This place knows how to do bbq! From the moment you walk in your engulfed with bbq smoke. This place is packed no matter what day you come I would highly suggest ordering in advance for pickup but even then you will still have to wait. The food lets get right to this, the ribs here are just awesome! Tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The menu is flexible and substitution is allowed on their menu items. Other items worthy of mention here are the onion rings, wicked wings, and the Memphis burger. Don't expect to be chinsed on portion the sizes are more than filling! Price point is almost as cheap as making them at home and buying groceries minus the prep and cook time. The only reason a star was lost was the wait time but its only cause they are so popular. The owner is in the kitchen working it non stop and is super friendly and a great guy! Huge raptors fan too. If you are ever in the area this place looks sounds and tastes like a real bbq joint should! Be sure to checkout their Monday special its a really great deal and can feed 2people under 30$! read more

Hands down, best burger joint in town. Make sure you order ahead though. Sometimes on weekends, you gotta even order one day ahead or right when they open. They get super busy!! They are always friendly no matter the circumstances! read more

Memphis BBQ is not a place to take a date. Unless you don't plan to have a 2nd date. This is a complete hole in the wall, dive restaurant, with great food! Ordered the Elvis platter, as I was unsure of what I should order. This provides enough food to feed 2 people....easily. Four ribs, 4 wings, pulled pork, french fries, corn bread, coleslaw, & baked beans. I could barely get through half of the food, and it was delicious! I would go back again for the ribs, hands down, any day. In fact, I will likely go there for some take out this weekend. The staff are really friendly, and the only thing that could possibly make this better would be if they served alcohol, and I could have downed a very nice cold beer with my ribs and wings, and pork, and ahh... so much food! Can't wait to go back! read more

Excellent BBQ joint. Still probably the best ribs I have ever tasted. The staff is great and service is fantastic. This place may not look like much from the outside but trust me it will probably be the best bbq you have ever tasted. read more

Family dinner after spending the day enjoying Toronto's best attractions. Was looking for good place, not far from hotel that could feed our hungry bellies. Found it on Yelp, saw BBQ and 4.5 stars and was all in. Staff was phenomenal, kind, courteous and warm, food was plentiful, tasty and filling. Thank you Aaron, for inviting us back, we hope to return soon. read more

Memphis BBQ is a pleasent surpise in the middle of a residental area you will find a small cozy diner. The decor is unique with lots of funny posters and such. The chairs are like rocking chairs and feels like it can break anytime soon. There are only 6 tables in the dining area. So yes it is super tiny. Now to the food!! O-M-G Amazing pulled pork, wings and ribssss. Yes I got all that in one platter - I got the Elvis Platter. Came with a 4 ribs, 4 wings and some pulled pork as well as fries, colesaw and beans. All that for $19 wow what a deal. I can't wait to go back for more BBQ next time I am in the area. Highly recommeded for the food. Rating: Service: 4/5 Food Quality: 4/5 Comfort 2/5 Decor 3/5 Value: 5/5 Parking: 5/5 read more

Memphis is the very definition of hole-in-the-wall place with amazing food. This place looks like a broken down trailer, and they make no excuses for it. The people come for the damn good food. I usually get their mini-combo: for $15 you get half a rock of ribs, half a pound of wings, fries and a whole bunch of sides! Have not finished it to date. Awesome bang for your buck. Also the food is delicious. They have a small dining area so you can sit down or just order via phone and pick it up. All in all a great BBQ place. TL;DR: 10/10, my go-to place for ribs in Vaughan. read more

Everything Wayne C said above, I agree with 110 % . This place is one of the biggest surprises in Toronto area dining, with fantastic service and a great, small dining area to add to the atmosphere. The smoked wings are phenomenal, and like nothing I've ever taste. My better half raved about the BBQ Brisket and the ribs, with original sauce, were stellar. I would highly recommend Memphis BBQ. They were sold out of the pulled pork, but that's ok. It's a great reason for us to go back for another visit. Don't miss it ! read more

Been going there for years and it's still awesome. Small place but well worth the trip there when I craving for southern type food. read more

