Sometimes good thing comes in small packages( places is small but good is bomb) It's always busy so it's good to order ahead. We love their smoked wings. Flavour and cooked to perfection over 24hours. And ribs is very juicy and tender. Highly recommend this location and there 5 over the gta. Don't sleep on this recommendation.
January 25/2022: This is a little hole in the wall right in the middle of old Woodbridge. I wouldn't normally eat at a place like that but I had a hankering for BBQ. I ordered the beef brisket combo ($12.99). The beef brisket sandwich was beyond delicious! So tender, so saucy & SO hot in temp. I gobbled it down. The fries were the coated type that I'm not a fan of. The baked beans were delicious but the coleslaw fell short for being to dry. This is a definite do-over I'd just do different side orders.
I was in the area around lunchtime for an errand and saw this was highly rated so wanted to check it out. I called in to order and the lady said there would be an hour wait unless I was just ordering a single item (luckily I was). So I got a pulled pork sandwich and switched out the fries for onion rings at no extra cost. It was a 35 mins wait which was fine for me so definitely order early and not when you get there. I'm not a barbeque connoisseur so here goes my review Pulled pork was good, not dry, bit on the sweet side. I wasn't that interested in the bun it came in, it was your average sandwich bun. Creamy coleslaw was good and the beans they gave were also on the sweet side. Onion rings were onion rings :) ! The price was cheap for the entire combo and there's a grassy area behind the plaza where I sat down and ate so that was a nice impromptu picnic! They give wipes for your hands which is thoughtful.
I was craving a good BBQ and decided to go back to Memphis BBQ. My first visit was almost three years ago and I felt it was a good time to reevaluate the experience. First, I'd like to say that I really enjoyed the service. I called in advance and put my order in. The lady who answered the phone was courteous. When I arrived to pick my order, the lady at the cashier was friendly (I assume they were the same person). Good service makes a huge difference in the overall experience. They are very busy though, so you might have to wait a bit for the food. I ordered a Mini Combo (3 bones of ribs, 1/2 lb of wings, fries, coleslaw, beans, corn bread). It was a good serving size, for a big appetite. The ribs were falling off the bone, but surprisingly not as tender as I thought they would be. My wings were tossed in the Hot Honey sauce, and they had the perfect level of spiciness. The fries were awesome, exactly they way I like them, crisp and well seasoned. Parking available on the premises. TLDR; good food, good service, highly recommended
Memphis BBQ is really fall off the bone, finger lickin good. The ribs are cooked perfectly, they're juicy and extremely flavourable. The fries and coleslaw were also good! However, the cornbread was a little lackluster and quite small. Relative to other BBQ places, the prices here are amazing! Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're a BBQ lover.
As a Californian who is blessed to have Lucille's and Phil's, as well as having traveled through the south, maybe I'm grading this little Canadian spot a little too harshly. The meat was very tender and slid right off the bone, but overall everything was very bland. The Cole slaw had no flavor, the beans were watery and the bbq sauce was nothing spectacular. I wish I had known before I had ordered that the plate would have been primarily fries, but c'est la vie I suppose. The service was also very, very slow. The location is busy, so perhaps they had a lot of mobile orders, but I wish that I had tracked the amount of time we sat and waited. Most places in Canada don't offer refills, instead choosing to provide canned beverages, but it would have been nice to sit at the table with our drinks while we waited.
If Memphis BBQ were a sports team, I'd say it had one transcendent superstar (the ribs were WOWWWWW), a close-to-all-star starter (the onion rings were good - coating/batter was crisp and not overwhelming, onions were sweet), a rotation player (the brisket sandwich was just ok; too little brisket and too much bread) and a bunch of benchwarmers all around (the fries, slaw, beans and especially the cornbread were awful). I was gonna give this 3 stars but the ribs are just SO GOOD. I'd come back here only for them and because Memphis is reasonably priced. But if I want a heartier barbecue experience (and a more balanced "championship team"), I'd still choose Adamson BBQ over this.

Have been for years. Still excellent. Not fancy. I did take out. Huge portions. Took me two meals to finish. Mild wings. Ribs fall off the bone with a great smoke taste. Baked beans and fries were very good. Tip cash or debit only. Can't wait to go back read more

