Reviews of Memphis Blues Barbeque House & Catering Co. (Catering)

Lisa Abbott

Great staff and wonderful atmosphere. The food was really fresh and the sauces were to die for. Highly recommend ????

Brooke MacDonald

I tried a 1/2 rib and it was pretty enough quantity for one person. Soft and well cooked meat. But it was too salty. Staffs are very friendly.

Patrick Sanders

Fabulous food combined with fantastic servers. It's a combination that makes dining or take-out a true BBQ experience. I will surely go back to experience each of their delightful menu items. My quest for great Southern foods in the Okanagan Valley has found the source of delicious smoked meats.

Parkin'Spot

Food is good. BBQ sauce great. We got the Memphis platter and BBQ nachos. Platter said 2-4 people. It is big, but I'd say like 2-3 max. If we didn't have the nachos too, it wouldn't really be enough for 4 people. Nachos are good, but bottom layer has no toppings. They should layer it.

Jeff Green

It was not bad but not amazing. As a lot of people had mentioned previously, the nachos only had toppings on top rather than it being layered. I don't think it was worth the price to be quite honest. Meat is amazing but some of the sides are questionable.

Ermagerd!!! Such. Good. Food. Some of the best BBQ I have ever had!! Bring your appetite - their portions are HUGE!!

R Felipe

The food was so delicious!!!!!! If you love BBQ, you have to try it here. I knew about Memphis Blues but I didn't know it was that good.

Ken Varias

Just ate here. Been to many other locations. Ordered two pulled pork burgers. BBQ sauce came on the side and had no flavour. No smoke no salt barley any spice. Meat portion was good. Same thing with the slaw no flavour. Usually don’t post negative posts but after spending $30 on this meal we were not happy.

My significant other and I went to this Kelowna location a couple of times, first by ourselves as a couple, then with family. I will start by saying that it is a pretty neat system. First you order, then go pay, and your food is prepared and delivered to your table. When you are done your meal, you can just leave, instead of waiting for the bill. Now about the food. Well every time I go, I get the same thing, the pint and pulled pork special. My other half always get the pulled pork poutine which I end up finishing for her. The meat was tender, and the food was generally good. I found that small areas of pulled pork that were not doused in barbecue sauce were a bit bland, but that was resolved quickly by mixing the meat with the sauce a but better. I like that set up as I get a more varied diet that way :) . The price is a tad on the higher side, but the food is well worth it. The service is impeccable and the decor and ambiance really speaks of a smoke house, which makes one feel comfortable and casual. At this location, we got to eat outside, enjoying the sunshine and being entertained by the people passing by, as well as the lovely street musicians that serenade the tables while performing their art. I cant wait to return to this location next time I am in town.

Loved this place grate for kids super friendly staff and over all great place food was to die for

Leo Lawson

Visited Memphis blues on a Saturday and had their special. Look at those beef ribs! Ya ya ya ya! Absolutely delicious. You seat yourself and order up at the register here, it’s pretty relaxed with a great blues background music track! I’ll 100% be back. Decent few beers on tap. Mmm now I’m craving some more. Yum! Here is a pro tip. Every time I'm in the area I pick up a pound of brisket with sauce on the side to go for $22ish. Yum, Brisket buns for a few days!

Emily Smith

Meat was dry and only one BBQ sauce. We still ate it all but would prefer if the meat wasn’t so dried out. Sides were good and sauce had a good flavour but would rather have had more options rather than one kind.

Best BBQ you can get in the Okanagan. Also, the largest Bourbon selection probably in B.C. You should definitely check this place out if you wanna be full and take home leftovers. Great for large groups of 4 or more. The brisket is amazing! Sit on the patio and enjoy the okanagan summer. All you can eat pulled pork is on Mondays.

Bill Mackie

Awesome service and food... Still like my Nashville BBQ.. This is an amazing 2nd!!!

Dylan Bertucci

We ordered Dry Rub Chicken Wings & Barbeque Poutine with Pulled Pork. Food was good but the server was excellent. Very kind, polite & down to earth, she actually made our day. Five stars for her. Good job guys ???? Ordered just fries again, price was $5, they were fresh and hot with good quantity.