This place is the definition of a dive. Driving by, it kind of looks like a shack, and inside isn't too pretty either. However WHO CARES because the bbq is so damn good here it has now taken over what will be my new go-to bbq place (to replace the sadly closed and amazing Paul and Sandy's). The pulled pork is heaven and perfectly seasoned and moist. I usually never rave about fries, but the fries here are the perfect crispiness and SO DAMN GOOD. I could eat these fries forever. Next time I really want to try the angus burger because my friend had it and it looked absolutely amazing. It's a fair bit of a drive up Islington into Woodbridge for me but this place justifies it. Will be back, hopefully soon. read more

I laughed at the review below done by "guy fieri". It's so true....this place would make DD&D any day. AWESOME ribs - possibly the best north of the US border. read more

I LOVE BBQ, and this place is exactly the sort of place that will make you love it, too. Now that they've franchised, it's easier to get my fix, which is even better. I took some friends to the Milton location a few weeks ago, and I was not disappointed. The quality is still there (a common issue for expanding businesses), and the price point was pretty good, too! We got the #4 party pack, which is a rack of ribs, 1 pd. wings (get them SMOKED! trust me!) and 1pd. pulled pork - plus fries, slaw, cornbread and beans. Everything was just delicious! The ribs were perfection - the meat just fell off the bones, even when they were getting cold, you didn't have to work for it - the slow cooked perfection would just fall off the bone. I've never had a bad meal there, and look forward to many more. It's not fancy, but that's not what real BBQ is about. Trust me - this place is one of the best in the GTA. read more

Ordered the Mini Combo - which is not mini at all! Great value for delicious food. The ribs fall off the bone tender plus there is extra bbq sauce at the table. Tons of crispy fries, which you can also substitute for onion rings at no extra cost. It is a cozy restaurant with minimal seating so the place was packed when I was there. Expect a longer wait for your meal on busy days. read more

This place is the closest thing to the southern rib experience in Toronto. The building is from a more simpler time... but the ribs are excellent. Just be ready to wait a bit for your food... the price of popularity. They have some free parking as well and the restrooms are clean. read more

I checked this place out (despite it being a 30 min drive from my house) due to the glowing reviews on this site and Blog T.O. We got the take out combo #3, which was definitely enough for 4 people (plenty of leftovers). I suggest paying the extra $20 for the #5 combo, since you get an extra rack and 2 lbs of pulled pork. The wait was a bit longer than we expected, considering we called in the order 3 hrs in advance and then had to wait for 15 mins once we arrived (the waiting area is pretty cramped). Though I guess it ensures that the order was fresh when we picked it up (they didn't start prepping the order until after we had arrived). Great cornbread, slaw and beans. Decent fries (eat them fast or they get soggy in the takeout container). Good wings, good ribs (though I didn't like that they were pre-cut). The ribs are actually huge, I don't know if I've seen pork ribs of that size before. The rib sauce didn't do much for anybody in our group. It was good, but it isn't worth the drive from downtown. But if you live close by and you love BBQ, go have a look. read more

If you are in the mood for the most amazing pulled pork and southern rub style ribs.. this THE place. Don't let the environment deter you from going it's worth it. read more

Best place for ribs!! Staff are super friendly. Meat literally slides off the bone!!!

Love it. Order to go typically as it gets really busy; but for a small town bbq joint this place delivers. Had it 3/4 times since and it's always pretty decent, obviously it's not going to be the same as a southern delight but for cold Toronto, it's actually really good man. Would go again and have since.. read more

The place is super small, the parking is horrible on a busy night! Service is horrible most of the time we go and we go often so don't expect more. We did take out one night they forgot to give us our fries so we had to go back then by the time we got to eat everything was cold! We use to be regulars back in the day but now the service is super horrible! We'll decide to go back again maybe in 6-8 months to see if the service has improved but for the time being, we'll stay far away! 2/5 sorry Memphis but you need better staffing! read more

Best barbeque joint we've been able to find in the GTA. On par with the incredible BBQ shacks we visited in the southern US. Awesome smoked wings and pulled pork. Brisket can be a little fatty but generally is really good. If there is a weakness, their corn bread is uninspiring. Should be baked in little individual pans and served piping hot and crispy, not cold slices from a commercial-looking loaf of bread. We generally get take out as 1) the dine in space is pretty small and 2) who wants lots of witnesses when you are about to pig out on great barbeque?!! read more