I searched yelp for a place for good barbecue while visiting here in Canada. I quickly came across Memphis Barbecue. I thought it strange to see a restaurant called Memphis Barbecue here in Canada, but who am I to judge? It's a small place with a few seats to dine in, Although I think most people order carry out. I really enjoyed my meal! The prices were reasonable and the portions were a great size, so you definitely get your monies worth. As far as the food, the ribs were really great but I thought the wings were just okay. Overall I gotta say I definitely enjoyed my visit and would recommend trying them out. read more
If this review is all over the place, it's cause I'm still licking off the sauce that is all over my fingers ... and as I found out later, on my cheeks too. How did I sleep on this spot? I'm a few years too late to the party but eventually I discovered that GTA can do some good 'cue. This looks like a trucker stop along side the highway 69 in the middle of no where. The saying about not judging a book by it's cover ... it's so true here. It's an old school portable and well worn small building with a pig doing it's best Elvis impression on the sign. You walk in and the smoker is immediately to your left giving off that brisket scent. I realize that when I walk out of here, dogs will be sniffing me non stop and salivating at my toes just cause I smell like eau de pork... cochon if I want to get fancy. The place is not big at all. Half the space is a tiny kitchen area and waiting room for take out. There's about 4 guys crammed into the tiny spot behind the counter working EVERYthing to keep up with the constant stream of customers doing take out. Even on a mundane Wednesday, there was at least 6 people waiting for their take out. The seating area is no bigger than the first room. There's maybe 6 tables of 4 chairs and it's a tight squeeze. If you're a big group, just do take out and safe yourself the wait. As for the decor... well, I'll safely say the light switches gleam a nice golden shade and it's not because of the setting sun shining through the windows... it's because it's all the smoke and sauce all over it from being touched. Tables are clean and cleaned each time someone uses it... that's all that matter. Staff here, especially the ones doing the food, are genuinely interested in giving you the best. They welcome you in and as you leave, they ask you what you liked ... not just your typical 'Hey... everything ok?'. They seemed to really own the whole experience and I love that. My BBQ knowledge comes from being in Dallas a bit and appreciating their central Texan style which is low and slow beef brisket. Seeing how they were award winning ribs and wings, I went for that instead. So I know nothing ... I feel like Jon Snow now. For the wings, there are over 20 sauces... it's crazy to choose. Just go with the smoked original and you'll be amazed how good they are. As for their spice levels... ignore them, they say a 4 star spice level is medium... more like a mild. Cmon Vaughan, you can take the heat. Original Smoked Wings - This is the must order from Memphis. I never had smoke wings like this before. It was unreal... true smokiness, crisped charred bits to give that amazing flavour, and the juicest fall off the bone chicken meat I've had in a long time. I had smoked wings in another Vaughan BBQ spot and it was NO WHERE near as good as Memphis. These were so good that I wanted to eat the whole pound myself but... that there's no way I could have horde this from the table. We got this as 'extra' to take back to different houses afterwards... this was cleaned out and not even a piece of chicken skin was left. 5/5 Fried Wings - Seeing how the smoked ones were unbelievably good, it almost seems unfair to grade the fried ones. These were definitely solid with a good glaze of the sauce we chose but the smokiness of the other wings just added to the whole flavour. These were juicy but the meat just wasn't as tender as the smoked ones. Like the original smoked, these were big wings and full of meat. They're still excellent if you rather have sauced up spicier wings. 4.5/5 Ribs - I have a total appreciation of these ribs and how the staff didnt drench these in a sauce to hide them. These were beautiful and served with just enough drizzle of sauce but never covering the gorgeous caramelized charred spots. These were by far the meatiest ribs I've had in GTA and Toronto. They were so tender and just enough to easily peel off the bone but not flopping off (completely mushy fall off the bone is not a good thing!). I totally enjoyed eating these ... even I was teased for getting the sauce everywhere on me. Thank god for the wet naps at the table. I needed one... ok, more like 3. Worth it. 5/5 Onion Rings & Fries aka Fixins - So typical fixins are potato salad, baked beans, and coleslaw... which I ate none of them because I was all about the great meat BUT I did try the onion rings and fries. I'm going to admit that the star of the show is the ribs and wings which you can see on their signs and all the awards in the front room. It isnt the rings or the fries. It kinda reminds me of McCain a bit ... a well done version of it. Nothing exciting but definitely not offensive. 3.5/5 Is it the best BBQ in Toronto? I'm not sure but it's definitely the best one I've tried so far. Affordable, meaty, and delicious... you can't ask for better. This is definitely a worthwhile detour to get some of the meatiest and best wings in the GTA. read more

Memphis BBQ is a perfect spot for a down to earth date. (Maybe not for the first one!) Big Bone Combo ($20) includes 1/2 rack of ribs, 1 lb wings (smoked one recommended), fries, coleslaw and much more. Great to share or just to finish that alone and feel busting full. What more down to earth than using your hands, licking your fingers and eating meat in a trailer like dining area. Huge TV showing Food Network, so if your date is boring, you can always just watch the show. BTW, the poor ventilation in the "trailer" might make you smell smokey and meaty after. But that's much better than the cologne some of my cheap dates been using. Cash or Debit Only. Hope my date has Cash on him?! read more

Let me tell you something magical. I had a strong urge of southern comfort cravings and this is the place that was suggested for bbq galore. The place is a nice and cozy with the kitchen in the front where you order and inhale all the good smelling grub. The meal I order was the Elvis platter, this consist of a variety of everything on their menu to indulge. Everything is price very good, if you want southern comfort food, don't hesitate and visit Memphis and order the whole menu, you won't be disappointed. read more