Groovy Moovie

Really good BBQ house in downtown Kelowna. Very casual take out eat in style. Meat was really tender. Sauce was a little too boozy and fries were a little too salty for us. Otherwise a great BBQ joint, place can hold multiple big families

Philippe Lurol

The beef brisket sandwich is just awesome

Tonya Marier

Ordered Beef Brisket and it delicious! It’s on the pricier side for BBQ in the Okanagan. Primarily self-service. Bernard street is very busy on Saturdays in Kelowna so it’s a great spot to people watch

Kim W

Hubby and I went for his birthday and the food was incredible! Best pulled pork he said he's ever had and my first experience with it was amazing. The service was great, both girls working were helpful about the menu and very sweet to us during our meal. The layout of the restaurant is super hip and they stuck true to their word by playing blues tunes in the background. Great spicy ceasars to boot! All around five stars!

Kate Sanders

Amazing food and awesome staff

Ahmed Fadhil

We had a fantastic Christmas feast catered yesterday! The turkey was brilliant, such great flavours... and collard greens...who knew ????

Nina Lynch

Such a lovely first experience. I got the beef brisket meal with cornmeal crusted shrimp (all take-out of course). The wood-smoke really came through without being overpowering. Shrimp was perfectly cooked (I probably would've been happy …

MARCO CID

Stopped by for a quick bite.. which turned into a 1/2 pound of pulled pork, brisket and a half rack of ribs + corn bread and potato salad. My favorite was the pulled pork - I found the brisket slightly fatty for my liking, but YMMV. I didn't partake in any of the cocktails but did have some sparkling water and some (ok 3 glasses) of their home made lemonade which was the best thing ever on a hot day.

Ronald van Duren

The guy in the kitchen had a CUT on his finger while preparing the food and i was completely turned off. I asked the guy to wear a gloves when preparing my food and it was just pure attitude towards me saying he wears gloves when cutting the chicken. You aint suppose to preparing people food with a cut on your damn hands ... Nasty!!! Happened July 21, 2021. I wouldn't recommend this place...

Neil H

Really excellent food here. Much better here than the two Memphis Blues in Vancouver. We ordered the Elvis platter and everything was good. If you order just one meat grab the beef brisket! If you order two then grab the brisket and the rib ends. Highly recommended!

Deb London

Standard BBQ fare. Prices are reasonable for downtown Kelowna. Shared a little bit of all the meats. The brisket and the sausage link were by far the standouts of the crowd. They also had boylan soda by the bottle which was an added treat.

Brody Jeffs

Amazing restaurant! Very clean and inviting. Friendly staff, and amazing food got the catfish poboy and it was to die for. 10-10 will be back soon

Sean Dufresne

Hahahahahahaha what a horrible experience, can't help but laugh. You know what happens when you microwave leftover food, you take your plate out, forget it on the counter because you got distracted, come back to get it and it's a clumpy, dry room temperature mess? That's what we paid for. That's what we partially had to eat after waiting 1 hour and 15 minutes for. There's a fantastic gelato place down the street, which worked out well cause we were tired, hungry and disappointed. If youre tired and hungry like we were, go to McDonald's or another fast food of your choice.

Narcos

Awesome food, staff and music. Definitely recommend!

Madalyn Light

A must try if your a BBQ person. Great menu options, and some large platters for sharing.

Helena Biasibetti Brendler

Great atmosphere and decor. Cool place overall. Wife and I both had the beef brisket, sandwich and meal. The brisket was very tender, and tasted great .... Not too smokey. The fries with the sandwich were good. With the brisket meal came baked beans, coleslaw and pot sal. The beans had good flavour, pretty standard. The coleslaw was pretty average. I enjoyed the potato salad though, the mustard flavour wasn't too sharp... Just wish there was more of them. Very pleased with the speed and quality of the service, and the cooks shattered my expectations. Will be back for sure ????

Rod and Gloria Humphries

Loved the food here! Fall off the bone ribs. Best BBQ! They have a great location lots to do after. Food is very tastful. I recommend this place if your coming to visit,

Suze Bee

Authentic bbq in the truest sense. We ordered one of their larger platters (6 of us), and we couldn't finish it. HIGHLY recommended.

Carole Felipe

By far the best BBQ in the Okanagan. The pulled pork, the sausage, coleslaw, fries, iced tea, bbq sauce… I could go on it’s all amazing. Big portions, friendly helpful staff and a great “Bluesy” …

D C

Delicious food! Smoky BBQ sauce and friendly service. The cornbread was a nice touch.

Arash Ahmar

One of the best places i have eaten im kelowna. I can't wait till I can go back again.

Kim Bennett

We order the nachos and the beef brisket platter which was extremely good and satisfying. The service was great and the pricing was average considering the food you are getting. We will definitely be coming back the next time we are in Kelowna!