Moneys worth!!! Come here for Monday special! You get 1 full rack of their delicious ribs, 1 lbs of their crispy wings (sauce on or the side) and a ton of fries. In my honest opinion, this special feeds 2 people to the fullest, if not three. The best genuine BBQ place ever! I recommend this to anyone and everyone, sucks that I live kinda far from this place. Otherwise.... I'd come here once a week (Mondays)! Enjoy read more

Hole in the wall type bbq house GREAT PEOPLE Good wings AMAZING RIBS Really good pulled pork Awesome prices! The epitomy of bang for your buck. Just wished they served alcohol! Highly recommended! That is all! read more

I was hoping this place would live up to they hype, heralded hole in the wall that cranks out amazing bbq food. I was partly correct. It definitely is a hole in the wall. Not much seating available and the hardware is like a cafeteria - plastic baskets and trays, paper napkins, lots of paper napkins. You might be better off ordering takeout. The ribs were certainly hype-able. The wings were decent enough too. None of the sides were anything special, but I guess you don't come here for the cornbread. read more

This is the best rib and wing place i have ever been to. I work around the corner from here and my company always orders from them. Qualitiy and value this place is fantastic. The pulled pork is amazing. Highly recommended. read more

My friend and I were in the area for a movie and we found Memphis BBQ but accident. As we both enjoy BBQ we decided to try it out. Had the patter to get a feel for everything. Brisket is excellent. Nice and smokey with a good fat content to it. The Pulled pork was good too. We when the way of the wet BBQ and the ribs were good. The Beef tips were amazing though - really enjoyed them. The Corn beard was nice and moist - very enjoyable. The chicken - meh. Take it or leave it. The onion rings were a disappointment but i do miss the onion rings of hwy 61. Overall I would recommend the restaurant. read more

An absolute Gem /classic in woodbridge, a small but DELICIOUS space. Great for summer picnics and shareable dinners!, i mean if you want to share, it is definitely a must try! read more

If you're a fan of all the Rib Fests we've had all over the GTA, and you miss greasing up your face with mouth-watering baby backs, then make sure you step into this little joint in Woodbridge! You'll think you're still at your favourite Rib Fest. Bottom line: the ribs are excellent. The BBQ is delicious, the meat is cooked perfectly with the right amount of bite vs tenderness (it should not completely fall off the bone! Don't listen to that marketing crap). The chicken wings are great as well. The place isn't large so dining in may be tricky. We just order take out whenever we're driving by. Memphis BBQ does it right, and for a minute there I almost forgot I was in Canada. read more

Whatever Kris U said, I second the motion, but you won't see me wearing spandex Elvis outfits... 8 little tables in what looks like an old 2 room house. How can this beat so many institutional rib places? I went to Famous Dave's in Minneapolis. Famous Dave was part of a BBQ Pitmaster's competition show on the Food channel, so I expected top notch ribs. But this little shanty called Memphis in the Great White North annihilated Dave's for tenderness and flavour. Sorry, Dave. A massive load of food on your plate that will be hard to finish in one sitting-all of it fantastic. This is a place with character, where it is all about the cooking (or smoking). If you are wearing a suit, leave the jacket in the car, and roll you sleeves up like Jim Cramer. And lose the tie. Tablecloths? We don't need no stinking tablecloths! read more

Cheap and likely the best ribs in gta! (camp 31 in Paris still owns the title of best, for multiple reasons, but memphis is closer!) read more

It's okay place , the food wasn't that good despite what other reviewers claim to be.. No proper parking Very dirty -needs a lot of cleaning Chicken wings were dry Ribs were okay but the best read more

