Reviews for Memphis Blues BBQ House in Vancouver, BC
On our visit, three of the four of us ordered something which turned out to be unavailable and had to find a second choice. I... struck out a second time and had to find a third pick. Not the biggest deal; I get that a (somehow) popular restaurant is goingto run out of the popular items at some point. I just wish they could have used their big chalk board to let us know ahead oftime. Each order-wait-disappointment cycle took about 10 minutes for some reason, so we didn't even finish ordering for about 30minutes. When the food did arrive, the quality was abysmal. One person's food was cold since theirs was the order that wentthrough the first time and then set around cooling while the other orders caught up. Everything was way too salty, especiallythe fish (super thrilled to wind up with fish at a BBQ place.) The $8 sausage links were nothing better than you can pick upfrom any grocer for way cheaper. The side dishes were also fairly disappointing. I suppose if the main was superb it wouldn'tmatter, but when the mains let us down we had nothing on the plate to turn to. The beer I ordered was warm and under fermented,so it was flat and very sweet. Nobody is checking whether the kegs are refrigerated or spot checking the new kegs when tapped. Read more
Food was good. We really loved the the fully loaded nachos. The beef brisket and the sea food tray mix. The staff were very... nice. Would revisit again. Read more

*Lunch Special Review* I noticed listed on their sandwich board a number of rice bowl lunch specials and was intrigued at what... may be offered. I opted for the Teriyaki Beef Brisket Rice Bowl to satisfy my yen for their usually succulent brisket. Servedin a Japanese themed wide bowl, it consisted of jambalaya rice, mixed greens and a fist sized serving of chopped brisket. Theteriyaki sauce was served on the side. I'm not quite sure how I feel about this special. On the one hand, it is very basic andexactly what is described on the menu; on the other, a little bit more creativity in presentation would've been more appealing.One thing I did have a problem with was the cold teriyaki sauce. I took that as meant to be a 'dressing' for the bowl, so Idrizzled it over the rice and salad and mixed. The combo was decent albiet a bit odd. There was an expectation that the sauce bewarmed and mixed with the brisket, but I guess even the chef dare not mess with the perfectly smoked goodness of the beef. Theverdict: a work in progress. It is a great option if you want some bbq without entering the usual meat coma and sweats, butthere is also so much potential for improvement. Personally, if the brisket was served sliced instead of chopped, it wouldn't beas obvious that they are just creative in selling their off cuts (albiet still delicious) of brisket as a lunch special.

Nice and kind staff. Good for those who are fans of Jazz music. It is played all the time, and the walls are covered with... pictures of famous Jazz artists. They have multiple TVs around the place showing sports highlights. It's fun watching thosewhile having dinner. The foods come in large portions, and you can expect to get your hands dirty eating them! They offer freeguest WiFi ???? Read more
For Appetizer we ordered calamari but unfortunately its too salty and overcooked.ribs,chicken and pulled pork is ok.The fries is... good but the salad is not that good. Read more
My delivery order had the worst quality/cuts of brisket and it was horrifying. Unlike the other photos on google, I received... extremely poor cuts of brisket that were along the grain ( BIG NO NO) and they legit gave me legit chunks of fat with no meat (Ilove fat but this is messed up, in one of the photos I'm holding only fat). The sausage was dry, which I thought was impossible,and the barbecue sauce tasted low quality of no elements of the meat present. I spent a lot of time exploring the Texas BBQscene, and I always taught to respect the animal you're butchering/cooking and this is just insulting to the cow. Whoever servedthis cow needs to hold it a proper funeral so you're able to apologize for the crime you've committed to it. Read more
I wish I was able to give them more stars. Their barbecue is one of the most delicious barbecue I have ever eaten. It?s Smoky... and supper healthy. The portion is too big and all the meets, chickens and vegetables are so fresh. The price is really makesense. Just trust me and try their food. You won?t be regret. There is also very nice, cozy and friendly bar that makes you tohave a drink and relax more. They are super friendly and their customer services was amazing and shocked me. Read more