Mark McLennan

Great atmosphere. Fantastic tasting food. Friendly staff. I would recommend.

Chris Chung (tamahome27)

We needed a caterer for our wedding in Summerland on really short notice and Andre was very accommodating. He personally made the trip from Kelowna and everything was handled very professionally. We received compliments about the food from our guests all night. Would absolutely recommend their catering service for your event or check out their restaurant.

curtis wood

Great people , good food , had a wonderful time , will be back in a few weeks to do it all over again !!

Leonardo Saboya

This place is off the hook! 5* service and the food is just too good and I bet you can't finish your plate! Oh there's one more the music is awesome!!!

Abe Bueckert

Smoking good

Greg Poirier

Great food. Rib ends and dry wings were delicious. Will be going back for more!

L.R

Can always rely on these guys for good BBQ.y favorite it's the pulled pork sandwich!

Jehezkiel Eugene

We just popped in for a quick lunch and were the only one in the restaurant patio had a few people and it was before noon. Food was good service was self serve for the most part, order and pay at the till, pick your own water or pop etc but the prices were more full serve waitress type prices. Order lunch special with pop no booze for two a d it came to a little over $60.00. Might be better after covid but I was not impressed, food was good tho.

ari collins

Absolutely delicious! Great staff and reasonable prices.

Sam Domshy

Food is Mehh. I think their food are all microwave heated. Some are Dry and hard. It would be nice if they will cook it upon order. Quick service, great and friendly staff. But the food isn't.

Just Me

Went for the year end employee appreciation lunch, 2 giant platters gave 9 grown men, plus Mike, the meat sweats. Great drink selection, might come back just for the 1.25 oz hours of rare bourbons.

Tianjun Zhang

They deliver exactly what you'd expect, good BBQ in a southern style atmosphere. Highly recommend their rack of ribs!

Alexander Trinh

Friendlyish staff and ok food. The portions were big. But you pay for that. Ordered the beef brisket and 1/2 ribs. The beef was dry and seemed like it was over cooked. The ribs were better but not as good still dry and tough. Not tender at all. Considering that this is a bbq joint. They don’t have good bbq. Have had better at other places. Even a seafood joint in Stevenson Richmond had better ribs. Not worth the price. Maybe the pulled pork is better but considering the other dishes. I wouldn’t count on it.

Konoza Services

Ordered the Memphis feast and some extra sides ( potato salad,corn bread and collards) along with a whole key lime pie for Easter dinner this year. So good so full! Everything was fantastic and the service on our take out order was so very good. Love this place. Thank you and keep your selves safe. I can't wait to come and eat in again.

Jason D

Delicious!!! ???????????? Best place in Kelowna

Jared Leach

I can rate just to 5 but I would like to say 10 stars, so delicious ???? 100 percent recommend, great service good portions so good

Mauricio Tascón

Absolutely terrible, Although service was reasonable food quality was shocking. The " Organic green salad" , basically a Costco greens container thrown on a plate , not 1 other type of vegetable included. The chilli is substandard even compared with Tim Hortons . Fries should be tenamed " Bits " not even long enough to prevent ketchup getting on your fingers at first dip. Do yourself a favor and save yourself some money , just get McDogfoods !

Melkalver Melkalver (Johnny D)

Great food. Semi-self service, order up front

Andrew McArthur

Food was outstanding.Service was very average.Live music was a bit weak. Air-conditioning was not working well.But other than that was a nice experience.

BLODWYN BRISTOW

I requested a pickup order for 12 people today at lunch and everyone was very happy! I only gave them a few hours warning but the food was great and everything was on time! We will be back!

Shannon Hussey

Took my friend here for a whisky, largest selection I've ever seen in town. Had a pappy van Winkle 10 year and it was glorious. The food is always good, best bbq joint in town!

Anna K

The food was not my type... won't try Canadian barbecue again ???? The place and staff were nice tho!

Cj Stubbs

Would give 0 stars if I could. Will not order from here again.... O and everything is Microwaved. That's how they heat up there food.......

Courtenay

Brisket is amazing! Service is friendly and the patio space is really enjoyable

mark popham

absolutely phenomenal best barbecue in kelowna

Jarrett Gallant

Amazingly delicious and generous BBQs, reasonable prices, and timely orders! Ordered a simple pulled pork sandwich and my friend had the pulled pork meal. Fantastic menus and reasonably priced while located in downtown Kelowna. Orders came out timely, too, with around 10-15 minutes waiting time. Worth the visit. You gotta eat here if you haven't!

