    The food was 2/10 the gravy was jelly Service was 0/10 literally on the phone while giving us our food Ambiance was 0/10 there were box's eveywere And it took like 15 minutes to get a poutine

    I ordered a plain poutine and the gravy was like jello! And overall my poutine did not taste good I went to complain and he said "That's just how we make it here" and it took over 15 minutes to get the food alone and it was not busy at all! The service 2/10 the worker was on his phone on a call, he touched my food without washing his hands

    Pulled pork sandwich with guac??? Hmm
    Mandy U.

    My husband has been here before and liked the food. Today we stopped by and he ordered the pulled pork sandwich special. The sandwich was suppose to come with guacamole. It didn't. I took it back up and asked them to add it. They took the sandwich to the back and brought it out. Still with no guac... i took a pic because he insisted it had guac on it. Do you see any? Thankfully he gave me a little cup of guac but sweet Jesus if the sandwich comes with it just PUT IT ON!

    Fried Chicken sandwich (spicy) with fries and sweet tea.

    I have had this sandwich on my mind for a while, so I made an excuse to get out of the house for lunch and made my way down to the Quay for some Re-Up. The Fried Chicken Sandwich is seriously delicious. Crispy fried bits encase the juicy chicken, while slaw and bacon round it out. I could have easily eaten a second, not because of it's size but because it's so yummy. There's a reason Re-Up gets so much love. They make some seriously good food. I've yet to be disappointed and am happy to have them out here in New West.

    1/3lb pull pork platter. And poutine with bacon.

    Came back and tried the chicken and brisket we missed last time. Chicken have massive flavours. It was juicy and tender. Really enjoyed them. 5/5 Brisket on the other hand was a disappointment. Having called ahead to reserve and all. Brisket turned to be dry and gamey, seems overcooked. Perhaps it was due to the cut of meat being exceptionally lean? 2/5 Overall still a great bbq joint. If we're ever to come back will avoid the pull pork and brisket. Ribs, chicken, and poutine with bacon are to die for.

    Ordered their full barnyard sampler for 2-3 people. Comes with ribs, brisket, chicken, biscuits, coleslaw, and beans. We added an order of yam fries. The ribs and chicken were not bad, but the beef brisket was very lean/dry (not tender) so we were disappointed by the brisket. Generally, it cannot compare to American bbq but the sampler is a good deal for $45. Full review and more pics on my blog: https://sincerelyloewe.com/re-up-bbq-southern-barbeque-in-new-westminster/

    Platter for 4 - $71 after tax

    This is your chance to try a typical southern bbq in a cute little market in New West. My suggestion to you is to go during off-peak times. Otherwise, you will not only have to line up and wait for your food for a long long time, you may not even be able to find seating. The eating area is not very big. There were 5 of us - 3 females and 2 males - and we ordered the platter for 4. This came out to be $71 after tax and we were all so full near the end that we had trouble finishing the food. The food was good but I've had better... let's break them down: * Fried chicken - this was probably my favorite. They were piping hot and, oh, so juicy! * the ribs - I was expecting the meat to "almost" fall off the bones but it didn't. It was still a little bit hard. * pulled pork - nothing special about this - your standard pulled pork. * coleslaw - this was yummy * small bowl of chili - this was ok (I liked Tim Hortons' version more) * biscuit - this would have been better if it was at least warm. They were cold. Overall, it was a pleasant eating experience. However, we all found that we were VERY thirsty after the meal and very sleepy as well.

