Must go for anyone in the Hammer! Lady of the front was so friendly and courteous. I had root beer float to start (gotta start with a classic). My appetizer was the chili lime rib tips, perfectly balance (not overwhelming spicy or acidic just perfect). My main was pork pull sandwiches with slaw plus side of mac & cheese no complaints here either another home runner. If you don't have a car no excuse especially during summer take 55 Winona get off at Barton and Lewis about 10 minute walk (I did it). read more

Classic southern BBQ place, all the classics really well done. Ribs, brisket, pulled pork, all well done. Pies are surprisingy good.

A fun stop on our way to Niagara Falls. This place is clearly a labor of love for the owner, who happened to serve our table while we were there. The decor is very much in keeping with the classic barbecue joints of the south, the Coca-Cola decorations, the table coverings, even the jukebox in the corner playing rock 'n' roll music. The ribs were very good, although I was glad I got the sauce on the side as it was not exactly to my taste. Barbecue sauce is a very personal matter for most people and I'm sure lots of folks would enjoy it. The fried pickles were an unexpected delight, particularly the house made ranch which really accentuated the flavor. About the only disappointment of the meal was the dried out biscuits and coleslaw that was flavored with some thing unusual. Again, I suspect lots of folks would enjoy these items. I don't know if we will ever come again but we would certainly make a return visit. read more

Great food and Service. It is a BBQ place so remember you are going to get that type of southern decor. I had the slider plate: pulled pork, brisket and a beef burger. All very very good. The French Fries were spot on, so yummy. Great , friendly service. Thank you to the amazing wait staff. We all enjoyed our visit. read more

I had been here five years ago and it exploded my brain. Their brisket is still fantastic. Super tender and really flavorful. But I wish I had just gotten brisket. It's a very laid-back place which I love. I really like the jukebox. We got the corn bread and it was fine but nothing to write home about. I got the three different sliders and same thing the brisket one was amazing and the other two were just OK. And the coleslaw that came with them wasn't the best. They did give us enough tater tots to sink a ship. Which I loved. They put some kind of seasoning on them that was really yummy. So if you want some great brisket 100% go here if you think you want some thing else from what we tried it wasn't the best. They do do homemade pie every day which is pretty exciting and they did have milkshakes but we were too full to try them. read more

I had the pulled pork sandwich with fries, slaw and baked beans. It was delicious and I would come again

One of my favourite restaurants! You sure do get a lot of food for the price, it's super filling! I always get their Pulled Pork sliders which are absolutely delicious and saucey. The Mac n Cheese is ooey gooey and absolutely perfect! Perfect meal in my opinion! Also tried their Smoked Cheddar poutine which was yummy. I will say, I was a bit disappointed by their Caesar. The rim was bland and gross. Drink itself appeared to have been straight from the premade glass bottle, nothing special. read more

Special BBQ place that was recommended from a work colleague friend. It is takeout only during COVID times. Typically I have not had a lot of trust with CDN Q joints as I've had the fortunate opportunity to eat some great smoked beef and Ribs all over the American south. When you drive up here you get a delicious wafting aroma of smoke and meat. It gets the taste buds going. On my visit I went with a brisket platter with collard greens and pit beans. It was succulent and delicious. The brisket had an amazing bark and was fork tender and great with the homemade BBQ sauce. The pit beans were outstanding. Collards were as how greens should be with little chunks of bacon. Definitely a heavy lunch. An all afternoon and evening long digestion session. But man.....was it flavourful, tangy and downright delicious. I ended up bringing back home some of their BBQ sauce which came in a 1L container. Tangy and zippy. Can't wait till I'm in the area to savour and enjoy again! True amazing Q! read more

Memphis Fire is a bit off the beaten path, but is still close enough to the QEW that's it's a worth a stop if you're passing by, like I was. This place does authentic, Memphis-style (big surprise, eh?) barbeque. My friend and I tried their platter, which included ribs, brisket, and pulled pork, along with 2 sides - we chose mac & cheese and tater tots. Ribs - a big disappointment. Very, very dry. Oversmoked, probably at too high of a temperature and for too long. Brisket - tender and delicious, thought a lot more fat that I would have preferred...I'd estimate that 40% of our portion consisted of fat. Pulled Pork - well done, no complaints here. Mac & Cheese - also well done. It was clear that they used real cheese. Tater Tots - simple, everyday tater tots, yet they paired well with the rest of the items. Dip them in the cheese sauce! Overall a decent experience, but I'd probably look to eat elsewhere next time. read more

Holy. Moly. Very tasty food, the food portions are big. The staff is super friendly. Absolute hidden gem. A must visit at least once.

