Memphis Blues BBQ-Vancouver
 

I'll be in the Granville/Broadway area of Vancouver this weekend and am thinking of trying this place for lunch. I've read *very* mixed reviews about it on various sites and I'd like to know my fellow Fodorites' opinions of it.

Are you kidding me????!!!!! this place rocks! I lived in Vancouver all of last year and took all of my visitors from Ontario there. They loved it! Order the memphis feast/platter.....it feeds 3 people at least ($30). Share it and only spend about $10 per person! If you love meat, you'll love this place! It's a must!!!

... and I thought the food was so-so. Inexpensive, yup, cramped and fun eatery, yup, good food, nope.

Nope, we were very disappointed. We're big bbq fans and had read that MB BBQ was great so we were happy to give it a try. The place had about half a dozen people in it when we were there at dinnertime, and the food tasted like it was cooked the day before. Atmosphere-wise, there were pics of blues artists on the wall and that was about it. Otherwise, it looked like any average diner. I couldn't honest recommend it.

Thanks for the replies.

I didn't get a chance to read them before I left, so I went to Memphis Blues for lunch on Sunday. It wasn't ambrosia, but it wasn't bad. It was just average and typical of 99% of the barbecue restaurants that I've experienced. I doubt that I'll ever eat there again, but my curiosity has been assuaged.