    I was craving for bbq, and with friend recommendation I decided to give this place a shot. Due to Covid everything is take out. I have to say....their service is ok. 3.5/5 stars. They rarely pick up their call but if you meet them in person they are great people. Food: 4/5 stars I had their chicken sandwich combo for lunch and it was so juicy and delicious. Their home made coke wasn't my type of drink. Fries was amazing. Dinner: we ordered 1) full rack of rib -4/5. So smoky and amazing. Probably one of the best rib I have tasted for a long time. Reason why they lost a star is because the lean part taste really dry. It almost like beef jerky. 2) beef brisket- couldn't comment because they forgot to give to us. 3) chicken bucket- 4.5/5 .their chicken is amazing! It is a little pricy but worth every penny. I usually eat fried chicken at korean restaurant and Louisiana Popeyes chicken. But this is my next to go place. 4) coleslaw- 5/5 so refreshing and delicious . It is not those coleslaw you get at kfc or churches. I really enjoy it while eating the ribs and fried chicken. It takes the greasy taste in your mouth away. 5) Biscuit - can't comment because they forgot to provide for us 6) pull pork fries - 3.5/5 I wouldn't recommend for take out because fries do get soggy. But pull pork got the same smoky flavor as the ribs. Friend was season perfectly. Pull pork wasn't dry it was pretty juicy.

    Re-Up has been around for at least 5 years now and although I wanted to try a new place in River Market, I knew I could count on these guys to have solid food. We ordered the BBQ call the Full Barnyard platter for my husband, daughter and myself. The platter was $36 before tax and consisted of 2 pieces fried chicken, 1/2 rack of ribs, 1/3 pound of beef brisket, beans, coleslaw and fries. We tried to take down this beast, but had to surrender with a few remaining pieces of brisket and fries. The beef brisket and ribs were tender, but I loved the flavor of the ribs more. The fried chicken was juicy and flavorful. The beans were smokey and the fries had some sort of spice (I think it's Cajun?). Worth the calories.

    Always wanted to try this place and finally I got a chance. I have heard a lot of good reviews about this place and even on Yelp this place has pretty high ratings. So I got the pull pork slider. It was a very decent price. Lots of pull pork. The one thing I liked about the pull pork is that it has a nice kick to it. Not too saucy or not drenched in BBQ sauce. The meat was moist inside. Overall, I have only good things to say about their pull pork and nothing negative. They are located inside River Market. Note that they might close early on weekdays. Just come early or at least 2 hours before the stated closing time on weekdays and you should be fine. Recommend giving this place a try.

    Got the "spicy" fried chicken sandwhich combo
    Cherry W.

    I think I came on an off day... They weren't that busy but their service was quite slow and they got my order wrong. The staff do seem like they are trying provide service but may not be fully trained? I went with two other people and it took forever to get their order in as well cause the cashier was confused... I ordered the spicy fried chicken sandwich but it wasn't spicy really because they only spread the spicy mayo on half of the sandwich... I order the ginger beer and they gave me lemonade I didn't go back cause I feel like it would take another 15 minutes for food... I will say the quality is there! Good fries, and the fried chicken is good, they use white and dark meat!

    Chili cheese fries with brisket and pulled pork; fried chicken with coleslaw
    Chloe C.

    Technically a 3.5, but I am giving it a 3 because the cashier guy was kind of rude and impatient. The food was a bit slow in arriving as well. Prices are reasonable, and portions are pretty large. Fried chicken (5/5) I don't really eat meat, but everyone else who tried it kept raving about it, and said that it was the best thing we ordered. My dad even said it was the best fried chicken he ever had. Baby back ribs (3.5/5) The ribs had good flavour, and was pretty tender. However, they were cold when they arrived, which was disappointing. We won't be getting this again. Chili cheese fries (3.5/5) We added pulled pork and brisket to this. These two items were kind of average, but overall the whole dish was decent. Buttermilk biscuit (1/5) This was served cold, which pretty much ruined the whole thing. I like my buttermilk biscuits hot and crispy, thank you very much. I personally would not come back again, but everyone else would come back just for the fried chicken. It kind of sucks that they don't allow any substitutions, because all the mains only come with slaw, which tasted terrible.

    Fried chicken combo - chicken, BBQ sauce, coleslaw, biscuits!
    Eunice L.

