Review Memphis Blues Barbeque House - Kelowna

Our server was amazing. Knew the menu very well, gave us excellent suggestions on what to get. Fair warning, everything on this menu looks so good. I wish I could have eaten more! The BBQ shrimps are a MUST. Not only are they cooked perfectly, but the seasonings the chef adds to them *chefs kiss* The corn bread served with the shrimps are also yummy. I had the Oyster po' boy. The oysters itself were delicious, especially the sauce added. The sandwich presentation I wasn't too fond of. The bread was bulky, and the way the sandwich was bulit wasn't appetizing. My partner had the half chicken meal. He said the chicken was cooked well but there just wasn't enough seasoning on it. I enjoyed the baked beans they brought with the dishes. Wasn't a fan of the coleslaw. There was definitely other items I wish I had tried, like the ribs! We'd definitely try this place again when visiting.

Our party was craving barbecue and glad we visited here. The location was amazing. It is located in downtown Kelowna and close to shops and City Park. The staff were friendly and accommodating, as we had just made a reservation for six people only a half an hour before visiting. The atmosphere was gorgeous, modern but still had a southern charm. The only downside about the atmosphere was that it was awfully hot, as the temperature outside was about 33ºC and the door was wide open, not allowing for any air conditioning to fully work. Regarding the food, our party really enjoyed the ribs, they were soft and fell off the bone. The half rack of ribs were a huge portion, we were very happy about that! Unfortunately, we would not recommend the wedge salad, as it was deconstructed and not in a pleasant way. Our party looked at each other, confused, while it was being served. Next time we visit Kelowna we will make a stop here, for the ribs!

Best food experience in Kelowna, hands down. Atmosphere is great, food was great. Recommend their whiskey ale, brisket, pulled pork sandwich...any of it. Fries are so good as well. We will be back for sure.

The service was great but the food was amazing. We had the Memphis platter....a fantastic mix of meats...brisket, pulled pork, ribs, rib ends, sausage and chicken. The fixing equally were exceptional...baked beans, slaw, potato salad, fries and signature bbq sauce. The only done side was the chicken...a bit bland and dry but later found out we can do substitutions. We'll be back......

We were in town for a day and stopped off for a bite while walking downtown lunch. Total walk in. Great atmosphere, bet alot of fun at night. Three people, full rack beef ribs, half rack pork ribs and a pulled pork sandwich. Food was perfect. Juicy ribs with the meat falling off the bones. Perfect sized sides of beans and coleslaw and fries had the size and texture that makes you want more. Will make the trip next time in town.

Amazing restaurant. Had so much fun here. We came as a group of ten and had the Priscilla Platter. There was so much food we were taking some away. Multiple people had two plates. The vibe here is always so good. Kara...the little bit crazy Scottish waitress and bartender, who sounds kind of like a pirate, but is not, is so fun and helpful. Would definitely recommend this place. This is a staple for me every time I come to Kelowna. Keep it up here...best BBQ around. 10 out of 10.

The food here was delightful. The portions were huge and the atmosphere was very 60's. You could see lots of posters associated with jazz. We even saw one from our city: Burnaby jazz festival. I like how you pay at the front like at a food court. It's kinda expensive though, even with the portion it comes in. The only thing that was unpleasant was that the food was overly salty. Especially the chicken. The skin was so salty that I couldn't taste anything but salt. I'd still say it's worth coming. At least try it once.

We stopped in here for lunch and weren’t disappointed. The prices are right and the bbq is delicious. I had the pulled pork sandwich and beer deal, which came out to only $20. The pork was extremely tender and the fries were great. Great spot to stop for a quick eat.

Loved the decor on the inside of the restaurant. Catfish was over coated and dry - I’ve definitely had better. The brisket was really yummy but was a little greasy. Fries were delicious. Wings were a good way to start the meal

Was a great experience having a lunch here because the waiters were amazing and the foods came to our table quickly. We ordered a combo plate of pork ribs and brisket about $31 with BBQ shrimps $15. I give 10 out of 10 to the shrimp dish and 7 out of 10 to the main dish. The reason is Was the brisket was not very juicy and and the coleslaw salad was not sweet.

