have decided to pick up some pork ribs, beef brisket chili and apple coleslaw. Wow!!! Talk about disappointing. What happened???? The pork ribs were undercooked and slathered with BBQ sauce to cover up the undercooked pork. The meat is supposed to fall off the bone. The meat was cold and dry. 0 stars out of 5. The beef brisket chili was better but very pricey. Good flavour and consistency. 2 stars out of 5. The best was actually the apple coleslaw. Mind you the coleslaw is decent but needs more flavour. 2.5 stars out of 5. Please make sure the meat is cooked well. Now I am sad. :( read more

I'm a big BBQ fan. These folks are nice and have a cute clean looking cart. What I really liked was that there was a good way, unlike many BBQ places, to sample one than one item without breaking the bank. In this case 2 sliders and a side, w. 2 different meats. Good buns, sauce,.. but the meat needs to be the star of the show in good BBQ and though this was real BBQ, the crunchy bits and true smokey flavour were lacking a bit - I felt they were "semi-legit" for true BBQ but would need to try the non foodcart version and not sanwiches but the 1/2 of meat standalone. I had brisket and pulled pork. read more

For a luncheon for the office, I ordered the family value meal and just added ribs and sides, etc. EVERYONE loved it, especially the ribs and brisket. We will definitely order (and order more) again soon. read more

It's not easy to satisfy every stomach in my family, but we ALL LOVED the food and had a great family time, especially when things are not going so well for us during this Covid-19 pandemic. Owner is very thoughtful, professional and warm. Thanks for going above and beyond. Absolutely amazing food and service. P.S. Apparently either they improved the sauce, or it has always been done to a T;) read more

Hard to find where to go if you have opted for pick-up (it's in the lane behind the street address) but well worth it. I ordered the Mac and Cheese with pulled pork for $14.00, less 15% because I picked it up. It was delicious and very generous in terms of the amount of both the Mac and Cheese and the pulled pork. Indeed, I brought it home and could only eat half for supper that night and had the rest for supper the following night. I look forward to trying the rest of their menu. Warning: if you're not ordering via one of the delivery websites the only way to order is by phone for pick-up because they don't have a sit-down space; it's just a kitchen. And when you phone, chances are that you have to leave a message. Don't despair! If you leave a message they will get back to you in a few minutes (at least that was my experience the only time I ordered). read more

Ordered their brisket sandwich on Uber Eats for $16. The order didn't take long to arrive (~30 min). However the whole sandwich was completely cold. It wasn't a "got cold during transport" kinda situation. It seemed as if the sandwich had just been removed from a fridge. On top of that the sandwich had way too much bbq sauce. I understand you need to put in bbq sauce but the amount was just excessive. I was starving yet couldn't finish my sandwich. Very disappointed. First and last order from me. read more

Rick catered my wedding and a small pre-wedding celebration we had. What can I say about him? He's friendly, very reliable and extremely passionate about his work. His food is absolutely amazing and he really cares about what you think. We had a tasting with him, then ended up changing a few items and he actually brought us back in for a complete second tasting with everything, including drinks and dessert. Our guests loved the BBQ buffet we had at our wedding and there were tons of leftovers which Rick boxed up for us. The catering was very reasonably priced and because Rick has a food truck, it was made fresh on site on the day of the wedding which made a big difference in terms of freshness and quality. He also took care of drinks and plates, glasses, cutlery etc. It was extremely convenient to find one person to handle all the food and drinks at the wedding instead of going to someone else for drinks and a 3rd vendor for rentals. I really can't recommend Rick enough - I know that I'll be calling him the next time I have an event that needs to be catered! read more

I have not read any reviews for this restaurant. I simply picked them from door dash- somewhat out of desperation. I grew up in Alabama and my brother lives in Tennessee so I know BBQ. I have tried all the popular and recommended places in Vancouver and I've been disappointed to the point I can't believe they fool people to think their bbq and slaw and corn bread is actually good! Yo- Bones is excellent! The beef brisket was tender and their BBQ sauce is a true tangy vinaigrette- not this sweet tomato paste that many are claiming is authentic. Not over priced! Slaw - perfectly fine. I'm now going to try the rest of their menu. Service quick on a Friday night and it wasn't bone cold . So far they seem the real deal! read more

Yum! Very tasty BBQ. I like how the extra sauce is served on the side so you can add as much as your preference is. Not overly salty either. I tried the mini sliders, brisket and mac & cheese. I liked the brisket and pulled pork sandwiches the best. Friendly and quick service. Good prices. read more

I had the bbq pulled pork sliders ($9). they were very very good. Looking forward to going again.

I recently hired Rick and his truck for a birthday party at my home. 60 people were in attendance. From booking the event to the end of the service, everything was amazing! Our guests enjoyed the food a lot to say the least! I highly recommend Yo Bones! Thanks Rick! read more