We walked in and this place was packed! The staff helped us right away, aided us to get a table and place our order. They were fantastic. I got the elvis combo and my husband got a mini combo, only difference was I got pulled pork. I got the hot and honey sauce on my smoked wings, it was really nice, the wings were dynamite. The coleslaw was a little bland and the cornbread I would have liked sweeter. The ribs and pulled pork were good quality, not too much sauce. The sauces were not too sweet, which I liked. The fries were extremely good! Good side road bbq! read more

So really looked forward to going to this BBQ joint. The line up was insane. There's only like 20 seats in the whole place. Food was meh. So disappointing. Brisket was not what I expected. The brioche bun was meh. Fries were ok but really had my hopes up ok the meat. The quality is not what you would expect - at least for a brisket. There are definitely better sources...for beef brisket....you just need to find them..... Let's go hunting! read more

Okay, this time, I hope I had an odd, one-off, less than stellar experience. Ordered a takeout Monday night special, which included a full rack of ribs, a pound of wings, one large side all for $25 bucks! Great deal, and my experiences here at this location have been only positive and exceptional. However this time, it was not to be so. Pros - a great deal - outstanding original smoked wings - a nice gesture by the boss to throw in a small order of fries for free. Cons - Very dry, overcooked, chalky ribs :/ - Ceasar salad is quite weak, like the fries and cornbread. I have to believe that it was just a bad rack, which can happen to anyone, since the smoked wings were spectacular. Probably not enough fat to begin with, so it got dry and chalky. So I will definitely be back and still enthusiastic, but I'll have to keep an eye on food quality going forward. read more
"You see that beat up lookin' shack? Yeah, that is the best BBQ you'll ever have in your life." What time we arrived/Wait time? We arrived on a Thursday night around 7pm. It was fully packed and probably because the restaurant is quite small. Around 7 tables it looked like. We got takeout. We still had to wait a bit even though we called ahead but that was fine. Atmosphere? It is very thick air in there. Everything is very small and you feel a like everything is close together. It's very authentic feeling though and it gives the place charm. It kinda feels dirty too haha but I still didn't hate it! Service/Staff? The service and staff were so nice. The chefs were always keen to greet and say goodbye to the guests and wishing them a great day. They were very intentional and sweet. They also always addressed you by your name which was a nice touch. Food/Menu? The food is amazing. Definitely one of the best bbq places I've ever had. The big boy combo is what we got. We got chicken wings with fiery honey garlic sauce (HIGHLY recommend, sooo good!! Has a good spicy kick but not too spicy), and the ribs were so good as well, and the onion rings were amazing (similar tasting to Harvey's onion rings) and the fries were great as well. The corn bread I wasn't a fan of but I never usually am a fan of it. Overall, I'd 100% order here again and again. read more

The place has a truckers stop feel to it. It's pretty small and staff is down to earth. I ordered the beef brisket sandwich meal which came with beans fries and coleslaw. The beef was tender and juicy however I didn't enjoy the bread it was a regular hot dog bun that didn't compliment the meat well. They gave a decent amount of fries as well. I definitely left full and my meal was only $10.95 read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon. The place definitely gets really busy, so order ahead if you're taking out. We ordered the ribs dinner, fried wings, slow cooked wings, and a side of slaw. The ribs are a-ok. Better than Ribfest quality for sure, fall of the bone (in chunks), maybe a 7/10 on the tender scale. Fried wings are typical, nothing special. The slow cooked wings are interesting. They're tender to the point where you can lightly pull out just the bones cleanly off, and the cartiledge is basically non-existent. They are on the drier side though because of that. The dining room is small (8 tables of 4 seats) and really smokey. Funny enough the power went out because of a storm and then it REALLY got smokey. Good service. read more
A cozy restaurant with delicious ribs and wings. There are a total of 6 tables for 24 people, so you might need to wait for a table on a Sat/Sun evening. The food was delicious. The ribs were very tasty, albeit drier than how I grill them myself in the summer, but that's ok. They were still very tasty. Wings were ok, not spectacular, but alright. I wish the wings were hormone- and -antibiotic-free. There was no mention of that on the menu, but it would be nice of them to serve organic wings if they can afford to. The service was good too. No complaints whatsoever. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and would love to go back in the future. read more

This was the first time I've ever been to a smokehouse and I have to say that I had an amazing experience! Friends customer service and portions are large. I orders the PARTY PACK 4 and it was more than enough to feed 3 people, wait we had to order extra wings!!Until my visit I wasn't a fan of pulled pork, the sauce they use goes well with it. Their wings and fries and finger licking good! I recommend the honey hot sauce (it's mild) the lemons pepper dry rub was good as well. I will definitely be back!! read more