Ever since I moved to Hamilton, I have been wanting to try this restaurant. I was told to go early for lunch because they can sell out of meat come dinner time on a busy day. We went on a weekday for lunch and it filled up with more people quickly. We ordered the Memphis Tour which is 8 oz of pulled pork, 8 oz of beef brisket and 1/2 rack of ribs along with a side of big guns spiced tator tots and mac n cheese. Everything was amazing! The meat was all very juicy and flavoured perfectly with their bbq sauce. The prices were decent for the amount of meat you received. I would definitely go again! The service was great too. read more

Hidden gem! Coming here was a throw back to the 80s. Love the atmosphere. Classic southern food. The root beer float was good! Didn't have one in ages! Really hit the spot. The ribs were average. Fries were done well. Crispy on every bite!' What made me make it to a four star was the pie! read more

I don't know why there are good reviews for this place. It was more than a little disappointing. I wanted so much to love this place, for the atmosphere, for the service, for the out of the way, and great pit-stop, location. the food was lacklustre, swimming in grease, and found both me and my wife ill when we got home. I suspect because of the abundance of grease. I will reluctantly eat here again, i'm sure. hopefully i'll be able to amend this review for the better. read more

I came here with my friend after a stella recommendation from my sister. It may be a bit of a ways off and may not look like much from the outside, but it sure packs on a kick on the inside. The staff was helpful (when it came to ordering) and super friendly. In the end, I ordered the sliders (it was a great sampler of three of their meats - the beef brisket was by far my favourite) with a side order of mac and cheese (so creamy and had the faint taste of something else - horse radish maybe?). My friend also got the sliders, but with salad and a biscuit. The food was more than enough and great value for the price. I would definitely want to come here again the next time I'm in the area. read more

Real southern BBQ. If you can't afford flying to Memphis, then drive to Hamilton for this amazing BBQ. Dress casual and get ready to lick your fingers. You must try the Ranch fries side. We ordered the Memphis Tour that cones with Beef Brisket, Pulled Pork, and smoked Ribs. Order some extra side of coleslaw, the southern way The service is friendly and fast. The only thing missing was the Howdy, and the Memphis tone. read more

After an entire day of eating & drinking in the 905/716, Miks S, Eric M and I stopped at Memphis Fire in Winona after my Dad (Bruce L)'s insistent nagging. We ordered the coney dog, the brisket and the pulled pork - it was all great. They even offered to make Mike's beer a Steamwhistle float - I can't believe he declined. The amazing: - Our waiter was pretty fantastic. He was friendly, got our order perfectly accurate (including cutting our hotdog in thirds so we could share) and made Eric an off-menu float which he seemed more excited about than Eric. He was beyond awesome. - Rootbeer float - best I've ever had The good: - The buns were toasted (this is KEY) - Excellent pulled pork - best I have had in Ontario - Great brisket - Great baked beans - Fun conversation with the owner about Stoney Creek Dairy The okay: - Apple slaw was sort of meh - I did not love the coney dog as much as the boys did The only problem: - no cornbread - the biscuits were completely acceptable - they're good, I still liked them, but... I like cornbread more. I would love to come back here again - I would order the pulled pork (which comes on 2 buns - 2 regular sized humans could easily split this) with the beans and the biscuits. Inexpensive - 2 floats, 1 beer, 3 sandwiches with tax and tip = $50 ---------------------------------- - Cash, Creditcard, Debit... but does not accept mastercard - 1.25h drive from downtown Toronto read more

We have been lately and have been disappointed. There is a table to the left of the reception area that sits six. We had four people tonight and that table as well as a few others were empty. We were the only people waiting and we were told the wait would be 20 minutes. 15 minutes later we were seated at the table we had been staring at since we arrived. This has happened before. It's a weird situation and it's quite annoying when you are the only party waiting. Food was ok tonight. The chopped salads seemed to have been sitting (refrigerated I assume) for quite some time because they were brownish. Not a great evening but they could really improve the customer experience by ensuring people are seated as quickly as possible. read more

Gotta have BBQ!! Great spot in Stoney Creek area for lunch or dinner. They serve ginormous burgers and portions of fries judging from the popular orders. The pina colada shake was delish.... All the food comes in ginormous poritions. A huge bowl of pork rinds to start with a spicy maple dip. Ribs and smoked half chicken were generous portion and the sides were equally large and tasty. Mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy. The beans were really good with a sweet sauce and definitely not out of a can. Service was friendly. Casual comfy setting with coke memorabilia and other kitschy decorations around the large room. You gotta eat here according to John Catucci... read more