Do you remember in House of Cards (the Netflix version) how Kevin Spacey's character eats the best ribs of the country in a small place that really doesn't look like much from the outside and how he literally and shamelessly porks out to the point of licking his fingers because the food is just so damn good? Well, this is the real life equivalent. Let's be honest. You've seen the reviews. I'm not the first one to tell you the wings are awesome, the burger is tasty and the food is absolutely fantastic. So let me tell you about the staff. We arrived 15 minutes before they were closing and they welcomed us warmly, made us sit, took the kids' orders quickly so they could eat first, then proceeded to take our orders. The person that seemed to manage the operation was friendly and kind. The waitress had a nice smile (although she was probably tired after a long day's work) and her recommendations were exquisite. She never made us feel like we were in the middle of the way, although they did have to prep for closing. She was very considerate and checked on us often to see if we had everything we needed. Yes, the food is awesome. My 7-year old wolfed down her burger to the point where I was wondering if she was going to eat another one. My 5-year old loved the BBQ sauce so much she drowned her fries in it. A 5-year old liking BBQ sauce! I never thought I would see it, but good food is a universal language. However, what made this one of the best dining experience for my family is the fact that the great food was supplemented by the most hospitable service. They could have told us they were closing. Instead, they treated us like we were guests in their own homes. This is truly what makes this place special. read more

Love the place! Great wings/ribs Always a load of friendly staff It's a small place so be prepared to wait for a seat if you're dining in (its worth the wait)! read more

As a lover of BBQs, I drove by and decided to stop and order food. I am now obsessed with their ribs. I dream of their bbq sauce and how the meat just falls oof the bone. Their beans are also amazing. So is their corn bread. Just thinking about Memphis BBQ makes me want to go get Memphis BBQ. Sweet mother of pearl. I guess, I know what I want for dinner tonight. read more

Mouthwatering flavour . Huge portions . Had the Elvis platter and it lasted 3 meals. Definitely worth a visit if you like BBQ

Corn bread is GREAT! Food is all around fantastic. With good food comes a decent price point :) Love going here read more

I've been to Hard-8 in Texas, Phils BBQ in San Diego. I thought Phils BBQ in San Diego is the bomb compared to any BBW places in Texas! I have now proven wrong when my in-laws took me to this hole in a wall kinda place! Yes, I cant get enough of this place!! Everytime I think of Toronto, I automatically drool and think of Memphis BBQ. Ivan Pavlov will be happy how this place became my classical conditioning of BBQ! This place is the bomb! Hope they keep up the consistency! read more

I always order the half rack ribs and half pound wings with fries so I get a bit of everything. Probably the best tasting food in its category that I've tasted so far! The ribs and wings are smoked to perfection, and the fries are just the right crisp. However, if you dine in, its not too spacious and it takes a bit of time to get your food. Sometimes during peak hours, people aren't able to grab a table. Nonetheless, I love to eat here because the food makes up for it. read more

Alot of people wait for Rib Fests to gorge on ribs, but Memphis BBQ is open year round and offer's some of the best (or maybe the best?) ribs you can get. I discovered this place by reading a "Top 10 best ribs in Toronto" article, however this establishment is in Woodbridge. The food at Memphis BBQ so good that its number one on a top 10 list for a different city. You don't really need much convincing, the ribs here are the perfect mix of smokey and BBQ saucy. Most other restaurants I find slant towards dry smokey, or saucy BBQ. Memphis gives the best of both worlds. The wings here are also top tier, they are better than most establishments that specialize in chicken wings. I've brought dozen's of friends here for food and they've done the same to their friends and family. Memphis BBQ gets my highest recommendation, it is the absolute best BBQ restaurant in the area and even if its hard to get to if your without car and live in the city, making the trek here is worth your time. Whenever you eat ribs after trying Memphis BBQ, you'll wish you where just eating at Memphis. read more

Amazing ribs and wings! Smokey, sweet and fall off the bone delicious. Tiny little eating area but cozy and full of happy customers. I went on a Monday and took advantage of their Monday mania special. Full rack of ribs and a pound of wings with large fries or salad for $25 tx included. So good, I'll be back for more!! Steady stream of takeout orders too! read more

Memphis BBQ - Monday mania special! - Barbeque Near Me - Woodbridge, Ontario

My friend brought us here as he said that this joint has the best ribs in town. He wasn't lying. I am a hard-to-please kind of girl when it come to ribs and Memphis BBQ ribs blew my mind! The place is small and gets very busy (for a good reason). Service was a bit slow, but worth the wait. Service was good and portion was great too. Will definitely come back and introduce it to more friends! read more