We ordered Dry Rub Chicken Wings & Barbeque Poutine with Pulled Pork. Food was good but the server was excellent. Very kind, polite & down to earth, she actually made our day. Five stars for her. Good job guys 😊 Ordered just fries again, price was $5, they were fresh and hot with good quantity.

Wow! If you are looking for a hit of flavour eat here! You have to place your order at the front kitchen but the food is brought out to.your table. The nacho platter is big enough to feed a family and then some. Highly recommended the brisket topping for the nachos. Big portions. Everything had lots of flavor, beverages were cold on a hot day, food came out fairly quickly.

Amazing atmosphere and great tasting food. This is what BBQ should taste like.

By far the best BBQ in the Okanagan. The pulled pork, the sausage, coleslaw, fries, iced tea, bbq sauce… I could go on it’s all amazing. Big portions, friendly helpful staff and a great “Bluesy” vibe. Plus they have a great whisky selection.

We order the nachos and the beef brisket platter which was extremely good and satisfying. The service was great and the pricing was average considering the food you are getting. We will definitely be coming back the next time we are in Kelowna!

This is a long overdue review. During the summer I went in with my oldest daughter and wife, the staff were very friendly and showed their diligence towards a food allergy that I have. Not only that, but at the time I started to have an emotional breakdown because of a death in the family. The staff that I never caught the name of were clearly concerned for me as I tried to collect myself for several moments and failed. I could hear them trying to check with my wife if I was ok. I was not, but eventually did regain control of myself. They did not try to pry into anything but it was clear if I needed anything that they would have helped if they could. I don't know if any of them will see this or even remember it, but I do. You should eat here, it has human beings that work in it.

After our morning winery tour we decided to have some BBQ at Memphis Blues. The 2-4 person sampler was just right and satisfied our BBQ cravings. Definitely worth visiting.

It was the most amazing catfish I've tasted in a long time, the BBQ brisket is perfect and the BBQ beans outstanding. Excellent service by their exceptional team. (Both front and back of house), great atmosphere, awesome music, and s great patio to enjoy your food. Decently priced too. I highly recommend to new commers to put this place on your "where to eat" list, you won't be disappointed! (Bernard location)

The smell and sounds in this place brought me back to Memphis years ago...and the food was absolutely amazing...my new go to place!!

The restaurant came highly recommended and I was looking forward to visiting a BBQ house. The experience was mediocre. I didn't mind ordering and paying at the counter but how can you ask a customer to pick a tip percentage before they've experienced anything they would base the tip on? Half of the meat on our platter was dry and sides for four were inadequate. I found it strange that a BBQ house only served one flavor of sauce that was tasty in moderation because of the richness. The beans were delish! Wait staff was very friendly but several items on the table were sticky with BBQ sauce and the skylight above us was full of dust balls and cobwebs.

It was my second time in, and I will continue to make a point to go anytime I am in Kelowna!! Service, food, environment!! All of it is on point!!

Visiting from Saskatchewan, the food was incredible and great prices. Staff friendly and quick! Would definitely become a regular place if we lived in town!
Lily Johnson
I came into eat yesterday with my friend I liked the food , but the female server needs to have a attitude adjustment and be a little bit more customer service oriented. I won't eat if she is the one preparing my food.

I can’t even believe how awesome this place is!!! David, the manager accommodated our group of 10 adults and 10 children with such ease! From the multiple phone calls to deciding on what platters, the service, the food, the price, the atmosphere...Incredible Thanks for making our night out with friends such a great one :D
Leanne Smith
Yummy...yummy...yummy. Went with my 3 kids (18,13,11) we got the Memphis platter for 4 and there was more than enough food.
Susan Angus Kolasa
Awesome bbq...great food!! Service was great nice stop after a long drive.
Eddy White
Hot damn! Every time I go the food is on point. Try the BBQ shrimp appetizer. And jambalaya. Mmmmmm.
Conni Fraser
Was highly recommended, but very disappointed, A platter for 4 ppl was not only inadequate but meat was dry, sides allows everyone to have a tablespoon each. Could have ordered a larger platter but the serving girls recommended the size. Not sure I would return, maybe I just expected more.

Great, unique experience! Friendly, accommodating staff, delicious food :-)