Came here a years ago and glad to see it hasn't changed!!. Still the same great friendly service, warm atmosphere, and good food. Had the full rack of ribs this time, which was a generous portion of at least 14 ribs. The meat was tender but slightly on the dry side. You can choose from two sauces, and I preferred the sweet BBQ sauce over the original since it balanced out the dryness of the ribs. Since there is so much meat, I would suggest going with a salad or the collard greens as a side to cut through all the grease. Extra bonus of having a working jukebox that was playing records! read more

Came in with a huge group of 18. Initially we had miscounted the number of diners and they set the table up for 16. When the remaining people arrived they had told us they could not accommodate them at our table because they were busy. (Except there were many small empty tables.) 10 minutes later and older gentlemen came by and added a small table to the end of the table to accomodate the remaining 2 guests. Decided to share a chocolate mutant elvis milk shake (chocolate, PB and banana) 1 order actually equals to 2 shakes so its definitely more than enough to share. It was sooo good. They did load up on the whipcream though so had I known I would have asked for it without it. Shared the smoke and fire combo (5oz brisket, 5oz pulled pork, appleslaw and 2 upgraded sides - mac deluxe and ranch fries) Definitely more than enough to feed 2 hungry people. The meats were very tender... but the sides definitely stole the show. Huge portions and so good. Worth the upgrade! (Additional 3.25 for each super side) Didnt have any belly space left for dessert. Its peach season and the bf had a slice of peach pie which he said was very good too. Even though it is a bbq joint I'm interested in coming back in trying the burgers next time. I was eyeing them from the table across from us and they looked so juicy! read more

Never had a bad meal at Memphis. Burgers/pulled pork/brisket, you name it. The Mac & cheese and Ranch Fries are a must as well.

Decent enough place although pretty damn expensive, almost was taken aback by the prices really. Had the pulled pork, the Mrs. had the brisket, both were pretty decent but lacking in smoke. I get the impression that these are done in bulk and saved for days and reheated to order, but you gotta expect that especially if the place isn't doing tons of business and having lots of turnover. A big bummer is that they don't offer their best items at all times of the day, or even on every day. No fried chicken except on certain days , and no ribs at all until after 6pm is pretty disappointing, we ended up having to settle for menu items we wouldn't usually order. read more

I've been meaning to try Memphis Fire BBQ for several years now, and I'm glad to say I finally made it! I wish I could give a 4.5 star rating. My only issues had to do with personal preferences. We arrived at lunchtime on the Saturday of the May long weekend, and we were seated promptly by the friendly hostess. Everyone we encountered - hostess, waitress, food runner - they were all friendly and provided great service. Decor is quite interesting with lots of 50s nostalgia items. I had the pulled pork sandwich with Mac & cheese on the side. He had the half rack of ribs. Everything was delicious and portion sizes were generous. The Mac & cheese was a little runnier than I usually like it, but it still tasted good. When I return (which will be soon I hope), I will ask for the slaw on the side instead of on the pulled pork sandwich. I found it made eating a little too messy. Outstanding buns for the sandwich though. read more

Everyone comes out of this barbeque joint with doggie bags. Yes the servings are that generous. All of you will be STUFFED like neon HOGS. Excellent place for baby back ribs with either South Carolina or Kansas City style BBQ sauce. Smokehouse chicken on Tuesday & Wednesday is not to be sneezed at either but come early cause like the ribs, once it's run out, it's gone for the day. A wide variety of loaded tater tots are a specialty side. I had a Spectacular Strawberry Milkshake while my daughter had a Cherry Coke and hubby a Steam Whistle beer. Typical 60's decor with plenty of Elvis and old movie posters and great 60's oldies music. Located on the main highway of Stoney Creek just north of Grimsby border. Along Highway 8 next door to Petko Farm Fruit Market. read more

My first impression review; Everything it was hyped up to be! I had the trio sliders (app) with a pulled pork, beef brisket and hamburger which was more than I could finish, my BF who brought me here had the brisket sandwich with the smoked beans (delicious) (5 star) My second experience; I ordered the brisket sandwich and it was 3 pieces 2 of them were ENTIRELY FAT, and it was pointed out that you cannot ask for lean nor send back. Disgusting. I mean I get that you can get some fat but I didn't even eat it. My BF had to give me half of his. Mac and cheese was very heavy in a THICK cream, fat kid special read more

I'd like to start off by saying that I truly love all things barbecue and that ribs are literally my favourite food. That being said, I've eaten more ribs in the past few years than most people will in a lifetime which is why I'm telling you DO NOT order these ribs. Fatty meat, terrible consistency (boiled prior to smoking?) and all around disappointing. When I complained about them I was told "that's how smoked ribs are cooked so we can't comp them". Absolute lie. I've had MANY incredible smoked ribs and they tasted nothing like these. I should have listened to the other reviews that mentioned that poor quality ribs. I can say the same for the mac & cheese. Even the chicken is super sub-par. In fact, the only redeeming qualities about this place are the charm, the service and some of the sides. If you want real barbecue, do yourself a favour and take your business elsewhere. read more