    Came here for lunch. Fried chicken special with buttermilk biscuits and coleslaw for $29 could be enough for 4 persons. Chicken was nice and crispy with a delicious batter, coleslaw had a good dressing on it without being too saucy or mushy, buttermilk biscuits were fresh and amazing with the provided butter. There was a nice BBQ sauce for the chicken as well! I noticed some unusual ways to get 5-10% discounts (yellow socks, sing your order, etc) so I would have to come back and see if anyone actually does the quirky requests for discounts. They also have a menu of DIY cook at home stuff (meats, biscuits) - must give it a try!

    first off .... who sells thigh meat as "tenders" or as they call them "tendies"…read more this is a huge scam. I have eaten chicken tenders for 40+ years .... never have I had them served to me as thigh meat the thigh meat was from a low end source a very poor and cheap cut of meat, fatty, greesy, un-seasoned and just plain gross. the sandos ..... again thigh meat ........ any "chicken sandwich" you order from a restaurant is breast meat unless they make it clear. again, I have 40+ years of experience here. spice .... non existent and had a faint curry taste to it. this is not nashville hot chicken. breading .... gross ... no flavor. no crunch. straight up gross. the comeback sauce .... so gross. also ... in the photos on their instagram the sandos .... have coleslaw in addition to the pickles and sauce. both our sandos came with no coleslaw. what the heck? I have had nashville hot chicken in toronto, los angeles, vancouver and nashville. this place does not at all taste like that profile. also not one of the places I have been to served gross thigh meat instead of breast meat. we spent $40 and had a couple bites all of it went in the trash. and even then I felt indigestion for hours. gross all over. this is the worst restaurant experience I have had in over 5 years. do yourself a favour and drive into vancouver and go to downlow chicken, frying pan chicken or cream pony. these places all have real traditional nashville hot chicken sandos. do yourself a favour and avoid this place!!

The size of the chicken meat is pretty big but has absolutely no seasoning. You have to make sure there's sauce or pickles when you take a bite. Was excited for the waffle fries but they felt old and dry. Super disappointed...should have read reviews before ordering here.

    My friend said "hey, wanna listen to some heavy music while having a good meal?" I wasn't sure of…read morethe music but I would never say no to good food. Last night my 3 friends and I visited this awesomely eclectic, dimmed lighted little dive on East Hastings Street. If you don't like heavy metal music then still run to this awesome little place to enjoy delicious homemade food. Service was prompt and friendly. Truly enjoyed looking at their decor of vintage animals and rock/heavy music. We had: Jackalopes Lager, Strathcona Pilsner and Pickle Back (Canadian Club Rye with a shot of pickle juice). My friend said the pickle juice made the Pickle Back surprisingly refreshing. The Rib Splitter: The blackberry bbq sauce ribs are insanely good. The meat just falls off the bone. The vegetables were seasoned perfectly and cooked to perfection. Loved the hot skillet that kept the mashed potatoes temperature hot/warm. Hands down, the best ribs in town. Bake-up the Dead: breaded chicken breast served with mashed potatoes and vegetables. The chicken was seasoned well and juicy. The house made gravy added another dimension and depth to the already perfectly cooked chicken. Veggie Burger: my friend said it was an excellent veggie burger in that the homemade patty was moist and very filling. Wouldn't miss beef eating this veggie burger. Bead pudding: 2oz of bourbon solidified this light and sweet dessert. My friends liked the bread pudding but I didn't as I usually don't like sweet bread. Hoping For another option on my next visit. There are vegan options so filling a range of eaters. Will be back to try the nachos and another supper meal. Tips: The tables in the back are not as loud with music compared to the front. Hastings Street is now all meter parking so go to the side streets. Weekend open till midnight.

Ribs, slices of brisket, pulled pork, and some salt & pepper wings. Comes with carrots and onions and turnip(?) and potato wedges. Decent amount of food. Definitely left satisfied. I'd come back for more BBQ goodness. Food is solid. Recommended.

Receipts come with 20% Mallard ice cream which we quickly redeemed.
