Reviews for Embers BBQ House in Mission, BC
Decided to give Embers BBQ House a try after doing a search for restaurants near Mission Raceway. Ordered the Micheal Sandwich... with fries...it was a very good bbq chicken sandwich. The hand cut fries were awesome too. The service was good too. A hiddenlittle gem! Read more
Hey, for a place with no liquor license (therefore no beer with lunch) I really enjoyed the atmosphere as well as the pulled... pork sandwich and fries. Good portion, fair price, good variety of small label, sugary, carbonated beverages if you're into thatkind of thing (I just had water) and the service was good. I had their ribs before, my mouth waters at the thought and I'llcertainly have a pile of them if they're available next time. There's an outdoor patio, tables inside, bathroom is way in theback. A real Mission gem. Read more
Best pulled pork around that we have experienced in the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland. We always make sure to stop in (or... detour to) when passing through. That said, this most recent trip - sides seemed to have gone down hill. The beans were runnyand didn't taste fresh and the coleslaw while fresh didn't have any taste (lacking dressing and salt - tasted like plaincabbage). I like like coleslaw dressing not too heavy but this was so light I couldn't taste it. Anyways, staff are alwaysfriendly and food is made pretty quickly. We'll be back for the pulled pork sandwich but will just skip the sides all togethernext time or go with the fries. Read more
Amazing BBQ and the portion sizes are HUGE. We recently had their pulled pork poutine and oh. My. Goodness. So yum!
I can't remember receiving orders for 5 ppl and 4 were inedible. The wraps were so bland, chicken tasted like it was boiled and... no flavor whatsoever. The short rib dinner, I gave it to my dog. It was in a ' au jus ' but that was more like water and themeat was like cardboard but the grossest part was the congealed fat. The rib dinner was the only thing that was tasty so $97 fora rib dinner??????? Read more
It's not bad. If you are looking to have your bbq meats smoked, then you will be disappointed...especially with the Brisket... which is braised and served in a very thin liquid meant to be au jus (lacks flavor). The pulled pork is seasoned with cuminwhich seems to be trying to cover up a lack of flavor and dryness. The baked beans were tasteless so you should avoid this side.The pork ribs were pretty good. They meat falls off the bone nicely and the bbq sauce is tasty. The chicken lacks smoke andtastes like regular rotisserie chicken. The overall presentation of the platter is good and there is a lot of food.The wingswere good with a nice honey garlic flavor. The caesar salad is fresh and delicious and the fries and bread were very nice. Fatwedges and generous buttery portions respectively. The service is attentive and friendly. The dill potato salad is excellent!But speaks to how everything is nontraditional. If I were to come back, I'd have the ribs with potato salad again with caesarsalad and fries. The restaurant was very clean as well. Embers is not a traditional bbq house. So don't expect a Memphis, Texasor Carolina style bbq restaurant. Read more
Background - we moved here from Memphis TN and have been on the hunt for good bbq since than. So by now we had tried every bbq... joint in Vancouver metro and started make our own quite freaquently. Happened to be in Mission and gave this place a go. Thegood: fries, garlic bread (suprised they didnt serve cornbread thou) and coleslaw. The avg: chicken, beans. The sub avg: bbqribs. And my issue was with the sauce in particular - see my pictures. It looked and tasted more like ?chilly? on top of meat,like what you get with your chillydogs at a county fair. Normally you would expect a texture and aroma of some sweet (orsemi-sweet) tangy bbq glase with spices and balanced tomato, vinegar notes, etc. This one had none of that - i felt like if iopened can chilly and poured over ribs, this is what it would look/taste like. So, with all fairness, maybe thats what they rgoing for intentionally, but it didnt work for us. Otherwise a pleasant place, but it is unlikely we will go back. Read more