Absolutely terrible experience. Visiting friends from Canada and we decided to try this restaurant. I ordered the pulled pork dinner and had it with a Cesar salad. The Cesar was "meh" at best. The pulled pork tasted like shredded plastic that had been reheated - twice- and the "mashed" potatoes were as lumpy as a pillow case filled with rocks. Needless to say, I barely touched my dinner. I advised the waiter that I was unhappy with my meal and that I wanted it taken off the bill. The waiter asked if I wanted something else and I said no. When the bill came I was charged full price for a meal I didn't eat because it tasted terrible. In an effort to compensate for a horrible meal, the establishment offered me a slice of pie. Why would I want to eat a slice of pie, when I haven't had a proper meal? Clearly I was disgusted with the food and I was more interested in leaving. The establishment charged me and my two guests full price for all of our meals. I have no problem paying for the other two meals and the drinks we had, but the dinner I got was awful and I should not of been charged for it To add insult to injury, the waiter took away what was left on my plate and threw it away. One of the other guests could've taken that home for a meal. Although I'm sure they would not of liked it either Their food is as authentic "southern" as Donald Trump is Japanese. Don't go here. read more

Memphis Fire is not exactly traditional BBQ (from what I understand), but the chefs are inspired. I've enjoyed the slider platter (BBQ beef brisket, BBQ pulled pork, and gourmet burger) and the Sneaky Cheese burger (a burger revelation). My only negative was that they were out of BBQ beef brisket (c'mon, y'all!). This place is a real find in Hamilton and Niagara. I did not see cornbread on the menu. Must go back and try their shakes. read more

We came here a few months ago as we wanted to check out the bbq joint in our future neighborhood. (Were moving to the hamilton area). We had heard some pretty good thig about their ribs and when we arrived it was Packed! We waited about 15 or so till a table cleared up. The decor and everything is very retro and dinerishm definately a family restaurant feeling. They also have a maximum of 2 alcohol drinks they'll serve you with a meal. Hey had some milk shakes as well but was way too full. We ordered a sampling platter of meat which was the next besy thing as the ribs were all sold out. Note: you can reserve them in advance The pulled pork was okay, I've made better, the briskey was my favorite. It also came with sausages which were okay and chicken and beans. This huge platter came with 3 sides so we got the kale, fries and I cant remember the last item. We barely finished half of it and had to order the rest to go. Portions are huge and there is a huge value here. Dinner was around 40.00 with 2 beers and leftovers for 1 more meal!! The nice thibg too was the owner came around to chat with us and welcome us to the neighborhood. He told us about his son and daughter who run the restaurant and their vision of local food. Pretty cool stuff! We will return. :) read more

Crazy good BBQ!! Love the Smokey flavour. We will definitely be back for more. Wow!!! Lovely service too!

A hidden gem outside of Hamilton that is well worth it. Though the "malt shop" decor and Elvis prints are a bit kitschy, the food more than made up for that. Make no mistake, you are not leaving hungry. A friend had ordered before I was able to join them, and it was a lucky break. When the first order came there was more than enough food for two. We split a pile of loaded fresh cut fries smothered in tasty sauce, green onions, and hickory smoked bacon bits, and an order of pulled pork. The pork was spiced just right, with plenty of deep smoke flavour, not too runny and certainly not dry either. The accompanying cole slaw was not my favourite, being on the tangy side, but it was clearly made fresh and in-house. The only disappointment was the small cup of Caesar salad, which clearly had store bought croutons and possibly sauce, though at least it was dressed up with freshly shaved parm. My friend had a fresh made thick milkshake - again the malt shop theme runs strong here. They said it tasted good, I took their word for it. Steamwhistle available. Over-all the experience was as good as it gets for BBQ around here, and I would come back any time I'm in the area. I especially want to try the beef brisket -- for me a good Texas style brisket is the benchmark for a BBQ place. Staff were friendly and servers, plenty of parking, welcoming and bright dining area, it was all around a great meal. read more

5 out of 5 stars. Excellent, food, service and atmosphere. Awesome Classic American Dinner with super smoked meats. I had the three slider sampler plate. one pulled pork, one brisket and one burger. Was very good, but the brisket was the best of the three. The pulled pork was my next favourite, and I'm not a fan of pulled pork, and I have to say it was fantastic. The burger was also very tasty. I had a side of baked beans, good but made with BBQ sauce. This is not a good thing for my French Canadian pallet. It was more like Texas smoked BBQ beans. It was still very tasty and good, just too much for me. Yes I do recommend them if you like that kind of baked beans. read more