Michael Danks

Food is amazing and stuff is very helpful and polite...Prices are a bit high but a lot of hours and love go into making the food..Highly recommended!!

Kevin Stevenson

Really good soul food.

Versatile Anu

Wasn't planning on grabbing BBQ, just walking up and down Bernard looking for something eat. But I am glad I did, great friendly service as soon as I entered. …

Marino Danesin

If you love smoked meats of all types this is a place to check out. They had live music and a good selection of local wines and beers.

Carol Turner

Very good bbq. Not too heavy a smoke. Sauce on the side. Excellent brisket and pulled pork. Chicken and sausage get honorable mention as well. Clean friendly environment.

Guesse Kraig

Wow! If you are looking for a hit of flavour eat here! You have to place your order at the front kitchen but the food is brought out to.your table. The nacho platter is big enough to feed a family and then some. Highly recommended the …

Rob Scholefield

Really enjoyed the food here. Staff attentive and friendly. Great atmosphere. Burgoo was the best I've had. Highly recommend

matt merritt

That place is really good anytime!!!

Rob

Great BBQ joint! The BBQ isn't the best I had but it is definitely consistently good. Worth checking out

Heath Allen

It was the worse experience I ever had.this place needs to train their employees to be polite. They are super rude.

Nathan Walker

The BBQ smell when you get close is soooo delicious. It was Thanksgiving weekend.. they had one turkey plate left. So we ordered that and a combo plate of brisket and ribs, turkey and sides were delicious. Cornbread was dry and just out of the fridge. Beans were delicious, BBQ sauce delicious. Fries were overcooked. Brisket was good, albeit a bit fatty, we should have asked if they had lean. Ribs were good. Lots of food for the price which was great.

vadoud ahrari roudi

Best pulled pork sandwich I've had in a very long time. The sauce is unbelievable and the meat is extremely tender.

Sandra Chsse

Very disappointing. I got the brisket “meal” which came with bland, dry brisket and a small amount of coleslaw and small amount of beans. For a BBQ house it’s kind of funny that the best part of my “meal” was the coleslaw. I’m glad that I’ve had real brisket before because this was disgusting. It was not tender, VERY fatty, it’s like it was just the old parts they had from the night before and just slapped that into a takeout box and said thanks, $25 please! I agree on supporting local business but not when they screw customers over like this.

Paola Micallef

The elvis platter is so amazingly yummy! We got it for pick up, and had 3 people eating it... we have so much left over we can have a whole second meal!

Tony

Great service and awesome staff! :) My food always arrives very quickly! The food is so good! I was lucky enough to have worked for a place where these guys catered the food, just great!

Anthony Carr

We were super hungry, and ordered the Memphis Platter with an extra half rack of ribs for two adults and a child. Food came super fast and in massive portions! We definitely over ordered. The beans were heavenly, and the potatoe salad was incredible, as were the fries. The ribs, pulled pork, sausage and brisket were yummy. The chicken was a little bland and dry. Did I mention the beans were REALLY good!? Overall a positive dining experience.

Scott M

Best bbq sauce I have had in Canada. Had a e to 4 person platter that easily fed 4. Rib ends were awesome.

Guy Killoran

Staff and ambience were great.. Sliced brisket sandwich was just okay. Nothing special,

J. B.

Amazing collection of bourbon (if that's your thing). Also, authentic southern BBQ. ????????

Jennifer Jeon

I'm saddened for this review... As many others have found such joy and delicious food here... …

Yasamanl

On February 27, 2021 I had heard about Memphis Blues and it's great food. To my dismay I found the complete opposite. The food was horrible. Dry, no flavor and poorly displayed. On top of that the waitress was rude, totally ignored us(two tables) and spent her time talking to the cook if you wanted to call him that. On the bill was the servers name...Mr. Clean. Poor poor service and food. I have heard there are better servers and cooks there. Take you chances.

robert dowell

Good food and nice atmosphere. Highly recommend the sliced beef brisket.

Shawn Hamer

Everything was delicious but they were very busy so the wait took a little longer

Ryan Hoffman

The food and the beer are amazing. I spent a good time with my family in this restaurant. I really recommend.

kathy little

Decent enough food fare! Memphis blues can be found all over the place and it's grown for a reason; however, there's definitely some better BBQ to be had (head over to the BBQ competitions for an idea)

Erica He

Thank god I ate here on such a hot day as my food kept me nice and cold. Major disappointment.
