The Culinary Story

BBQ Blessings

BBQ Blessings began with a simple mission: bring authentic Southern-style barbecue to Vancouver while honoring community and tradition. As a Black-owned restaurant, we pride ourselves on offering rich, flavorful smoked meats that stand out in the Pacific Northwest. Our journey started in a humble kitchen, focusing on quality ingredients and slow smoking techniques perfected over years. We source local produce when possible, supporting Vancouver farms and vendors. Our menu is intentionally curated to balance classic BBQ favorites like ribs and brisket with hearty sides such as collard greens and homemade cornbread.

We also cater to private events, making every gathering memorable with our signature flavors. Many customers say our food rivals barbecue from Texas and the deep South—places known globally for their smoked meats. We believe in community, quality, and hospitality, ensuring every guest feels welcomed and satisfied. Whether you're stopping by for a quick lunch or planning a large event, BBQ Blessings embodies the true spirit of good food and good company.

Experience Through Their Eyes

Honestly, I'd consider this the best BBQ place in the area. Yes, I've never been to the south or had BBQ in places known for this type of food, but I do think they have quality meals here at reasonable prices (which is on the expensive side, but you get the meat that you pay for). Customer service here is top notch. I had the same waitress both visits and she is a sweetheart, bringing us anything we need and always checking up on us. I've tried the pulled pork and the brisket, both of which were good. They give thick cuts, so I didn't feel ripped off at all (as I have at other places). I'm a huge fan of the baked macaroni and cheese, which seems to be a hit-or-miss in the other reviews. Personally I thought it had a very addictive flavor both times I went. Even more awesome to me was the blueberry dump cobbler, which provided for a delicious dessert.

I've lived in Texas but hands down this is the best ribs I've ever eaten. They were so soft my grandma could've eaten them! Generous amount of food with the 2 sides, and the added extra of some pickled onions and some dill pickled slices, I couldn't eat it all! Our server was very attentive and kept our tea glasses full. Only thing that could've been better is if they had Sweet Tea like in the south!

Update- stop by the restaurant for lunch today and they are permanently closed. Spoke to the new owner and he's planning on opening a brew pub at that location. Down home excellent southern style barbecue. The collard greens were amazing! Had the pull pork Meal which came with two sides and cornbread. Our server was kind and polite and took good care of us. Love the atmosphere nothing fancy but just kind of chill. Several menus selections such as tacos pizza and nachos as well. Will definitely be going back. Great value for the money today. Watch for coupons in the Columbian we save five bucks on our lunch.

We were 100% satisfied after BBQ Blessings catered lunch for Labor Day at our company. The owner even delivered and setup for us-the food was AMAZING!! If we weren't in a recession and dealing with high inflation, we would have definitely had them cater again! Hopefully government can get costs & taxes under control so we can call you back. Thank you BBQ Blessings!

I came from out of town and I plugged in barbecue. And I decided on this place and I'm so glad I did when I arrive the parking lot was so full of cars which is such a good sign that you find a parking spot. When I went in it was going to be a little bit of a wait is because they were kind of short-handed which it's okay because this is the family ran business. Whats a the barbecue place with pizza and they serve beer and I came here for the barbecue of course. The menu there's isnt a lot on the menu but that's okay you don't need a lot on a menu to be a very good place. I ordered a half rack of ribs because I thought maybe I could eat them all and she had suggested why don't you order three and I'm like no I want the half rack and I'll order some sides with it. I ordered the baked beans and the cornbread. My food came rather quickly which is good and then I overheard them say they ran out of barbecue sauce they make it in home there which I can see why because it is so good. Let me talk to you about the ribs the ribs are one-of-a-kind fall-off-the-bone very very meaty good ribs I haven't had this good at barbecuing so long. If it's just you I would suggest just the three ribs because this is a lot of food. The baked beans were interesting I'm not a big bean fan but I found him very good in the a different kinds of beans in them that I never thought of having in my baked beans. The cornbread was so good and so moist you don't need nothing you don't eat at butter honey nothing you can eat that by itself. If I could get this 20 🌟 would because it actually was that good. Even though they were shorthanded they were very professional and they did their job very very well and I can't say enough about those gals that work their butt off. The owner was there he was helping fix problems as they happened but it's just a good family atmosphere is very clean. Is another thing I noticed I can't say enough about this place and we was just really absolutely the best and thank you. One more thing I don't think the cost was that much for over cost. For what I got I think it was reasonably priced.
